    The driver side door sensor will not recognize the door is shut. This is causing the interior lights to remain on during the night time and the doors cannot lock. My child is able to open the door while moving causing a major safety issue. Ford is aware of the problem when we took it in and knows this is a defect, but will not address the issue. The require us to pay 300-500 dollars to fix. Please make them recall…

    While driving - even though the driver door is completely shut, the driver door ajar warning sign appears on the dashboard screen accompanied by the sound of a chime. Sometimes when you open and shut the driver door whether while still driving or if and when you find a side of the road space, the warning sign disappears. But oftentimes, it takes 3 or four tries to make it disappear. Sometimes the driver door ajar…

    The door ajar warning light continued to stay on even after closing the driver side door. We "googled" the situation and found out that many owners of ford edge vehicles have reported this problem. We took it to a dealership to get repaired. We did have an extended warranty, but ended up paying $150 diagnostic fee. The total cost was $459.00 (extended warranty paid). After reading the blogs about this repair, we…

    Door ajar sensor indicates door is ajar when it clearly is not. This makes locking the doors impossible and causes the interior dome lights to illuminate. Car is less than 2 years old. Apparently, this is a problem with the switch assembly across numerous ford vehicles. *js

    I have been having issues with the driver's "door ajar" being on constantly. The door is clearly shut; however, there is a constant beeping warning that the door is open. Due to this warning, the car will not allow for the doors to be locked when the car is in motion. This is a major concern having two young children. In addition to the safety issue mentioned above, the dome light is now delayed from turning off…

    After closing the door then starting the vehicle the "door ajar" will not go off which notifies the driver to put the vehicle in park. I think this is a safety issue as the vehicle may not protect the driver and passengers in the event an accident occurs. I also noticed that when turning the vehicle off to get gas or etcetera, it keeps notifying you to put the vehicle in park. I think this is directly related to the…

    The driver's door sensors intermittently have a "door ajar" warning, though each door is completely shut. The sensor is inside the latch, and has a very high failure rate, based on cursory internet research. The warning can occur while driving,and/or applying brakes. It alerts the driver to put the car in park. The doors will not lock (while driving) when the "door ajar" sensor light it on. This is a safety issue.…

    The driver side door becomes ajar and you have to open and shut the door numerous times to have the alert go away. The dome lights stay on and at night this is a hazard. Also, every time you start to accelerate the car beeps and tells you to put the car in park, which is a huge distraction. *tr
