    The driver door latch is getting replaced as it tells us that the door is open when it is not. I have been told by the dealership that they have seen this happen in a lot of ford edge's. It is costing me $350.00 and i would like my money back from ford. I don't believe that a 2013 should be having those kind of issues and ford should fix the issue. *tr

    The passenger side door ajar light stays on and the interior lights even when the door is shut. I have to slam the door hard 4-5 times to get it to go off. While driving down the road the light will come on and the alert to "shift to park". I took it to a ford dealer who charged me $80 to say there was nothing wrong. I came home, knowing this wasn't right and found numerous complaints online about the same issue.…

    Driver door ajar sensor does not recognize that door is closed. This prevents all doors from being in the locked position while operating the vehicle. Manually locking the doors is overridden by the system and automatically unlocked. Annoying alarm always going off while driving or idle. Not known if sensor malfunction or door not actually closed properly. Should be recalled for repair. *tr

    Drivers door latch faulty. Causes "door ajar" and "shift to park" warning lights even though door completely shut. Ignoring the warning light is dangerous. Under warranty ford's procedure is still to only clean the contacts and not replace the unit. This fault occurred again after they cleaned. *tr

    The driver side door lock, specifically the door ajar sensor, started malfunctioning after approximately one year of ownership. This causes a safety concern because as long as the door ajar error appears on the message window, the computer will not allow any of the doors to lock. I am concerned that the occupant(s) could be ejected from the vehicle in the event of a crash or a rollover. Additionally, the dealer…

    The driver door almost always reports that it is ajar despite the fact that it is closed. It will occasionally stop reporting the problem if i repeatedly open and close the door. This prevents the doors from locking while the vehicle is in motion and causes the interior lights to remain on in the vehicle when parked for about 10 minutes. The alert will also chime every time i start from a complete stop which is very…

    The driver's door and right rear door sensors intermittently have a "door ajar" warning, though each door is completely shut. The sensor is inside the latch, and has a very high failure rate, based on cursory internet research. The warning can occur while driving, it alerts the driver to put the car in park. Ford categorizes the door ajar warning under 'safety' in its extended warranty plans, so i would conclude…
