My drive side door does not sense it is closed and the light stays on and the dome lights stay on longer. Periodically because the switch is saying the door is open, the dome light, headlights and rear lights will go on when nobody is in the car.

The drivers side door ajar light/warning appears even though the door is fully closed. This prevents all doors from locking. There are times when the warning is not on but after a passenger closes the passenger side door the drivers side door ajar warning turns ons. I have had this issue serviced once by ford but it is not happening again. Ford issues a service bulletin but that appears to be only a stop gap measure since the problem recurs.
The "door ajar" sensor is making a false reading that constantly says the driver side door is open when in fact it is not. Due to the car "thinking" the door is open, you can not lock the doors while driving. A child falling out of an unlocked door or a car jacking because of this issue is a huge safety concern. A simple google search for this issue will show that this is a very common problem with many ford vehicles. To have the sensor repaired cost anywhere from $250 to $400 which is most likely why ford continues to let people drive these unsafe vehicles.
The door ajar warning keeps on lighting up. We have to open and close the drivers door up to 20 times and sometimes the warning goes off and sometimes it does not. It is very annoying because if it doesn't turn off there is a beeping sound going on while you are driving asking you to pull aside and close the door again. It also affects while you are driving at night because the interior lights wont turn off and it makes it difficult to see where you are driving, specially if it's on reverse, or when you get out of the vehicle and put the alarm on, the interior lights keep on and am afraid it will affect my battery in the long run. We took it to service at the dealer but there is no recall yet and it costs around $418 to fix. I think it's a manufacture thing and ford should be responsible for this fix.
The door ajar warning indicates the door is open when the door is actually closed tight. If you slam the door hard, the warning clears sometimes but may come back on without the door being opened. This is a poor alarm system design. Ford should take responsibility for the design and issue a recall. The original latch was replaced under warranty at about 30k miles.
The indicator light for the driver's side door being ajar will not go off. The door is most definitely not open, yet the indicator does not register the door as being closed no matter what we do.
The dreaded "door ajar" problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. While the driver side door was completely closed, the door ajar indicator illuminated and the chime sounded. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,500.
The driver door light will not go out have to slam door multiple times. Had to go get a replacement door part.
Vehicle states "door ajar with all doors properly closed. Complaint is ongoing. Here is the issue. The interior lights are on and remain on until vehicle is going over 5mph in a forward gear. You totally lose visibility to back up. You cannot see anything to back up. It is difficult to seeing going forward to attain 5+ MPH to turn off the interior lights. The problem is minimally annoying during daytime hours and is extremely dangerous at night. You are forced to back up totally blind. It is dangerous you could back over a pedestrian, a fixed object, or another car. Ford took a reliable and simple process and created a difficult (and expensive) unreliable process and it is failing on several cars.
I have been having intermittent issues with the sensor not reading that my driver side door is latched. Today, it is constant and will not even allow me to lock the doors! I have tried several times to get it to "latch" and clearly the door is closed, but the "door ajar" warning is still illuminated.

The driver door latch signals that the driver door is ajar when it is not. This prevents the door from locking and also affects the instrument panel display and interior lighting as well as the alarm system.
2012 ford edge door ajar alarm safety issue.
Driver door ajar warning comes on and will not go off due to defective door latch switch. Dealer repaired switch but did not replace it like I had wanted. Problem is solved for now but I'm sure it will come back. This needs to be a recall.

Driver door ajar warning continually comes on at random times, or sometimes not at all. After awhile it was coming on all time and the dinging bell was driving me crazy. Had it fixed at the dealer, at my expense of course.
When closing drivers door on the dashbord shows drivers door ajar, when drivers door is closed to amend this problem you have to slam the door using force.
I recently purchased a 2012 ford edge. In nov. 2013 a warning started showing on the dash every time I close the door (either driver side doors or passenger side doors) that says door ajar. No matter how many times I close the door it still says it. If I ignore it and drive down the road another warning pops up that says shift into park. When these warnings are on the interior lights stay on as well. Which could leave to a dead battery . These warnings going off every few minutes is very aggravating and for me a little scary as well especially when u r driving down the road and it says warning shift into park.... Is there any kind of recall for this problem or anything that can be done to fix this? I thought it would stop but after having the vehicle for 9 months it is still doing it. I have my grandbabies in the vehicle with me alot and to me whenever there is any kind of warning showing up that is a problem and could lead to something serious and should be taken care of by ford.
The alert for 'driver door ajar' comes on and will not turn off, regardless of how many times and/or how hard/soft the door is closed. This causes the interior lights to stay on after the car is turned off. I am now driving around, ignoring the alert, which is dangerous because I could potentially be driving with a door that is not latched properly, which could result in a serious injury. Thank god it is not the door that my son uses. I am hearing from every ford owner I've spoken to and all over the internet that this seems to be a problem in the majority of fords, so I think someone needs to look into a recall on this. Thank you.
The driver door ajar light stays on even though the door is clearly closed. As a result, the doors will not lock.
Drivers side "door ajar warning" comes on very often and won't go off. Doesn't always come on immediately, but while on, won't allow doors to lock while driving. Very dangerous situation. When it comes on, not always in a position to stop immediately and put in park to reset . Must stop and repeat closing until it takes. Again very dangerous. Lastly, when exiting the auto if the sensor fails then the lights stay on an extended period, running the battery down. Not allowing the doors to lock and alarm to set.
Driver door ajar warning light started coming on - and staying on - even after door appeared to be shut properly and securely. The door latch had to be replaced at a cost to me of $613.93.
