    Our ford edge door latch continues to fail stating the door is open. The alarm sounds frequently and distracting to the driver. I took the car in multiple times and ford would only authorize a cleaning. Finally the car went out of warranty and i had the part replaced. Ford has acknowledge this as a problem. The problem is very dangerous as the warning sound distracts the driver.

    The door ajar sensor in my ford edge always read as open, even when the door was closed. Because of this, the interior dome lights stay on even when i am not in the car, draining the battery. Also, the doors will not lock when i am in the car, causing a security concern depending on where i am driving. I bought a new latch mechanism to replace the faulty one. When i removed the faulty one, i noticed that it had…

    The door ajar comes on when the door is completely shut. The safety of my children are a concern because the doors do not lock and you can't manually lock the doors. You can slam your door 100 times but it still stays on. This happens when my vehicle is parked and in motion.

    The "door ajar" light stays on even when the door is shut securely. When this happens, the interior lights stay on and the doors will not lock while driving. This is very dangerous, particularly if you have children in the car. We had this fixed once for over $150 at a dealership. Now less than a year later we are having the same issue.
