The 'door ajar' signal stays on even when the door is securly shut. This also causes the dome/interior lights to stay on. This also makes it so you can't fully lock up the car. After a certain amount of time this also causes the alarm to go off while the car is unattended. All of these things combined drains the battery, leaving us stranded. With a newborn and a toddler this is a major concern.

Ford edge door ajar latch issue indicator light stays on while door is closed dome light remains on inability to lock the vehicle faulty latch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rlmgeehq38
The door ajar warning lights come on every single day for all doors. Constantly causing surmountable stress to driver. If unable to get the sensor to turn off, the doors do not lock while driving, which is terribly unsafe for driver and passengers. Also, because the dome light is connected to the door, the lights stay on draining battery. I've also had the door ajar sensor warning come on while driving down the road, when it was previously not on. There are also warnings "check fuel inlet", but there is nothing to check. The only problem is that the sensor has a problem! Which then in turn makes the engine light illuminate because it thinks there is a leak in the fuel inlet, or perhaps thinks that the seal isn't closed because ford decided the cap-less fuel inlet was a good idea. It's not!
Vehicle has begun to show driver door ajar at all times, even when slammed several times. This causes lights in cabin to remain on and drain battery when parked and even causes horn to begin to beep at all times during the day and night. Also causes doors to lock or unlock while driving or while parked and left unattended. Not secure for children to ride in car since locks are not reliable or to leave the car since you may return and vehicle has unlocked. This is very much a safety concern since it is impossible to back up or drive with the cabin lights on.
The false door ajar signal shows up when I start the car, and prevents to doors from locking. Dome light stays on, as well as lighting under both side mirrors which is causing battery drain. Sometimes you can clear the door ajar by opening it again and slamming it very hard. This is the second incident of this happening, and had it last fixed at the ford dealership in june of 2013.
Drivers side door sensor malfunctions. When door is closed it indicates that the door is still open and dome lights inside the vehicle remain on even when driving the vehicle.
Interior light would stay on with false door open signal on driver side, then same thing on passenger side. Under warranty at the time but had $100 deductible paid on each side. Now warranty is up and r/rear side door ajar light staying on. This has to be manufactured issue and recalled. 2011 edge with now 86000 miles. Help please!
I am having problems with driver door. The dash light appears saying door ajar and my dome light stays on, even though the door is shut. If I open and shut the door multiple times it sometimes goes out. This is a safety issue as my door does not lock in thus condition. This happens when stationary. If I can't get the door ajar light to go out and I drive down the road it stays on. I took my vehicle to the dealer and they gave me two options, try cleaning the latch assembly, which may or may not help or to replace the part. I have not done either at this point. It will be $150 to clean it or $300 to replace. I told them I needed time to make a decision. This was on april 15,2016.
Interior lighting stays on when in park or driving because of door switch malfunction saying door is ajar when it is in fact closed creates driving hazard when lights will not turn off and glaring off windshield making driving at night dangers please make a recall and fix this issue.
Door sensor, latch issues. Known problem with ford vehicles. Door ajar stays on which drains the battery hence the dome lights stay on. My ford edge will not lock, causing very dangerous circumstances when driving or stopped at a light in an area that is unsafe. Will not lock while parked, in drive (on highway or road) or with the ignition turned off. I was over my warranty by 1,000 miles and ford customer service refused to help me, told me to take it in and pay for the work and service call and submit a claim.
The drivers side door always says is ajar causing my fianc to drive around with the dome lights on. She already has trouble seeing at night and this is a disaster waiting to happen. The door is clearly closed. I noticed the door sensors are built into the latch so I looked up how hard it would be to change with the part o amazon and came across hundreds maybe even thousands of people all with the exact same problem. I don't understand how this isn't a recall with so many vehicles malfunctioning over many many years! Do the right thing! Lives are at stake! If you do right by your customers we will continue to buy your great products! But not at the cost of what could happen if this continues. I thank you for your time.

Driver door ajar switch malfunctioning. Consistently displaying "driver door ajar" when closed.

The door is shut but the alert comes on at a variety of intervals and when in motion the doors unlock and the lights overhead come in which can be dangerous in and distracting.

2011 ford edge purchased new. The door ajar indicator comes on when the door is closed. The interior lights stay on and will not go off when the door is closed. I have sprayed brake cleaning solution and also wd-40. This helps for a day or two. The problem has been reported to my ford dealer and nothing is done. The doors will not lock when the door ajar indicator light is on, and I worry about my families safety. Very frustrating , since I read online about this being a common problem with fords and the ford dealer is ignoring my concerns. It seems that profit is more important than the safety of ford customers. Very, very upset with apathy of ford.
The left rear door ajar light comes on and does not go off even when the door is shut. Also, the interior lights stay on for up to an hour after parking the car, and for 3-5 minutes after starting the car. This is extremely dangerous when driving at night. It has also killed a battery already.
