Drivers door latch. Door is closed and door ajar alarm stays on causing battery drain if you don't get it to go off.

Vehicle was in motion when all systems, including power steering stopped during a left turn. Upon inspection, battery was dead. Prior to this, the "door ajar" warning indicator was light, despite the door being latched. Certified ford service center said that the door was indeed latched, so there was no safety issue there. However, didn't inform that it would drain battery. Occasionally, the vehicle parking…

A couple weeks ago the "door ajar" warning light appeared. I've repeatedly checked the condition of the doors and light doesn't go off. I've read of the problem on line and it seems to be a common issue, expensive to repair, and known to cause issues with the battery life and operation of the locking/electrical system.

I have a 2013 ford edge which began experiencing intermittent issues with the driver door ajar switch at approximately 50k miles. The switch was repaired by a ford dealer at approximately 61k miles and within 6 months began to reoccur. Now a year later at 79k miles it comes and goes most everyday it is driven. Some days it is when you first get in the vehicle, other days it may suddenly unlock the doors at highway…

A warning panel declaring that the driver's side door is ajar comes up when the door is not ajar whether we are driving or stationary. Also, another panel directs me to put the vehicle in park when accelerating from a stop. When the door is ajar the interior lights come on which is dangerous at night because it diminishes visibility. It is a safety defect.

My 2013 ford edge keeps telling me my drivers side door is ajar, it keeps beeping when i am driving, the doors will not lock and the interior lights stay on. The interior lights stay on when i try and lock the car when i arrive home and they don't go off and drain the battery. I only have 25,900 miles on my car and i feel that this is a safety issue and should be a recall.

Driver door sensor will randomly say that the driver door is ajar. It also automatically turns the dome lights on as part of the alert which is in turn burning up my battery. I am unable to lock the vehicle when the sensor is malfunctioning which causes safety issue by leaving my vehicle unlocked. This is a major issue.

1. The 'door ajar' sensor is telling the car that the door is always open. As a result, the interior lights stay on all the time, which causes visibility issues while driving at night. It also leaves the lights on even after the engine is turned off and doors are locked, which drains the battery, and has caused my wife to be stranded a couple of times. We replaced the switch and a year later, we are having the same…

You can be driving and the door ajar light will come on which turns the interior lights on making driving at night very difficult due to the unexpected lighting that reduces visibility greatly at an instance. Also it may take several attempts closing the door to get the door ajar light to go out causing one to wonder if the door is truly closed or not.
