Page 7 of 8: complaints 161 to 190 of 195, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driven I had a message on my dash board that my driver side door was open. All the interior lights comes on . I checked and all doors were closed and secure. This malfuntion still up today and happen almost everyday during day an night time. During night is a safety issue becsuse you can not see clearly outside.
After closing door, the dome lights and door ajar indicator on instrument cluster would illuminate. I would have to slam the door several times to get the dome light and door ajar light indicator light to extinguish. The problem is worse in colder weather.
Driver door ajar warning persistently on. Cabin lights remain on. Multiple complaints on internet regarding this problem with ford vehicle.

2011 ford edge door ajar light and dome light stays on after shutting door. It ended up being the sensor in the front passenger door and front drivers door. The front drivers door sensor was replaced twice in 2013 and once in 2014. The passenger side door was replaced in 2014 and in january 2015. The door sensor issue started at 34,000 miles. We are currently at around 43,000 miles and the door sensors continue to be a major problem. Replacing the drivers side door sensor 3 times in 2 years and the passenger side door sensor in 2 years as well should not happen, especially only driving 9,000 miles in those 2 years. Something needs to be done about these door sensors that keep going out. Ford has said there is no problem, but there has to be after all these replacements.
Door ajar light stays on, even when the door is shut. Will not allow automatic door locks to latch. This is a danger to children in the back seat. Also, wears out the life of the battery. Interior light stay on for 3 min after driving, this makes it a hazard to see when driving.
-door ajar signal stays on when door is closed tightly. Never do I close the door and the door ajar signal goes away. It is always on. -as such, the interior light stays on the in car making it very unsafe and hard to see at night. -I have the inability to lock the doors while in the vehicle another very unsafe issue when in certain areas or at night. -the latch is faulty and I have seen hundreds of others online who have had this same problem with ford edges. Ford needs to have a recall on these faulty latches!
"passenger door ajar" warning light comes on intermittently along with interior dome light. Opening/closing door usually doesn't fix. Warning can come on even if door wasn't opened. Can occur when parked (first starting car) or driving. Can temporarily override issue by pressing ok button, but can/will happen again. Very annoying and is a hazard when driving (kinda startling/distracting) especially if it occurs at night (dome light impairs vision).

The drivers side door adjar sensor is malfunctioning even when the door is fully closed. When this malfunction occurs, the interior overhead light remains lit for 5-10 minutes and it cannot be disabled. This is especially problematic during night driving, because it makes it extremely difficult to see the road and surrounding environment while the light is on. The first time the problem occurred, ford cleaned the contacts and it fixed the error for 6 months and the repair was $148.50 when it appeared again, fords solution was to replace the entire assembly and the cost of this 2nd repair was $340.00. Not only have these been expensive repairs, it must be completed because it creates a dangerous driving experience and there is no way to deactivate the sensor. This is a flaw in the design and should be recalled.
The door ajar switch does not work. What this has done to the vehicle is the interior lights stay on in the car well after it has been turned off. The vehicle also will not turn the interior light off when running unless you are in drive and move forward. The danger is in reversing at night. The lights do not go out whatsoever in reverse and makes it very difficult to see at night when in reverse. We have almost hit a person, a car and a few poles with this lighting staying on. Not only does it pose a threat for a crash or hitting other vehicles it also kills the battery in the vehicle. This should not be an issue in a vehicle this new. Please do something about this the lighting that stays on will get someone hurt because the driver cannot see where they are reversing to inthe dark.
Driver door ajar light stays on constantly making the vehicle unable to lock doors automatically and manually. Also, interior lights stay on longer making night driving unsafe as well as risk for battery dying.
The door ajar warning light will not go off even if the door is closed, which makes the interior lights stay on while driving which is a hazard at night time, creates low visibility, hard to see the road. Also the doors lock and unlock sporadically because of the malfunctioning sensor. Several people I know with the same vehicle have had the same problem with theirs. Seems like ford is cashing in on the 600.00 repair to fix the malfunctioning light.... At the drivers expense, monetary expenses and safety expenses. Not ok.
The door sensor erroneously indicates door ajar. This prevents the door locks from actuating and allows children to accidentally open door when moving. Also the dome lights stay on at hours of darkness, impeding visibility.
The "door ajar" sensor has stopped working twice now (replaced at 32,000 miles and now not working again at 60,000). Side effects of this include having the dome light stay on, not being able to use the exterior keypad lock to lock the door (a security hazard for people who commonly use that feature) and excessive battery wear. Also, possibly the most severe hazard, the driver could get used to the warning, if not repaired, and not recognize when the door or another is *legitimately* ajar. Ignoring the warning could cause potentially devastating results.
Door ajar light stays on.
The passenger door ajar warning light comes on when the door is properly shut. This causes the interior lights to stay on until you begin driving the car. In one instance the light would not go off after parking the car, shutting all doors and locking the car. The light stayed on overnight and drained the battery. We have since pulled the fuse to eliminate the light problem. I have researched this problem on the internet and it appears to be happening to many people. This should be recalled and fixed by ford.
"driver door ajar" light will not go out when door is tightly closed. This keeps doors from auto-locking while ignition is on. Happened first time in june 2012, at 41k miles,4 mos after I bought certified used car. Door latch was replaced by dealer under warranty. It has been happening again now at 85k miles, august 2014. Also dome lights will not go out. Battery ran down last nite, could not start car this morning even tho dome lights went out at some point. I was in north ga mtns where there is no cell reception. Fortunately there was still one car at the site who could jump the battery or I would have been stranded there. I am a retired 69 yr old woman; it is not safe for me to drive without doors locked or for the battery to die when there is no reason for that to happen. There are many many reports of this problem on ford edge internet sites. Why hasn't there been a recall by ford? Are they waiting for someone to get hurt/killed? When I go to the dealership tomorrow, I anticipate a $400 repair estimate. I hope there is a better result than that.
First door ajar warning would come on,when you closed door it would go away.now it just stay on, the lights say on and the bells chimes. I see theirs a lot of complaints on the internet. Please help!!! This is not in my budget!! Thanks
When all doors are closed, the door ajar lamp will illuminate.
Driver's door ajar sensor was intermittent then went completely out. Interior light stays on draining battery when parked. Safety concern with door false alert masking actual door not shut condition. Additional safety concern with night driving and forced interior light reducing visibility and risk to pedestrians. Ford service will only lubricate sensor at customers expense to satisfy tsb-14-0011 causing no confidence in repair and possible re-occurrence of safety issue. This should be a recall and replacement of the faulty sensing unit and/or door latch assembly.
Having an issue with the drivers door sensor. Door sensor still shows the door to be ajar even after several attempts to close. Sensor picks up that the door is closed about 1/3rd to 1/2 the time you attempt to close. Sensor not functioning properly will allow a warning light in the dashboard to stay on until recognized. The main problem is it keeps the dome light illuminated until you continue to close and the sensor picks up. I have an issue with the sensor coming on and showing ajar while driving. With the dome light coming on, I'm not to happy about not being able to drive at night. Found through chat rooms and forums that several other complaints pertaining to this issue, with no fix from ford. Ford dealer service reps have known it is a problem, but just say to call ford to see if the problem can be covered. Ford district rep., when told of the problem was asked why there is not a recall for this issue. I was told that ford does not issue the recall, it needs to come from the federal safety agency. So hopefully by having to file a complaint to receive some action will show more numbers as to this faulty safety sensor. The other issue would be if the part replaced is going to be the same part number that people are having trouble with. I would be just waiting a few more years for the same issue to arise. Or have they changed the part to rectify the problem. That remains to be seen as I have no alternative but to have the part replaced at $394.00. Although I am 6000 miles under warranty, I am 2 1/2 months past the 3 years.
Door ajar indicator stays on for driver side door which will not lock. Doors cannot be locked while driving, interior lights stay on because of door ajar indicator which in turn drains battery. Unsafe for doors not being able to be locked and lights continue to illuminate while vehicle is off and parked.
Driver door ajar warning constantly on. Requires you to slam the door sometimes up to ten or more times before the car will finally recognize the door is closed. Interior lights will remain on which I am afraid will lead to a dead battery.
Driving the blue ridge parkway in nc we entered the first of several tunnels along that route. Headlight switch was in auto-on position as it is always. The headlights did not come on as we entered the tunnel as they do at nightfall. I hit the brakes before either running in to the wall on the right or (worse) crossing over in to the opposite lane. Almost caused a rear end collision as there was a group of harley davidson's behind us. I fumbled with the light switch to turn on, not knowing exactly which way to turn it (as we don't use it since it is in the auto-on position all the time) last time I trust this. We will just turn them on ourselves. Did try to allow the auto-on to work on next two tunnels but it did not. Very dangerous ford. Why? Panic mode, and I'm sure the harley riders were not very happy either.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. The contact stated that while attempting to lock the doors, the door locks failed to stay lock and unlocked without manual force. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 49,000. Updated 11/12/13*cn the consumer stated the driver ajar light stayed on constantly. Therefore, the doors would not lock. Also, the interior lights remained on after the vehicle was turned off. Updated 11/19/13
I own a 2011 ford edge with the myford touch option. On july 22, 2013, I experienced an event that could have had fatal consequences. While traveling on the blue ridge parkway in north carolina, I entered the first of several mountain tunnels. When I entered the tunnel, I expected the headlamps to turn on automatically. They did not. Assuming the lights were actually on, I lowered my sun glasses thinking the tint had reduced my vision. That is when I realized the lights had not come on. For a second I was confused. Traveling at about 45 MPH, my first thoughts were of the light switch location which I'd never used and was not familiar with. I immediately pushed down on the dimmer switch. Wrong way! I then pulled the dimmer switch handle, and the lights came on. I had entered the tunnel moving on a curved path and had fortunately held the steering wheel steady as I reacted. When I finally got the lights turned on, the car was still pretty much in lane, so no danger was apparent. I had traveled some distance though. Entering the next 4-5 tunnels, I waited until the last possible moment to manually turn on the lights, cycling the switch from automatic to "on" and then back to automatic as the tunnel was exited. The automatic feature never responded. Later that evening after dark, I cranked the engine, and the lights did turn on. The lights have continued to work since then, except I've not had an opportunity to check the automatic feature in a daylight tunnel-like situation. If the car had wrecked at first occurrence with fatality, no one would have figured out the cause, and the investigating officer would probably have written up the report as carelessness on the part of the driver. I do not know if this is a chronic problem with the ford, but it should be addressed by the manufacturer, possibly making the light switch redundant.
