Driver door ajar light would not go off, even though the door seemed to be closed. Thus doors would not lock and occasionally warning lights would flash, distracting me as i drove. I took the car to my local ford dealer and was told it was a faulty front door latch, which they replaced for $425.65. See #2 on the attached.

Drive's side door ajar warning light constantly displays. Interior lights will not dim because car thinks door is open when latch is secure. In addition, doors cannot be locked. As a woman who travels a lot and gets in her car, alone, often late at night, i do truly believe this to be a terribly safety issue!!! Dome lights often remain on even when car is off a no one is in it. I fear it could drain the battery dead…

Vehicle continues to alarm drivers door ajar even though it is shut, i am told it is a common issue with the door latch sensor, because of this the vehicle does not sense that the door is shut, it continues to ding and flash between "driver door ajar" and "shift to park" because of this, none of the doors lock and the interior lights stay on (very troublesome at night)

Door ajar comes on while the door is closed and you have the open and close the door more than 50 times for it to go off ......ford needs to redesign or replace sensors/ door lock mech. Especially not even being 2,000 miles after replacement and from what i've read online with other ford edge owners and other ford vechical owners this is a very common problem
