2013 FORD EDGE Structurebody Problems

DRIVER SIDE DOOR KEEPS ALARMING THAT IT IS NOT CLOSED EVEN IF DOOR IS CLOSED. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT WON'T LOCK THE VEHICLE, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS THE ALARM WHICH DISTRACTS THE DRIVER.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND WARNING DINGS WHEN THE DOOR IS DEFINITELY SHUT. IF I OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES IT WILL SOMETIMES GO OFF. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE DOOR CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN THIS HAPPENS, CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. CAUSES BATTERY TO DRAIN BECAUSE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH LIGHTS ON WHICH MAKES NIGHTTIME DRIVING DANGEROUS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND FORD NEEDS TO RECALL IT.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. ALSO THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK/STAY LOCKED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN INITIALLY STARTING THE VEHICLE AND HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO BE EITHER IN THE SENSOR OR THE DOOR LATCH ITSELF. AT FIRST IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN AT RANDOM, BUT NOW SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE OFTEN. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR A FEW WEEKS. WILL BE TAKING IT TO BE REPAIRED IN A FEW DAYS

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE I WAS TURNING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AS MENTIONED IN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS, I TOO HAVE THE ISSUE OF THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT DISPLAYING "AJAR". BECAUSE OF THIS ALMOST ACCIDENT, I NOW OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES TO MAKE SURE THE LATCH IS CLOSE AND THE LIGHT IS OFF. MY LIFE MATTERS.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. ALSO THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK/STAY LOCKED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN INITIALLY STARTING THE VEHICLE AND HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO BE EITHER IN THE SENSOR OR THE DOOR LATCH ITSELF. AT FIRST IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN AT RANDOM, BUT NOW SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE OFTEN. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR A FEW WEEKS. WILL BE TAKING IT TO BE REPAIRED IN A FEW DAYS.

WHEN I CLOSE MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND START MY 2013 FORD EDGE, IT THINKS MY DOOR IS AJAR. THIS IS A LATCH PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. AS A RESULT, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB. I AM HOPING THAT THE NHTSA WILL FORCE FORD TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THE PROBLEM

2013 FORD EDGE SEL WITH 33000 MILES, DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES. IT KEEPS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING, CONTINOUSLY WARNS DRIVER WITH DOOR OPEN MESSAGES ON DASHBOARD EVEN WHEN IT'S DOOR IS CLOSED. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE ALSO DRAINED MY CAR BATTERY SINCE I HAD TO REPLACE IT BACK IN SEPT 2016. FORD PLEASE RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP.

DOOR LATCH ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR BROKE

WHEN CLOSING THE DRIVER DOOR THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WITH THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED AND ALSO A NOISE INDICATOR EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND CLOSE THE DOOR. ALSO WHEN TRYING TO USE THE KEYPAD TO LOCK THE CAR FROM THE OUTSIDE SOMETIMES IT WON'T LOCK. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS INCONSISTENT, SOMETIMES IT WILL STAY ON, OTHER TIMES IT WILL TURN OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. AFTER A $200 FEE TO JUST LOOK AT THE VEHICLE THEY SAID IT IS THE DOOR LATCH WHICH IS A COMMON DEFECT AND WILL COAST UPWARD OF $500 WITH LABOR AND PARTS TO FIX. AFTER DOING RESEARCH TO TRY AND SEE IF I COULD REPAIR IT MYSELF I FOUND I WAS NOT ALONE IN HAVING THIS ISSUE AND...

MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT STARTED COMING LAST WEEK AND WON'T GO OFF. I AN POSITIVE THE ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED. IT IS VERY DISRUPTIVE WHILE DRIVING, WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS AT SIGNAL LIGHTS, IN INTERSECTIONS OR IN TRAFFIC THE ALARM COMES ON. ALSO, I WAS IN A COMPLETELY DARK PARKING LOT WITH PEOPLE AND CARS MOVING AROUND AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULDN'T GO OFF. I COULD NOT SEE OUTSIDE BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT FUNCTION IN THIS STATE EITHER. SOMEONE COULD HAVE EASILY GOTTEN INTO THE VEHICLE WITH ME. HELP!

DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALARM WENT OFF LAST WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WILL NOT STOP. THIS IS CAUSING ME TO GET A CONSTANT WARNING WHILE I'M DRIVING THAT MY DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR AND TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK. IT ALSO MAKES MY INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN MY CAR IS TURNED OFF (WHICH IS KILLING MY NEW BATTERY) AND MY DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. NO AMOUNT OF SLAMMING THE DOOR SHUT OR CLEANING OF THE DOOR LATCH CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. I AM HAVING TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY IN ORDER TO NOT DRAIN MY NEW BATTERY DOWN FROM THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYING ON.

"TAKATA RECALL" - DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON DASH. FRONT AND REAR DRIVERS SIDE

FORD EDGE 2013 PROBLEM WITH SENSOR OR OTHER CAUSING DRIVER DOOR ALARM TO ACTIVATE AFTER DOOR IS SHUT. DOME LIGHTS STAY ON; DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT BUT MESSAGE STATES THAT "DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR". MESSAGE AND ALARM SOMETIMES COMES ON WHEN DRIVING. SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL TRIES REPEATEDLY SHUTTING DOOR TO GET ALARM AND LIGHTS TO TURN OFF. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS CLOSED, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AS A RESULT, THE DOOR FAILED TO LOCK AND CAUSE THE OTHER DOORS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CHIMED AS IF THE DOOR WAS OPEN ALTHOUGH IT WAS LATCHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT SIDE DOOR LATCH AND SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR CONSTANTLY DISPLAYS THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WHILE DRIVING AND KEEPS THE LIGHTS ON WITHIN THE VEHICLE WHEN SHUT OFF. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE EDGE AND IS EXPENSIVE FIX. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTING ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 01/11/2017*CT

MY CAR, FORD EDGE 2013 HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER DOOR SENSOR WHICH SHOWS THAT THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED CAUSING THE ALARM BELL TO STAY ON, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF, HAD TO HAVE A JUMP START. TOOK TO FORD DEALER AND WAS CHARGED FOR REPAIR. QUITE EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO PAY FOR WHAT FORD SHOULD BE PAYING FOR. I UNDERSTAND THAT ARE QUITE A LARGE NUMBER OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO SMELL EXHAUST FUMES WHEN SHUTTING SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AS I GET OUT OF THE CAR. COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. UNDERSTAND THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM FOR OTHER OWNERS. THESE FACTORS TOGETHER SHOULD BE REASON FOR THE NHTSA TO GET INVOLVED AND FORCE A RECALL TO REVIEW OUR GROUPS PROBLEMS. I PAID $229.00 TO CLEAN CONTACTS. NEW PARTS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE. HELP US WITH THIS.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON. THE DOORS WON"T LOCK AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE DOOR IS REALLY CLOSED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONERY OR IN MOTION.

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.

I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS DOOR LATCH SENSOR ISSUE FOR THE DURATION OF MY OWNERSHIP ON MY FORD EDGE. I DON'T SEE HOW IT IS POSSIBLE THAT OUR VEHICLES MEET NHTSA STANDARD FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NO. 206, DOOR LOCKS AND DOOR RETENTION COMPONENTS. THE TESTING FOR THAT STANDARD WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN A LABORATORY, AND IT IS APPARENT THAT CONTAMINANTS OUT IN THE FIELD ARE MAKING THEIR WAY INTO THE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY AND COMPROMISING THE SENSOR - IT IS NOT A STRETCH TO CONSIDER THE LATCH ITSELF MAY BE DETERIORATING AS WELL. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW IF THE DOOR IS FULLY SHUT. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COMING ON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHTTIME FROM THE UNPREDICTABLE SENSOR. I JUST REPLACED A BATTERY 10/3/16, FAILED FROM THE SENSOR DRAINING IT REPEATEDLY, BOUGHT THE LARGEST CAPACITY OEM REPLACEMENT I COULD GET FOR IT FROM FROM THE...

THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR CLOSES BUT THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON AND IS ANNOYING. MY WIFE TOOK IT IN AND THEY WANTED 500.00 TO FIX IT ON A 3YR. OLD CAR THEY CAN'T MAKE A LATCH TO LAST LONGER THAN 3 YRS.?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPENED WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED AS THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE 'SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING MESSAGE ALSO DISPLAYED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT LOCK DUE TO FAILURE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE 'SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WHEN I SHUT IT, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON ALONG WITH THE DOME LIGHTS. IT ONLY TOOK A FEW TIMES RE SHUTTING THE DOOR TO MAKE THIS GO AWAY. HOWEVER, JUST RECENTLY IT HAS BEEN STAYING ON LONGER AND HARDER TO GET TO GO OFF. IT HAS ALSO BEEN COMING ON WHEN DRIVING AND I HAVE TO PULLOVER TO TRY TO GET THIS TO TURN OFF. I CANNOT LOCK THE DOORS WHEN THIS HAPPENS CAUSING A VERY UNSAFE TRAVEL ALONG WITH THE LIGHTS STAYING ON. IF I HAD KIDS IN MY VEHICLE I WOULD FEEL THEY COULD OPEN THE DOORS DUE TO THIS FAILURE AND FALL OUT. WHEN DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENS THE LIGHT COMES ON AND CAUSES A GLARE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! EVEN AFTER FORD DOES THEIR "CLEANING" TO THE DOOR IT STILL HAPPENS AFTER A COUPLE MONTHS. THE DOOR LATCH AND...

LEFT DOOR SENSOR/LATCH IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AFTER 65,000 MILES. AFFECTS DOOR LOCKS WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED. THE DOOR LOCKS GO UP AND DOWN INTERMITTENTLY AND UNEXPECTANTLY. AFFECTS OVERHEAD LIGHTING AND THE REMOTE START. DANGEROUS TO HAVE THE DOORS NOT LOCKED ESPECIALLY IF YOUNG KIDS ARE IN BACK SEAT.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH IS FAULTY. CLAIMS THE DOOR IS OPEN, EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT. UNABLE TO LOCK DOORS, AND NOW JUST GOT A DEAD BATTERY BECAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON.

DOOR LATCH DOES NOT FULLY SHUT DRIVERS SIDE. LIGHTS AND DOOR AJAR REMAIN ON. EVEN IF OFF DURING DRIVING THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT MAY COME ON SUDDENLY AFTER TURNING CORNERS. ONLINE COMMENTS SUGGEST LATCH SENSOR ARM CONTINUES TO TOUCH DOOR LATCH WHEN CLOSED OR DOOR LATCH DOES NOT FULLY ENGAGE.

DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK, CAN POP OPEN WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION.

THE CAR CANNOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED. THE LIGHT PANEL WILL SHOW DOOR OPEN, A LIGHT WILL COME ON TELLING ME THE DOOR IS OPEN, SHIFT INTO PARK, AND IF I AM DRIVING, SOUNDS WILL CHIME UNTIL I PARK. THE DOOR OCCASIONALLY WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS CLOSED, BUT 80% OF THE TIME, IT WILL NOT. I,WAS TOLD AT THE DEALER THAT THE PROBLEM IS COMMON IN FORDS AND THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE LATCH MECHANISM IN THE DOOR.

THE REAR DOOR IS CONTINUALLY STATING THAT IT IS AJAR AND ALL DOORS REFUSE TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN PUT IN "DRIVE".

FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH WARNING LIGHT AND INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING, DOOR NEEDS TO BE SLAMMED SHUT A COUPLE OF TIMES FOR WARNING LIGHTS TO TURN OFF. WARNING LIGHT APPEARS MORE FREQUENTLY AND NOW APPEARING WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON, UNTIL DOOR IS SLAMMED SHUT.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSING MECHANISM FAILS CHRONICALLY, RESULTING IN ONGOING ALARMS, WHICH IS DISTRACTING THE DRIVER, AND AN A LEARNED DISREGARD TO THE DOOR POSITION.

DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD INDICATE THE DOOR WAS OPEN AT VARIOUS RANDOM TIMES, EVEN WHEN IT WAS CLOSED. TOOK CAR TO DEALER 3/2013 WHERE THEY SERVICED THE LATCH AND THE ISSUE RESOLVED FOR ABOUT A YEAR. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER AND THEY WOULDN'T REPAIR IT UNLESS I PAID FOR A NEW LATCH. CLEANING AND LUBRICATING THE LATCH SOMETIMES HELPED FOR A FEW HOURS OR DAYS BUT THE PROBLEM ALWAYS RETURNED. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING OR NOT, AND BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING. REPLACED THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY 8/2016 (WHICH CONTAINS THE DOOR SWITCH) AND THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THE REPLACEMENT LATCH ASSEMBLY PART NO. 8T4Z-7821813-B HAS BEEN UPDATED TWICE PER FORD PARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE 'DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SECURELY LOCKED ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR MECHANISM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT COMES ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT. IT'S BLINDING AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FACT IT LEAVES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ON CAUSING YOU NOT TO SEE OUTSIDE AND UNSAFE DRIVING WITH UNLOCKED DOORS WITH KIDS

IN 2015 WE TOOK OUR EDGE IN TO THE SHOP BECAUSE THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR WOULD STILL BE ON WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE DOORS TO LOCK GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WOULD HAVE AN ANNOYING MESSAGE TELLING ME TO SHIFT TO PARK AS I CAME UP TO A RED LIGHT. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD CLEAN IT AND THAT SHOULD FIX IT BUT THAT WOULD ONLY BE TEMPORARY AND THAT THEY WOULD PROBABLY EVENTUALLY REPLACE THE SWITCH. AGAIN THIS MONTH, JULY 2016, IT HAS STARTED AGAIN. THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGES AND NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK THE DOOR AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON ALL HAPPENING AGAIN. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, EVEN AFTER THEY REPLACE THE SWITCH, THIS DOESN'T COMPLETELY FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WILL START TO OCCUR AGAIN AFTER A FEW MONTHS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THE...

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON WHILE DOOR IS CLOSED (IN MOTION, IDLE AND OFF), RESULTING IN THE BATTERY TO BE DRAINED IF LEFT OFF TOO LONG. THIS HAS LEFT ME NEEDING TO GET A JUMP IF OUT AND MULTIPLE TIMES CHARGE MY BATTERY IF IT SITS TOO LONG.

DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. PREVENTS DRIVER FROM KNOWING OF A REAL DOOR AJAR SITUATION. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON, CREATING A NIGHT DRIVING HAZARD AND WHEN SITTING IN CAR AT NIGHT. DOORS NO LONGER LOCK WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. FAULTY LATCH OR SENSOR. ALL ISSUES STEMMING FOR FAULTY DOOR LATCH OR SENSOR. THIS HAS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS.

"DRIVER DOOR AJAR" AROUND 40K PLUS MILES WE STARTED GETTING THIS ISSUE. EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSE IT KEEPS SAYING "DRIVER DOOR AJAR". IT WON'T LOCK THE DOOR BECAUSE OF THIS. EVEN WHEN YOU PARKED AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE ONCE YOU TRY TO LOCK THE DOOR IT WON'T. THIS MAY CAUSE POTENTIAL BATTERY DAMAGE OR WORST PEOPLE CAN JUST SIMPLY OPEN YOUR DOOR WHEN YOU ARE IN A STOP WHILE ON THE ROAD. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON, TRY YOUTUBE AND SEARCH FOR FORD DOOR AJAR. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING THIS ISSUE BUT STILL NO RECALL.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. IT KEEPS ME FROM LOCKING THE DOORS WHILE INSIDE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ISSUE FIXED WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE DRIVER DOOR BUT THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING AGAIN WITH THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THIS ISSUE IS PRESENT AT ALL TIMES.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH IS DEFECTIVE. THE DOOR IS AJAR LIKE STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. INSIDE CABIN AND DOME LIGHTS STAY ON WHICH CREATES A HAZARD AT NIGHT. MORE IMPORTANTLY THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WITH THE "DOOR IS AJAR" SIGNAL ON. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME BECAUSE MY WIFE (WHOSE CAR IT IS) CAN BE SUBJECT TO A POTENTIAL CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. ADDITIONALLY IT POSES A THREAT TO MY GRANDCHILDREN BECAUSE WE CANNOT ENGAGE THE CHILD LOCK SAFETY FEATURE. FORD TOLD ME IF WOULD COST $400 JUST IN LABOR AND NOT INCLUDING PART TO REPAIR. TO KEEP MY BATTERY FROM DRAINING I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS. ANOTHER PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM A MAJOR MANUFACTURER. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO CORRECT IT. MY CAR ONLY HAS 42K. WHAT'S TO BE DONE.

THE DRIVER SIDE LATCH AND DOOR AJAR SENSOR ARE DEFECTIVE. THE CAR DOES NOT PROPERLY REGISTER THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS FORCES THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND SOUND TO REPEATEDLY GO OFF. THIS ALSO KEEPS THE DOME LIGHT ON WHEN SHUTTING THE DOOR THUS KILLING THE BATTERY. ALSO, YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH KIDS AND WITH ITEMS IN THE CAR BEING STOLEN.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALWAYS ON, SOMETIMES DOORS WANT LOCK WITH DOOR AJAR, MAKES CAR UNSAFE INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON, UNSAFE. ENGINE LIGHT ON, HAS CAME ON TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, FIRST CODE CHECK EVAP EMISSION SYSTEM.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON EVEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED SO THAT WHEN DRIVING ALL OF DOORS CAN'T LOCKED. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DRIVING.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON SAYING DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS OPEN. TAKES SEVERAL DOOR SLAMS TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. SAFETY ISSUES: LIGHT STAYS ON DAY OR NIGHT. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING AND THERE ARE KIDS IN THIS CAR. CAN'T LOCK DOORS OR SET YOUR ALARM WHEN LEAVING YOUR CAR=THEFT. I DID THE RECALL JUNE 6, 2015 AND NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. BROUGHT IT TO FORD TODAY JUNE 2, 2016 AND QUOTED FIX PRICE IS $600.00. CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR US.

FORD EDGE LATCH DOOR AJAR DOME LIGHTS STAY ON

THE SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE CIRCUIT THAT DETECTS IF THE DRIVER DOOR IS CLOSED OR NOT IS DEFECTIVE. AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK (INCLUDING THE REAR DOORS) AUTOMATICALLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ALSO, DUE TO THE VEHICLE BELIEVING THE DOOR IS OPEN, IT WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY AND LEAVE THE CAR UNABLE TO START AFTER PARKING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, OR WHEN MOVING, AND WILL EVEN FAIL WHILE DRIVING EVEN AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR MANY TIMES TO ENSURE THE SWITCH ENDS UP IN THE RIGHT CONDITION. AT TIMES, IT TAKES 30 OR MORE OPEN CLOSE CYCLES FOR THE SWITCH TO OPERATE CORRECTLY, BUT WILL SOMETIMES "OPEN" AGAIN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

DRIVER'S DOOR "AJAR" ALARM IS ON CONTINUOUSLY, EVEN WHEN DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. ALARM NOTIFICATION AND CHIME COMES ON EVERY TIME CARE STARTS MOVING FORWARD. NOTIFICATION STATES TO PUT CAR IN PARK. INTERNET SEARCHES REVEAL THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE.

MY DOOR AJAR ALARM STAYS ON EVEN AFTER THE DOOR IS CLOSE SECURELY. GOT FIX LAST YEAR AND IT HAD AGAIN. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON ALL THE FORD VEHICLES APPARENTLY. PLEASE RECALL THIS ERROR.

DURING ACCELERATION A STRONG EXHAUST ODOR ENTERS THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE FORD SERVICE AT THE DEALER STATED THAT FORD HAS ISSUED A BULLETIN STATING THAT THE BODY SEAMS IN BACK NEAR THE REAR BUMPER NEED TO BE RESEALED, VENTS REPLACED AND A FUSER USED TO SEAL THE BODY. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE - ALLOWING DANGEROUS EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. FORD REFUSES TO CORRECT THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE.

EXPERIENCED 2 SEPARATE INCIDENTS OF CONSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH DOOR AJAR LIGHT BEING SIGNALED WHEN IN FACT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. FIRST INCIDENT AT 37027 MILES, SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY. SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AT 54000 MILES. SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO NEEDING TO PUT CAR IN PARK IN ORDER TO ATTEMPT ANOTHER DOOR CLOSE. MUST OFTEN SLAM THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF. TSB 14-0083 SUGGESTS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES.
