2011 ford edge purchased new. The door ajar indicator comes on when the door is closed. The interior lights stay on and will not go off when the door is closed. I have sprayed brake cleaning solution and also wd-40. This helps for a day or two. The problem has been reported to my ford dealer and nothing is done. The doors will not lock when the door ajar indicator light is on, and i worry about my families safety.…

Door ajar indicator stays on for driver side door which will not lock. Doors cannot be locked while driving, interior lights stay on because of door ajar indicator which in turn drains battery. Unsafe for doors not being able to be locked and lights continue to illuminate while vehicle is off and parked. *tr

Driver door ajar warning constantly on. Requires you to slam the door sometimes up to ten or more times before the car will finally recognize the door is closed. Interior lights will remain on which i am afraid will lead to a dead battery. *tr

Driving the blue ridge parkway in nc we entered the first of several tunnels along that route. Headlight switch was in auto-on position as it is always. The headlights did not come on as we entered the tunnel as they do at nightfall. I hit the brakes before either running in to the wall on the right or (worse) crossing over in to the opposite lane. Almost caused a rear end collision as there was a group of harley…

I own a 2011 ford edge with the myford touch option. On july 22, 2013, i experienced an event that could have had fatal consequences. While traveling on the blue ridge parkway in north carolina, i entered the first of several mountain tunnels. When i entered the tunnel, i expected the headlamps to turn on automatically. They did not. Assuming the lights were actually on, i lowered my sun glasses thinking the tint…

The door ajar warning light will not go off even if the door is closed, which makes the interior lights stay on while driving which is a hazard at night time, creates low visibility, hard to see the road. Also the doors lock and unlock sporadically because of the malfunctioning sensor. Several people i know with the same vehicle have had the same problem with theirs. Seems like ford is cashing in on the 600.00…

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…

Door ajar light stays on. This causes all dome lights to stay on, at night impairs vision when backing up. Makes driving very unsafe for first few yards, dome and map lights then go off. This is very unsafe and i have had one latch replaced. Now another is doing it. Ford dealer refused to fix it again, will cost about $300.00 each time. I feel ford has know of this problem for some time and should fix all doors on…

The dome lights come on when i get in my car (or sometimes when it's just sitting in the garage) and they stay on because it says that a door is ajar but it's not. Initially i had 2 doors replaced per advice of my ford dealer but it didn't last long before the lights were on and the message came back. At night it is especially unsafe because of the glare. The light eventually fades as i pick up speed, but until then…
