The battery was going dead when vehicle left off and parked overnight. The gear shift is not communicating that the vehicle is in park and the displays would come on and drain the battery overnight. The error was mis-diagnosed and a new battery was purchased. The issues continued and the dealership states it is the gear shifter wiring. This should be a recall item, there is nothing to be done in normal daily use…

Door sensor is not working properly. "door ajar" notice continues to stay on, even though the doors are all closed. It appears this issue is not under warranty and will cost several hundred dollars to repair at the dealership. *tr

Summary: driving and message appears on dash cluster telling me that my driver door ajar and dome light comes on and doors won't lock! Called dealership and no recall issued but cost of repair is a ridiculous $300-$500! Apparently there are a lot of similar complaints like this all over the place and the dealership even said that its very common issue with the edge. I feel that this is unsafe while i'm driving with…

Driver side front door, door ajar light says on. Have to slam the door several times to get it to turn off and some times that does not even work. This seems to be a common problem with these vehicles. *tr

The driver side door ajar sensor is malfunctioning. Even though door appears closed, the sensor indicates it is not closed. This results in the dome lights being on, even when driving at night, making it difficult to see the road. It also regularly tells me to put the car into park, even when driving 65 mph down the road. *tr

Electrical System
Instrument panel continuously reports driver's door is ajar when it is closed. This prevents the doors from locking (can't prevent children from opening doors while vehicle is in motion). Also, this causes the instrument panel to continuously ask the driver to shift to park when coming to a stop. Also, this causes the interior lighting to fail to dim until the car is in forward motion. *tr

Door ajar indicator does not go off after passenger door is closed. Car is less than 3 years old but out of warranty due to mileage. Therefore, dealer charged $430 to fix. Thanks and goodbye ford! *tr

Door latch on driver side doesn't work properly. Door ajar light is on even when door is closed, so lights in the car stay on and doors can't be locked. Beeping signal is always on as is safety shift to park warning. Very unsafe and distracting. I have to mention that this was"fixed" under warranty but came back shortly after again.

Door ajar sensors/light doesn't indicate when doors are closed, and will come on for no reason when vehicle is driving. This causes the interior lights to illuminate and doors unlock/unable to lock. Very dangerous at night or when i drive with children in the car. *tr

Drivers door ajar alert will not turn off. Computer says to put car in park and shut door. This does not resolve the door ajar error. *tr a second problem is now occurring; the back up camera message is asking if you want it on. I have always had mine on, so why is it continually asking. A third peculiar behavior i'm noticing is that when you put the car in park, and shut the engine off, if you had the radio on, it…

The drivers side door ajar light/warning appears even though the door is fully closed. This prevents all doors from locking. There are times when the warning is not on but after a passenger closes the passenger side door the drivers side door ajar warning turns ons. I have had this issue serviced once by ford but it is not happening again. Ford issues a service bulletin but that appears to be only a stop gap measure…

The warning signal "shift to park" and "drivers door ajar" is constantly on. It was intermittent for the past two months, but now it is constantly on, no matter how hard i slam the door. So i have to drive with the warning signals and bells. The doors do not lock when i'm driving. I cannot lock my car when i leave it, as the lights inside will not go off. I think ford needs to issue a recall on this. *tr

A message warning "shift to park" appears on the car dashboard when the car has already been put into park position. This warning message disallows the driver to turn the car off - shut of the engine. The car is already in park and message light continues to be on display on dashboard. *tr

Have had the same issues with both the driver door and rear passenger (drivers side) latch or sensor improperly working. Both door latches and or sensors malfunctions make the door ajar light in the instrument panel stay lit, and makes the overhead lights stay on. The interior light staying on makes it difficult to drive at night and also drains the battery.

While driving at 45mph, vehicle lost power to the extent that i had to pull over on the shoulder. A mechanic wrench light appeared on the dash. Vehicle remained running but idle was very erratic.

Door ajar light for driver's door keeps going on and we are unable to lock the doors (and the door is latched). It is a distraction to have the warning light go on indicating you should put the vehicle in park. When minor children are passengers this is a safety concern because the doors cannot be locked. There should be a recall on this since a large volume of complaints on this issue are being filed. *tr
