A vehicle in front of me slowed down and when I went to take my foot of the gas my tennis shoe got caught on the plastic trim on the engine compartment next to the gas pedal.. I had to pull hard to get my foot off the gas. I brought the vehicle to the ford dealer and was told that all the edges had the trim and they did not seem concerned. It only happens when my leg was resting on the side of the engine compartment while holding down the gas pedal. It happened several times while driving on the illinois freeway. The car in front of me slowed down and by the time I got my foot off the gas pedal I had to apply the brakes quickly and the vehicle behind me almost hit me. I think ford should be required to modify the trim in that area.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.
Vehicle door is closed but warning reads door ajar. Doors will not lock because the door is ajar but it's not. Inside stayed on for about 2 min while driving. Sometimes I get I'm and there are no problems then the doors will unlock and the door ajar shift to park pops on. Or I could be driving with the door ajar warning on but doors are closed then the doors lock and warning goes away. I thought it was the sensor but the door closes but does not latch.

Drivers side door has a door ajar alarm when door is closed tightly . Lights stay on and doors do not lock.
Door ajar light stays on even when door is closed the interior dome lights will not go off.
When the driver's door is closed the door ajar sensor remains on although the door is definitely closed. The door has to be slammed shut anywhere from 3-7 times before the door ajar sensor shuts off. At times it shuts off and while driving it comes back on. If the sensor remains on the doors will not automatically lock.

Bought my car in february of 2014. (we were the 2nd owners. Not sure if previous owners experienced trouble before they traded the car in.) almost immediately we started having issues with "door ajar" lights staying on which caused the interior lights to stay on while driving down the road. It also doesn't allow the doors to lock themselves automatically when driving. We had sensors replaced by ford on both front doors after a lot of back and forth with them last year. Now we are having trouble with a sensor on one of the back doors that's causing all the same problems as last time only this time we are also having trouble with interior lights coming on and going off on their own while the car is sitting parked. Nobody likes a dead battery. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Right now this is a warranty issue for me but will eventually cost around $500 a pop to fix and more importantly it poses a safety issue for the children riding in my car if their door doesn't latch properly & I don't know it because I assume it's just the sensor acting up again. Please help get this sensor recalled. Ford has no intention of doing it.
Driver's door is shut tightly, but "driver door ajar" light keeps coming up intermittently. Also, dome lights stay on and warning sounds. Started off occasionally doing this, now is doing practically every time you go to start the engine.
The driver door latch is getting replaced as it tells us that the door is open when it is not. I have been told by the dealership that they have seen this happen in a lot of ford edge's. It is costing me $350.00 and I would like my money back from ford. I don't believe that a 2013 should be having those kind of issues and ford should fix the issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, all of the interior lights were on and the driver door ajar warning indicator illuminated. The contact opened and closed the driver side door several times; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the lights remained on and the door chime remained on while driving. The failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the driver side door latch was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000.
The door latch on the 2013 ford edge is faulty, and continually has to be replaced. This is the second time in 6 months we have had to have this replaced, and this time, we are 3000 miles over our warranty, and are having to go out of pocket for this - an expense of over $300. Additionally, because the door latch doesn't work correctly, it continually causes the interior lights of the cart to stay on, which has caused the battery to deplete, and we are now facing the charge for a new battery as well in order to get our vehicle in working order. Lastly, ford informed us today that the factory battery that they installed is "too small" for this size vehicle, and a larger capacity battery should be put in its place. We purchased this car new, and issues like this make us feel as if we've purchased a lemon. Ford is now charging us for a part that is clearly poorly manufactured, and as a consequence, causing us to buy additional parts like batteries to support their mistakes.
Driver side door indicator stays on even though door is shut. Dome light won't go off and doors won't lock. Battery went dead. I have to slam door hard several times to get indicator and light to turn off and doors to lock.
The driver door ajar sensor is always on even when I close the door. The drive door ajar sensor never goes off. It causes the lights to come on while I am driving, it will not let me lock the doors while I am inside the car as well as the lights stay on for over 5 minutes when I try to lock the car after I get out. This is draining my battery.
Drivers door latch faulty. Causes "door ajar" and "shift to park" warning lights even though door completely shut. Ignoring the warning light is dangerous. Under warranty ford's procedure is still to only clean the contacts and not replace the unit. This fault occurred again after they cleaned.
My door sensor on my driver's side continues to alert me that it's open, when it isn't. This causes my dome light to stay on and all my doors not to lock. I have to slam my door hard multiple times to get it to go off, or just drive with it on.
Door ajar warning (on screen as well as repeated bell noise) came on while I was on a 2 lane road with no shoulders available due to snow alongside road. I was forced to stop in middle of road to open and close door repeatedly to turn off door ajar. It felt like door was closed but sensor kept indicating it was open. Problem abated for a few days but has come back now.
Driver side door symbol will appear on dash board was well as doom lights will stay on, will have to shut door a couple of times or turn the car back on to reset. This now getting to the point that the car cannot be locked or the doom interior lights will stay on and drain the battery.
The passenger side door ajar light stays on and the interior lights even when the door is shut. I have to slam the door hard 4-5 times to get it to go off. While driving down the road the light will come on and the alert to "shift to park". I took it to a ford dealer who charged me $80 to say there was nothing wrong. I came home, knowing this wasn't right and found numerous complaints online about the same issue. Ford needs to place a recall on this.
The system is showing a "door ajar" alarm, drivers front door. Initially I thought it was just because I did not close the door enough so I just opened it, and pulled a little harder and the alarm went away. I drove the car for a few days and one morning when it was frosty I closed the door and the "door ajar" alarm posted again. I opened the door and closed it several times and the alarm went away. From this I thought the striker needed to be adjusted, I thought, "how is it possible that the door switch could have failed on a vehicle that is only 1.5 years old?". I drove the car for a few more days and at this point the alarm was posting about 50% of the time. Around the beginning of december the alarm began posting all the time. Now, it posts nearly 95% of the time with only a few times where it does not. The issue with this alarm is twofold: 1) it keeps the dome lights on because the system does not see that the door is closed when you get out of the car and lock it, thus the timer must time out (around 20 minutes) and the lights turn off. 2) this prevents the doors from being locked while driving. The last one is the one that I have a problem with because this, to me, is a safety concern.
Drivers door reading door ajar when the door is not ajar. Opened and closed multiple times and sensor will still not read that door is closed sometimes. Can be driving down the road when door is obviously closed and sensor will start alarming and dome light comes on.
When close door it says door ajar and door ajar comes on and dome light stays on. This happens about 60 percent of the time.
The driver side door sensor will not recognize the door is shut. This is causing the interior lights to remain on during the night time and the doors cannot lock. My child is able to open the door while moving causing a major safety issue. Ford is aware of the problem when we took it in and knows this is a defect, but will not address the issue. The require us to pay 300-500 dollars to fix. Please make them recall this for the safety of the children in the back seat. I will be contacting my lawyer to see what further steps we can take.
Drive door latch - door ajar signal will not clear - door locks will not operate properly.
Driver door ajar sensor does not recognize that door is closed. This prevents all doors from being in the locked position while operating the vehicle. Manually locking the doors is overridden by the system and automatically unlocked. Annoying alarm always going off while driving or idle. Not known if sensor malfunction or door not actually closed properly. Should be recalled for repair.
While driving - even though the driver door is completely shut, the driver door ajar warning sign appears on the dashboard screen accompanied by the sound of a chime. Sometimes when you open and shut the driver door whether while still driving or if and when you find a side of the road space, the warning sign disappears. But oftentimes, it takes 3 or four tries to make it disappear. Sometimes the driver door ajar warning comes with an instruction to shift to p (park) . . . . Which is helpful if you can find a side of the road spot otherwise the instruction will just confuse a novice driver and could potentially create an accident. I search the internet and found this problem is very common with ford edge. I feel that this problem could potentially create an accident and warrants a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. While driving 10 MPH, the driver side door ajar light illuminated and prevented the doors from locking while the vehicle was in motion. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the front driver side door sensor malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,000. The VIN was not available.
The driver side door says that it is ajar when it isnt. So annoying. The dealership said it will be 250 dollars to fix. Wtf? I have only had the car for 2 days.
