When you close the front driver's side door, the door ajar light remains on. All the interior lights still lit. They eventually go off once you start driving but when you stop it dings, telling you to put the vehicle in park due to the door being ajar. You can not lock any of the doors at all, which is a safety hazard. Due to this issue it can drain your battery if you don't shut the door over and over again until…

About a year ago, the driver door ajar light came on and will not go out. This has caused the battery to drain multiple times due to interior lights staying on all the time. Every time the vehicle comes to a stop, the "shift to park" warning comes on along with the door chime. Ford claims it was not under warranty and quoted ~$400 to replace (~$250 if it could be "repaired"). A few weeks ago, the rear passenger side…

The door ajar light stays on, even when the door is closed. This causes the interior lights to stay on, and prevents the doors from being locked. This is a safety hazard because the driver can't see out the windows at night. It started intermittently, and at first seemed to randomly appear and disappear. After about one month, it now stays on all the time.

Driver door sensor keeps telling me the door is ajar when it is not. It will do this while you are cruising down the freeway causing you to freak out thinking one of the kids has opening a door in the back seat! This will be the 2nd time i've had to take this in to be fixed since owning the car, which is coming up on one year.

Driver side door ajar issue. 2 years ago i had the issue, took it to the dealership to have the latch replaced because the car thought the driver side door was ajar. They replaced the latch and now i am having the same issue with the replacement latch on the driver side door. This doesn't allow the doors to be locked since the car thinks the doors are open. Also, interior lights come on. This can be a safety hazard…

My ford edge has all the problematic symptoms displayed by the shifter warning "shift into park" after the car is already in park. This is a well known situation and ford says it's not a safety issue. My car has now progressed to displaying this same message nearly every time we slow down to stop at an intersection then displays the message again as we accelerate to move through the intersection. With this…

The "door ajar" sensor seems to be broken intermittently causing the lights in the car come on (or not go off) making it difficult to see and very dangerous to drive. I nearly collided with a parked car when turning as the light came on. This is a clear safety issue and somebody is going to get killed because of it.
