My door ajar light is constantly on for the back drivers side door. It causes my doors not to lock and my lights stay on. It has already ran my battery down and it causes my security system not to work. It is a safety hazard!!! I have called ford and they say it's not a safety hazard and there is not a recall.

Door does not lock and the "door ajar" light stays on. When i start the car, it seems to think the door is open when it is closed. Because of this, when you try to lock the door, it won't let you. The dome light will stay on for about 30 seconds and the dashboard will read "door ajar". (even though the door is closed) this really became a problem when we were in a seedy side of town and someone came up to the car…

The dash indication light is illuminated at all times even with the door being closed. This is a safety concern because the other doors on the vehicle will not lock while parked and/or in motion. I have driven on the interstate with my doors unlocked and my interior light on because of this sensor. I hope that this can be recalled immediately.

Door sensor, latch issues. Known problem with ford vehicles. Door ajar stays on which drains the battery hence the dome lights stay on. My ford edge will not lock, causing very dangerous circumstances when driving or stopped at a light in an area that is unsafe. Will not lock while parked, in drive (on highway or road) or with the ignition turned off. I was over my warranty by 1,000 miles and ford customer service…

On my 2011 ford edge limited i am having issues with the door ajar, like many other people apparently. I sometimes have to open and shut my door 20 times until my interior lights turn off so it doesn't drain my battery even more. The locks will not engage when my door is 'open' and the door ajar alert will stay on. This issue is getting worse every time i open the door and is a safety issue. Please recall and fix.

The driver side front door sensor is bad, which keeps the door ajar light on at all times, and keeps the overhead lights on for an extended period of time, which drains the battery and is also dangerous when driving at night. Had the dealer "fix" the issue by doing a cleaning/cycling on the electrical part of the latch, but it only lasted a few months and now the problem is back. Ford does not seem willing to…

The sensor in my driver side door warns me that my door is "ajar" when all doors are shut. When this warning is on, i am not able to lock any doors in my vehicle (neither in motion nor parked) and i often travel with toddlers. The dome lights are also illuminated so it is almost impossible to see on the road at night.
