Drivers side door ajar warning light will not shut off, nor will the warning bell stop ringing. I was quoted a price in excess of $400.00 to replace a simple door latch assembly, by my ford dealer. I have researched this and this problem appears to have been going on for years! Truly unacceptable , unless of course your name is bill ford. Awful customer concern by them. *tr

I am having the same issues as hundreds of others have had and posted on the nhtsa site. The door ajar issue followed by the shift to park issue. I am curious with this many issues with the door latch failure, why isn't this a recall???? Very annoying to try to have something nice only for it to fail at 2 years old. Battery also went dead around 47000 miles and crashed my gps. Approximately $900 to fix the three…

The 2012 ford edge door sensor has gone bad in my car. Nothing happened or changed, but have read 100's of incidents online about this issue. It starts when opening and closing the door, and the door sensor light will not turn off. You open and close the door 1-2 times and it goes off. No big deal. Over time, you have to open and close 5-10 times to get the car to acknowledge that the door is shut. Not long after…

Please consider a…

Drivers side "door ajar warning" comes on very often and won't go off. Doesn't always come on immediately, but while on, won't allow doors to lock while driving. Very dangerous situation. When it comes on, not always in a position to stop immediately and put in park to reset . Must stop and repeat closing until it takes. Again very dangerous. Lastly, when exiting the auto if the sensor fails then the lights stay on…
