The driver door almost always reports that it is ajar despite the fact that it is closed. It will occasionally stop reporting the problem if i repeatedly open and close the door. This prevents the doors from locking while the vehicle is in motion and causes the interior lights to remain on in the vehicle when parked for about 10 minutes. The alert will also chime every time i start from a complete stop which is very…

Arriving home the evening of february 15, 2014 my two sons (both adults) smelled something burning when we got out of the car at our house. Upon inspection, they noticed the rubber cover over the positive post on the battery had melted slightly. I called the nearest ford dealer monday morning (2/17/14) to have them check it out. They discovered that the wrong circuit breaker assembly had been installed on the…

Door ajar light continually come on, which results in a warning light, doors won't lock, can set the alarm when parked. The door (driver side door) is clearly closed. This is the second ford edge (previous was a 2011 model) that has had the exact same problem. Clearly a trend and a design flaw. Previous switch went bad at just under 40,000 miles. *js

The driver's door and right rear 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, it alerts the driver to put the car in park. Ford categorizes the door ajar warning under 'safety' in its extended warranty plans, so i would conclude…

The door latch sensor does not work. As i am driving it detaches and signals to the car that the door is ajar while it is not. This cause the doors to unlock and the lights to turn on. While i am driving it becomes dangerous because the doors are not locked. Also, as one is driving and the lights turn on unexpectedly it could affect ones vision. Its seems it is a defect in door that is damaging the part. Many have…

We were returning home via i55 and i turned on the adaptive cruise control and the pre-collision system. Three times in the space of an hour, without any vehicle in front of us, the vehicle brake itself. There was a tractor and trailer next to us and cars behind us on the two lane highway. After the third incident i turned off the pre-collision system but left the adaptive cruise control on. Some time later with…

Door latch switch will not recognize that the door is shut. I took it in for warranty and ford sprayed it with lub. And said it would fine. Because of it everytime you brake there is a chime. You cannot lock the doors the pop open again. Dome lights will not go off and battery in car will go dead if you leave the keys in the ignition. I am concerned that the airbags will not deploy in an accident. I think that this…

The system is showing a "door ajar" alarm, drivers front door. Initially i thought it was just because i did not close the door enough so i just opened it, and pulled a little harder and the alarm went away. I drove the car for a few days and one morning when it was frosty i closed the door and the "door ajar" alarm posted again. I opened the door and closed it several times and the alarm went away. From this i…

The driver side door becomes ajar even when shut 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 not safe. Also, every time you start to accelerate the car beeps and tells you to put the car in park, which is a distraction. Also this prevents the doors from locking while the vehicle is in motion and causes the interior lights to remain on in…
