Takata recall my passenger side "door ajar" light stays on at all times. This causes my battery to drain and prevents the car from locking. It also keeps the dome light on while driving which is a problem when driving at night. The doors will not lock which makes it very unsafe when in public - my children are in the car but it will not lock until it is driven for a distance. This does not help in a parking lot when…

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…

A warning light is displayed stating the passenger door is ajar when it is not. The door can be repeatedly opened and closed attempting to make the warning light go off, it does not work the majority of the time. The interior lights will not go off, which makes driving a hazard. Also, the door will not look when the warning light is on. Another safety concern. *tr

Door latch ajar warning. Doors are unable to stay locked. It is unsafe. The warning light for "door ajar" and "put gear in park" comes on nonstop while driving. The light stays on after parked for at least 20 minutes which drains battery. I went to the dealer and had to pay $615.91 to fix. I would like to be reimbursed for faulty locks. I am also afraid the other three are going to do the same thing.

The driver's door appears to close properly however a warning light stating that the door is ajar comes on. I open and close the 2 or 3 times with a hard slam and the light goes out. The car doors will not lock if this warning light is on. I am scheduled to have this repaired at the ford dealer at a cost of nearly $400. The dealer has told me that this is a recurring problem on the edge. The car has approx 42,000…

Frequently a warning light will come on stating that the collision warning censor is blocked. As a result the cruise control will not work and the collision warning feature is also not working. By pressing an 'ok' button the warning light goes away and the system seems to work properly. It appears that this warning light comes on after going over a bump but not all bumps. The dealer has quoted me a price of nearly…

Until i do, the seat does not move back for exiting. 2) "driver door ajar" error: have to open and close the door, sometimes only once, but usually many times in order to clear the error. 3) if the "door" error is not cleared, the "shift" error will appear while moving, whenever i come to a stop. Also, the audible signal will kick in.…

My ford edge,2012, had a "door ajar" warning and it required slamming the door very hard to get the warning removed. My lights would stay on after i parked and again require slamming the door multiple times. My back up camera will work and then not work making that safety feature unreliable! I had the door latch replaced at a cost of 325 dollars. Other ford products have also experienced these problems and are under…
