Driver side door ajar sensor is dysfunctional
All doors leaking at the door seal retainers and will not be able to repair due to poor designed flaw! All ford cars having water conditions and still allowed to sell this defective cars ! I am a master mechanic and diagnosed it my self ! This is strictly a ford quality issue for all ford edges of all years and most likely all there cars have a water issue . And it is my experience that car dealers know about it and due not issue a repair because of cost! It is a sad day for american products . Forum cars built better that this! By my experience
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. While the vehicle was parked and unoccupied with the engine running, the door ajar warning indicator illuminated. The contact also stated that the door ajar chime was audible and the advance trac warning indicator illuminated. The dealer (hixson ford of monroe, 6300 frontage rd, monroe, la 71202, (318) 388-3300) was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 84,500.
Door latch failure. Initially the door will intermittently not close while parked (would rebound open when pushed shut). Now while driving the door will unlatch and fully open while the vehicle is in motion. First it happened when turning a corner from a stopped position. Second time it happened while driving straight on a city street at approx 30 MPH.
I was on the freeway with the panoramic vista screen half open, when the plastic clips broke(parts that move the screen open/close) the vista screen slammed back as far as it could go, for a second I thought the entire glass had broken and I was in for a world of hurt! This could cause an extreme safety risk if the glass had shattered.
Door latch failure, causing door ajar warning to stay on and battery to drain. I have had to replace battery because of it. I have left shoulder and arm pain from opening and closing it repeatedly, until the latch closes and sends signal to control panel that the door is closed. I have safety concerns because I work at night and don't want a stalled vehicle or no lights in my car when I return to it. Also is concerns for safety of passengers and children in car with me. I was told there was a recall on latches on other ford vehicles, why not thie ford edge too? I'm seriously considering trading my vehicle if not fixed. This is my first ford and maybe my last one if it isn't fixed soon!
Door latch mechanism... Door ajar light constantly on
My driver side door ajar light would stay on after closing my door, whether parked or in motion. I would have to close it 5-10, sometimes more times, to get the light to go off. Even if I slammed the door sometimes the light still wouldn't go off, and the warning signal would chime as I drove. I bought the car used from a honda dealer, and the salesman told me it was likely just a sensor issue, so I ignored it for a month or so before taking it in to a ford dealership when I thought I could afford to have it repaired. They did diagnostics on it and told me it wasn't just the sensor, that the door was actually open because the latch wasn't closing properly. They told me if I got in a wreck my door could fly open, so I let them repair it. They replaced the entire lock assembly on the driver side. I have attached my invoice for record of the repairs made and the cost.
"driver door ajar" warning message illuminates with door securely closed.
The drivers side "door ajar" warning light, remains lit when door is closed. It prevents the doors from locking. Also, the interior lights stay on. Vehicle is stationary.
Door ajar light keeps flashing while driving even though door is shut. Doors will not lock because the car thinks the door is open. Overhead lights stay on while driving and while car is parked. Can make the car ideal for theft and unsafe while driving down the road because the doors won't lock.
Door ajar , car has been to dealership 5 times for rear door ajar problems, light on in dash and all inside lights on . All they can say is it needs new door ajar latch , very unsafe as I have to drive car till lights turn off inside car , I can not let my kids ride in back seat as its telling me the door is ajar .
Door ajar warning light stays on constantly, must slam driver door multiple (17+) times to get the light to go out. Once light finally goes out, I hear a click and the light goes back on again. Worried the latch is not locking properly. This happens whether vehicle is running or not.
Door ajar light stays on. Door will not lock. Inside light stays on,
Door latch won't close. Shows that door is ajar and the lights on inside won't go off because the door looks as if it's open. It happens each time the drivers side door is opened. This has been happening for a few years. In 2014, I thought ford had fixed the issue and I found out today that they only cleaned it. Having to pay $588 for a new door latch isn't good especially when there was a recall for several ford vehicles regarding this issue.
Door ajar sensor is continuously coming on when door is closed,interior lights coming on and night, blinding driver. Light comes on while driving.
Rear driver side door ajar light will not turn off, have drained 2 car batteries, the alarm goes off at random and the interior dome light stays on. Had to pull cabin lighting fuse to stop battery from draining. The indication is constantly on there is no way to tell in door is actually ajar or not.
Door ajar sensor failed and says doors are open when they are latched. You are not able to lock the doors when driving with this alarm.
Drivers door will not lock, icon on dash says "drivers door adjar"' when the vehicle is in motion. When stopped, even momentarily the "shift to park" logo appears, and a chime sounds. Unable to lock the vehicle when parked as the factory alarm starts sounding depending on the outside temperature.
Ford edge left rear door latch failing. The latch sensor randomly faults and it's unclear if the door is properly latched or not. The alarm will sound randomly as the sensor fails while the car is locked. This could cause a situation where the door is not properly closed but the sensor says it is. Passengers in the car could be ejected. Latch faults when stationary or in motion.
Drivers side door latch which has sensor, built in, to notify computer the door is closed works only intermitenly. Repaired under warranty, then lubercated and adjusted after 36,000 mile warranty expired. Each repair only lasted a few months. Still having problem. Shows door ajar at almost every stop with annoying and distracting alarm ding. Leaves message on insturement panel, blocking other vital readings and possible alerts until acknowledged(temp guage, ect.). Leaves interior lights on causing battery drain and being stranded by dead battery. Will not lock or unlock with key pad. This happens daily. First repair back in 2014.
The driver's side door latch is broken, so the door ajar indicator light stays on, the lights stay on, and it's generally unsafe to have the door not secured while driving.
Door ajar sensors/light doesn't indicate when doors are closed, and will come on for no reason when vehicle is driving. This causes the interior lights to illuminate and doors unlock/unable to lock. Very dangerous at night or when I drive with children in the car.
Driver door ajar light remains on at all times, not sure if door is closed all of the way or not, dome lights remain on as well. This happens while parked whether keys are in the ignition or not and also while driving.
The drivers' door latch is not working properly. The door ajar alarm is displayed on the dashboard -and the interior lights will not turn off. It has caused a drained battery and decreased visibility at night -due to glare from interior lights on windshield. I am also not sure if the door is actually properly latched-and if it will open while in motion. I talked to my dealer and was told it would cost $400+ to replace the latch..which I do not think it just -when the car is so new.
My driver side door latch is defective. The sensor is showing that the door is open when the door is actually closed. This causes my interior lights to remain on and it eventually drains my battery.
Something has happened to the passenger door/door latch. When fully closed, a message appears on the instrument cluster stating "passenger door ajar". Now, when the vehicle is in motion, the doors cannot be locked. If you try to lock them, they unlock automatically. Dealer won't fix as it is out of warranty.
Door ajar warning comes on when door is closed. Doors won't lock, lights stay on. The door doesn't seem to be open, but I am concerned that it might open while driving. The doors not locking and lights remaining on are safety concerns when I am driving. This started happening a few months ago, and continues to occur every few days.
Rear left door ajar open alarm don't does even when the door is closed. It randomly works and cause centre lock not locked automatically! Please help me to keep my kids save. Thanks
