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.

Bought a 2012 ford edge with 28,000 miles door ajar light stayed on even when door was shut. Ford dealer said the latch just needed cleaning. The work order states ( customer states, door ajar light stays on all the time advise on needed repair- just purchase vehicle from us. Checked with ids and drivers front door ajar switch staying on all the time, found tsb #15-0013 for cleaning electronics with special tool for repair, performed tsb#15-0013, repair verified)now 3 months later same problem. Door ajar light stays on bell sounds and interior lights come on. This is a certified edge until march 2016. Glare from dome light distracting when driving at night. Ford needs to fix this problem now.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving at 5 MPH, the air condition system failed to blow cool air. In addition, the interiors lights would remain illuminated and cause the battery to drain. The contact stated that all the electrical functions failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the door sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 51,600.
Like the hundreds of other complaints, when door is properly closed, the "driver door ajar" alert comes on and beeps every time you accelerate from a stop, also causes interior light to stay on. I had not realized it was not allowing me to lock the door until I read all of the other complaints and tested it myself....sure enough, back door can be opened! I am now highly concerned about my 11 month old sitting in the back seat. Going to ford tomorrow to figure this out!
The panel shows driver door ajar all the time while driving the interior lights stay on after car has been locked for some time the lights go on even if the car has not been used for a while while the door ajar is on, the doors do not lock-safety issue, car in motion I tried getting the dealer I bought the car from to repair it, they stated that they could not because there was not recalls on my issues. But if I wanted it repaired it would cost me $350.00 to change the sensor that may be causing the problem. I believe the dealer sold me a lemon...the door ajar comes up as I close the left door as I put the car in motion;the doors do not lock while the car is in motion; interior lights is when the car is parked; the lights go on when the car is parked in the garage. The battery has died a couple of times as a result of this.
While getting in my car I realized after I shut the door at still says door ajar on dash. And now its getting worse it wont go off constantly stays on and will not allow you to lock doors.
Sometimes when I put the car into park, I get repeated warnings to "shift to park". If I don't jiggle the button on the shift knob, my seat and other electrical components will not respond. I have to start the truck a few times, put it through the gears (in drive and reverse), then I press the shift release button several times then the warning stops and my driver seat functions to allow me to get out of the car. This is a pain and the dealer said that if the problem couldn't be duplicated, then they cant do anything about it. I have had the truck in 2 times about this - the transmission shifts hard into gear after slowing or coasting and then accelerating. Almost feels like I have hit something when it happens. I'm very concerned, having two toddlers in the truck. I also took video of the parking, shifting into park issue. I just want it fixed....
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.
The door ajar sensor is not responding: (just like the other ford customers responding) this is a problem when you have small children. Safety issue that there door is unlocked as well. This keeps interior lights on, distracting at night, which could cause glare. I cant park my leave anything in my car when going anywhere because care is unable to lock. And the vehicle this car has 30000 miles on it. I live in areas where there is carjackings feeling very unsafe in my 2012 ford edge with 30000 miles on it. This is so rediculious that ford & the federal safety agency is looking into this with all the ford vehicles complaining about this. This is a safety issue in more ways than one> get stranded because door ajar causes battery to run down.
This has been an ongoing issue it started out every now and then. Now its constant this morning ran my battery down causing crazy things to go on with electrical. The dome light stays on so at night driving is bothersome, and the door locks will not work.
Driver door remains ajar no matter what we do. Interior lights stay on. Safety concern because one never knows if door is really closed properly or not! Interior lights can drain battery. Dealer repaired about 15 months ago. Same problem returned. Very expensive.
Unable to lock doors from within cabin due to door ajar sensor. Child easily opens door while driving. Had a stranger open my door and got in passenger seat thinking it was his mothers car, than goodness he did not have a gun. Lack of safety and security function.
The is closed and the door ajar warning is coming up and not leaving. I have to close the door 10+ times sometime to get the warning to go away. It leaves the light on and runs the battery.
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. The failure mileage was 48,700.
The driver's side "door ajar" light stays on even after door has shut and been slammed. The interior light stays on while slowly moving, eventually the inside light turns off but when you stop, the car starts dinging and reads "put vehicle in park" I believe this is a safety issue because when leaving a driveway or parking lot at night, you cannot see anything around you outside because of the interior light remaining on until you reach a speed of around 10-15 MPH. I'm worried that I may strike an object or person because of visibility issues.
Drivers door ajar light wont go off no matter what I do to it. Causing the dome light to stay on while driving and not being able to lock the doors at all. I contacted my local ford dealer and they told me to try cleaning it with some wd 40 and if that doesn't work to bring it in and they will run some tests on it which would cost me over 300 bucks and then they would go ahead and change the door latch which would cost me another 200 dollars or so and couldn't guarantee that the problem wouldn't come back. A lot of complaints about this same problem ford needs to step up to the plate and fix the problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. While in park, the doors failed to lock electronically from inside the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.
The door ajar warning stays on even when door is closed. At night, the interior lights stay on for 30 seconds- reducing visibility. When driving in slow traffic or after moving from a stop, vehicle beeps and says to shift into park, and then vanishes. Distracting and annoying! Mileage at 66k.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. The contact stated that the driver side door ajar warning light illuminated while the door was closed. The contact mentioned that the doors only locked manually. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 21,000.
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.

The contact mentioned that due to the failure the door was unable to be locked from the inside. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing.

The driver door ajar sensor light is faulty. The sensor light will not go off and therefor the doors do not lock and the dome light does not go off. Took my car to the dealership and as soon as I told him the problem he told me what kind of car I was driving. This tells me that I'm not the only one with this problem. I feel as though there should be a recall as there is some danger that the doors do not lock.
Door ajar and latch issue *door ajar signal stays on when door is close *interior lights stays on *inability to lock doors while in vehicle *faulty latch these safety issues are all one issue these are safety issues and are all one issue. The dome lights stays on and creates a night driving hazard. The dome lights stays on and creates a safety hazard when sitting in a public area at night. The false door ajar signal prevents the driver from recognizing a real door ajar situation very dangerous. The doors will not lock which is a major safety issue. The warning lights of parking comes up
Known problem with ford edge based on numerous complaints. Driver side door ajar sensor goes off crippling door lock mechanism. Not only do lights stay on draining battery but unable to lock door presents safety problem. Ford has a tsb for electrical cleaning but that is not effective over time. Problems repeats itself with only known fix to be door latch replacement.
Whenever I entry the vehicle and attempt to close the drivers door, the door ajar warning light comes on. If I don't continue to close the door (at least 4 times) the dome light stays on. The car tells me to put the car in park. When I lock it with the remote, it will beep twice instead of once, a warning that the car is not secure. I can no longer lock or unlock the drivers side by using my hand if the key is on my person. I can do that from the passenger side. My alarm goes off as my car is sitting in my drive way. I had the car diagnosed at the local ford dealer. It is a faulty driver door switch. Speaking with ford directly and the dealer, I am told that this is not covered because my car is no longer under warranty. This is occurring because the switch is faulty. When researching this problem, it appears to be an ongoing problem and a safety issue. I purchased this expensive ford new and have always had it serviced at the dealers. I don't understand why ford does not see this as a problem and active a recall. Thank you.
Door sensor does not allow door to lock. Dash indicates door is not closed and tells you to put vehical in park. Problem continues to come back. Dealer has had it 5 times. They will not replace sensor.... Just clean it. This is safety issue.
I was driving home from work and the driver information center displayed "driver door ajar" when the door was definatly shut and locked. After a few minutes this alarm went away and it returned a few days later on my way to the store. The frequency of this problem has been increasing and now my car alarm sounds off seemingly at will, mid-day or midnight because the computer thinks someone opened the door without the key. Last night it was going off at 4am. I am concerned that interelated safety equipment might not function because the computer thinks the door is open. This problem also prevents the auto-lock function from working, so someone could open my door at a redlight or in traffic. The repair bill for this problem is just over five hundred dollars. This is clearly an example of inferior parts costing the defenseless consumer money and ford motor co. Repeat customers. If you do an online search, you will see that this is a common problem.
