Can occur when parked (first starting car) or driving. Can temporarily override issue by pressing ok button, but can/will happen again. Very annoying and is a hazard when driving (kinda startling/distracting) especially if it occurs at…

Tsb-14-0083 and 0011. Door ajar will not turn off. The issue is with the driver's door latch assembly. This should be a recall as it is affecting all 2011 and newer ford cars with this latch system as documented here on multiple treads on fordedgeforum.com. Example thread http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/10869-door-ajar-warning-on-at-all-times/page-4. *tr

The drivers side door is definitely closed. Car does not think so. Dash warning light is on. Dome lights on. When using the clicker to lock the doors the horn beeps a couple of times. Weird stuff. I do not know if this is going to cause safety problems or not. This edge also has back brake problems. The back rotors and brakes have been changed twice already due to corrosion. Bad design. They get really hot and must…

The driver door latch has a switch to indicate if the door is open or closed. This switch is failing and indicating that the door is ajar regardless of the actual status. This prevents the ability to lock the car doors while driving the vehicle, and obscures albeit does not prevent the ability to recognize other open doors. Dealer indicates that this is a common issue. *tr

The drivers side door adjar sensor is malfunctioning even when the door is fully closed. When this malfunction occurs, the interior overhead light remains lit for 5-10 minutes and it cannot be disabled. This is especially problematic during night driving, because it makes it extremely difficult to see the road and surrounding environment while the light is on. The first time the problem occurred, ford cleaned the…

The door ajar light started coming on and is now on constantly. Since the door ajar light won't go off my console light stays on as well. I have found nothing to fix this issue except for completely replacing it. It's not a cheap fix. *tr
