Door sensor fails to register that the door is closed. Won't allow doors to lock while operating the vehicle. Sensor will randomly fail, causing the interior and exterior lights to come on, sometimes draining the battery. This is a huge problem, and there are thousands of online complaints about this. Ford is unwilling to cover repair costs and will not warranty their work if you have them repair it.

Both when the car is stationary and moving the driver's side door will be closed but the dashboard indicator will say the driver's side door is ajar despite the door being securely closed.

Door ajar warning issue-of course warranty is over, ford is really not trying to satisfy it's customers. I refuse to bring to dealership because they charge unreasonable rates and look for other issues not associated to my reason for bringing in the car. I will try to repair myself or bring to a mom and pop repair shop.

Takata recall. The driver door ajar light stays on at all times. Will not go off no matter how many times you shut the door, the dome light stays on, runds the battery dead. I have tried every thing including wd 40. I believe it is the sensor but i am not a mechanic so.... I have googled this issue and it seems that everyone that owns a ford edge has this issue. I can not believe there is not a recall on this…

Have started to receive "door ajar warning" indication when the driver door is closed. Have researched on-line sites and found it to be a very common problem with this model ford vehicle. I consider this to be a personal safety issue as the vehicle's doors will remain unlocked until the problem is addressed. If i get the warning to go away when the vehicle is stationary the doors will lock and i can begin my drive.…

I have had my door ajar sensors malfunction 3 seperate times. This issue has been fixed twice under warranty. This 3rd time i have been quoted $800+ to fix this because now both doors are malfunctioning. This is a huge annoyance and a safety hazard. This makes my doom lights stay on and will not allow me to lock my doors while i am using my car, which is extremely scary.

Driver door ajar light stays on even when the door is clearly closed. The car will not stay locked; i press the door lock and the doors lock and then immediately unlock so i cannot have my car doors locked while i am driving. This is a constant problem; it is not intermittent. I am very disappointed in this car. I have had to have the throttle body replaced at a cost of $500.00, i have had a brake booster failure…

This is the second time the drivers door latch has failed. When it fails you can't always lock doors and light will stay illuminated on the dash. This also causes the electrical system to stay active even when the vehicle is off causing the battery to be drained. This recently killed our battery. It appears as if ford has no fix for this as many have seen this failure to recur every 35k or so, guess it depends on…

This causes the door locks to not lock the doors while driving. When i park the car the exterior rear view mirrors down light stays on, the interior lights stay on and some dash lights. I've gone out to the garage 4 hours after i've gotten home and found them…

When i go to shut my drivers side door it tells me that's it's not shut when it definitely is. This causes my interior and exterior lights to remain on. It takes multiple times of opening and closing the door for it to finally register that the door is indeed shut. It didn't start until a few months after owning the vehicle. When it first started it happened maybe once a month but recently it's been every time i get…
