The drivers door ajar light stays on 90% of the time while driving down the road. When you shut the vehicle off and even if you remove the keys the lights all remain on as if you had the doors open and run the battery dead, only shows drivers door, all other door sensors are fine! I am an avid ford owner but i see so many others having the same issue, i hope to see a recall to fix this problem or our next vehicle…

The driver door says its ajar but actually is not, so if driving at night the dome lights are on witch is dangerous and the door locks will not lock if the vehicle system thinks it ajar. I think this should be recalled cause it is a safety issue #1 doors won't lock. #2 interior light won't go out if driving at night. *tr

We were on our way to texas from missouri. As we were traveling south on i35 a warning light came on the dash stating that the driver's door was ajar when it appeared to be shut. It then told us to shift to park and shut the door. We pulled over on i35 thinking it was something that we needed to do for safety reasons. My wife got out of the vehicle and was almost hit by a car at highway speeds. After shutting the…

I have been having issues with the driver's "door ajar" being on constantly. The door is clearly shut; however, there is a constant beeping warning that the door is open. Due to this warning, the car will not allow for the doors to be locked when the car is in motion. This is a major concern having two young children. In addition to the safety issue mentioned above, the dome light is now delayed from turning off…

Door · Electrical System
After closing the door then starting the vehicle the "door ajar" will not go off which notifies the driver to put the vehicle in park. I think this is a safety issue as the vehicle may not protect the driver and passengers in the event an accident occurs. I also noticed that when turning the vehicle off to get gas or etcetera, it keeps notifying you to put the vehicle in park. I think this is directly related to the…

The " driver door ajar" warning light remains on constantly. Being a senior citizen, i'm concerned about being car jacked when stopped because the door locks will not automatically activate when the warning light is on. Also, the interior lights remain on for a period of time which can alert a car jacker. The ford dealer estimate to repair the latch sensor is $470. *tr

Bought this edge and in less than a month later the "door ajar" light starting coming on. Almost a year later and still nothing has worked in fixing it. Dealer wants $400 to fix something that should be recalled by ford. Major safety hazard as you cannot lock the doors when you have this error. *tr

Drivers door latch faulty. Causes "door ajar" and "shift to park" warning lights even though door completely shut. Ignoring the warning light is dangerous. Under warranty ford's procedure is still to only clean the contacts and not replace the unit. This fault occurred again after they cleaned. *tr

The driver's door sensors intermittently have a "door ajar" warning, though each door is completely shut. The sensor is inside the latch, and has a very high failure rate, based on cursory internet research. The warning can occur while driving,and/or applying brakes. It alerts the driver to put the car in park. The doors will not lock (while driving) when the "door ajar" sensor light it on. This is a safety issue.…

The driver side door becomes ajar and you have to open and shut the door numerous times to have the alert go away. The dome lights stay on and at night this is a hazard. Also, every time you start to accelerate the car beeps and tells you to put the car in park, which is a huge distraction. *tr

While driving, at various speeds, the drivers side door warning comes up on the dash and a bell will ring saying that the door is ajar. Sometimes it says to put car in park. I open and close the door and it fixes the problem temporarily, only to happen again. Happening more and more frequently. *js

Door ajar light comes on when door is obviously closed. It can take up to 10-15 slams to get the light to go off. Annoying alert tone goes off until it's closed and dome light stays on. Also, car will not lock if door does not register as closed. This problem has persisted for over a year, but oddly goes away during the winter months. Just now, my windsheild wipers won't turn off. I don't know if these issues are…

This is the issue of door ajar light staying 'on' for the driver side front door. The door ajar light stays 'on' even though the door is properly shut. It was started as an intermittent issue but now the warning stays 'on' all the time and the instrument cluster shows the front driver side door stays open all the time. Every time i stop, the warning for door ajar comes on. I am not sure if this is a safety issue or…

Upon closing the drivers door, the cabin lights remained on and the 'door ajar' indicator lamp was illuminated on the dash. After repeated opening and closing of the door, the problem went away. This problem keeps happening once or twice a week. One time the problem occurred while driving at night, the cabin lights came on and startled me. This could have caused an accident due to sudden reduced visibility. I did…

Bought my car in february of 2014. (we were the 2nd owners. Not sure if previous owners experienced trouble before they traded the car in.) almost immediately we started having issues with "door ajar" lights staying on which caused the interior lights to stay on while driving down the road. It also doesn't allow the doors to lock themselves automatically when driving. We had sensors replaced by ford on both front…
