My vehicle displayed the door ajar alarm after the door had been shut securely. This occurred intermittently for two days, and then began to occur every time i got in the vehicle. A couple days later it went back to being intermittent. I would not get the notification when i first got in the vehicle, but then the alarm would go off while i was driving.

Electrical System
The warning on the dashboard for driver's door ajar continues to come on despite the door being securely shut. This prevents the doors from locking. In addition, the interior lights illuminate at times when vehicle is off due to the door ajar warning, draining the vehicle battery. This causes a secondary safety issue of being stranded due to battery being drained and car unable to start.

The next day (7/20/15), when we drove the suv to the dealership, it happened a 3rd time. Galpin ford (n hills, ca)…

On june 12, 2015 my 2011 ford edge limited experienced problems with the locks. The car will not stay locked and unlocks itself. Whether stopped in traffic, driving, after turning off the ignition, or walking away from the car, it unlocks itself and sometimes does it cyclically. It happens whether i lock the car manually or with the key fob. If i use the key fob, within a few seconds it will unlock itself again. If…

On a couple of occasions, attempts to lock the vehicle have resulted in the alarm and emergency flashers going off. The problem was intermittent for several weeks, but is now constant. A safety as well as a…

Door sensor does not register that the door is shut, causing the lights to stay on inside continuously. This is a danger to the driver especially at night because i cannt see to drive with the inside dome lights on and its unsafe for the passengers when the doors will not lock.

The door ajar light stays on for both the driver side and passenger side doors. This is causing the interior lights to stay on and is draining my battery. It is also causing the interior light to stay on at night which is making it hard to see. The doors won't lock when in drive because of this problem too.

Door ajar sensor stuck on "open" for driver's side front and rear doors. As a result, dome lights stay on causing difficulty seeing at night, and inability to lock doors while in motion. Also, drains battery and has stranded my wife multiple times. Repair is very costly and as i understand it, the replacement part is just as susceptible to the problem as the original equipment. Ford needs to be responsible for this…

The auto door locks will not work properly. Many times the doors will not lock automatically and the driver door ajar light will come on. The inside lights stay on. This should be a safety concern due to the fact that none of the doors will lock and stay locked with children in the back seat.
