2013 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED, THE DOOR AJAR LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND UNABLE TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN THE VEHICLE. BATTERY DRAINS

MY "DOOR AJAR" SENSOR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT. I CAN NOT LOCK MY DOORS WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. IT HAS ALSO RUN DOWN MY BATTERY SO I HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND ALARM STAYS ON FOR DRIVER'S DOOR EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT. OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS AND WHEN STATIONARY.

DRIVER SIDE, REAR PASSENGER "DOOR AJAR" IS CONSTANTLY LIT ON THE DASHBOARD. DESPITE REPEATED VERIFICATION THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED, THE WARNING MESSAGE REMAINS. THIS MEANS THE DOORS WON'T LOCK, THE CABIN LIGHTS DON'T TURN OFF AND THE AUDIBLE ALARM RINGS. THERE HAS BEEN NO INJURY OR ACCIDENT AT THIS TIME. DOOR APPEARS TO BE LATCHED, BUT WARNING INDICATOR STAYS ON. REMAINS WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON

DRIVER'S-SIDE DOOR CONSTANTLY SAYS "DOOR AJAR." LIGHT ON DASH DOES NOT GO OUT. IN-CAR ALARM CONSTANTLY DINGING, SAYING THE DOOR IS OPEN, WHEN IT IS CLEARLY LATCHED. AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK. CANNOT USE KEYLESS ENTRY BECAUSE THE CAR BELIEVES THE DOOR IS OPEN.

THE LATCH CAUSED A PROBLEM SO THE VEHICLE KEPT GIVING ME A "DOOR AJAR" WARNING. SINCE IT THOUGHT THE DOOR WAS AJAR, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO OFF, EVENTUALLY CAUSING A DEAD BATTERY. THIS WAS A PROBLEM DRIVING AT NIGHT SINCE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE ON CONTINUALLY CAUSING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. IT ALSO WAS A PROBLEM FOR ME, AS A WOMAN I DIDN'T FEEL I COULD USE MY CAR FOR ACTIVITIES, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENING, IF I HAD TO WORRY ABOUT COMING OUT TO A VEHICLE WITH A DEAD BATTERY AND NO HELP AVAILABLE. I HAD THIS REPAIR THROUGH MY LOCAL SHOP, SO I COULD TRUST USING MY CAR. THE COST OF THE REPAIRS WAS $392 WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON MOST OF THE FORD MODELS FOR THIS YEAR, BUT NOT THE EDGE. SAME PROBLEM...WHY AREN'T WE GETTING THE REPAIRS NEEDED AT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHEN THE CONTACT CLOSED THE VEHICLE'S DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE SHIFT TO PARK WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE INDICATOR DIMMED. THE FAILURES RECURRED EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. IN ADDITION, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND DRAINED THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

I HAD TO REPLACE DRIVER DOOR LATCH DUE TO ISSUES WITH DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING CONSTANTLY COMING ON WHEN DOOR WAS CLOSED WHILE PARKED OR MOVING ALSO CREATING PROBLEMS WITH DOME LIGHT, DOOR LOCKS AND ENTRY PAD. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT SEEMED TO BE PRETTY COMMON AMONG OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS WHICH CONFIRMED MY DECISION TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 28,000 MILES.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT FOR DRIVER SIDE DOOR COMES ON INSPITE OF BANGING DOOR LOCKED AND DOES NOT GO AWAY AFTER SEVERAL TIME CLOSING HARD. CHECKED DOOR IS LOCKED AND LIGHT IS FALSE. SENSOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. SOMETIME THIS COME ON WHEN VEHICLE IN MOTION ON THE STREET. THIS WAS REPAIRED BY FORD DEALER IN TURNERSVILLE NJ 1.5 YEARS BACK WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN WARRANTY.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING ON BOTH THE DRIVER DOOR AND DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR. IT IS SO BAD ON THE PASSENGER DOOR THAT I DO NOT EVEN USE IT ANY MORE BECAUSE IT IS SO HARD TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO OFF, SINCE IT STAYS ON EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THE DRIVER DOOR IS ALSO EXTREMELY HARD TO GET THE SENSOR TO GO OFF, EVEN AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR MANY TIMES. I HAVE ALSO TRIED FLIPPING THE LOCK SWITCH OPEN AND CLOSED IN AN EFFORT TO GET THE SENSOR WORKING RIGHT SO THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF. MANY TIMES I AM DRIVING WITH THE INSIDE DOME LIGHTS ON. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN TIMES WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING I HAVE GOOGLED FROM COMPRESSED AIR TO WD40 TO ELECTRICAL PARTS CLEANER, BUT THE FIX IS ONLY...

DRIVER DOOR NOT LOCKING, DOOR MUST BE OPENED AND RE CLOSED SEVERAL TIMES. IF NOT ENGAGED, INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON DRAINING BATTERY AND CAR REMAINS UNSECURED AND PRONE TO THEFT. ALSO SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING THE UNLOCKED INDICATOR LIGHTS UP AND SOUNDS AND NOT SURE IF DOOR HAS TRULY UNLATCHED.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR MALFUNCTION. WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED THE ALARM WARNING KEEPS GOING OFF AND INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON.

I HAVE HAD A RE-OCCURRING DOOR AJAR ISSUE WITH MY FORD EDGE EVER SINCE I PURCHASED IT. OVER TIME, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF EVEN AS ALL THE DOOR ARE CLOSED. HAVE HAD THE ISSUE LOOKES AT BY FORD DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY CHARGE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT TO REPAIR IT. WITHIN THE PAST WEEK, THE DOOR AJAR ISSUE IS NOW CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON. I DID NOT USE MY CAR OVER THE WEEKEND, AND NOTICED 3 DAYS LATER THAT MY INTERIOR LIGHTS HAD BEEN ON FOR A WHILE. THE LIGHTS WERE EXTREMELY HOT, THAT ONE OF THEM WAS SMOKING. THE LIGHTS NOW WILL NOT TURN OFF BECAUSE OF HE DOOR AJAR ISSUE. WHEN I OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THE DOOR AJAR ISSUE GOES AWAY AND THEN THE LIGHTS GO OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE ONE OF THE LIGHTS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND RESUME DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND WARNING COME ON WITH DOOR CLOSED. OPENING AND CLOSING DOOR ALLEVIATES THE PROBLEM AT TIMES.

THE DRIVERS SIDE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. IN THIS CONDITION THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND THE WARNING CONTINUES TO COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHICH IS A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER. THE WARNING LIGHT AND ANNUNCIATOR COME IN WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND WILL GO QUIET WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION ONLY AFTER ACKNOWLEDGING THE WARNING BY DEPRESSING OK ON THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS. THE ALARM COMES IN AGAIN WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR AND THE 'PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK' WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND CAUSED THE DOORS TO NOT BE ABLE TO LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. QUOTED $400 TO FIX FROM FORD DEALER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR RANDOMLY FLASHED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE CONTACT CONSTANTLY HAD TO OPEN AND CLOSE VARIOUS DOORS. THE INTERIOR LIGHTING AND DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR CONTINUED TO FLASH. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM A MANUFACTURER RECALL TO ADDRESS THE DOOR AJAR FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALERT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WILL NOT RESET, AT THE SAME TIME INTERIOR LIGHTING REMAINS ON FOR AN EXTENDED TIME AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND EXITING. DRAINS THE BATTERY. THE DOOR LACKS ARE ALSO EFFECTED UNABLE TO LOCK WHILE CAR IS ON, THE AUTO LOCK NOT FUNCTIONING PLACING DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN JEOPARDY. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO EFFECTED WHEN DRIVING ESPECIALLY AT DARK DUE TO AN EXTENDED DELAY IN GOING OFF AFTER STARTING PROHIBITS BEING ABLE TO SEE OUTSIDE AND DRIVE SAFELY. HAVE REVIEWED MANY REPORTS FROM OTHER FORD OWNERS ON THIS SUBJECT ON YOU TUBE MANY OF WHIZ HAVE HAD VERY COSTLY REPAIRS DONE REPEATEDLY ON THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME PURCHASING PARTS TO REPAIR ONLY TO FIND THE PARTS WERE FAULTY AS WELL.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON SAYING DOOR IS OPEN AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU SHUT THE DOOR IT STILL STAYS ON. BECAUSE OF THIS INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN IN DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU TURN ON THE VEHICLE EVEN IF YOU DID NOT OPEN THAT DOOR. IT STARTED WITH THIS JUST HAPPENING ONCE A WEEK AND NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I START MY CAR. IT IS JUST ON THE PASSENGER DOOR.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH SEEMS TO BE FAILING. MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ONE WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. I'M NOT SURE IF IT ACTUALLY IS OR NOT. IT HAS YET TO OPEN ON ITS ON, BUT UPON SOME RESEARCH IT APPEARS THIS COULD HAPPEN. WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SAYS ITS AJAR THE DOORS WON'T LOCK. I'VE HAD TO OPEN AND CLOSE MY DOOR A DOZEN TIMES JUST TO GET THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I'VE ALSO HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF GETTING IN THE CAR AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON. THEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, START MY WAY DOWN THE ROAD ONLY FOR THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT TO COME ON AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AS WELL. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THOUGH, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON IMMEDIATELY. AGAIN, I'M NOT SURE IF...

A FEW THOUSAND MILES AGO I REPLACED THE DOOR LATCH ON THE DRIVERS DOOR DUE TO FAILURE, AND NOW THE LEFT REAR SENSOR HAS FAILED. THIS RESULTS IN CABIN LIGHTING SUDDENLY COMING ON, REFUSING TO GO OFF, AND LEAVING MY VEHICLE ILLUMINATED WHEN PARKED. WHEN FIRST OCCURRED, I PULLED OVER ON A BUSY HIGHWAY TO ASSURE MY DAUGHTER (IN THE REAR SEAT) WAS SAFE AND THE DOOR WOULDN'T FLY OPEN. RECOGNIZING IT NOW AS A SENSOR, AND THE SECOND ON THIS VEHICLE, I'M SHOCKED TO SEE THAT FORD STILL THINKS THIS IS OK AND SHOULD NOT BE ADDRESSED.

DOOR AJAR LATCH/SENSOR CONTINUES TO STICK WHICH KEEPS THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON AND KEEPS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND PARK LIGHTS ON AFTER TURNING OFF CAR, CLOSING DOOR, AND LOCKING CAR. INTERIOR LIGHTS AND PARK LIGHTS ARE HARD TO NOTICE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS AND THIS RESULTS IN DRAINING BATTERY WHICH LEAVES THE OWNER STRANDED. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY!

DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS CONTINUALLY ON AND REQUIRES STOPPING PUTTING IN PARK AND OPENING AND CLOSING DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND IS BEING ADDRESSED FOR OTHER FORD MODELS BUT NO THE EDGE PLEASE CONSIDER INCLUDING IT IN THE CURRENT RECALL 16S30. THIS OCCURS WHILE BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING.

CONTROL PANEL STATES DOORS AJAR AND LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF OR DOORS WON'T LOCK. DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND CREATES DANGEROUS CONDITIONS AT NIGHT WHEN TRYING TO BACK OUT OR WHILE DRIVING. LIGHTS WILL ALSO COME BACK ON WHEN STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT AND WON'T GO BACK OFF UNTIL A CERTAIN RATE OF SPEED HAS BEEN MET DUE TO THE SYSTEM THINKING THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT'S NOT. DOORS WILL ALSO NOT LOCK WHEN CAR IS OFF AND DOME LIGHT STAYS ON DRAINING BATTERY TILL THE BATTERY IS DEAD SITTING IN PARKED POSITION. IT IS ALSO CLIMATE SENSITIVE AND IS WORSE ON COLD OR HUMID DAYS. BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE DRIVERS PASSENGER DOOR IS AFFECTED AND CREATES EXTREMELY DANGERS DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE.

RECEIVED A DOOR AJAR MESSAGE FOR DRIVER SIDE DOOR ON INSTRUMENT PANEL AND INTERIOR LIGHT WOULD STAY ON EVEN THOUGH DOOR WAS CLOSED. DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD HEAR A CONSTANT DINGING SOUND AND WOULD RECEIVE A MESSAGE ON CONSOLE SAYING SHIFT TO PARK. THE DOOR LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED ON 3/13/17 AND COST $590. THE MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE IS 42,716 WHEN THE LATCH FAILED AND WAS REPAIRED.

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT KEEP COMING ON FOR MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR EVEN THOUGH ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND FULLY LATCHED. THE LIGHTS STAY ON AFTER THE THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED AND ALL DOORS CLOSED, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN QUICKLY. THE WARNING WILL ALSO COME ON WHILE I AM DRIVING AND EACH TIME I COME TO A STOP. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. IT WILL DO IT MOST OF THE TIME AND THEN OCCASIONALLY, THE DOOR AJAR WILL WORK PROPERLY.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN DOOR IS SHUT AND INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. IN ADDITION, EACH TIME YOU STOP AND RESUME DRIVING THE CHIMES DING WHICH DISTRACT DRIVER. IF YOU DO NOT NOTICE INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN YOU LOCK YOUR CAR, BATTERY WILL BE DEAD WHEN YOU RETURN. IN ADDITION TO A INCREASED POSSIBILITY OF A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT THIS DEFECT ALSO SUBJECTS YOU TO BEING VICTIM OF A CRIME WHEN YOU RETURN TO A STRANDED VEHICLE AND HAVE TO WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE TO ARRIVE.

SENSOR FOR DRIVER DOOR KEEPS COMING ON WHEN DOOR IS CLEARLY SHUT. THIS CAUSES BATTERY TO DRAIN, INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON, DOORS TO NOT LOCK, AND CONSTANT BEEPING. RESEARCHED IT AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND ARE PAYING $300+ TO FIX IT AND HAVING IT HAPPEN A YEAR LATER AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR WAS CONSTANTLY DISPLAYED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE AFFECTED THE DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,760.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOME LIGHT INSIDE THE VEHICLE REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND LOCKED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE ALARM SOUNDED AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR SENSOR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SWITCH MECHANISM INSIDE THE DOOR FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED, BUT RECURRED AFTER SIX MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO AGAIN DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE SWITCH MECHANISM. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,797.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AND HAVE TO SLAM DOOR SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO FINALLY GO OUT. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYS ON UNTIL DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS CLEARED AND OF COURSE DOORS WON'T LOCK WHILE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR SWITCH/ALARM REMAINS ON WHEN THE DRIVERS DOOR IS FIRMLY CLOSED WHEN STATIONARY AND WHEN IN MOTION. THIS CAUSES THE DOME LIGHT TO REMAIN ON WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO SEE, DANGEROUS, TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN DRIVING WHICH CAN BE UNSAFE. THIS CONDITION IS CONSTANT ON ANY TYPE OF STREET OR ANY PARKING SITUATION. MY EDGE HAD AROUND 31,000 MILES WHEN THIS PROBLEM STARTED.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER'S DOOR OF MY '13 FORD EDGE LIMITED INDICATING THAT IT IS AJAR (WARNING AND INTERIOR LIGHTS ON) WHEN IT IS NOT. IN ORDER FOR IT TO QUIT, I HAVE TO EITHER VERY FIRMLY CLOSE THE DOOR (SLAM IT) OR OPEN AND CLOSE IT A FEW TIMES UNTIL IT SENSES THAT IT IS IN FACT FULLY CLOSED. IT IS ALSO DRAINING MY BATTERY BECAUSE WHEN I EXIT THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW OCCASIONS THAT I HAD TO JUMP START MY CAR. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND IN MOTION.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES EVEN THOUGH ALL DOORS ARE FULLY LATCHED. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON MAKING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AT NIGHT. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THE DOOR AJAR BELL GOES OFF AT ALL TIMES, EVEN THOUGH THE DOORS ARE FULLY LATCHED.

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH A MESSAGE TELLING ME THAT THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR. THE MESSAGE TELLS ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE DOOR. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES TO GET THE MESSAGE OFF, SOMETIMES IT WILL WORK BUT MOST OF THE TIME I END UP SHUTTING AND RESHUTTING THE DOOR TO GET THE MESSAGE OFF. AND WHILE THE MESSAGE IS ON THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. SOMETIMES I SPEND HOURS TRYING TO GET THE MESSAGE OFF. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS A SENSOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. A RECALL MUST BE MADE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, IN ADDITION TO THE LIGHTS STAYING ON, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND NOT SAFE. ALSO, I AM WORRIED THAT THE BATTERY WILL RUN DOWN. I AM GETTING TO THE POINT THAT I...

DOOR ADJAR LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. DOME LIGHTS STAY ON CAUSING BATTERY TO DIE. VEHICLE CHIMES WHILE DRIVING CAUSING MILD DISTRACTION.

A LIGHT INDICATING 'DOOR AJAR' RANDOMLY APPEARS EVEN THOUGH DOOR SEEMS TO BE CLOSED. THERE IS NO SOLUTION EXCEPT TO REPEATED SLAM DOOR SHUT MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL LIGHT DISAPPEAR. FORD REFUSES TO COVER THIS PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY.

CAR IS STATIONARY. DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS SHOWING THE INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINS ON WHICH MAKE IT DANGEROUS TO BACK UP AT NIGHT. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE BATTERY TO DIE. DOOR AJAR CHIME CONSTANTLY GOING OFF EVERY THREE TO FIVE MINUTES.

SENSOR SAYS DRIVERS DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS NOT IN AN STATIONARY POSITION. DOOR HAS TO BE CLOSED SEVERAL TIMES TO BE ABLE TO LOCK DOORS AND DRIVE.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED AND LATCHED CAUSING INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON UNTIL A CERTAIN SPEED IS ATTAINED. ALSO DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED ON THE FORD EDGE. THESE ISSUES SURFACED TWICE WITH THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND ONCE WITH THE REAR DRIVER'S PASSENGER DOOR. DESPITE BEING CLOSED, THE SENSOR ACTIVATES TO SHOW THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR. THE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE STAY ON, THE ALARM SOUNDS. THE REPAIR COSTS FOR THIS PROBLEM ARE AROUND $500 PER INCIDENT. A QUICK SEARCH OF THE INTERNET FINDS THIS TO BE A REOCCURRING PROBLEM FOR MANY FORD EDGE OWNERS BUT NO ONE AT FORD OR THE GOVERNMENT WILL HELP ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I'M WRITING FOR YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON FROM BAD DOOR SENSOR ON DRIVERS DOOR. THIS IS OUR 2ND EDGE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE ISSUES CAUSED BY THIS IS THE BATTERY DRAINS, LIGHTS STAY ON INSIDE VEHICLE WITH NO WAY TO TURN THEM OFF OTHER THAN BY REMOVING FUSES AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AS IT THINKS THE CAR DOORS ARE OPEN.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT HAS STARTED COMING ON REGULARLY EVEN THOUGH ALL DOORS ARE SHUT. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND I GET A "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING. I THEN HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SLAM THE DOOR SHUT SEVERAL TIMES TO CLEAR IT. IT'S BECOMING A HASSLE AND LIGHTS STAY ON SO IT DRAINS THE BATTERY. THIS IS A DEFECT AND FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS CLOSED. VERY ANNOYING AND FRUSTRATING. HAVE TO CLOSE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET IT TO GO OFF. CAR HAS ONLY 36,000 MILES ON IT. AFRAID MAY RUN BATTERY DOWN BECAUSE LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF. TIRED OF HAVING TO KEEP SLAMMING DOORS TO GET IT STOPPED. RESEARCHED AND FOUND OTHER OF THEIR MODELS DID THIS AND WERE RECALLED BUT FOR SOME REASON THEY WON'T DO THE EDGE. *TR
