When vehicle is parked the door ajar light remains on after door is closed. Inside lights stay on and run the battery down.
Re: pe16012 I too am experiencing the door ajar light. There are two more safety issues you fail to consider as well as the extent of the problem. One, when the door ajar light is on and the vehicle is in motion the auto lock feature of the doors is lost. Aside from the issue of the doors potentially opening there is the potential danger to the occupants of unwanted access by unscrupulous people. The second issue that when the car is parked and locked the interior lights remain on resulting in batteries being worn down and drivers and passengers stranded. Not a wonderful thought in freezing winter conditions. The final point I would make is that there were 1349 complaints, now 1350, filed prior to mine. An old rule of thumb has been that for everyone who will take the time to write a letter of complaint there are 10,000 more who will not. The math says 13,500,000. Obviously there were not this many ford edges sold in the 3 model years this safety issue has presented itself. In fact they sold a little under .3% of that number. That makes the ratio of complaints extremely high and much seriousness much greater. The date I note at the bottom is the approximate date the problem started.
Warning light shows driver door open when the door is really closed. The dome light will stay on and the doors will not lock while in gear. This will drain the battery and is a safety issue since door will not lock.
Starting in february 2017, the 'driver door ajar' warning indicator would not turn off when the driver door was closed. The vehicle had about 90,000miles. None of the three passenger doors or the tailgate have this same issue. At first the problem was intermittent. I tried to lubricate the latch with silicon spray and the problem would go away for a week, then come back. It progressively got worse until june of 2017, when the problem would not go away at all. Slamming the door shut repeatedly did not work, the driver door ajar warning stayed on. Because of this issue, it's hard to tell if the door is really closed or not. If the door is not latched properly, it would be a severe safety concern. In addition, the doors no longer lock, neither automatically nor using the lock switch which also presents a safety concern. Another result of this problem is the interior lights do not go out when the car is off and the door closed which has drained the battery on several occasions. Please look into this issue as a major safety concern, especially in view of the doors not locking when the vehicle is in motion and the uncertainty as to whether or not the door is actually closed.
Driver side passenger door sensor always states the door is open, won't turn of interior lights so affecting vision while driving. Interior lights stay on one due to door not closed so battery is dying. Doors will not lock while driving very dangerous for small children . Child safety lock will not work due to the sensor saying the door is open
Door ajar light stays on when drivers door is shut. This also causes the doors not to lock when engaged in the drive mode.
My driver side door will be closed properly and the door ajar light will turn on.
Door ajar light on dash always on when ignition key is inserted - doors securely latched - dome lights stay on, draining battery - doors won't lock for safety in motion - dealer trying to act like they never heard of it, although thousands mentioned online - vehicle has 30600 miles
Door latch doesn't latch disabling door locks and it is a hazard. Was told not on recall. Heavy smell of exhaust. When filling gas the evap code comes and it is rough to start.
Vehicle was in motion when all systems, including power steering stopped during a left turn. Upon inspection, battery was dead. Prior to this, the "door ajar" warning indicator was light, despite the door being latched. Certified ford service center said that the door was indeed latched, so there was no safety issue there. However, didn't inform that it would drain battery. Occasionally, the vehicle parking headlights would come on, along with dome light when not in operation.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. The contact stated that the dashboard exhibited fractures around the passenger side air bag area, which caused the passenger side air bag to be exposed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. A local unknown dealer was contacted. The dashboard was not replaced. The failure mileage was 68,000.
The "door ajar" light stays on after closing the door. Per social media it is a known and common problem. Because the estimate for diagnostics and replacement (quoted by ford dealership) of a faulty switch in the door is approximately $525.00, there are social media suggestions on how to disable the switch (cutting a wire, etc.). Disabling the switch could cause a safety hazard. I think a recall should is in order. My vehicle (2013 ford edge) has 29,300 miles on it. The problem first starting occurring in aug. 2017 and has steadily gotten worse.
Driver side door latch sensor indicating door ajar failed and the entire door latch had to be replaced.
You can be driving and the door ajar light will come on which turns the interior lights on making driving at night very difficult due to the unexpected lighting that reduces visibility greatly at an instance. Also it may take several attempts closing the door to get the door ajar light to go out causing one to wonder if the door is truly closed or not.
Driver door latch reads door ajar alarm,shift into park,an doors want lock automatically an lights will not go off some times for forty five minutes or longer.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. The contact stated that the door ajar warning indicator was constantly illuminated even though all the doors were closed. The contact stated as a result, the interior lights in the vehicle remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to bill collins ford where it was diagnosed that the driver-side door latch needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however no further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.
Door latch does not properly secure. Door ajar sensor light is always on. Interior lights remain on and vehicle alarm will not activate because door locks do not engage. This happens constantly; when the vehicle is in motion, standing, parked, engine running and engine not running. Low tire pressure sensor light also remains on at all times, even though it appears tires are inflated to proper pressure.
Defective door latch - the defect is not covered in other recall for ford models for the same problem. It is safety concern and ford customer service will not repair the vehicle.
Driverside door latch is messed up,it is showing doors ajar when it is closed.
Door ajar issue see attached. 5th complaint and no response safety issue when door flung open while driving , 8 year old child was in the vehicle!!!
Left front door sensor regularly indicates door ajar, when it is not. Effects whether I can lock doors to protect children and other passengers. Also adversely impacts battery life; if sensor incorrectly indicates door ajar, the interior lights remain on after departing the vehicle, thus draining battery and increasing likelihood of not being able to start later.
This is my second time reporting non-working door lock systems. Has been repaired but continues to not work. What can be done
Door ajar lamp stays on, drains battery. Comes on while driving, forces pull overs on freeways to get the interior lights to go off.
Door latch sensor stays on. Dealership states it is a typical faulty part that they have to replace. Even after replacing the same part continues to fail.
There is water leaking into my ford edge leaving a puddle on my drivers side floor, completely saturating the carpet. The water is literally pooling on the floor under my feet. This happens when the car sits idle, undriven, when there is rain. It has nothing to do with an A/C leakage, condensation, etc. There is water leaking from the outside into my vehicle and has now resulted in rusting of my floorboard and molding to my carpet. There is a strong mold odor and is intoloerable unless the windows are open while driving. I have a child with allergies and he can not be exposed to this. This has happened numerous times after rain . I have vacuumed up the water, dried the carpeting but it reoccurres over and over. My first incident was just a month or so after I purchased the vehicle used. I will get into my vehicle in the morning and you can visually see a puddle on my drivers side floor, sometimes even submersing my floor mat, when there was rain during the night and the floor was dry when I parked it the night before.
The door ajar warning will not go off with the door closed . It will do it after driving for a few miles and when first started. I can no longer lock my car at night because the alarm will go off due to this issue and wake everyone up. I have been reading many complaints about this issue,and for as much as these cars cost , I can't believe ford has not issued a recall to fix it. This is a safety hazard due to me not being able to lock my doors at night, and because while driving, the doors unlock. Please expedite this investigation for myself and the thousands of others this has affected.
The door ajar warning for my drivers side stays on all the time, even when door is securely closed. This has caused interior lights to remain on and battery life to be drained. The doors will not lock while driving.
The door latch sensor stays on even with the door closed and latched. While driving the car keeps telling you to stop and put the car in park because the door is not latched. When the car is off the lights stay on drainning the battery because it still does not sense the door is closed.
Door ajar notification will not go off even though the door is completely shut. This keeps the over head dome lights from going off as well as the doors from locking. It's dangerous at night because it's hard to see to back up when the dome lights are on. It makes visibility very low. It's also not safe that the doors do not lock.
