Door ajar light comes on with all doors closed. The drivers door is the one affected. This turns on the dome light which can cause the battery to drain leaving a person stranded. Also, it causes the brake and parking lights to come on with no one in the vehicle. The door ajar light also prevents the doors from locking with the key in the ignition. The door ajar light comes on whether the car is turned on or not. The…

Multiple reports of this same issue with the drivers door latch specifically on 2011 ford edges. Extremely dangerous.

The "door ajar" sensor has stopped working twice now (replaced at 32,000 miles and now not working again at 60,000). Side effects of this include having the dome light stay on, not being able to use the exterior keypad lock to lock the door (a security hazard for people who commonly use that feature) and excessive battery wear. Also, possibly the most severe hazard, the driver could get used to the warning, if not…

Two weeks ago my ford edge limited (2011), which i had for less than 2 years and it had ~21000mi, started to have serious problems. While driving on one of the busiest highways in houston, the acceleration suddenly disappeared (gas pedal went limp) when i was going 65-70mph. The car still had power and i was able to break and steer to the emergency lane. While doing that, almost got hit from the back twice. After…

The drivers door indication is that it is "ajar". The door is fully closed, but electrically the switch indicates that the door is ajar causing the doors to remain unlocked no matter what you do. The interior lights remain on at low speeds making it difficult to see out of the vehicle at night. And due to the doors being unlocked, the rear doors can be opened by children while the vehicle is in motion. The doors are…

A message saying 'driver door ajar' appears on the console even when the door is tightly shut. If i try to lock the doors the car would just unlock all doors even while i'm driving. This is very dangerous especially for someone like me who drives my kids to the daycare and school everyday. At nighttime, the internal lights would also not turn off because the car thinks that one of the doors is open. Not only is it…
