The driver's side door ajar is constantly on. I have opened and shut the door multiple times and even tried to do what some youtube videos have shown. Dome light sometimes stays on after i park, sometimes goes off. I will have a dead battery and probably additional costs unless i want to pay $400+ to ford to fix this known issue.

When you start your car. A message comes on that doors are not closed. It happens randomly every time you drive the car. You can open and shut your doors. All the time. The car also randomly honks the horn and the lights all flash. We have changed the batteries in the remotes and it still happens. This has been going on for while.

There has been a service bulletin issued for a 'door ajar' warning when the car is started caused by the failure of the drivers door latch. This does not go out when the car is turned off. This results in the dome light staying on and draining the battery. Not repairing could result in the inability to lock the vehicle electronically. The failure usually occurs after 50k miles, leaving the owner to pay for a common…

The vehicle reports the driver side door is ajar when it is securely closed. This occurs when the car is stationary and in motion. It also occurs when the vehicle is not yet started. This results in audio and visual alarms while the car is running, and interior lighting which remains on for long periods when the car is turned off.

After researching ford edge research there were so many complaints of people having the same thing occur to them. My car will start and be driving then all of a sudden the car literally looses all power and the car shuts down. This has happened to me twice and it appears that ford doesn't want to issue a recall on this. People's lives are in danger, there is no warning of when this will happen and then you stuck…

Car has been having electric issues for a while. Usually detected once trying to start. First issue is the back up camera. That no longer works while in reverse. Screen indicated it is not available. We also recently had to replace the shifting column. After a trip of driving coming to a full stop shifting to park the car would not stay on "park". It would not catch the gear unless the button on the shift column was…

The warning 'driver door is ajar' is displayed on the dashboard even though the door is closed. This is an intermittent problem. The warning is displayed once the car is started and will remain on while the car is running. The next time the car is started, the warning may or may not display but it does not change while the car is running. I would estimate that the warning is displayed about 1/2 of the time the car…

Drivers side door ajar sensor is defective. At about 60k miles, the driver door ajar light stays on. Slamming the door repeatedly over a dozen times will sometimes turn the lights off. After googling the issue i see that it's a problem for hundreds of ford edge owners between the years 2011-2013. This should be considered a serious recall issue. This is my wife's car and she drives our daughter to school and…

Door ajar sensor lights up for drivers door when it is securely shut. This makes the dome light stay on and constant warnings place unnecessary strain on battery.
