While driving i had a message on my dash board that my driver side door was open. All the interior lights comes on and will not go off. I checked and all doors were closed and secure. This malfunction still up today and happens daily day an night time. During night is a safety issue because you can not see due to lights being on. *tr

The locks on all four doors of the vehicle no longer lock on their own when put into drive. When locked with the remote key they unlock about 3 seconds afterwards. They only way to keep the doors locked is to use the key pad on the vehicle or lock them from the inside. *tr

Driver door adjar notification won't go off even though all doors are closed. This prevents doors from locking while driving causing safety hazard. Also causes the interior lights stay on while driving causing safety hazard at night. Sometimes interior lights won't go off at all even after the car has been turned off for hours.

Interior light stays on when in reverse and complicates ability to back up at…

Although the doors are closed on my 2011 ford edge the "driver's door open" warning appears on dashboard. Interior lights stay on. Doors will not lock from the inside, making things dangerous in the event of a car-jacking. Ford claims this is not covered under the warranty and wants a lot of money to fix the problem, which we have discovered is widespread. It is an inherent fault with the ford edge irrespective of…

The driver door ajar light is on and the doors will not lock. At the current time, this is intermittent but online research says many similar cars have the same problem beginning at about 41,000 miles. Why is this a safety issue? The main reason is carjacking! Also you can not lock all four doors and tail gate at the same time. To manually lock all door from the inside by the driver alone is nearly impossible for us…

Need someone to know about this craziness. Days after a full detailing and replaced battery that the dealer said needed replacing, got the blind spot and cross traffic warning faults, at first occasionally, then within a week every time the car was driven. Soon the navigation indicated a fault as well. A few days later, in the morning for school drop off, each of these faults alerted, then the heat started blasting.…

My 2011 ford edge currently has 59000 miles on it. The door ajar light will not go off. I have taken it to the dealership to be checked out. They said it was not covered in warranty and that there is a tsb on it- tsb-14-0083. Apparently this is a common issue. I am not able to lock my doors properly in the vehicle. My alarm will randomly go off in the middle of the night because its sensing that the door is open…

Upon entering the 2011 ford edge i closed the drivers side door and the door ajar light came on after i started the car. I opened and closed the drivers side door several times to no avail. I pushed the ok button on the steering wheel and tried to open and close the drivers side door and the light went off. This happens about 3-5 times a week. *tr

I get a door ajar warning when the door is actually closed; the lights won't go off, nor the doors lock. I feel very unsafe with the doors not being able to lock. Plus it doesn't help the battery life much either. *tr

For the third time the "driver door ajar" warning light is illuminated while the door is closed and presumed locked. The dealer made repairs the first two times and now is charging me again for this third occurrence of the same issue stating they previously only cleaned the part which is now determined to need replacement. My teenager often drives this vehicle and we do not know if the driver door is closed or…
