The door ajar light is on at all times when the door is door is shut. The dome lights are on when driving and frequent flashing lights on the dash warn that the drivers door is ajar when it is not. This is a hazard when driving and very distracting. This started here and there on 2/29 and is constant since 3/7. The mileage of the car is around 65,000
2013 Ford Edge lights complaints
Page 6 of 8: complaints 131 to 160 of 196, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Door ajar is constantly on and if it goes off in the middle of me driving the door ajar will go off with interior lights on. This problem is happening all the time
Drivers door ajar light stay illuminated in the instrument cluster and dome lights won't shut off. Had had it to dealer 2 times in the last year and problem would be resolved for 2 months and then would happen again.
Door latch sensor won't register that the door is closed. This means the dome light stays and is unsafe for night driving.
Driver side door ajar sensor stays on all the time even though the door is closed securely. This causes the vehicle not to be secured properly during operation and causes faulty annoying alerts to sound intermittently while driving. It also causes interior dome lights to stay on causing a dangerous obstruction to vision while driving at night. When parked with the engine off, the interior lights will stay on and drain the battery.
My 2013 ford edge door latch incorrectly reports that the door is open when it is not. This turns the interior lights on and drains the battery, also will not let you turn on the alarm or lock the doors from the inside. Constantly chimes and tell you to put in park to shut door.
When you close the driver side door the instrument panel gives a false warning saying the door is ajar and the dome light stays on. This happens when the car is stationary. After several attempts of opening and closing the door the warning disappears, but then while the car is moving the warning returns and the dome light comes back on and the doors unlock. This seems to be a pretty common problem and my car currently has 48,000 miles on it. This warning issue has been going on for about 1 month.
Driver's side door open light keeps coming on. Shift to park light keeps coming on. Lights come on while you are driving or just parked. Interior lights don't go out when they should. Inside lights go on when the car is just parked for no reason. Sometimes will stay on for up to a half an hour.
My door sensor on the driver side passenger door light stays on when the door is completely shut. So the dome light stays on. Also when you are driviing the doors don't lock. I just purchased this vehicle this past october. It was good for about 2 weeks then the door sensor started going on and off. Now it is staying on all the time.
Door ajar indication does not go out when door is closed. The interior light will not go out and the doors will not lock.
The door ajar warning light comes on after the door is closed on the driver's side- the interior lights stay on- car is stationary, but lights stay on if you drive
The driver door sensor (when the door is shut tightly and secured) keeps turning interior lights on while driving in the dark! This is a safety issue. Guess what else happens? My doors will not lock because of this sensor. That is another safety issue on the opposite side of the safety spectrum. If this occurs both driving and while car is not in motion, how does ford value the safety of their customers? Hopefully by taking that this should be recalled and make their customers happy. This is disappointing, as well as frustrating because it is happening every single day.
Sensor on the rear driver's side door is defective, causing the doors not to lock, and the interior lights not to go off when it is locked. This ultimately drained the battery and left my wife stranded.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. The contact stated that an unknown front door latching mechanism failed to properly register that the vehicle door was closed. As a result, an internal warning message informing the contact to put the vehicle in park and close the door displayed. In addition, the contact stated that the warning message chimed until the vehicle was placed into the park position. The contact further stated that when the vehicle was stopped and turned off, the interior light failed to function properly and shut off causing the battery to be drained. The vehicle was taken to be diagnosed where the contact was informed that the door lock mechanism needed to be replaced. It was unknown if the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 55,000.
Door ajar light stays on,we have to open and close it several times to get the lights to go out when the car is turned off, when the car is on it causes the warning chime to constantly sound.
When taking a left or right turn onto another road, there is absolutely no illumination to the side during the actual turn until completed on rural roads with no lighting. The experience is like turning into a black hole until front wheels are back straight. Road sides with adjacent ditches or anything in the road like people or animals will not be seen, a very dangerous situation. Low beam illumination is not that good under normal circumstances; it like driving with two very narrow beam fixed flashlights. Last week I almost missed a turn on an unfamiliar road by just missing running into a ditch close to the roadside at its' intersection.
Dome lights, ajar light other dash board lights stay on when I get out of the car. I can lock or not and they will stay on and drain my battery. I sometimes take 5 minutes opening and closing doors and locking/unlocking vehicle before it will go off. Also while traveling the dome lights will come on and at night I have to stop or have a wreck. Very dangerous situation why hasn't ford done something about this. Will never buy a ford product again especially when they will not recognize the problem with a recall
Door ajar warning and door chiming. If door does not close properly lights stay on draining battery leaving owner stranded with dead battery. While driving door chiming constantly going off distracting owner while driving. Problem happens while driving and while parked
Door ajar drivers side will not go off, lights remain on, unable to get them off. Inability to lock doors, dome light remains on causing night driving hazard, false door ajar prevents driver from knowing real door ajar situation
Door ajar light comes on, overhead lights stay on, doors will not lock, says shift to park after stopping & starting again.
When closing drivers door interior lights remain on will not shut off after repeated trys to reclose door. Also door ajar light in dash remains on. Cannot trust warning display if door is properly shut. Have had problem checked and told the door ajar switch is malfunctioning. Happens 90% of the time.
Door ajar light is on and door is closed.also interior lights stay on and this is very dangerous driving at night.ford will not fix it,no recalls.people had the sensor replaced on door and light came on again.wasted time and money.
When you closed the door the sensor sounds like the door is open. Lights stay on and is impossible to turn on the alarm. Caused damaged to the battery. You need to close the door several times because the sensor keep indicated that the door is open.
The door latch sensor does not work. As I am driving it detaches and signals to the car that the door is ajar while it is not. This cause the doors to unlock and the lights to turn on. While I am driving it becomes dangerous because the doors are not locked. Also, as one is driving and the lights turn on unexpectedly it could affect ones vision. Its seems it is a defect in door that is damaging the part. Many have had them replaced and after a while becomes defective once again.
I was driving my friend and her 9yr old to the store, my door lock sensor was not working and said door ajar so I was unable to lock the doors in drive I tried and they whould just unlock. My friends child was able to open the door while I was going 45mph she could have fell out. This door ajar problem has been happening off. The dome light stays on and im unable to lock the doors. I just bought the car used so its not under warranty. It is a huge saftey issue and I guess after reading the hundreds of complaints about the same issue that nothing is going to be done untill there is a death instead of trying to avoid one. Also I heard the police version of the explorer had a similar problem and ford recalled it right away why not the consumer it seems like they dont care about the consumers safety. Please help before someone actully gets hurt.
2013 ford edge with 30,000 miles on it. Door ajar alarm and light come on after vehicle is underway. Overhead lights come on blinding driver at night. Lights and switch remain on despite repeated attempts to slam door while driving. Smell of gasoline while idling indicates fuel leaking from system posing fire hazard. Defective parts create dangerous situation for driver and passengers.
The driver door ajar sensor is malfunctioning causing multiple problems. Doors don't lock automatically when in motion. It causes cabin lights to remain on once driving lights are on creating visibility issues. This also causes some of the door locking options to malfunction. When driving or stopped it generates false alarms or warnings.
Right before our 3 year warranty expired the "drivers door ajar" warning light came on. We checked it out and other items and all seemed to be ok. One or two days later it came on again and cleared when we shut the door several times. Now 8 days out of warranty it seems to come on almost all the time and won't clear. Also, the dome lights stay on too. I called the dealer and said it would cost me $125 bucks to diagnose plus repair. He said I could call ford. I called ford and spoke to kevin who created case # cas7689552, but got disconnected. His statement was to bring it in to a dealer and then they would decide what they would do for me after inspection. I really thought ford would just fix this. I then called back and spoke to kendra who was nice but same thing. I asked her what she thought I could expect and she said in the best case I would be responsible for a portion of the bill. I looked online and saw one guy take the whole door off to fix and another who cleaned for a temp fix. There were a lot of other people reporting same problem. This has to be an engineering flaw and ford knows this. It is also unsafe to drive after dark with your inside dome lights on and your door chiming. Please get a recall on this! I don't know what to do yet but I cannot afford a $500 repair bill on something so stupid as this. Shame on ford.
Left rear door ajar warning message stays on, even when the door is closed. The interior/dome lights stay on while driving, even at night time, so it is hard to see to drive. The dome lights stay on as even after the car is parked and turned off. The doors do not lock while we are inside our vehicle. This is a huge safety issue for myself, and my growing family. For one, not being able to lock the doors to keep ourselves protected and safe inside our vehicle has me very concerned. This vehicle is suppose to be our family car that I feel safe and secure in with my spouse and children. Also, driving at night while the dome lights continue to stay on prevents me from seeing everything properly at night. I seriously fear for the safety of my family while driving this vehicle this way. This is our family car that needs this door latched replaced due to a faulty latch. Please, send out the recall. Help me protect my family and those around me from any accidents that may happen due to this faulty door latch. I hope this reaches some one who can help prevent my family from any accidents, and who will help others stay safe that have this vehicle problem. Thank you for reading my cry for help. *tr....updated 10-27-15 *bf the consumer stated when the door was locked. The alarm kept going off, because the system was detecting the left rear door was opened. Also, the interior lights kept coming on for a while, and eventually they went out. They would come on periodically since the system sensed the left rear door was ajar. Updated 01/15/16.
At first I noticed that even though the door behind the driver was properly shut the door ajar light was still on it was for a few days until now the interiors lights now won't go off when I leave the car and activate the alar.
