Door open indicator light comes on and will not turn off when the car is turned on. When this happens, you cannot lock the doors, which is a safety issue. The interior lights also stay on... Which makes it more difficult to drive at night (also a safety issue). This is the second time our car has had this issue. We had the door latch replaced the first time in 2014. It recently started occurring again on two doors…

The driver's door sensor is malfunctioning. It alerts you that the door is open when it is clearly shut and shut well. I believe it is the sensor. The sensor is in the door panel and not easily replaced. This problem causes the lights to not go off and door alert to stay on, in effect distracting the driver and misinforming them of a problem. This may affect the car doing other things if it thinks the door is open…

Soon after purchasing a used 2012 edge, the open door light on the dash came on and would not go off. All doors were closed. Also the doors would not lock when the light came on which became a safety hazard particularly when transporting children. Brought it to my mechanic and he said the door latch and light switch was one module and that it had to be replaced to the tune of about $500. Once replaced the problem…

Door ajar light stays on even after closing door several times. This causes the doors to stay unlocked and the dome light on. It also intermittently will turn on at night while just sitting in the driveway draining the battery. It is very dangerous to be driving around with the doors unlocked and with the dome light on at night.

My 2012 ford edge has driver and rear doors ajar indicators are on the dash, closing the door repeatedly does not correct the problem. The car keeps telling me to shift to park. The door switch is a module inside the door. This is bad. When you park the car and lock it the light stays on exposing the inside of the car. This is unacceptable and need to be fixed or removed completely.
