The drivers side door alarm always goes off. Constant dinging, and the interior lights remain on. I have had to replace 1 battery already. Driving at night, especially in reverse, is terribly difficult with the lights on. The door is securely shut, however, that does not stop the alarm. The other issue i've had is the brake booster. I thought it was just the brakes so got those fixed and then stopping was near…

Both the drivers side rear passenger door and the front passenger door closed sensors stopped working. The door ajar sensor is always on which causes the interior lights to stay on and the door locks to unlock while at highway speeds. This happens 100% of the time. The interior lights do go out once i reach 10 mph but there is no visibility when backing up at night making it dangerous for me and anyone that might be…

Driver door remains ajar no matter what we do. Interior lights stay on. Safety concern because one never knows if door is really closed properly or not! Interior lights can drain battery. Dealer repaired about 15 months ago. Same problem returned. Very expensive.

Drivers door ajar light wont go off no matter what i do to it. Causing the dome light to stay on while driving and not being able to lock the doors at all. I contacted my local ford dealer and they told me to try cleaning it with some wd 40 and if that doesn't work to bring it in and they will run some tests on it which would cost me over 300 bucks and then they would go ahead and change the door latch which would…

The door ajar warning stays on even when door is closed. At night, the interior lights stay on for 30 seconds- reducing visibility. When driving in slow traffic or after moving from a stop, vehicle beeps and says to shift into park, and then vanishes. Distracting and annoying! Mileage at 66k.

I was driving home from work and the driver information center displayed "driver door ajar" when the door was definatly shut and locked. After a few minutes this alarm went away and it returned a few days later on my way to the store. The frequency of this problem has been increasing and now my car alarm sounds off seemingly at will, mid-day or midnight because the computer thinks someone opened the door without the…

Sometimes when i put the car into park, i get repeated warnings to "shift to park". If i don't jiggle the button on the shift knob, my seat and other electrical components will not respond. I have to start the truck a few times, put it through the gears (in drive and reverse), then i press the shift release button several times then the warning stops and my driver seat functions to allow me to get out of the car.…

Known problem with ford edge based on numerous complaints. Driver side door ajar sensor goes off crippling door lock mechanism. Not only do lights stay on draining battery but unable to lock door presents safety problem. Ford has a tsb for electrical cleaning but that is not effective over time. Problems repeats itself with only known fix to be door latch replacement.

The driver door ajar sensor light is faulty. The sensor light will not go off and therefor the doors do not lock and the dome light does not go off. Took my car to the dealership and as soon as i told him the problem he told me what kind of car i was driving. This tells me that i'm not the only one with this problem. I feel as though there should be a recall as there is some danger that the doors do not lock.

Intermittent, the door ajar light comes on-when the door is really closed-it makes the dome lights stay on and the doors will not lock. This is referring the passenger door behind the driver. No matter how many times i open and shut-it still shows that it is open. ..updated 10/06/15 *bf updated 11/08/2017*cn

Door ajar light stays illuminated when door is closed. This causes a distraction to the drive because the interior lights stay illumined when driving. Very serious and the dealer wants over 650 to fix the issue.

Typical "door is ajar" error message. Upon closing the door, the error message "door is ajar" pops up and the dome lights stay on with the chimes ringing. I also have a problem with the error message "shift to park". I believe these could be related. Ford dealer replaced the switch assembly but this didn't solve my problem. This needs recalled as thousands are experiencing this saftey issue with this vehicle!

[xxx] without injury or change by us to the car, the "door ajar" warning began showing up in the instrument panel. The door is securely closed. The warning is on the panel, the warning beep is sounding, and the interior light remains on until you drive forward about 30 feet. This makes backing out of parking spaces, driveways, etc difficult because there is no way to see where you are going because of the bright…

Whenever i entry the vehicle and attempt to close the drivers door, the door ajar warning light comes on. If i don't continue to close the door (at least 4 times) the dome light stays on. The car tells me to put the car in park. When i lock it with the remote, it will beep twice instead of once, a warning that the car is not secure. I can no longer lock or unlock the drivers side by using my hand if the key is on my…
