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.
