I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE DOME LIGHT DOES NOT TURN OFF WHILE THE DOOR AJAR ALARM IS ON. MY DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WHILE THIS SHOWS THE DOOR IS AJAR. MY DOME LIGHT STAYS ON FOR 10+ MINUTES EVERY TIME I OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOOR. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FRONT LEFT DOOR HAD THE SAME FAILURE BUT, WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS FOR THE REAR LEFT PASSENGER DOOR AS IT WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. *JS *JS*JS *JS *JS

WE RECENTLY HEARD THAT THE EDGE WAS BEING INVESTIGATED BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LATCH. WE WANT TO REPORT THAT WE HAVE HAD THAT PROBLEM. WE BOUGHT A 2013 EDGE IN DEC 2015. DURING THE FIRST WEEK WE STARTED GETTING THE WARNING MESSAGE THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY NOT. IT DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME WE DROVE THE CAR, BUT WHEN IT DID HAPPEN, THE MESSAGE KEPT REPEATING & THERE WAS NO WAY TO STOP IT. ON JULY 26, 2016, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER & FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM WAS THE DOOR LATCH. IT COST $486.57 FOR REPLACEMENT (SEE INVOICE). WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION, I TALKED TO THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP & HE SAID THAT IT WAS 'POSSIBLE' THAT WE WOULD BE REIMBURSED BY FORD IF A RECALL WERE ISSUED. ANOTHER FORD WORKER IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID HE...

THIS IS FOR A 2013 FORD EDGE SEL AWD MODEL, RECENTLY THE DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR INDICATOR KEEPS COMING ON , AND INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WITH IT, SLAMMING THE DOOR A FEW TIMES , SOMETIMES CORRECTS IT. BUT IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE, AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT, VERY ANNOYING, AND IF IT DOES IT UPON LEAVING THE VEHICLE PARKED , INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND RUN DOWN THE BATTERY. WHILE DRIVING IT SOMETIMES COMES ON, AND UNLOCKS THE DOORS, BECAUSE IT THINKS THIS DOOR IS AJAR, WHEN IN FACT THE DOOR IS CLOSED TIGHT. FORD SHOULD RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE, APPARENTLY IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODELS, AND THEY WANT MORE THAN $400 TO REPAIR THEIR FAULTY SWITCH ISSUE.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HAS A DOOR AJAR ALARM WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED TIGHTLY . LIGHTS STAY ON AND DOORS DO NOT LOCK. *TR

SENSOR IN DRIVERS DOOR LATCH SENDS MESSAGE TO DASH PANEL "DOOR AJAR". THIS RESULTS IN A WARNING BELL EVERY TIME CAR STARTS FROM COMPLETE STOP. WE ARE CONCERNED THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING ELSE WRONG & WE WOULDN'T NOTICE THE WARNING AS IT HAPPENS SO OFTEN AS WE DRIVE. *TR

DRIVER DOOR LATCH SENSOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT DOOR IS CLOSED. STARTED AS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM NOW ALARM IS ON ALL THE TIME. CAN HEAR SWITCH CLICK WHEN MANUALLY OPERATED BUT DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL NOT GO OUT. THIS PREVENTS VARIOUS OTHER THINGS FROM OPERATING PROPERLY INCLUDING SAFETY FEATURES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT FORD HAS INSTALLED IN MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES. EVERY WHERE I TURN THERE ARE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. MOST OF THESE CARS ARE NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE SENSOR ALWAYS INDICATED THE DOOR WAS OPEN, SOUNDING THE CHIME, WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED TIGHT. THE REPAIR CAME TO THE TUNE OF $422.11 FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLD! *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR SAYS ITS AJAR BUT ACTUALLY IS NOT, SO IF DRIVING AT NIGHT THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ON WITCH IS DANGEROUS AND THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK IF THE VEHICLE SYSTEM THINKS IT AJAR. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED CAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE #1 DOORS WON'T LOCK. #2 INTERIOR LIGHT WON'T GO OUT IF DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR
