The driver side door does not always register as closed. While driving at speed with the door securely closed it will display warnings on the dash, unlock all doors (including rear doors with my children in the backseats) and turn on the dome lights. This has happened when starting the car, while traveling and when parked and idling. It also means that I cannot lock my doors when I leave it parked. It causes interior and exterior lights to remain lit when car is off and drain the battery. I am concerned for the safety of me and my family as well as the security of my vehicle.

- Fort Myers, FL, USA

The door latch for the driver side door does not latch properly. Majority of the time it will continue to say door ajar no matter how many times you try to reopen and close the door. Can be worrisome not knowing if the door is fully closed. This just randomly started happening.

Drivers side door ajar light stays on the whole time during driving conditions on my 2012 Ford Edge, the dome light also stays on making it very difficult to drive the car in the night time. When parked the dome lights stay on during this period also. This started happening on a fulltime basis in Sept 2016

The driver door latch has a censor that goes out and causes the car door to think it's open when it is actually closed. This is a safety issue as you could be driving down the road with the dome light on. Or not paying attention when it keeps beeping at you while your driving. There are thousands of cases for the car. This needs to be recalled. This is costing owners $500 for a defect in Ford.

While driving home from work last week, the drivers door ajar alarm sounded, the interior lights came on and the door locks disengaged. I pulled into a parking lot to re-close the door; which silenced the alarm; but the interior lights stayed on. As I pulled out and got back up to the speed the locks would normally engage, the drivers door alarm sounded again, interior lights remained on and locks never engaged, even when pressing the lock button. Pulled over a 2nd time - with the same result. The third time I pulled off the road, I shut the vehicle off and sat for about 5 minutes. Again, the same plus the shift into park alarm also sounded as soon as I reached speed when the locks should engage. I continued home listening to 2 alarms blare, the interior lights limiting my view and the doors refusing to lock. When I got home, the interior lights stayed on for almost an hour after I got out of the vehicle; it wasn't until I pulled the exterior door handle a couple times that the lights went out. The next morning, my drive to work was uneventful; that evening on my way home, both alarms are going off, interior lights are on and doors will not lock. On the second evening, I noticed the door ajar warning never came on after I started the vehicle until I reached the speed the door locks should have engaged.

In April 2016, we started experiencing an issue with the drivers door latch not connecting and our drivers door ajar light staying on. We would manually have to reopen the latch to close the door but this still didn't always make this door ajar light do out. There were times we would have to close the door up to 5 times to get the light to go out and feel that the door was closed. It was worse on a trip at the end of April to Florida in which we were unable to get this to happen and couldn't get our interior lights to go out since it was telling us the door was still open. This issue would happen while parked or driving. The light would be out when leaving the driveway and then come on while on the road! we had this checked three times, first two unsuccessful and the third we were told it was a broken door latch and wasn't covered so we had it repaired at the cost of $329.85! then I hear there are recalls on other Ford models but the Edge was not on the list and it is the exact same issue that is listed and described in the recall of many other Ford vehicles!

Dashboard computer says rear door is ajar when it's not, will not the doors lock and dome late stays

- Wayne, PA, USA

Driver door ajar warning remains on at all times. Even when door is securely slammed shut. This causes a warning to appear on the dash, the "dinging" continues every time the brake is released, the dome light remains on for a few minutes when beginning driving (dangerous at night) and remains on after exiting the vehicle (because it thinks the door is still open.) this has caused my battery to drain twice. The dome light is extremely distracting while driving at night and there is no way to turn it off. I have "fixed" the problem by using "keyboard cleaner". however, this only "fixes" the problem for a day or two. I have had this on-going problem for 2.5 years. The problem started right when the car hit 30,000 miles.

We were hit from behind by an 18 wheeler in the hwy and slammed into the vehicle in front of us several times and not 1 airbag went off.

- Corsicana, TX, USA

Faulty/failing door latch sensor triggers "door ajar" instrument panel and sound warnings while engine is on, causing doors to unlock, interior lights to come on, and continued sound warnings whenever vehicle accelerates. When vehicle is stationary and engine is off, sensor fault causes interior lights to remain on for 10-minute cycle that cannot be manually overridden (per Ford). Issue was addressed while vehicle was under warranty, but Ford will not address it now under warranty or "goodwill" repair program.

The driver side door ajar warning light illuminates randomly and stays illuminated even when the door is fully closed and locked both while the vehicle is parked and in motion. The warning chime periodically plays and the dome light stays illuminated. My vehicle was purchased as "certified pre-owned" in December 2014 which evidently did not include replacement of the known discrepant door latch component.

- Vista, CA, USA

There is an instrument panel alarm that says "driver door ajar" that remains despite repeated opening and closing of the driver's door. We paid almost $600 to have the sensor replaced about a year ago, and now it is doing the same thing. The dealership wants to charge us again to fix it. It is a safety issue. Not only does this alarm cause constant blinking and warning tones when driving, but the interior lights stay on at night for about 1 minute after driving, and I've had the car battery discharge twice when exiting the vehicle and trying to lock up for the night. If you slam the door repeatedly, it sometimes will go off, but there have been many times when I've opened and slammed the drivers door over 10 times, and I just have to live with the alarm, noise, and distraction. It has been an issue - this second time - for about a month.
