The "door ajar" warning light and bell stays on after the door is shut. This happened on my edge in january 2015. I took it to the ford dealer, and first they adjusted the door latch. That only lasted a couple of months. When i took it back, the dealer said that ford told them the latch would have to be replaced. The bill to replace the latch was $132.08, which i paid. That fixed my problem. I saw on the news today…

Door ajar signal stays on when door is closed which keeps the interior light on and prohibits the doors from locking while driving. This creates safety issues through the distraction of having the interior light constantly on and the doors not locking. Through online research, i've noticed that this is a very common problem for my type of vehicle and noticed that nothing has been done about it at this point.
