Drivers door ajar repeatedly comes on, dome light illuminates, message to put in park shows. Called ford motor co. Who reports no recall!! This is a safety issue as it prohibits door locking, turns on interior light during night driving. Ford advised that they didn't know if this would be covered by my extended warranty. How can that be? All they could do was give me a case number if it ever turns into a recall.…

I am now highly concerned about my 11 month old sitting in the…

At 46,000 miles the driver's side door sensor isn't operating properly. When the door is shut, the sensor thinks the door is open. This causes the interior lights to stay on until you get to more than 15mph. It also causes beeping from the warning indicator telling you to shift the vehicle into park. This sensor is part of the entire latch assembly & not covered under warranty after 36,000 miles. It is very…

Driver door ajar switch malfunctioning. Door ajar display message stays on while door is closed and the result is that the doors will not lock when the vehicle is moving. This is very unsafe!

Our 2012 ford edge dashboard indicates "door ajar" when the doors are completely shut. The problem is with the driver side door and will cause both the interior lights to remain lit and the factory alarm to activate. We paid the local ford dealer $135.60 (9/02/15 invoice attached) for their repair of the issue but the erroneous "door ajar" warning continues to occur. Now we treat the problem ourselves by scouring…

Receiving "driver door ajar" warning while driving, even though the door is secure. At one point i would lock the doors and as i drove the warning would sound and the locks would pop open. The door latch was replaced once before in 2012 by the dealer while still under warranty. Now the dealer wants to charge me several hundred dollars to replace it again.

The driver door ajar censor would not go off despite the fact that the door was actually closed. This caused my dome lights to stay on, the car symbol to stay illuminated on the panel, the doors to stay unlocked, and the warning tone to sound while driving. All of these issues occur while stationary and while in motion. I had the par replaced at the dealership for $387 and after one year and two weeks the problem…
