Also when trying to use the keypad to lock the car from the outside sometimes it won't lock. The door ajar light is inconsistent, sometimes it will stay on, other times it will turn…

In 2015 we took our edge in to the shop because the door ajar indicator would still be on when the door was closed. This would not allow the doors to lock going down the road and would have an annoying message telling me to shift to park as i came up to a red light. They said that they could clean it and that should fix it but that would only be temporary and that they would probably eventually replace the switch.…

The driver side door latch is defective. The door is ajar like stays on when door is fully closed. Inside cabin and dome lights stay on which creates a hazard at night. More importantly the doors will not lock with the "door is ajar" signal on. This really concerns me because my wife (whose car it is) can be subject to a potential carjacking or robbery. Additionally it poses a threat to my grandchildren because we…

Driver side door ajar sensor stays on while door is closed (in motion, idle and off), resulting in the battery to be drained if left off too long. This has left me needing to get a jump if out and multiple times charge my battery if it sits too long.

The driver side latch and door ajar sensor are defective. The car does not properly register that the door is closed. This forces the door ajar light and sound to repeatedly go off. This also keeps the dome light on when shutting the door thus killing the battery. Also, you are not able to lock the doors and this is a safety issue with kids and with items in the car being stolen.

Driver door ajar around 40k plus miles we started getting this issue. Even when the door is close it keeps saying "driver door ajar". It won't lock the door because of this. Even when you parked and turn off the engine once you try to lock the door it won't. This may cause potential battery damage or worst people can just simply open your door when you are in a stop while on the road. Apparently i am not the only…

Took to ford dealer and was charged for repair. Quite expensive for me to pay for what ford should be paying for. I understand that are quite a large number of owners with the same problem.

The switch that controls the circuit that detects if the driver door is closed or not is defective. An internet search shows this is a common issue on these vehicles. It is a safety issue in that the doors will unlock (including the rear doors) automatically while the vehicle is in motion. Also, due to the vehicle believing the door is open, it will drain the battery and leave the car unable to start after parking.…

The doors will not lock while driving and there are kids in this car. Can't lock doors or set your alarm when leaving your car=theft. I did the recall june 6, 2015 and now it's happening again. Brought it to ford today june 2, 2016 and quoted fix price…

During acceleration a strong exhaust odor enters the passenger compartment. The ford service at the dealer stated that ford has issued a bulletin stating that the body seams in back near the rear bumper need to be resealed, vents replaced and a fuser used to seal the body. This seems to me to be a safety issue - allowing dangerous exhaust fumes to enter the passenger compartment. Ford refuses to correct this at…
