On my 2011 ford edge, the driver's door ajar light stays on, even when the door is shut. This is causing my interior lights to stay while operating the vehicle or when i exit the vehicle, unnecessarily draining the battery. Additionally, this is a major safety issue as i am unable to lock the doors from my driver control panel (for example, if one of my children happens to open their lock, i cannot lock it again…

Driver door ajar sensor stays on even though door is securely closed which causes interior lights to stay on and making it hard to see to back up at night. Door will not lock when this sensor stays on which is especially unsafe for transporting children or securing yourself in your car in less than favorable conditions. Battery can run down with lights staying on leaving you stranded.

Driver side door ajar indicator light comes on when the door is securely closed causing doors to remain unlocked while driving. I had the door latch assembly replace back in july 2013 at a cost of $309. The same issue has reoccurred nearly 3 yrs. Later. I contacted the dealer who stated sensor could need cleaning for a cost of $180 or latch replacement might be required again at over $300. I strongly believe this is…

The dome light comes on while vehicle is on movement and creates a night driving hazard. The doors will not lock which is a major safety issue. The false door ajar signal prevents the driver from recognizing a real door ajar situation.

Have a "driver door ajar" warning light on 90% of the time when the door is fully closed. Interior lights remain on and do not go off unless engine is started. This is apparently a very common problem with ford edge vehicles, yet ford does not seem to want to recall. Why? This is not a cheap or easy fix for the consumer.

The door ajar light remains on, no matter how hard or soft i close the door, i must open and close it 3-7 times before the door ajar light turns off. If it doesn't, it remains on the entire time driving. I am unable to unlock the door with the remote sometimes, making it unsafe when i leave work late. Then unable to lock the door as soon as i get in since the car thinks my door is ajar. Very unsafe! This has been…

Drivers side door sensor is saying the drivers side door is open and eventhough the door is closed. This leaves the interior lights on and drains the battery. This originally happened when the vehicle was under warranty, the dealership "cleaned" the latch and it quit, then it started acting up again after the warranty ran out and now they want to replace it and have me pay for it.

Door ajar light comes on despite door being securely closed which prevents door from auto locking at speeds over 15 miles an hour or being able to be locked using control panel outside. Poses hazard as it can register ajar while driving and unlock the door at random.

Door latch assembly malfunction is extremely unsafe especially when backing up at night. The front passenger side was repaired by the dealership but now the back door on the driver side is showing ajar therefore the interior lighting is on and making it difficult to see at night. Making things more difficult is that the back up camera has stopped working also.
