Ongoing issue since 03/2017, car only has 64k miles on it. Door ajar light comes on and stays on when driver or passenger door is opened then closed. The dome light stays on while car is in reverse only turning off once car is in drive dangerous when backing at night.

The drivers side door latch does not catch. This causes the "drivers door ajar" warning. This also causes the lights to no turn off when the car is parked and turned off. This resulting the battery being drained. When battery is drained the car won't start and can leave the driver stranded.

I bought the 2001 edge used. After two days i noticed the passenger door open alarm came on and i could not remove it. Bad sensors. Now, both the passenger and driver door alarms stay on. And, it will not allow me to lock my doors, so when i drive the doors are unlocked. My grand daughter opened a back door at a stop light. In addition, due to the sensors, the dome light stays on and drains my battery. Looking this…

Drivers door latch had to be replaced as the warning light on the dash would not go off and eventually the doom light stayed on over night as well. If the car was running, the warning light was on.

Body · Electrical System
Door ajar light stays on when the door is completely closed/latched. That does not allow to lock the doors automatically (after the speed is more than 5 mph) or even manually since they unlock immediately. That is a safety concern. Also, the interior lights stay on until you drive, blinding you and this can be a safety issue at night.

Body
The door latch sensor is failing causing the car to believe door is unlatched. This leaves dome light on inside car even while driving. I understand ford has recalled other models for this failure but not edge. *tr

The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the door latch was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The…

The rear driver-side door indicator switch has become unreliable. It now indicates the rear driver-side door is open a majority of the time. Because the car thinks the door is not closed, interior lights do not dim reliably and the doors no longer lock reliably. I don't get the option to do so until the car is well under way.

Body
Takata recall the driver's side door latch does not work properly causing the alarm to go off unexpectedly, as well as "door ajar" displayed when you get into the vehicle and close the door. Manually flipping the switch up with fingers sometimes works, but not reliable and seems to be a concern for driving down the interstate hearing air coming in because the door isn't securely latched. This needs to be addressed…

Really two complaints: 1) dash/center console lights not shutting down properly and repeatedly turn on/off when car is turned off. Results in battery draw and frequent dead batteries and 2) door latch warning light will not turn off and doors do not lock properly when being driven.

Drives door ajar sensor does not always work leaving interior lights on while vehicle is moving. This creates a safety hazard as you cannot see outside at night due to the glare from the interior lights staying on as a result of the door ajar sensor not working properly. *tr

The door ajar warning lights stays on. This results in the dome light staying on while driving for a short period of time or after the car is off. Drained the battery once. Also, the door can not be locked. On a much more serious note, the dome light suddenly come on while i'm driving on the highway. This creates a very dangerous situation because i'm unable to see cars around me very well. I went to the ford…

The driver door sensor is not working correctly. The driver door ajar notification remains on once the door is closed, and the interior light will not turn off. I also cannot lock my doors. I end up driving with the interior light on because it will not go out. At night time, this is especially dangerous, not to mention it drains the battery by staying on when not being driven. When i exit the car and shut the door,…

Door ajar warning message on while driving or parked. Causes interior lights to stay on 10 minutes before turning off when parked. Interior lights will turn on and alarm horn will sound intermittently when parked. I pulled the fuse for the horn relay, don't know when it will sound. I feel it's unsafe to drive without a horn. While driving doors do not lock in fact they unlock after locking them with lock switch. *tr
