The front driver side door ajar switch is malfunctioning. The door does not 'know' it is closed. Sometimes slamming it works, sometimes not. Did some online research and this is a very common issue and the fix is very expensive. Many mechanics think it should be recalled.

Driver door ajar sensor failing. Even though the driver door is fully closed and locked, the dash reports the door is ajar. Causes dome lights to stay on, chimes to sound, and drains battery. Cleaning and oiling with silicon spray helps some, but is a temporary fix at best. Ford dealer wants over $600 to replace latch assembly. *tr

The sensor on the driver's side door to detect door closure malfunctions repeatedly and does not register that the door is closed even if the door latch is in proper position. This creates a significant safety hazard in that the doors cannot be fully locked (significant crash safety risk) while driving or stopped at a stoplight (personal security risk, remains able to open door from the exterior). This is a…

My 2013 edge is new within the past 2 years and it is currently under lease. The door ajar notification is being triggered constantly which in turn affects other mechanisms or electrical systems in the car. The inability for the driver side door to close triggers cab lights, the door ajar lights, and the locking of doors. These issues can occur while stationary/parking and at various speeds while driving...at night…

Electrical System
After entering vehicle and securely closing driver door, the door ajar sensor indicates the door is not latched. Opening and closing the door several times usually will eventually rectify the problem. Sometimes the door ajar sensor will trigger while driving for no apparent reason. This has also happened twice when rolling up the driver-side windows as the window just reaches the closed position. *tr

The drivers door ajar switch gives false ajar indications. This causes the dome lights to stay on which is a night time driving safety hazard. The false reading prevents the driver for seeing any valid ajar situations. With the dome lights on, creates an unsafe environments when sitting in the car at night in a public area. The doors will not lock when sitting in the car. *js

Door ajar light remains on repeatedly when door is correctly shut. This is a recurring problem that typically happens daily. Due to the false door ajar warning, the vehicle may be driven with the door ajar warning on. If the door were actually ajar, this could cause a safety risk. Vehicle doors cannot be locked when door ajar warning is present. This could present a safety risk if doors need to be locked. *tr
