2012 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

DOOR AJAR AND LATCH ISSUE *DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSE *INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYS ON *INABILITY TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN VEHICLE *FAULTY LATCH THESE SAFETY ISSUES ARE ALL ONE ISSUE THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES AND ARE ALL ONE ISSUE. THE DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON AND CREATES A NIGHT DRIVING HAZARD. THE DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON AND CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN SITTING IN A PUBLIC AREA AT NIGHT. THE FALSE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM RECOGNIZING A REAL DOOR AJAR SITUATION VERY DANGEROUS. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE WARNING LIGHTS OF PARKING COMES UP

WHENEVER I ENTRY THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DRIVERS DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. IF I DON'T CONTINUE TO CLOSE THE DOOR (AT LEAST 4 TIMES) THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. THE CAR TELLS ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. WHEN I LOCK IT WITH THE REMOTE, IT WILL BEEP TWICE INSTEAD OF ONCE, A WARNING THAT THE CAR IS NOT SECURE. I CAN NO LONGER LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DRIVERS SIDE BY USING MY HAND IF THE KEY IS ON MY PERSON. I CAN DO THAT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY ALARM GOES OFF AS MY CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY. I HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. IT IS A FAULTY DRIVER DOOR SWITCH. SPEAKING WITH FORD DIRECTLY AND THE DEALER, I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY....

DOOR SENSOR DOES NOT ALLOW DOOR TO LOCK. DASH INDICATES DOOR IS NOT CLOSED AND TELLS YOU TO PUT VEHICAL IN PARK. PROBLEM CONTINUES TO COME BACK. DEALER HAS HAD IT 5 TIMES. THEY WILL NOT REPLACE SENSOR.... JUST CLEAN IT. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYED "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WHEN THE DOOR WAS DEFINATLY SHUT AND LOCKED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THIS ALARM WENT AWAY AND IT RETURNED A FEW DAYS LATER ON MY WAY TO THE STORE. THE FREQUENCY OF THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN INCREASING AND NOW MY CAR ALARM SOUNDS OFF SEEMINGLY AT WILL, MID-DAY OR MIDNIGHT BECAUSE THE COMPUTER THINKS SOMEONE OPENED THE DOOR WITHOUT THE KEY. LAST NIGHT IT WAS GOING OFF AT 4AM. I AM CONCERNED THAT INTERELATED SAFETY EQUIPMENT MIGHT NOT FUNCTION BECAUSE THE COMPUTER THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. THIS PROBLEM ALSO PREVENTS THE AUTO-LOCK FUNCTION FROM WORKING, SO SOMEONE COULD OPEN MY DOOR AT A REDLIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC. THE REPAIR BILL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS JUST OVER FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. THIS IS CLEARLY AN EXAMPLE OF INFERIOR PARTS COSTING THE DEFENSELESS CONSUMER MONEY AND FORD...

[XXX] WITHOUT INJURY OR CHANGE BY US TO THE CAR, THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING BEGAN SHOWING UP IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED. THE WARNING IS ON THE PANEL, THE WARNING BEEP IS SOUNDING, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINS ON UNTIL YOU DRIVE FORWARD ABOUT 30 FEET. THIS MAKES BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES, DRIVEWAYS, ETC DIFFICULT BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING BECAUSE OF THE BRIGHT LIGHT. LUBRICATING THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY DOES NOTHING TO HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE DOOR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED SECURELY. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

INTERMITTENT, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON-WHEN THE DOOR IS REALLY CLOSED-IT MAKES THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS REFERRING THE PASSENGER DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I OPEN AND SHUT-IT STILL SHOWS THAT IT IS OPEN. ..UPDATED 10/06/15 *BF UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED WHEN THE DOOR WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE INTERNAL DOME LIGHTS TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. ALSO, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DOORS FAILED TO STAY LOCKED WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SENSOR INSIDE THE DOOR MIGHT NEED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT CONTINUALLY COMES ON IN MY 2012 FORD EDGE. WE HAVE SHUT THE DOOR REPEATEDLY SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WILL NOT SHUT. IT IS UNSAFE BECAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAY ON.

AFTER CLOSING THE DRIVER'S DOOR, I GET A DOOR AJAR MESSAGE IN THE DASHBOARD SCREEN. WHEN PARKED, INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK SINCE THE VEHICLE THINKS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN. WHILE DRIVING, DOORS DO NOT LOCK AND NOTIFICATIONS REPEAT AFTER EACH STOP AS I RELEASE THE BRAKE TO START ACCELERATING. REPEATED DOOR CLOSINGS MAY CAUSE THE COMPUTER TO REALIZE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND THE MESSAGE MAY GO AWAY, BUT THAT SOLUTION WORKS LESS AND LESS OFTEN. MY EDGE IS NOW 5 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS 2 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. FORD HQ TELLS ME THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND MY DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $400 TO REPLACE THE DOOR SWITCH OR $500+ IF I WANT A DIAGNOSTIC TO DETERMINE IF THAT SOLUTION WILL WORK, OR IF THERE IS A LARGER PROBLEM. ONLINE RESEARCH REVEALS...

THE DOOR LATCH LIGHT STAYS ON DURNING DRIVE TIME, IT PREVENTS LOCKED DOORS AND LIGHT ON MIRRORS AND INTERIOR LIGHT STAY ON. I HAVE READ THERE IS MULTIPLE FORD EDGE DRIVERS WITH SAME SAFTETY ISSUE.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS CAUSES A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVE BECAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ILLUMINED WHEN DRIVING. VERY SERIOUS AND THE DEALER WANTS OVER 650 TO FIX THE ISSUE.

THE DOOR AJAR MESSAGE SHOWS ON THE DASH WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS THE SENSOR DOES NOT READ THE DOOR BEING CLOSED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY BIG ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY SINCE IT IS PART OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

DOOR SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING. DOOR ALARM AND LIGHTS CONTINUE TO STAY ON AFTER DOOR IS CLOSED.

"DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR IS ON ALL THE TIME EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS CLOSED COMPLETELY. THEN THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON (THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AT NIGHT AS THE DRIVERS VISION IS IMPAIRED BY THE INTERIOR LIGHTS). ALSO RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM: THE "SHIFT TO PARK" AUDIBLE AND VISUAL INDICATOR OPERATES AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER.

THE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON. DOOR CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN INSIDE.

DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON. DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN INSIDE.

THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH IS DEFECTIVE THUS FAILING TO NOTIFY THE SENSOR THAT THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THE DOOR, ALTHOUGH CLOSED, REGISTERS OPEN. THE DOOR AJAR WARNING SOUNDS ON THE DASH BOARD, DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AND DOORS DO NOT LOCK. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DEFECTIVE LATCH MAY AFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT BECAUSE THE DOORS INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO LOCK. I BEGAN SEARCHING FORD FORUMS ONLY TO FIND THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR MANY FORD OWNERS. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CORPORATION ONLY TO BE INFORMED THAT THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THIS ISSUE. IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR FORD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE, REPAIR THE FAULTY PART AT THEIR EXPENSE, AND CONTINUE TO FOLLOW INDUSTRY STANDARDS BEST PRACTICES.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT REGISTER AS CLOSED. THE CABIN LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE DOORS DON'T ALWAYS LOCK BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS NOT. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR I GET AN ALARM IN THE DASHBOARD THAT CONTINUALLY STATES THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS AJAR.

DOORS WILL NOT REGISTER CLOSED EVEN IF YOU SLAM THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE HAVE TO RUN CAR WITH ALARMS GOING OFF FORD WILL REPLACE AT AN LARG COST

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE PROPERLY AND WOULD SET OFF THE ALARM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE SENSOR IN THE DOOR THAT CONFIRMS THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND LOCKED NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON SO THE DOORS CANT LOCK THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND FORD WILL NOT RECALL THIS UNSAFE PROBLEM THERE SEEMS TO BE AN EXISTING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE PROPERLY AND WON'T LOCK JUST WENT IT GETS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE DASHBOARD ALERTS KEEP GOING OFF. CALLED FORD AND THEY WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THIS MODEL SHOULD BE RECALLED. 600.00 FOR REPAIR

DRIVER DOOR SHOWS NOT CLOSED, LIGHTS ARE ON, DISPLAY SHOWS DOOR AJAR AND THE BELL IS RINGING.VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE NIGHT TIME WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON SHINNING IN YOUR FACE. ALSO THE DISPLAY IS SHOWS REQUEST TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND TO VALIDATE INFORMATION REGARDING THE DOOR BEING OPEN. THE SYMPTOM IS INCREASING EVERY DAY GOING TO 90%+ NOW WHEN GET IN THE CAR WE START BEING AFRAID TO USE THE CAR NOW

WHEN DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED, THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT IS STILL ON THE DISPLAY. YOU CAN SLAM THE DOOR HARD SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WILL GO OFF. MANY TIMES, IT REAPPEARS AFTER YOU BEGIN DRIVING. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD TO MY FAMILY BECAUSE MY WIFE IS NOT ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN INSIDE THE CAR. (THE "DOOR AJAR" WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO BE LOCKED). *TR

DOOR AJAR SIGNAL WILL INTERMITTENTLY ACTIVATE EVEN THOUGH DRIVERS DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS ALSO MEANS THAT DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF AND THAT THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FORD EDGE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ESCALATED TO A RECALL FOR FIX. *TR

DRIVE DOOR AJAR ON PANEL, DOORS WON'T LOCK, INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON INITIALLY, WHILE DRIVING IT WILL SAY TO SHIFT TO PARK DUE TO THE DOOR AJAR...WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK LIKE NORMAL. AFTER TURNING CAR OFF SOMETIMES CAN'T LOCK TO VEHICLE AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR ALWAYS READS THE DOOR AS OPEN. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO CHIME EVERY TIME YOU ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ILLUMINATED, AND PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE CHIME IS A DISTRACTION AND ALSO CAUSES THE DRIVER TO IGNORE THE ALARM WHICH MEANS YOU COULD NOT NOTICE SOME OTHER, MORE SERIOUS MALFUNCTION IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS MAKE PARKING AT NIGHT VERY DANGEROUS AS IT'S HARD TO SEE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AND THE DOORS NOT LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY IS OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS. ON TOP OF ALL THIS, YOU CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE IF THE PROXIMITY KEY IS INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. IF SOMEONE IS USED TO BEING ABLE TO DO THIS, IT'S VERY EASY TO LOCK YOURSELF OUT OF YOUR CAR. IT HAPPENED TO...

A FAULT IN THE DOOR LATCH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS MALFUNCTIONING AND SENDS A SIGNAL THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT. BESIDES BEING ANNOYING, I FEAR THE FACT THAT THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THEY COULD BE LOCKED MANUALLY, BUT I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN THAT CAN NOT LOCK THEM ON THEIR OWN. I FEAR THAT IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, THEY COULD BE THROWN FROM THE CAR DUE TO NOT HAVING THE DOORS LOCKED. AT THIS POINT I DO NOT EVEN WANT TO DRIVE MY CHILDREN ANYWHERE IN THIS VEHICLE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT BEGAN STAYING ON WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED PROPERLY. THIS CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO STAY ON INSIDE THE CAR ALONG WITH THE ANNOYING BEEPING SOUND. WHAT REALLY CONCERNS ME IS THAT I HAVE MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND BEING THAT THE DOORS WON'T LOCK AS THE LIGHT IS NOW ON CONTINUOUSLY, SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AT ANY TIME. JUST WAIT UNTIL THERE IS A MAJOR INJURY FROM THIS BEFORE BEING RECALLED, ISN'T THAT HOW IT USUALLY WORKS? *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS CLOSED . LIGHT IS DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING. DOOR OPEN WARNING RELAY PART # MISW6169 IS BAD AND NEEDS REPLACING. *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON. DOOR HAS TO BE OPENED AND CLOSED IN THE PARK POSITION SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE ALERT GOES AWAY. CONSTANTLY CHECK THE DOOR AND IT IS INDEED CLOSED BUT ALERT IS STILL THERE. *TR

DOOR SENSOR FAILURE CAUSING DASH WARNING LIGHT TO SAY" DOOR AJAR". THIS CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON EVEN AFTER DOOR HAS BEEN CLOSED AND YOU LEAVE YOUR CAR. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER DOOR IS FIRMLY SHUT! LOCKS WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS ! ! ! VERY DANGEROUS??? *TR

WHEN I GET INTO THE CAR AND SHUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, I GET AN ERROR THE DOOR IS AJAR. CLEARLY IT IS NOT BUT A RELENTLESS BEEPING IS WARNING ME OF THE TROUBLE. THE DOOM LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR THE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR FIVE MINUTES, INDICATING A DOOR IS STILL OPEN. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR SWITCH STAYS ON WHEN THE DRIVERS DOOR IS CLOSED AND LATCHED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND EASILY SEARCHABLE ON MANY VEHICLE FORUMS AND YOUTUBE. *TR

THE NET EFFECT IS THAT THE CAR'S INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF NOR WILL THE DOORS LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE THE DOORS FROM BEING OPENED AT ANY SPEED. HISTORY: IN DEC 2014 MY FORD EDGE DRIVERS DOOR "OPEN" INDICATOR WOULD OCCASIONALLY NOT TURN OFF AFTER THE DOOR HAD BEEN SECURELY CLOSED. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT ONCE A WEEK AND BY CLOSING THE DOOR WITH A BIT MORE FORCE WOULD IT THEN TURN OFF. OVER THE NEXT THREE MONTHS THE INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD WORK FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN FAIL AGAIN. STARTING IN FEBRUARY 2015 THE LIGHT BECAME MORE DIFFICULT TO GET TO GO OFF UNTIL MARCH WHEN THE INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF. THE EFFECT OF THE DOOR NOT REGISTERING AS CLOSED CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON, THE DOORS NOT TO LOCK...

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY MAKING THE VEHICLE REACT AS THOUGH THE DOOR IS OPEN EVEN THOUGH IT IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING AND PREVENTS THE DOME LIGHT FROM TURNING OFF. THE DOOR AJAR ALARM AND LIGHT WILL NOT STOP ALERTING THE DRIVER TO THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, THERE IS A DANGER TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS WHILE MOVING. WHEN DOME LIGHT FAILS TO TURN OFF, THE CAR BATTERY CAN RUN DOWN PREVENTING THE CAR FROM STARTING. *TR

WITH THE DRIVER DOOR CLOSED, DISPLAY SHOWS DOOR AJAR AND THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ON. THE CAR DOESN'T LOCK THE DOORS TOO. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THE LIGHTS ON STRAIGHT IN YOUR FACE! THIS A SECURITY FAILURE AND SEEMS TO BE EPIDEMIC ON FORD CARS. DEALERS ARE CHARGING $400 TO $500 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY SWITCH INSIDE THE DOOR LATCH. FORD SHOULD RECALL AS A SAFETY MATTER AND DO THE REPAIR FOR FREE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY SENSOR INDICTED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS AJAR. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SLAMMED THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES. THE SENSOR STILL TOLD ME THE DOOR WAS AJAR. THIS WILL NOT GO OFF. IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS NOW. THE DOME LIGHT WILL ALSO STAY ON DRAINING MY BATTERY. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THE SENSORS. WHEN I LOOK ON LINE THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE CHIME WARNING IS CONSTANT. PLEASE RECALL THESE SO I CAN FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE! *TR

2012 FORD EDGE SEL DRIVER DOOR LATCH AJAR LIGHT COMES, INSIDE LIGHTS AND WILL NOT TURN OFF, DOOR LATCH NEED TO BE REPLACE. *TR

ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME -- AT ALL SPEEDS OF 0-75 -- THE WARNING LIGHT SHOWS THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR, WHICH CAUSES THE DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON, AND THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING IN THE CITY AND STOP AT A RED LIGHT -- ANYONE COULD OPEN THE DOOR AND GET INSIDE. WHEN THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ON, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY WHEN BACKING THE CAR. *TR

DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR, DOOR AJAR LIGHT SAYS ON. HAVE TO SLAM THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO TURN OFF AND SOME TIMES THAT DOES NOT EVEN WORK. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. *TR
