Driver door sensor does not register that door is closed (says door is ajar) and automatic locks will not lock as a result. Touch lock and unlock will not respond unless sensor registers that door is fully closed. Dome lights remain lit because the vehicle thinks the door is open making it difficult to see when driving at night. Ongoing issue since february 2016.

I am the owner of a 2013 ford edge. The driver door ajar light keeps coming on when the door is securely shut. The interior lights remain lit and doors will not lock. Sometimes it will go off after repeatedly slamming the door shut but not always. I feel this is a danger because of driving at night with the light on. I also have children in the car that could possibly open the door while the car is going.
