The driver door sensor states the door is ajar, although it is closed, registers open. The latch is defective.the door ajar warning sounds on the dash board, dome lights stay on and doors do not lock. Door has to be opened and slammed closed many times for the warning to go off, but only temporarily. Hard to lock car, dome light stays on. Happens while driving, in park, basically anytime the car is on. Had the issue fixed at a dealership - had to pay $494.00!! I see this is an issue with many ford edge owners - ford needs to get this fixed and recall - unsafe!!!
The door sensor says the driver's door is open when it is not and stays on. This does not allow the door locks to close and is unsafe. The interior lights also go on and stay on for a period of time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. When the contact started the vehicle, the driver side door ajar warning light illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed, but not repaired. The failure continued to occur intermittently. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Driver's door sensor is faulty. The vehicle's instrument panel will indicate that the door is ajar when it is firmly closed. This alert often appears while the vehicle is in motion. When I exit the vehicle and the problem occurs, this will prevent the interior lights from going out and it will prevent the security system from arming. This problem is distracting while driving due to the alerts and the interior lighting, especially at night. The issue has also resulted in theft from my vehicle. When the vehicle is off, the dome lights do not go off as the sensor indicates the door is open. While parked outside my house, my vehicle was broken into without the alarm sounding, resulting in theft of personal items including checks, cash, and electronics. The vehicle's battery has also drained overnight to the point of needing a jump start.

2012 ford edge began having a "door ajar" error. When this happens, you are unable to lock the doors with the keypad. Not being able to lock the vehicle is a major issue. This problem is caused by the failure of a micro switch assembled in the latch mechanism. When this switch fails, the signal to tell the car the door is closed is not sent.
Typical "door is ajar" error message. Upon closing the door, the error message "door is ajar" pops up and the dome lights stay on with the chimes ringing. I also have a problem with the error message "shift to park". I believe these could be related. Ford dealer replaced the switch assembly but this didn't solve my problem. This needs recalled as thousands are experiencing this saftey issue with this vehicle!
Driver side door sensor is faulty and says my door is open while it is closed and keep dome light on and doesn't lock door when closed and use the keypad outside.
The drivers door ajar light goes on after the door is correctly closed. This problem has gotten worse over the course of a couple of weeks. The light now stays on continuously and when the car slows to a stop a yellow panel light tells the driver to put the car in park. This is very dangerous and must be corrected as soon as possible!
My 2012 ford edge has driver door ajar indicator, closing the door repeatedly does not correct the problem. The car keeps telling me to shift to park. The door switch is a module inside the door.
Drivers door ajar repeatedly comes on, dome light illuminates, message to put in park shows. Called ford motor co. Who reports no recall!! This is a safety issue as it prohibits door locking, turns on interior light during night driving. Ford advised that they didn't know if this would be covered by my extended warranty. How can that be? All they could do was give me a case number if it ever turns into a recall. Even if out of warranty, this should be considered a latent manufacture safety defect! Leaves me wondering how many owners need to report much less be injured before ford takes care of it. I would advise all who have experienced this to report to ford customer service.
Receiving "driver door ajar" warning while driving, even though the door is secure. At one point I would lock the doors and as I drove the warning would sound and the locks would pop open. The door latch was replaced once before in 2012 by the dealer while still under warranty. Now the dealer wants to charge me several hundred dollars to replace it again.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. After starting the vehicle, the front driver side door ajar sensor illuminated erroneously, indicating that the door was not closed. When the failure occurred, the interior dome light would remain illuminated for an extended period. While operating the vehicle, an audible alarm would activate and a warning message to park the vehicle would display. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired.

Have had the same issues with both the driver door and rear passenger (drivers side) latch or sensor improperly working. Both door latches and or sensors malfunctions make the door ajar light in the instrument panel stay lit, and makes the overhead lights stay on. The interior light staying on makes it difficult to drive at night and also drains the battery.
The door ajar does not shut off.no matter how I close the door.at all stop signs red lights it continues to tell me to shift to park because of "door ajar".the interior dome light will not shut off because of the "door ajar".I cant see out my rear view mirror because of the interior dome light.im afraid to drive the car I never know if im going to fall out while driving due to "door ajar".I brought it in to ford for repair later found out they just "cleaned the wiring".9 months later problem is back and even worse. Something needs to be done about this.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. While backing out of a parking lot, the front driver side door ajar warning light illuminated even when the door was securely closed.

[xxx] without injury or change by us to the car, the "door ajar" warning began showing up in the instrument panel. The door is securely closed. The warning is on the panel, the warning beep is sounding, and the interior light remains on until you drive forward about 30 feet. This makes backing out of parking spaces, driveways, etc difficult because there is no way to see where you are going because of the bright light. Lubricating the door latch assembly does nothing to help.
