The driver side door latch not working properly indicates the door is opened when it is closed. There for the dome light stays on till the car reaches 20 miles per hour or about a city block witch makes it hard to drive and cover the dome light at night so U can see out the windshield so not to be blinded by the light.

Please consider reviewing this issue. Electrical contact on door latch does not sense that the drivers side door is properly shut. Door will not lock, dome light will not go out, as a woman I really don't want people to see that I am alone and female when driving at night or waiting...especially when I am unable to lock the door. Door ajar indicator stays on, conditioning you to ignore it. Driving with the dome light on is illegal and an unsafe practice. This is an extremely dangerous condition and I'm certain that this "known defect" has already resulted in loss of life. Additionally, I took my vehicle to my local for dealer and they repaired it in may of 2014 for $375. It worked for 3 months and then the defect returned. I brought it back and they said since they did not replace the part ( they only cleaned the electrical contacts) it was not under warranty.

The driver door ajar alert would not go off and neither would the interior lights even though the door was shut. The lights would stay on while driving and the doors would not lock once I started driving either since it was saying the driver door was open. I'm waiting for the batter to just die since my interior lights stay on for a long time after I shut and lock my doors because the driver door ajar alert never goes off. I've called multiple dealerships and they won't cover it because there is no recall on it. There needs to be a recall on this issue because I don't know if my door is every really shut, my interior lights will only go off after I've been driving for a few minutes and the doors won't even lock right!

Drivers side door ajar light on. Interior lighting will not turn off. User can't lock doors while driving. Dome light stays on draining battery.

- Baltimore, MD, USA

The driver door latch sensor (driver door ajar) will not go out after closing the door. The interior lights stay on and the doors will not lock because of it. This is a safety issue since anyone could just walk up and open your door since it will not lock. I had the same issue with my 2008 Edge this is a known problem that has been going on for years why is nothing getting done about this to make them put a recall out for the problem?

The door ajar light remains on when the door is closed. Currently this is the 3rd time this has occurred. The first was the driver door which occurred in December of 2012. The latch was replaced by the local dealer under warranty. The second occurrence took place in September of 2014. This time the driver side passenger door malfunctioned. The latch was replaced at owners expense. Currently the driver door again is malfunctioning. Each time the door is closed the door ajar light remains on. After repeated attempts of closing the door the light may or may not go out. When on the interior lights will remain on. This seems to be a common occurrence with the Ford Edge especially the 2011 models.

- Chatsworth, GA, USA

The door ajar sensor will not allow the door to be locked while in motion. Additionally, it will force the interior light to remain illuminated after removing the key which then drains the battery requiring constant roadside assistance.

- Seattle, WA, USA

Open or close doors sensors defective. Happens in almost all Ford Edge vehicles.

Driver door ajar comes on when door has not been used. This prevents the door from being locked and is therefore a major safety issues. There are multiple internet reports.

- Hermitage, TN, USA

The "door ajar" message comes on when the driver's side door is completely closed. I cannot lock the doors when this message is displayed. This is a very serious safety feature, occupants of the vehicle could be subject to a car jacking etc.. also, the interior light stays on when the message is displayed causing my battery to drain, I had to purchase a new one $102 which I should be reimbursed for. There should be a recall on this problem considering the driver and occupants safety is compromised.

- Fairfield Twp, OH, USA

A right front door ajar warning is reported by the vehicle, but the door is completely shut - have to slam door multiple times to get warning to go off - overhead lights will randomly come as a result which affects your ability to see traffic at night - this problem is still on going on a daily basis - the reported cost of repair is $300 to $500 for a problem that should not be happening.

- West Monroe, LA, USA

The driver door latch sensor (driver door ajar) will not go out after closing the door. The interior lights stay on and the doors will not lock because of it.

- Grove City, OH, USA

Driver door ajar notification stays on despite door being securely shut. Vehicle doors will not lock once car starts and must lock manually after turning engine off, locking, and restarting vehicle. Can not use keyless entry to lock from outside. Can not lock from door if vehicle running, as the locks will automatically unlock afterwards. Interior light stays on when in reverse and complicates ability to back up at night while trying to visualize objects/pedestrians that may be behind vehicle.

Last week I reported a fire that destroyed my car only seconds after I saw smoke and got out. After reading all the 'door ajar' complaints I wanted to add that I too had a problem with the "door ajar" warning happening over the last 6 months or so. It wasn't continuous, sometimes when I slammed the door really hard it would go off, but when leaving the car at night in the driveway sometimes I'd have to slam the door many times for the lights on the car to go off. I found that if the door ajar warning would not go on when I started it up to drive, if I pushed the "ok" control on the steering wheel the ceiling light would go off, but the door ajar red lighted symbol on the dash would stay on. Since the fire in my car was deemed caused by an electrical source by the fire chief, I wonder if this electrical/sensor issue could have anything to do with it. I'm shopping for a new car now, and I just found the same "door ajar" problems on the 2012 - 2014 models of the Edge. Has anyone looked into the risk of fire from this issue" it seems a problem like this going on for years in the Ford Edge should be a recall and consumers should not have to foot the bill for this problem. When does the government enforce a recall on a part that continues to fail" the complaints on the nhtsb page can only be a small percentage of the actual problems, since most people don't know about the nhtsb or this page to submit a complaint.
