The door ajar light stays on for both the driver side and passenger side doors. This is causing the interior lights to stay on and is draining my battery. It is also causing the interior light to stay on at night which is making it hard to see. The doors won't lock when in drive because of this problem too.

Door ajar sensor stuck on "open" for driver's side front and rear doors. As a result, dome lights stay on causing difficulty seeing at night, and inability to lock doors while in motion. Also, drains battery and has stranded my wife multiple times. Repair is very costly and as i understand it, the replacement part is just as susceptible to the problem as the original equipment. Ford needs to be responsible for this…

The door ajar light remains on and is a safety issue. Because the vehicle things the door is open, the doors to not lock while driving or stopped. Additionally, the accessories (sync phone connection, radio, etc) do not stay on when car ignition if off and accessory is on. Dome lights stay on while driving and backing up which is very dangerous in nighttime conditions.

A door ajar but no door open. Latch key assembly had to be changed on driver's side front and now at 80,000 miles latch key change needing changed on passenger rear door. What will it take for ford to recall this issue. Posted so many times here.

Door ajar light stays on regardless of how many times i close the door. The door is closed but the sensor stays on and the light inside the car will not turn off (due to the car thinking the door is open)--not sure if the door does not close all the way. Seems unsafe to drive with the car this way since i don't know if it is securely closed.

The door ajar sensor will not allow the door to be locked while in motion. Additionally, it will force the interior light to remain illuminated after removing the key which then drains the battery requiring constant roadside assistance.

The left rear door ajar light comes on and does not go off even when the door is shut. Also, the interior lights stay on for up to an hour after parking the car, and for 3-5 minutes after starting the car. This is extremely dangerous when driving at night. It has also killed a battery already.

The driver side door latch not working properly indicates the door is opened when it is closed. There for the dome light stays on till the car reaches 20 miles per hour or about a city block witch makes it hard to drive and cover the dome light at night so u can see out the windshield so not to be blinded by the light .

Door ajar warning light on dash does not go out. Also, twin interior lights do not go out. This draws down battery when parked and is a safety issue when driving at night. Fix from ford dealership is $400+. This is ridiculous, and seems to be a systemic problem. I saw on line repairs of how to fix going back to 1998 ford model from windstars, to rangers, to edges - all models years, all with the same problem. Ford…

Our ford edge gives us the door ajar notification upon putting the car in drive and at random times when driving. The doors are all closed when this happens. The overhead lights come on and will not turn off as long as the door ajar warning is on. Sometimes, the problem can be corrected by slamming the driver door a few times. Other times their seems to be no remedy. Other than being extremely annoying, we believe…

Driver door adjar notification won't go off even though all doors are closed. This prevents doors from locking while driving causing safety hazard.

Door ajar lights for both driver and passenger side doors stay on even though they are closed. Result is that the dome lights stay on and unable to lock the doors while driving even though they are closed. Has caused a drain on the battery, dealer wants a large sum of money to replace the latch even though it's clearly a sensor only.
