The left rear door ajar light comes on and does not go off even when the door is shut. Also, the interior lights stay on for up to an hour after parking the car, and for 3-5 minutes after starting the car. This is extremely dangerous when driving at night. It has also killed a battery already.

Door ajar warning light on dash does not go out. Also, twin interior lights do not go out. This draws down battery when parked and is a safety issue when driving at night. Fix from ford dealership is $400+. This is ridiculous, and seems to be a systemic problem. I saw on line repairs of how to fix going back to 1998 ford model from windstars, to rangers, to edges - all models years, all with the same problem. Ford…

My safety issue is with my ford edge 2011 door ajar sensor. It's gotten worse in the past couple of months. The doors stay unlock, dash board warning display keeps popping up, door display stays lit and the interior light stays on which is hazardous at night. Ford has had this problem with many of it's vehicles for a long time but does not seem to be very interested in fixing it or recalling. I called ford customer…

I started getting a message driver's door ajar even though the door was closed. This did not allow the car to lock properly (two beeps instead of one beep). Also, the interior light did not go out. This is now occurring when i get into the car and try to drive off. This doesn't happen every time, however is now happening more and more often. Sometimes you can lock and unlock the door lock several times and the…

Our ford edge gives us the door ajar notification upon putting the car in drive and at random times when driving. The doors are all closed when this happens. The overhead lights come on and will not turn off as long as the door ajar warning is on. Sometimes, the problem can be corrected by slamming the driver door a few times. Other times their seems to be no remedy. Other than being extremely annoying, we believe…

A right front door ajar warning is reported by the vehicle, but the door is completely shut - have to slam door multiple times to get warning to go off - overhead lights will randomly come as a result which affects your ability to see traffic at night - this problem is still on going on a daily basis - the reported cost of repair is $300 to $500 for a problem that should not be happening.

The driver door ajar alert would not go off and neither would the interior lights even though the door was shut. The lights would stay on while driving and the doors would not lock once i started driving either since it was saying the driver door was open. I'm waiting for the batter to just die since my interior lights stay on for a long time after i shut and lock my doors because the driver door ajar alert never…

Front driver side door senor is not recognizing that the door is closed. It takes numerous attempt in order for the door to be recognized by the electrical system that it is close. This is a huge inconvenience and draws a lot of unnecessary attention. In asking around, i know several other ford edge who have encountered this issue as well, i firmly believe this to be a defect. *tr

Also, the interior light stays on when the message is displayed causing my battery to drain, i had to purchase a new one $102 which i should be reimbursed for. There should be…

Door ajar warning on dashboard: the dashboard says " door is ajar" on the driver side even if all doors are locked and that made the alarm sound telling me that the door is open. The dome light is continuously on. If the car key is in the ignition, i can't manually lock the doors it stays in up position. All these problems are either the car is in motion or stationary.

I was driving vehicle up a slight grade at 30mph. Engine power suddenly dropped to an idle rpm. It felt like it was running on 1 cylinder and very rough. I was able to "creep" the car to the side of road. Pressing on the accelerator in neutral or drive had no effect. A "wrench" warning icon appeared on the indicator panel. Shutting off and restarting the car allowed us to drive home. This occurred two times within 2…
