Door ajar light comes on when all doors are closed while driving, after exiting the vehicle. It appears to be related to the driver's door. I have to close the door several times and very hard. In fact, i have to slam it so hard i fear i may break the window. It is a tremendous safety issue. All the doors will unlock while driving because the sensor is not registering. This is my second time dealing with this…

What started out as a random message is now a daily message and i have to open and close doors repeatedly in an attempt to get rid of the message. Night driving is no longer an option as i am blinded by interior lights when i can't get the…

I have a 2013 ford edge sport edition that has had issues with the door sensors showing that the door is a-jar. This started to occur shortly after we purchased the car in september of 2013. It has progressively gotten worse to where the dash panel continuously shows that one of the doors is a-jar, even when open and closing the door continuously several times to try to clear the warning message. This is a safety…

The driver side door latch has failed resulting in inability to lock the doors while the vehicle is in motion. Additionally, as the door is not being sensed as being closed, the interior lights remain on along with the door ajar light. This drains the battery. The inability of the doors to not stay locked as a result of this latch failure is a safety issue.

On 9/6/16 i had to have the left rear door latch replaced because it caused a 'door ajar' light to come on. When this happens the doors won't lock and the interior lights won't go off at the proper time. Now two months later the left front door latch needs to be replaced for the same problem.

Door ajar warning comes on and will not go off. Interior lights remain on and none of the vehicle locks will latch because vehicle believes a door is ajar, when in fact it is not. The issue began about 2 weeks ago (october 10, 2016). I was able to open and shut door to turn the senor off the first few times the door ajar light came on and that solved the problem...temporarily. At this point the door ajar light…

Ford edge 2013 problem with sensor or other causing driver door alarm to activate after door is shut. Dome lights stay on; door is completely shut but message states that "driver door is ajar". Message and alarm sometimes comes on when driving. Sometimes takes several tries repeatedly shutting door to get alarm and lights to turn off. This should be a recall. Problem has occurred several times in the past week. *tr

The driver door ajar light would not turn off with the door closed. This prevents the door locks from working while the car is in motion, including the rear doors where the baby seat is located. This could allow a child to open the door while in motion. Also, the interior lights shine on the windshield at night making i difficult to see oncoming traffic at night.

My driver door no longer registers as 'closed' when it is in fact closed. This problem has progressively worsened for a couple months. The problem with the door not registering as latched and closed means that you are unable to lock the door while the car is running. Every time you attempt to lock it automatically unlocks it. At this point i have removed all interior lights (that stay on) so i can operate the…

Suddenly the vehicle no longer registered one of the doors as being closed. It always had the door ajar warning on the screen and the dome lights stayed on and doors wouldn't lock while driving as if a door was open. This made it difficult to drive at night because all the lights would be on in the car. Also, my 4 year old was able to reach and open the door while the car was in motion so i had to take the car into…

I have been dealing with this door latch sensor issue for the duration of my ownership on my ford edge. I don't see how it is possible that our vehicles meet nhtsa standard federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 206, door locks and door retention components. The testing for that standard would have been done in a laboratory, and it is apparent that contaminants out in the field are making their way into…
