While driving on the city street, the driver door ajar warning is displayed on the digital instrument panel, along with instructions to shift the vehicle into park and the dome lights being turned on. Opening and closing the door will make the warning go away for a few minutes, but it invariably returns before much time passes. This happens while the vehicle is stationary as well. *tr

The driver door ajar light comes on and stays on. This causes the interior lights to stay on and the battery to drain. Also the doors will not lock/stay locked. This happens when initially starting the vehicle and has happened while driving. I believe the cause of the problem to be either in the sensor or the door latch itself. At first it seemed to happen at random, but now seems to be occurring more often. This…

My driver side door flew open while i was turning almost causing an accident. As mentioned in many other complaints, i too have the issue of the driver side light displaying "ajar". Because of this almost accident, i now open and close the door as many times as it takes to make sure the latch is close and the light is off. My life matters.

I have been dealing with this door latch sensor issue for the duration of my ownership on my ford edge. I don't see how it is possible that our vehicles meet nhtsa standard federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 206, door locks and door retention components. The testing for that standard would have been done in a laboratory, and it is apparent that contaminants out in the field are making their way into…

Door ajar sensor stays on even when the door is closed. Interior lights stay on while i'm driving causing dangerous conditions at night. Chimes "door ajar every time i let off the brakes which is very distracting. Door will not lock when the keys are in the ignition because the car thinks the door is open. This is all very distracting and unsafe. Ford needs to recall this before someone gets in an accident or robbed…

The car cannot recognize when the driver's door is closed. The light panel will show door open, a light will come on telling me the door is open, shift into park, and if i am driving, sounds will chime until i park. The door occasionally will be recognized as closed, but 80% of the time, it will not. I,was told at the dealer that the problem is common in fords and they need to replace the latch mechanism in the door.

2013 ford edge sel with 33000 miles, driver door ajar warning light stays on even after closing the door several times. It keeps the interior lights on while driving, continously warns driver with door open messages on dashboard even when it's door is closed. I believe this issue also drained my car battery since i had to replace it back in sept 2016. Ford please recall and fix this issue asap.

I cannot lock the doors when this happens causing a very unsafe travel along…
