The driver door latch sensor (driver door ajar) will not go out after closing the door. The interior lights stay on and the doors will not lock because of it. This is a safety issue since anyone could just walk up and open your door since it will not lock. I had the same issue with my 2008 edge this is a known problem that has been going on for years why is nothing getting done about this to make them put a recall…

The "door ajar" warning light started coming on, intermittently at first and then continuously. Bad sensor. When this occurs, the doors will not lock using the latch and the interior lights stay on for a time. The only way to lock the doors once inside, is to use the key fob. This can be quite dangerous if not in a good area. This problem has drained my battery on more than one occasion. The problem has been…

At first, about a week or so ago, door lock sensor indicated right front door not closed. Warning appeared on dash. Automatic locking at 10 mph ok happened for a while, but within past few days, auto lock does not happen. In fact, if door locked manually after starting, all doors automatically unlock within seconds--whether vehicle parked or in motion (with ignition on). In short, locking doors is not possible and…

The driver side door ajar indicator stays on, even after numerous firm slams of the driver - this causes the interior lights to stay on and also annoys while driving. Door is securely shut and locked and indicator continues to stay on. *tr

My door ajar light keeps coming on when my driver side door is clearly shut. Looked up multiple forums and found other people with the same problem. Why hasn't there been a recall? I shouldn't have to pay $400 for this fix! *tr

This first happened the day after having the car serviced at a ford dealership. My wife said she got in the car, shut the door as usual and started the engine. Immediately, the door ajar warning light came on showing the driver's door being ajar. She opened & closed the door numerous times, and finally the warning light went off. A week later, this is still happening at various times with no rhyme or reason. Also,…

Vehicle displays driver side door ajar. No matter what you do to close the door, it wont turn off. It doesn't allow the doors to be locked when driving and the alarm to go off constantly. This in effect causes you to get a costumed to your alarm going off and not really knowing when it is legitimate. Also if another door is ajar you can get so used to seeing the "driver door ajar" light that it can be confused for…

In may of 2014 my ford edge has been having problems with the drivers side door being ajar. When the door is shut the dome lights stay on until you go put it in drive and go over 20mph, then they shut off. Thats the only way to turn the lights off. Its a door sensor issue that needs to be addressed asap. The door is completely shut and the dash icon says "driver door is ajar". It kills the battery and we need to…

During driving, the engine stopped and car would not accelerate, there was a complete loss of power. There was no warning, and the "yellow wrench" light came on, and car would not go. This was in the middle of the road and could not get off of the road. It happened so quickly, there was no time to react to try to pull over. Lost steering and couldn't move anywhere. Waited for 1 min or so, and restarted car. *tr

On the driver's door only, the door ajar notification remains on even after the door is securely shut. The door will not lock with that notification on and the interior lights do not want to go out either. Also, when the car is off and the doors are locked, this, what seems like an electrical shortage, causes the auxiliary lights come on and off and it causes the battery to die over time. This has been the case…
