Vehicle door ajar warning light appears on dash as a bright red warning when door is actually closed. Loud beeping warning sound continually sounds off while driving, causing a distraction making unsafe to drive. Driver ignores other warning banners and alerts because this "door ajar alert" is constantly on and ringing. The driver and passengers are in danger because the saftey automatic door locks dk not lock while driving. The driver cannot lock doors with key fob because the door sensor shows the door is ajar. Dome lights are constantly on while driving make it very difficult driving at night, impeding sight of street signs, street maintenance workers, other vehicles, and pedestrians.

I have a 2013 ford edge and the drivers side door ajar indicator remains illuminated even after the door is shut. It was intermittent at first, but now the system always thinks the door is ajar. When I lock it with my keyfob, it locks but the lights stay on and it honks twice, indicating that it thinks a door is open. This will cause the cars interior and exterior lights to remain on for an extended period of time, draining the battery. This is ridiculous. Not to mention the dome lights staying on while driving at night is a safety concern because it impedes my ability to drive safely because I can't see outside as well with lights on inside.

Door latch senser is malfunctioning. With it doing this the doors will not lock while operating the car. Lights stay on when not in use. And alarm will go off when ever it decides to while not in use. Due to car sensing the door is ajar. This makes the car available to be plundered by burglary. While it drains the battery. The lights will go off eventually. But driver door ( the one causing issues) will not respond keyfob. When I use set of keys number 2 ( my set) it won't respond to them till I lock car and remote start sitting inside the automobile. Every time you stop the car will sound an alarm and tell you to shift into park and close door, everytime!! Even when you physically lock doors the car will unlock them. (posably so we can get car jacked) it is a design flaw. Replacing the mechanism isn't the whole answer. I have friends who have done that only to have the same issue pop up in several months. Then they are out about $600. Please deal with this it is on several mak s and models of ford. I like the company, but am getting tired of the run around. It started in 11/01/16 to current. Sad part is it use up come and go. Not anymore.

Drivers side "door open" dash indicator is active when the door is closed, both in park and while driving. It has occasionally come on during driving, then gone off again. Interior lights stay on when car is off, leading to a drain on the battery and I eventually had to replace the battery. The only way to occasionally make the light go off is to repeatedly open and then slam the door closed. I also feel the anti theft features and overall locking may be compromised as I hear the horn "double beep" when using the remote control key fob lock, indicating that a door is still "open".

The "driver door ajar" light does not turn off when you close the door. It will remain on the entire time the vehicle is being driven. The lights will stay on when you are not in the vehicle and when driving at night. Unable to lock the doors from the keypad because the vehicle thinks the door is still open. The horn beeps twice when you try to lock the vehicle with the key fob indicating that the door is open. The radio will also remain on after you exit the vehicle and lock the doors.

Driver door ajar light stays on even when the door is shut!interior dome lights stay on and it tells you to shift the car to park. Does not matter how many times you shut the door it is still sensing it is open. I have to shut the door mulitple times and use the key fob until the lights go off so the battery does not run down. You can shut the door and finally get it to turn off, then start driving and it will tell you to shift to park that the door is ajar and the dome lights come on. The estimate from the dealer to repair is $500.00. This is a major safety concern because my door will not lock while it is showing its ajar and I have children in the back seat that could open it, it is very distracting, frustrating and when it happens at night my lights will not go off and you can not see clearly. I have seen so many complaints regarding this and is very disappointed that ford is not concerned as well!!!!

Drivers side door ajar warning indicator will not shut off. The interior dome light stays on until approx moving 5mph. A few times the light came back on when stopped at a red light or stop sign. The doors will not stay locked, as the system thinks the door is open. After stopping and exiting the vehicle, you are unable to lock the door using the key less entry keypad. The only way to lock the doors is to use the key fob. This was an intermittent problem, now the warning light stays on all the time.

2 weeks after I bought my edge I was attempting to parallel park and when my engine failure light flashed and my car just turned off. I have a push button start so I had to press the brake and attempt to turn the car on again. I took it to the dealership and they told me they couldn't find anything wrong with it. So again in april and again a week ago once when I was driving on a normal street (45 MPH) and while I was driving down the freeway (75 MPH) my car just turned off and stated engine failure low oil. The 2nd time it happened my car had 4,000 miles on it and 5,000 miles the 3rd time. I told the dealership my issues and they told me they couldn't find the problem after having my car for just 24 hours. Your right, it's an intermittent issue so it's not just going to happen while you took my car and drove it 100 miles. None the less I shouldn't have to be dealing with this in a vehicle I paid over 40k for. The owner of avis ford, [xxx] told me it wasn't that big of a deal because it only happened 3 times in 5 months. My car turning off while driving is a huge deal and I could have died any of those times. Engine failures in a vehicle that is brand new is a huge deal.
