2013 FORD EDGE Structurebody Problems

FORD EDGE 2013 ERROR CODE "DOOR AJAR" WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING WHEN THE DOOR WAS ACTUALLY CLOSED. DOOR WOULD HAVE TO BE REPEATEDLY CLOSED IN ORDER TO MAKE THE "DOOR AJAR" ERROR GO AWAY. "DOOR AJAR" ERROR WOULD COME BACK EVEN IF THE DOOR WAS CLOSED SUCCESSFULLY WITHOUT THE ERROR BEFORE. WHILE DRIVING, "DOOR AJAR" WARNING WOULD SOUND OFF TRIGGERING DASHBOARD LIGHTS WHICH WOULD STARTLE THE DRIVER AND CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED, "DOOR AJAR" ERROR WOULD PREVENT LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE FROM TURNING OFF. "DOOR AJAR" ERROR WOULD PREVENT THE DOORS FROM BEING LOCKED VIA REMOTE OR LOCK BUTTON IN THE CAR.

DORR AJAR WILL NOT GO OFF AND THE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK ALSO THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR WILL NOT SHUT OFF. THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL APPROX MOVING 5MPH. A FEW TIMES THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THE DOORS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED, AS THE SYSTEM THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. AFTER STOPPING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE, YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOOR USING THE KEY LESS ENTRY KEYPAD. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK THE DOORS IS TO USE THE KEY FOB. THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, NOW THE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR ALARM IS CONSTANTLY ACTIVATED, EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT TIGHTLY. BECAUSE THE DOOR AJAR IS ALWAYS ACTIVATED MY CAR ALARM HAS STARTED GOING OFF RANDOMLY, SO NOW I CAN NO LONGER LOCK MY CAR WITHOUT FEAR THAT THE ALARM WILL BE SET OFF WHILE I'M AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING THE SENSOR FOR THE DOOR AJAR KEEPS DINGING, WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING AND CAUSES CONFUSION. IT ALSO REFUSES TO GO OFF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRY CLOSING THE DOOR, SO THERE IS NO WAY SO STOP THE DINGING OR ALARMS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION.

MY DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AND WILL NOT LOCK THE DOORS EVEN THOUGH IT IS CLEARLY SHUT COMPLETELY. THIS ALLOWS THE DOME LIGHT TO REMAIN ON ALSO. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF OPENING AND SHUTTING IT FINALLY REGISTERS THAT IT IS CLOSED. HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK AT IT HE CLEANED IT AND LUBED IT WHICH CLEARED IT FOR A DAY BUT IS DOING IT AGAIN. LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS A WHOLE NEW DOOR LATCH. I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALL FROM FORD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPROX. 1 MONTH BUT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS THE INTERIOR LIGHT FROM GOING OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT DUE TO IT CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES TO HAVE THE LIGHT ON. IT ALSO PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. ANYONE COULD OPEN MY CAR DOORS WHILE STOPPED AT A SIGNAL LIGHT OR PARKED IN PARKING LOT. IF YOU TRY TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK AGAIN. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART IMMEDIATELY. THIS ISSUE IS AFFECTING MANY FORD OWNERS WITH VARIOUS MODELS SPANNING 2007-2014 AND IT HAPPENS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. MY PROBLEM STARTED AT 39,0000 MILES AND THE WARRANT EXPIRED AT 36,000 MILES.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND WARNING TONES REMAIN ON WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON. DOORS CAN NOT BE LOCKED PROPERLY...

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING SIGN AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. IT POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT PREVENTS YOU FROM LOCKING THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM LAST YEAR AND I HAD IT FIXED AT A LOCAL FORD SERVICE CENTER BUT THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PART MALFUNCTION AS IT PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD.

TAKATA RECALL: DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR INDICATOR STAYS ON WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO STAY ON. AT NIGHT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WILL BACKING UP THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND HAS CAUSE ME TO BACK INTO TRASH CAN. I'M VERY FORTUNATE IT WASN'T A PERSON OR VEHICLE. MY DOORS WILL NOT LOCK THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT I TRANSPORT DOWN SOME HIGH CRIME AREAS. ALSO MY GAS CAP SEAL DOESN'T SEAL PROPERLY WHEN I GET GAS MY CAR IS HARD TO START.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR CLAIMS THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT. THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE STAY ON AND THE DASH WILL SAY DRIVER DOOR AJAR. IF YOU SHIFT TO DRIVE, THEN THE CAR WILL DING AND ASK YOU TO SHIFT TO PARK.

MY FORD EDGE 2013 IS NOT TURNING OFF THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS WHEN I CLOSE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND WHEN DRIVING I GET A WARNING STATING THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR.SOMETIMES AFTER SLAMMING THE DRIVER DOOR TWO TO THREE TIMES IT GOES AWAY.IT HAS BECOME QUIET ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS WHEN I DRIVE SINCE IT BECOMES A CONSTANT DISTRACTION.I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATE THAT EITHER THE SENSOR OR THE LATCH HAVE BECOME FAULTY..REALLY?...I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME FOR FORD TO DO A RECALL AND CORRECT THIS ISSUE SINCE I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER FORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE IN THERE OFFICES.

THE DRIVERS DOOR IS SHOWING OPEN ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL EVEN WHEN CLOSED. THERE IS ALSO AND AUDIBLE ALARM WARNING THAT THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED. THE DOOR LOCK FEATURE WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I AM UNSURE IF THE DOOR IS SAFELY LATCHED AT ALL

THE DOOR OPEN SENSOR COMES ON WHEN I AM DRIVING WHEN THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED AND THEN THE INTERIOR LIGHT COMES ON, IT WILL ALSO COME ON WHEN I AM PARKED WHEN IT IS CLOSED. I HAD IT REPLACED WITHIN THE LAST YEAR AND IT IS DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING AGAIN. ALSO WHEN MY EDGE IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT IT WILL SMELL LIKE FUEL IN THE MORNINGS. IT SMELLS LIKE THERE IS A LEAK.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT GOES ON. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME THING STILL NOT FIXED. THIS WEEKEND SOON AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I DO NOT REMEMBER THE DATE THEY WILL HAVE IT AT THE MECHANIC I'M SURE OR SOMEWHERE IN MY FILE FOLDERS

ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 2015, THE DRIVERS' SIDE DOOR WILL BE FIRMLY CLOSED AND THE 'DOOR AJAR' ALARM WILL CONTINUALLY SOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL REPEATEDLY SOUND DESPITE REPEATED OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE DOOR. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION FOR ABOUT 100 FEET, THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT FUNCTION (STAY UNLOCKED), AND THE DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL CONTINUALLY SOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP OR SLOWS DOWN TO LESS THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 THAT THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND DRIVEN. THIS OCCURS WHEN IN MOTION, STATIONARY, ON OUR DRIVEWAY, ON THE CITY STREETS OR OTHER ROADWAYS, ETC.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STOPPED WORKING (MAKING THE CAR THINK THE DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN IT WAS IN FACT CLOSED). THIS PREVENTS THE CAR FROM LOCKING WHILE DRIVING (A SAFETY ISSUE) AND ALSO CAUSES THE DOME LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING (A FURTHER SAFETY ISSUE). IT ALSO CAUSES THE DRIVER DISPLAY TO BEEP AND MAKE DISTRACTING POPUP MENUS WHILE DRIVING, WHICH CAN DISTRACT THE DRIVER. I PREVIOUSLY HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT IT HAS RE-OCCURRED ON THE SAME DOOR. THEN I GOOGLED IT AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH LOTS OF FORD DOOR SENSORS DATING BACK SEVERAL YEARS.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT OFTEN STAYS ON OR SUDDENLY COMES ON WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK (OR WILL UNLOCK) AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT COMES ON. THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BACK UP AT NIGHT. IT WILL SOMETIME HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS JUST SITTING IN THE GARAGE WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING AND NO PASSENGERS IN IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR MANY REASONS. AGAIN, IT HAS HAPPENED SITTING, WHEN FIRST STARTED AND WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WILL PUT IN A DATE BELOW BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

DOOR LATCH INCORRECTLY REPORTS THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT. THIS TURNS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AND DRAINS THE BATTERY, ALSO WILL NOT LET YOU TURN ON THE ALARM. ALSO MAKES YOU PULL OVER TO SHUT THE DOOR. HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE TWICE AND THEY FIXED IT, AT LEASE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THAN IT CAME BACK. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, BUT NOT EVERYTIME.

WITH ALL DOORS CLOSED SECURELY, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING SOUNDS. IT SEEMS TO BE ONLY THE DRIVERS DOOR AT THIS TIME. WHEN THE DOOR AJAR WARNING IS ACTIVE, THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, AND THERE IS A PERSISTENT CHIME THAT SOUNDS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IN PARK, IN DRIVE, AND WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN THE ROAD. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER FOR THIS, ONCE DURING WARRANTY, AND RECENTLY WHILE OUT OF WARRANTY. DEALER WANTS $433.14 TO REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, DRIVERS DOOR. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE AT NIGHT.

DOOR AJAR SWITCH KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. DOOR WILL BE COMPLETELY CLOSED AND WARNING LIGHT COMES ON SAYING DRIVER'S DOOR IS STILL OPEN. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND WARNING LIGHT COMES ON TO TELL YOU TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. FOUND MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH SAME PROBLEM. FORD CHARGING $300.00 TO $500.00 TO REPLACE SWITCH. WE HAVE TAKING IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED ADJUSTMENT. SWITCH IS NOW MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR BEING FIXED.

CAR DISPLAYS A WARNING LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS NOT PROPERLY CLOSED. FORD DEALER CLEANED AND ADJUSTED DOOR LATCH BUT THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR IN DRIVER DOOR REMAINS IN "AJAR" STATUS EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS CAUSES AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION WITH THE FOLLOWING: 1. CONTINUOUS ALERT 2. DOME LIGHT REMAINS LIT, CAUSING VISION ISSUE WHILE NIGHT DRIVING 3. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK THE LAST ONE IS THE MOST CONCERNING AS IT COULD CREATE A SITUATION WHERE A DOOR MAY ACCIDENTALLY BE OPENED DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. ALSO COULD CREATE ISSUES IN HIGHER CRIME AREAS AT STOPLIGHTS (SOMEONE COULD ACCESS THE CAR DUE TO NOT BEING LOCKED) THIS SITE REQUIRES ME TO LIST A DATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND I HAVE ENTERED THE FIRST DAY I REMEMBER IT, BUT IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

BOTH THE DRIVER AND DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR LATCHES AND SENSOR FAILED. THE SENSOR BELIEVES THAT THE DOORS ARE AJAR WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE NOT. BECAUSE OF THIS FAILURE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING UNTIL YOU REACH A CERTAIN SPEED. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO SEE OUT. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO STAY ON FOR A VERY LONG TIME AFTER YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. IF YOU TAKE THIS IN TO BE FIXED IT COSTS AT LEAST $345.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR CONTINUOUSLY GOING OFF WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. CONTINUES TO STAY ON AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO SHUT DOOR TO MAKE ALARM GO OFF. MAKES IT A DRIVING DISTRACTION.. HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND WE JUST TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE REPAIRED. OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP WANTED OVER $500 TO REPAIR. WE CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR RIGHT NOW SO WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT UNTIL WE CAN. AGAIN, A MAJOR DRIVING DISTRACTION

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SENSE THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THIS RESULTS IN THE DOORS NOT LOCKING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. IT ALSO CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON FOR A LONG TIME. I THINK THAT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD.

ONCE AGAIN THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED, AND ALL DOORS/HATCH ARE PROPERLY CLOSED. I HAVE TO SLAM THE DRIVER'S DOOR VERY HARD MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT WILL GO OFF AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE LOCKED, AND THE ALARM TO BE SET!!! MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE FRUSTRATING THING IS I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER IN JUNE AND THEY CLAIM THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. WELL, THEY WERE WRONG, VERY WRONG!

THE DOOR LATCH IS DEFECTIVE. IT READS THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS REALLY CLOSED.

WHEN CLOSING DRIVERS DOOR INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON WILL NOT SHUT OFF AFTER REPEATED TRYS TO RECLOSE DOOR. ALSO DOOR AJAR LIGHT IN DASH REMAINS ON. CANNOT TRUST WARNING DISPLAY IF DOOR IS PROPERLY SHUT. HAVE HAD PROBLEM CHECKED AND TOLD THE DOOR AJAR SWITCH IS MALFUNCTIONING. HAPPENS 90% OF THE TIME.

DRIVER DOOR SHOWS AJAR EVEN WHEN CLOSED. HAVE TO CLOSE MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE SWITCH TO RECOGNIZE IT IS CLOSED.

DOOR ADJAR WARNING KEEPS COMING ON EVEN AFTER DOOR IS SHUT HARD. BEEN TOLD IT'S A FAULTY DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY BY DEALER. VEHICLE DOES THIS WHEN STATIONARY.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALARM. DOOR IS CLOSED BUT SWITCH IS NOT MADE UP. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM BEING LOCKED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IF THE LOCK SWITCH IS ACTUATED, 2 SECONDS LATER IT UNLOCKS ALL DOORS. THIS COULD BE HAZARDOUS WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE OR WHEN DRIVING IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS BUT REFUSES TO RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOT DEEMED A SAFETY ISSUE BY THEM.

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 WANTS BETWEEN $300 AND $500 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART (COST $90) DUE TO HAVING TO DISMANTLE THE DOOR TO ACCESS THE PART. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THERE ARE DO IT YOURSELFERS REPAIRING OR DISABLING THE SENSOR, WHICH COULD CREATE OTHER DANGERS IF THE DOOR IS NOT PROPERLY RECONSTRUCTED. FURTHER INTERNET RESEARCH REVEALED THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE ABOUT 1996 AND IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ACROSS SEVERAL MODELS AND PLATFORMS (CARS, TRUCKS...

WHEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS CLOSED, THE DOOR OPEN SENSOR CHIMES & THE DOOR OPEN INDICATOR IS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. IF I SILENCE IT, THE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND ANYTIME I COME TO A STOP AND MY FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE, THE ALARMS START CHIMING AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 10/3/14 FOR THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS TWO OTHER ISSUE, ONE OF WHICH IS PART OF THE DOOR PANEL POPPING APART. WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK, THE PROBLEM NO LONGER EXISTED. FAST FORWARD TO THIS LAST MONTH. THE DOOR WAS AGAIN BECOMING AN ISSUE. MEANING, THE PROBLEM EXISTED EVERY TIME I CLOSED MY DOOR BUT IF I KEPT CLOSING AND OPENING THE DOOR, EVENTUALLY AFTER 5-6 TIMES, THE CAR WOULD REGISTER THE DOOR AS CLOSED. I MADE AN APT TELLING THE SERVICE GUY THAT I WAS HAVING THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND...

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT FOR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,507.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE OR LOCK, WHICH CAUSED THE INTERIOR LIGHTING TO REMAIN ON AND DRAIN THE BATTERY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT NO WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

THE DOOR LOCK SENSOR HAS BECOME DEFECTIVE ON THE CAR CAUSING THE DOOR AJAR WARNING TO STAY ON AT ALL TIMES. BEING A NURSE, I GO TO WORK VERY EARLY AND TRAVEL FOR 30 MILES EACH WAY. WHEN THIS ISN'T SENSOR ISN'T WORKING THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND THERE IS A CONSTANT DINGING NOISE TO CLOSE THE DOOR AGAIN EVERY TIME I STOP. DRIVING TO DOWNTOWN DALLAS IS VERY UNSAFE IN THE MY CAR NOW. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR MILES AND IT IS HARD TO DRIVE IN THE DARK WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. TWO DEALERSHIPS SAY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE FORD EDGE AND THEY HAVE RECEIVED BULLETINS ON THE PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL. THEY SAY THE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OUT AND CLEANED, IT IS NOT BROKEN THEREFORE THE WARRANTY NOR EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT...

DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON, INABILITY TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN VEHICLE.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON THE DASH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT. THE DOOR NEEDS TO BE SLAMMED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE LIGHT EXTINGUISHES, BUT SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO OUT AT ALL. THIS LEAVES DRIVER WITH AN INSECURE FEELING THE CAR DOOR IS NOT SECURELY CLOSED WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE FROM WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET.

DRIVER DOOR AGAR LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. I HAVE TO REPETITIVELY SLAM MY DOOR FIFTEEN TO TWENTY TIMES FOR LIGHT TO GO OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE INSIDE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT IS DRAINING MY BATTERY. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD VEHICLES AND I VOICED MY CONCERN TO THEM AND TOLD THEM THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE AT FORD'S EXPENSE NOT OWNERS EXPENSE. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID TO SAVE MY RECEIPT IF THERE IS AN UPCOMING RECALL.

THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AFTER THE BREAK PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WHICH RESULTED IN A CRASH INTO A TREE. DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP. AT LEAST THREE OTHER INCIDENTS WHERE THE CAR SURGED FORWARD BUT DID NOT RESULT IN A CRASH. TOOK THE CAR TO FUTURE FORD AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NOTHING WAS DONE. LATEST EVENT ON 5/22/2015 WHERE THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. IN BOTH INCIDENTS, WE WERE LUCKY IN THAT NOBODY WAS INJURED. THE SURGES LAST ABOUT 4 TO 5 SECONDS.THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOTHING IS DONE TO STOP THE SURGE EXCEPT PUSH HARDER ON THE BREAK PEDAL. FUTURE FORD SERVICE MANAGER STATED NOTHING CAN BE DONE WITHOUT POSITIVE PROOF IN THE ERROR CODES.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON. MAYBE SEVERAL TIMES OF CLOSING IT REAL HARD TURNS IT OFF L. WILL EVEN ILLUMINATE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STREET, SUDDENLY THE "DRIVERS DOOR AJAR" ALARM AND WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ON THE DASH, THE DOOR WAS SECURED SHUT, BUT INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON AS IF DOOR WAS OPEN. SINCE THE INITIAL DATE OF INCIDENT THE VEHICLE NOW DOES THIS DURING OPERATION, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, OR IN MOTION. A CALL TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT IT WAS INDICATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT OF HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF LATE MODEL FORD OWNERS AND THAT, STILL AT THIS TIME, FORDMOCO HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE DOOR LATCHES, THUS IF NOT UNDER THEIR 3YR/36,000MILE WARRANTY THE PART WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT THE VEHICLE OWNERS EXPENSE OF AROUND $400-$500 U.S. FOR THE PART AND REPAIR. I WAS DIRECTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT VIA SAFERCAR.GOV WEBSITE, AND TO ALSO EXPLORE MANY INTERNET WEBSITES AND FORUMS RELATED TO THIS ONGOING...

2013 FORD EDGE DRIVER DOOR SENSOR REMAINS AJAR, I CLOSE THE DOOR MORE THAN 7 TIMES FOR THE INSIDE LIGHT TO TURN OFF. WHILE DRIVING THE SENSOR WILL TURN ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK.

A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED DOWN AND WHEN I WENT TO TAKE MY FOOT OF THE GAS MY TENNIS SHOE GOT CAUGHT ON THE PLASTIC TRIM ON THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT NEXT TO THE GAS PEDAL.. I HAD TO PULL HARD TO GET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL THE EDGES HAD THE TRIM AND THEY DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN MY LEG WAS RESTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE GAS PEDAL. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE ILLINOIS FREEWAY. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED DOWN AND BY THE TIME I GOT MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES QUICKLY AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME. I THINK FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO MODIFY THE TRIM IN...

DOOR AJAR SWITCH NOT WORKING PROPERLY - IT INTERMITTENTLY INDICATES THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, AND "DOOR AJAR" WARNING IS ANNUNCIATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING, AND CANNOT BE LOCKED AFTER PARKING IF TRYING TO USE THE EXTERIOR KEYPAD. *TR

VEHICLE DOOR IS CLOSED BUT WARNING READS DOOR AJAR. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK BECAUSE THE DOOR IS AJAR BUT IT'S NOT. INSIDE STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 2 MIN WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES I GET I'M AND THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS THEN THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK AND THE DOOR AJAR SHIFT TO PARK POPS ON. OR I COULD BE DRIVING WITH THE DOOR AJAR WARNING ON BUT DOORS ARE CLOSED THEN THE DOORS LOCK AND WARNING GOES AWAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SENSOR BUT THE DOOR CLOSES BUT DOES NOT LATCH. *TR

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
