The driver side door keep saying ajar even when the door is closed. The doom light won't go out and it kills the battery. I checked on youtube and others been having the same problem with this issue. There should be something that ford can do to correct the problem. 2012 ford door latch replacement part to fix this problem.
When I am driving to work at 5:00 am down the interstate my interior lights will just come on. My edge has interior lights that won't go off door ajar is on the dashboard. Late at night when my car is not in motion and my lights just turn on my home security system has recorded it several times and the car has sat off for many hours. My door ajar light is always on. For safety reasons this should be addressed by the ford company.
Driver door ajar warning comes on, leaving interior lights on running battery down.
When we bought the car, the door sensor was malfunctioning, it would stated that the door is open when it was in fact not, when taking your foot off the break a warning comes on to tell you to "place the car in park", the dealership "fixed it" just over a year later the door sensor began to go off even when the door was shut and locked properly. On further research on how to fix the problem permanently I found this is a huge problem people are having with this model of ford. Please send a recall so it can be addressed.
The driver door light stays on door ajar
The rear left door "door ajar" indicator would show that the door was open, even when slammed shut. At first I had to slam the door harder, but after a while even that didn't work. When that didn't work, it became an issue because my interior lights wouldn't go off after leaving the car. I had to break the part to get my lights to go off so I didn't drain my battery overnight.
Door ajar sensor keeps going off, drains battery, leaves me stranded - huge issue for a family!
My wife was driving to work after dropping our 2 year old off at grandmas. She went to slow for a stale green light and the brake pedal went to the floor. Luckily she was almost to work at this point. We had the vehicle towed to my shop. Replace the brake booster because it has a known issue ( no recall just warranty extension), also replaced the master cylinder because this was clearly a hydraulic failure in the brake system. Driving the vehicle home that night with a good pedal until I get to the off ramp, at 70 miles an hour there is no longer any brake pedal and had to use the transmission to safely slow the vehicle. Now my wife is terrified to drive her vehicle in fear that the pedal is there one minute and gone the next.
Vehicle displays a warning "vehicle coolant over temperature" the vehicle had been inspected twice and the technicians claimed not to have been able reproduce the error and also claimed that the computer was not "spitting" out any errors. The message displays within the first file miles after the car has been stationary for more than 2 hours and it is displayed for 10-20 seconds.
The door ajar sensor is always on. When I start driving the lights are on until I move a few feet. I am not able to lock my doors or use my remote start. It has killed my battery. When my car is parked and turned off the lights will come on and off randomly.
Filed door ajar complaint with nhts september 24, 2014 #10638797. Had problem repaired march 15, 2015. Cost $245.93. Same issue occuring again. This time the door ajar warning will not go off unless the car is in gear and we open the door and close it. Not safe to be traveling and opening and closing a door to get door ajar warning to turn off.
Driver's side door sensor. Vehicle warning light days driver's door is open when it is actually closed. Problem prevents auto door locks to engage and keeps interior lights on when door is locked and ignition is off causing battery drain.
Brake booster went out, door ajar keeps coming and leaves my interior lights on draing battery
Door ajar issue. Door is latched properly, but the sensor is faulty.
Left rear passenger door is ajar. Drivers door is ajar. Lights won't go off because the sensors say the doors are open. I believe they are shut. This has killed my battery. It happens frequently causing stress not knowing if my car is going to start in the morning
Door ajar notification stays on when door is closed, running, and while driving. This causes the lighting to remain on thus draining the battery.
Door ajar light stays on even when their doors are certainly closed.
Door ajar sensor is failing. Door ajar message stays on with door closed (driver's) making driving very difficult with constant warning beeps and dome light on (even at night). I have to open and shut the door multiple times very hard for it to go away. Many many people have had this issue, and apparently it progressively gets worse until they have constant beeping warning, dome light on while driving at night, doors that won't lock while driving and the constant risk of a dead battery after returning to their parked vehicle. I've already had to buy a new battery due to the dome light staying on after parking. This is very dangerous and deserves a recall. The current fix apparently requires replacing the entire latch for around $400, every two years on average. This is ridiculous.
When you start your car. A message comes on that doors are not closed. It happens randomly every time you drive the car. You can open and shut your doors. All the time. The car also randomly honks the horn and the lights all flash. We have changed the batteries in the remotes and it still happens. This has been going on for while.
Malfunctioning door ajar sensor stays remains when door is securely closed. Can drain the battery. Had the sensor in driver's door replace while under manufacturer's warranty. The replacement sensor is now malfunctioning and the vehicle is out of warranty.
The driver's side door ajar is constantly on. I have opened and shut the door multiple times and even tried to do what some youtube videos have shown. Dome light sometimes stays on after I park, sometimes goes off. I will have a dead battery and probably additional costs unless I want to pay $400+ to ford to fix this known issue.
The driver door and rear driver door "door ajar" notification's do not turn off, even when the doors are closed. This causes the dome lights to stay on which drains the battery, and then the vehicle will not start later. This also prevents the doors from locking while driving. This is an ongoing issue and can not seem to be resolved, even after a mechanic cleaned and lubricated the door latches.
The passenger rear left door open indicator will not go off thus keeping my dome light on and draining my battery not to mention doors will not lock automatically.
The door sensor will not go off even though the door is completely shut. I have a 2012 ford edge. Keeps saying door ajar when it is closed.
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.
There has been a service bulletin issued for a 'door ajar' warning when the car is started caused by the failure of the drivers door latch. This does not go out when the car is turned off. This results in the dome light staying on and draining the battery. Not repairing could result in the inability to lock the vehicle electronically. The failure usually occurs after 50k miles, leaving the owner to pay for a common and expensive part failure. I
The vehicle reports the driver side door is ajar when it is securely closed. This occurs when the car is stationary and in motion. It also occurs when the vehicle is not yet started. This results in audio and visual alarms while the car is running, and interior lighting which remains on for long periods when the car is turned off.
Door latch sensor malfunctioning. The door will not shut off the door ajar warning when the door is closed. Two doors have already been repaired through our local ford dealership, both driver side doors, and now the passenger side door is beginning to do the same thing.
After researching ford edge research there were so many complaints of people having the same thing occur to them. My car will start and be driving then all of a sudden the car literally looses all power and the car shuts down. This has happened to me twice and it appears that ford doesn't want to issue a recall on this. People's lives are in danger, there is no warning of when this will happen and then you stuck sitting on the road while in drive as your car lost power.
