Door ajar light will not go off for driver door. Door is closed. Doors will not lock when moving. I have kids that could open the door while moving (and yes i could use the child locks, but i do not in case of a wreck). This also leaves the interior lights and exterior lights on for 10 or so minutes after the car is turned off, which will drain the battery. This seems to be a huge issue with ford door latches for…

The door ajar sensor ceases to function and indicate whether the door is open or closed, leaving it in the "ajar" state. By having it in this state, the vehicles locks do not automatically engage while driving and also the battery drains while the car is not in use. *tr

The door latch switch is faulty and the door ajar light will not go out on the instrument panel. Apparently ford refuses to recall the product. I believe this could lead to a dangerous situation if the door is really ajar and the door could open, drain the battery and when the door switch is malfunctioning, it states that the door is ajar and the doors will not lock. *tr

Electrical System · Latches/Locks/Linkages
The door latch sensor malfunctions causing the instrument panel to announce that the door is ajar even though all four doors are locked correctly. If you cannot make the message go away by reopening and shutting the door, then the doors will not lock once the vehicle is in motion and the dome lights will remain illuminated. Also, the biggest danger is that the latch can malfunction while driving causing the doors…

Electrical System
The car is sporadically not detecting the driver's side door being closed. This engages the "door ajar" indicator which is linked with the latching mechanism which is linked to the locking features. This happens daily and the door needs to be frequently opened and closed to attempt to get the sensor to recognize that the door is actually closed (which it is). Periodically, the indicator will not clear which makes…

The drivers side front door sensor does not work. The door is closed but it still shows on the dash door ajar. This does not let the doors lock while driving. I feel that this is very unsafe while driving also unsafe for my family to drive in certain areas of the city. I don't even know if the airbags will work. *tr

I've been having issues with the door sensors. I closed the door and the door ajar alarm comes up. I have to slang the door really hard and a few times until the sensors picks it up. When driving i can not locked the doors because the car thinks the doors are ajar. I looked it online and many ford edge's owners had the same issues, they should call for a recall since this is safety problem. *tr

The "driver door ajar" warning remains lit even when my door is completely closed. I either have to slam my door closed or open/close my door multiple times for the light to turn off. This week, the light has started coming on while my car is in motion, which freaks me out. Due to the light coming back on even after it initially goes off, my dome light is staying on and running my car battery down. I needed a jump…
