My driver side door latch seems to be failing. My door ajar light comes one when the door is closed. I'm not sure if it actually is or not. It has yet to open on its on, but upon some research it appears this could happen. When the driver side door says its ajar the doors won't lock. I've had to open and close my door a dozen times just to get the interior lights to shut off. This happens on a daily basis. I've also…

I have been having a problem with the driver's door of my '13 ford edge limited indicating that it is ajar (warning and interior lights on) when it is not. In order for it to quit, i have to either very firmly close the door (slam it) or open and close it a few times until it senses that it is in fact fully closed. It is also draining my battery because when i exit the vehicle sometimes the interior lights stay on.…

The door ajar light continues to stay on even when it is shut. This has happened for the front driver-side door and the back driver-side door. The front was fixed under warranty. I can not afford the back door to be fixed, and i shouldn't because this is an obvious defect! The vehicle is stationary and in motion when this is happening. I don't even open the door anymore as it takes about three days for the system to…

The driver door ajar switch/alarm remains on when the drivers door is firmly closed when stationary and when in motion. This causes the dome light to remain on which makes it hard to see, dangerous, to drive at night. The doors will not lock when driving which can be unsafe. This condition is constant on any type of street or any parking situation. My edge had around 31,000 miles when this problem started.

Driver door ajar light has started coming on regularly even though all doors are shut. Sometimes it happens while driving and i get a "shift to park" warning. I then have to pull over and slam the door shut several times to clear it. It's becoming a hassle and lights stay on so it drains the battery. This is a defect and ford should issue a recall and fix this issue. It's a safety hazard as far as i'm concerned. *tr
