I see they recalled several years worth of vehicles of fords, just…

When shut, the door does not register as such. I have had to open/close it several times before the "door ajar" signal goes off. This issue has been progressively worsening, and now i believe the 'sensor' has completely failed. The door shuts, locks, and arms the alarm, yet the dome light and ajar symbol continue to stay on. Ford has told me this is a "wear and tear" issue that they will not cover! I have seen this…

The door sensor on front driver's side door does not work properly. I have to shut the door very hard several times before it says the door is closed. This can leave the interior lights running after the car is turned off and can cause problems with the door locking properly.

Driver door ajar warning stays on when door is closed, in park and in drive, and will not recognize the door is closed. Safety issue is lights stay on making it difficult to see when driving at night. It also does not shut off the overhead lights after exiting the vehicle, which has drained and ruined the battery(which i have replaced because i was left stranded several times) this vehicle has 54,000 miles on it.…

Driver's door switch malfunctioning causing vehicle to think left front door is ajar, even when it's securely latched. This causes the car to emit a constant warning chime while the key is in the ignition under any operating conditions: vehicle off, accessory, key on, not running, and in run. The chime also sounds each time the brake pedal is released after each stop, with the chime overriding the turn signal sound.…

The door ajar like stays on while door is closed. The door is closed. I have to open and close the door several times to get it to shut off. The inside light also stays on until the door ajar light goes off. The other doors do not lock while this is happening. This is a real safety hazard and should be fixed by ford under a recall

Driver's side door ajar light will not always go off when door closes. This causes interior lights to remain on going down the road and at night causes driver to not see as well. Also, doors will not automatically lock when door sensor doesn't work correctly which is worrisome in some parts of town. Many times dome lights may stay on for hours when door shows to be ajar. This of course causes battery to run down…

The driver door ajar light comes on and stays on. This causes the interior lights to stay on and the battery to drain. Also the doors will not lock/stay locked. This happens when initially starting the vehicle and has happened while driving. I believe the cause of the problem to be either in the sensor or the door latch itself. At first it seemed to happen at random, but now seems to be occurring more often. This…

Driver door alarm beeps when door is closed. Interior lights stay on. This occurred earlier this year and ford 'cleaned off' the sensor. Started to happen again several weeks ago. Ford is replacing the sensor, but we have to pay for this because the issue has not qualified for a recall. Please submit a complaint if this is happening to your 2013 ford edge.

When i close my drivers side door and start my 2013 ford edge, it thinks my door is ajar. This is a latch problem and the vehicle does not recognize that the door is closed. As a result, the doors will not lock. I have seen many complaints of this problem on the web. I am hoping that the nhtsa will force ford to recall these vehicles and fix the problem
