Driver door adjar notification won't go off even though all doors are closed. This prevents doors from locking while driving causing safety hazard. Also causes the interior lights stay on while driving causing safety hazard at night. Sometimes interior lights won't go off at all even after the car has been turned off for hours.

Door ajar light stays on with door shut. Dome light stays on so you are blinded at night. Cant lock doors so it is unsafe. Started doing it at 19000 miles. Ford would not fix it. Looks like thousands of people have the same problem. *tr

I purchased my car 9/23/14. My passenger and left rear doors continue to indicate doors ajar when they're indeed closed. This has caused me to replace my battery twice in 2yrs. Extremely costly and frustrating! Because the interior lights stay on, it's draining my battery!!! We as customers need ford to do their part as a reparable manufacturer and take care of this grossly defective part! I'm a woman and a mother,…

The door sensor erroneously indicates door ajar. This prevents the door locks from actuating and allows children to accidentally open door when moving. Also the dome lights stay on at hours of darkness, impeding visibility. *tr

After closing door, the dome lights and door ajar indicator on instrument cluster would illuminate. I would have to slam the door several times to get the dome light and door ajar light indicator light to extinguish. The problem is worse in colder weather. *tr

It seems the door latch is defective as many edge owners have had this issue. The "door ajar" light comes on & you have to open & close the door to resolve it. After several occurences, it does not go off by simply opening & closing the door. *tr
