    Door latch did not properly signal whether or not the door was closed. Drove away on several occasions with a door that was not latched properly because the light was always giving a false signal that the door was open.

    There is water leaking into my ford edge leaving a puddle on my drivers side floor, completely saturating the carpet. The water is literally pooling on the floor under my feet. This happens when the car sits idle, undriven, when there is rain. It has nothing to do with an a/c leakage, condensation, etc. There is water leaking from the outside into my vehicle and has now resulted in rusting of my floorboard and…

    My driver side door ajar alarm is constantly activated, even when the door is shut tightly. Because the door ajar is always activated my car alarm has started going off randomly, so now i can no longer lock my car without fear that the alarm will be set off while i'm away from the vehicle. While driving the sensor for the door ajar keeps dinging, which is very distracting and causes confusion. It also refuses to go…

    The door open sensor comes on when i am driving when the door is actually closed and then the interior light comes on, it will also come on when i am parked when it is closed. I had it replaced within the last year and it is doing exactly the same thing again. Also when my edge is parked in the garage overnight it will smell like fuel in the mornings. It smells like there is a leak.

    My driver door ajar light stays on and will not lock the doors even though it is clearly shut completely. This allows the dome light to remain on also. After several times of opening and shutting it finally registers that it is closed. Had my mechanic look at it he cleaned it and lubed it which cleared it for a day but is doing it again. Looks like it needs a whole new door latch. I have found many complaints about…

    The door ajar sensor on the driver side door stopped working (making the car think the door was open when it was in fact closed). This prevents the car from locking while driving (a safety issue) and also causes the dome lights to remain on while driving (a further safety issue). It also causes the driver display to beep and make distracting popup menus while driving, which can distract the driver. I previously have…

    Driver door ajar light stays on even when door is closed. This prevents the interior light from going off. This is a safety concern while driving at night due to it causing visibility issues to have the light on. It also prevents the doors from automatically locking while driving which is a big safety concern. Anyone could open my car doors while stopped at a signal light or parked in parking lot. If you try to…

    Door latch incorrectly reports that the door is open when it is not. This turns the interior lights on and drains the battery, also will not let you turn on the alarm. Also makes you pull over to shut the door. Had it in for service twice and they fixed it, at lease for a little while, than it came back. Happens all the time, but not everytime.

    Door ajar light often stays on or suddenly comes on with the door closed. When it happens, the doors will not lock (or will unlock) and the interior light comes on. This makes it very difficult to see when it happens at night and nearly impossible to back up at night. It will sometime happen when the car is just sitting in the garage without the engine running and no passengers in it. I believe this is dangerous for…

    Driver door ajar warning sign and the door would not lock whether stationary or in motion. It poses a safety hazard as it prevents you from locking the doors while driving the vehicle. I had the same problem last year and i had it fixed at a local ford service center but the door latch sensor is malfunctioning again. There should be a recall for this part malfunction as it presents a safety hazard.

    With all doors closed securely, the door ajar warning sounds. It seems to be only the drivers door at this time. When the door ajar warning is active, the dome lights stay on, the doors will not lock, and there is a persistent chime that sounds. This happens when in park, in drive, and while travelling down the road. Car has been to dealer for this, once during warranty, and recently while out of warranty. Dealer…
