My vehicle is a 2014 ford edge with less 40,000 miles. The door ajar sensor is malfunctioning thus preventing the door to lock while vehicle is in motion and the interior dome light stays on while driving. My child has opened the door on many occasions while vehicle was in motion and almost fell out. Ford is aware of this issue and there many online forums with customers having the same issue dating back to 2010. And instead of doing recall ford has issued a tsb.

The door ajar warning light continued to stay on even after closing the driver side door. We "googled" the situation and found out that many owners of ford edge vehicles have reported this problem. We took it to a dealership to get repaired. We did have an extended warranty, but ended up paying $150 diagnostic fee. The total cost was $459.00 (extended warranty paid). After reading the blogs about this repair, we would like to see this be a recall for the vehicle.
When the driver's door is closed the display panel shows the driver's side door is open.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. The contact stated the driver's side door warning light illuminated although the door was not open. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.
After closing the door then starting the vehicle the "door ajar" will not go off which notifies the driver to put the vehicle in park. I think this is a safety issue as the vehicle may not protect the driver and passengers in the event an accident occurs. I also noticed that when turning the vehicle off to get gas or etcetera, it keeps notifying you to put the vehicle in park. I think this is directly related to the door latch being faulty. Ford wants $400 to repair this item which I think is a safety issue and should be recalled as many edge owners are experiencing the same faults.
My door ajar light continues to come on. I shut the door multiple times and sometimes it turns off and some times it doesn't. I think the lock or latch on the door is faulty.
Door ajar sensor indicates door is ajar when it clearly is not. This makes locking the doors impossible and causes the interior dome lights to illuminate. Car is less than 2 years old. Apparently, this is a problem with the switch assembly across numerous ford vehicles.
The driver side door becomes ajar even when shut and you have to open and shut the door numerous times to have the alert go away. The dome lights stay on and at night this not safe. Also, every time you start to accelerate the car beeps and tells you to put the car in park, which is a distraction. Also this prevents the doors from locking while the vehicle is in motion and causes the interior lights to remain on in the vehicle when parked. If continue to drive while door ajar lamp is illuminated the alert will also chime every time I start from a complete stop which very distracting.
I have been having issues with the driver's "door ajar" being on constantly. The door is clearly shut; however, there is a constant beeping warning that the door is open. Due to this warning, the car will not allow for the doors to be locked when the car is in motion. This is a major concern having two young children. In addition to the safety issue mentioned above, the dome light is now delayed from turning off upon exiting the vehicle. Took this into the dealership and they wanted $500 to fix. This past weekend, I am now receiving a warning that my liftgate is open as well. I had no success after attempting to close the liftgate multiple times. This lock mechanism seems to have a clear issue which ford is hesitant to address. I really hope they get this fixed asap or I will not be purchasing ford products again.
The driver's door sensors intermittently have a "door ajar" warning, though each door is completely shut. The sensor is inside the latch, and has a very high failure rate, based on cursory internet research. The warning can occur while driving,and/or applying brakes. It alerts the driver to put the car in park. The doors will not lock (while driving) when the "door ajar" sensor light it on. This is a safety issue.
The driver side door becomes ajar and you have to open and shut the door numerous times to have the alert go away. The dome lights stay on and at night this is a hazard. Also, every time you start to accelerate the car beeps and tells you to put the car in park, which is a huge distraction.
The driver door almost always reports that it is ajar despite the fact that it is closed. It will occasionally stop reporting the problem if I repeatedly open and close the door. This prevents the doors from locking while the vehicle is in motion and causes the interior lights to remain on in the vehicle when parked for about 10 minutes. The alert will also chime every time I start from a complete stop which is very distracting.
While driving, at various speeds, the drivers side door warning comes up on the dash and a bell will ring saying that the door is ajar. Sometimes it says to put car in park. I open and close the door and it fixes the problem temporarily, only to happen again. Happening more and more frequently.
Door ajar warning system fails repeatedly causing auto door locks to unlock all doors repeatedly - this is apparently a problem with ford edge since 2006 or before - door locking system failure represents a real consumer hazard.
The driver's door and right rear door sensors intermittently have a "door ajar" warning, though each door is completely shut. The sensor is inside the latch, and has a very high failure rate, based on cursory internet research. The warning can occur while driving, it alerts the driver to put the car in park. Ford categorizes the door ajar warning under 'safety' in its extended warranty plans, so I would conclude that not knowing whether the door is actually ajar or not is, in fact, a safety issue.
Our ford edge keeps thinking the drivers door is open!!! Its not a secure feeling when you are driving or standing and all of a sudden the lights go on and the panel is saying your doors is open.
On 10/21/13 at 6:30 am I was driving on my daily route to work along interstate route 95-south. As I was driving over the high level bridge in portsmouth, nh, I heard a very loud bang. The vehicle had not struck any object, nor had any object struck the vehicle. I looked up and saw that the entire moonroof had completely shattered in place. I immediately pulled off the next exit. When I exited the vehicle and inspected its exterior, I confirmed that there was no indication that anything had hit my car. There was no sign of any object having struck the moon roof. There were no localized impact cracks or puncture holes anywhere, yet, a strip along all four edges of the moon roof had separated, while the center area stayed intact, but was completely shattered. I brought my car to the portsmouth, nh ford dealership and the service manager looked at my vehicle's moon roof and agreed that the damage did not appear to be caused by something hitting my car. Fmc has documentation of his statement. Sm took pictures of the moon roof and submitted a to fmc. Fmc immediately denied the request for replacement. In the meantime, the service manager escalated the request because he felt very strongly that this was not a result of something hitting my moon roof. The request was once again denied. Mr.xxx has continued to make calls on my behalf this week to fmc, asking how anyone can make a determination without sending someone to inspect the moon roof firsthand. He was repeatedly told for three days that ford was working on coming up with a resolution. On 10/23/13 ford called and offered to pay for half the replacement cost of the moon roof. Due to the lack of service from ford motor company, I had to submit a claim through my personal car insurance.
Internal electrical failure in the left front door latch with integral switch that sends a false door ajar signal to the dashboard instruments and audible alarm system. Begins as an intermittent issue then in a few days becomes constant. Annoying at the least. Distracting at the worst, especially for less experienced drivers. My repair was out of any warranty due to mileage.
1.driver's door arm rest and center arm rest do not align up, when both arms are on the arm rests. 2.drive control know is in the way and makes it hard to use center lower electric console. 3.turn signal stays on when you use it to change lanes, have to reset it. 4.both front doors ,lower storage area, is too long, as things tend to get stuck in the back of the storage area. 5.center storage area is hard to get to, and also things get behind the console and you cannot get to them. 6.no trunk cover, hook ups. 7.back seat did not go all the way down.
The automatic trunk has no sensor for items or people in the way. When you hit the close button, it continues to close despite someone or something in its path. It has no sensor to retract or stop closing. It is extremely dangerous considering the speed and weight of the door. I worry that my child will get caught in the door as my spouse and I have been hit by the door on multiple occasions.
