The door latch mechanism on my driver's side door slowly began failing. At roughly 35k miles, the "door ajar" warning would appear on my vehicle display. I would reclose the door and the warning would go away. It randomly continued to happen and resolve itself while stationary or while running, until about 95k miles ( 8 mo ago). There were electronic sprays you could spray into the latch mechanism that would make…

My door ajar light is constantly on for the back drivers side door. It causes my doors not to lock and my lights stay on. It has already ran my battery down and it causes my security system not to work. It is a safety hazard!!! I have called ford and they say it's not a safety hazard and there is not a recall.

Driver door ajar switch malfunctioning. Consistently displaying "driver door ajar" when closed. This causes overhead lights to stay on making it difficult to see at night, also causes issues locking the door when exiting vehicle because it thinks the door is still open. This issue occurs everyday on most door openings/closings.

Door sensor, latch issues. Known problem with ford vehicles. Door ajar stays on which drains the battery hence the dome lights stay on. My ford edge will not lock, causing very dangerous circumstances when driving or stopped at a light in an area that is unsafe. Will not lock while parked, in drive (on highway or road) or with the ignition turned off. I was over my warranty by 1,000 miles and ford customer service…

The driver side front door sensor is bad, which keeps the door ajar light on at all times, and keeps the overhead lights on for an extended period of time, which drains the battery and is also dangerous when driving at night. Had the dealer "fix" the issue by doing a cleaning/cycling on the electrical part of the latch, but it only lasted a few months and now the problem is back. Ford does not seem willing to…

When driving the car just shuts off. No power steering, now brakes no…

Also, this causes the security system to not work and i have tried the wd 40 thing and anything else that has been suggested to me and nothing works. Battery is always dead and recharging and jumping all the time. This has…

The driver's side door sensor is not working. Door shows open, and the interior lights won't turn off. Won't lock doors and several other problems. From all the feedback i've read, sure would like to see ford do the right thing and issue a recall on this problem. Thanks!

The door ajar sensor keeps alerting - although door is not ajar - when car sits for any period of time this drains the battery. Have had to replace battery twice. Too expensive to have dealer repair.
