The 'vehicle door ajar' warning on dash will not extinguish. This effects the interior door lights, the warning chimes, and the door locks. This problem is related to the drivers door latch assembly which has failed! *tr

Door ajar sensors/light doesn't indicate when doors are closed, and will come on for no reason when vehicle is driving. This causes the interior lights to illuminate and doors unlock/unable to lock. Very dangerous at night or when i drive with children in the car. *tr

Have had the same issues with both the driver door and rear passenger (drivers side) latch or sensor improperly working. Both door latches and or sensors malfunctions make the door ajar light in the instrument panel stay lit, and makes the overhead lights stay on. The interior light staying on makes it difficult to drive at night and also drains the battery.

My drive side door does not sense it is closed and the light stays on and the dome lights stay on longer. Periodically because the switch is saying the door is open, the dome light, headlights and rear lights will go on when nobody is in the car. *tr

The door ajar warning indicates the door is open when the door is actually closed tight. If you slam the door hard, the warning clears sometimes but may come back on without the door being opened. This is a poor alarm system design. Ford should take responsibility for the design and issue a recall. The original latch was replaced under warranty at about 30k miles. *tr

Driver door ajar warning remains on at all times. Even when door is securely slammed shut. This causes a warning to appear on the dash, the "dinging" continues every time the brake is released, the dome light remains on for a few minutes when beginning driving (dangerous at night) and remains on after exiting the vehicle (because it thinks the door is still open.) this has caused my battery to drain twice. The dome…

The driver door latch signals that the driver door is ajar when it is not. This prevents the door from locking and also affects the instrument panel display and interior lighting as well as the alarm system. *tr

The driver side door does not always register as closed. While driving at speed with the door securely closed it will display warnings on the dash, unlock all doors (including rear doors with my children in the backseats) and turn on the dome lights. This has happened when starting the car, while traveling and when parked and idling. It also means that i cannot lock my doors when i leave it parked. It causes…

Vehicle states "door ajar with all doors properly closed. Complaint is ongoing. Here is the issue. The interior lights are on and remain on until vehicle is going over 5mph in a forward gear. You totally lose visibility to back up. You cannot see anything to back up. It is difficult to seeing going forward to attain 5+ mph to turn off the interior lights. The problem is minimally annoying during daytime hours and is…

Drivers side "door ajar warning" comes on very often and won't go off. Doesn't always come on immediately, but while on, won't allow doors to lock while driving. Very dangerous situation. When it comes on, not always in a position to stop immediately and put in park to reset . Must stop and repeat closing until it takes. Again very dangerous. Lastly, when exiting the auto if the sensor fails then the lights stay on…

Nhtsa, this has happened a few times and its a bit annoying. When driving, or even parked, the door ajar light would come on for the driver side door even though the door is firmly closed. Once you reopen the door, and close it again, the light _may or may not_ turn off. This has not only affected me, and a close neighbor, however it also happened to a number of people as well. The fix, according to ford, is to…

Having a problem with the drivers side door. The door is completely shut but the door ajar light comes on. Have to slam the door several times and even then the door ajar warning comes on. I think this is a safety issue that should be looked into. Possible latch replacement. *tr

I purchased a 2012 ford edge used with 34,000 miles on it. At 39,000 miles i started receiving a "driver door ajar" warning even though the door was completely closed. Having researched this online i am finding multiple reports on message boards regarding this problem. The estimated repair cost is $250-$400 and requires a dealer part, the door latch module, to fix this. Some folks report spraying something like…

The drivers door ajar stays on all the time. You can't tell if the door is really ajar or not? I've read many complaints online about this problem in ford vehicles including the edge. The door ajar switch is part of the door latch assy and is not easy to get to or cheap to repair. *tr
