CarComplaints.com Notes: A frustrating electrical issue is causing an ever-present “door ajar†warning light for 2011-2013 Ford Edge owners. Even with the doors latched shut, faulty sensors convince the vehicle’s computer they aren’t. With no way to override the system, owners have no choice but to stare at the warning light, listen to the warning chimes when the car is stopped, and deal with interior lights that won’t shut off.

The drivers side of the car blows extremely hot no matter the temp setting. This has been happing for over a year now off and on. It started last winter when the passenger side blew icy cold no matter the temperature setting. My driver side door always shows ajar therefore my kicks will not engage while driving. This malfunctioned 2 years ago
A wrench warning would just appear on my dash and my car would totally just shut down. I can be on the highway and this happens..happened 2 more times then finally took it to Ford and they replaced my throttle body for $750. Picked car up and 2 days later happened again. Took back to Ford and they said nothing is wrong.
Driver door alarm/sensor/light. The door light continues to stay on after the door is closed. It will ding after I let my food off of the break, the rest of my doors will not lock (safety hazard I have two kids. The kids are able to open the door when I am moving, I have to have them push the lock down so it will be locked), we continue to shut the door to make it go off. This has clearly happened to other 2012 Ford Edge models. It is an expensive fix and it a safety hazard. This happens everyday, parked, on, off, driving, what ever the circumstances it's happening. We have to make sure not to leave the keys in the ignition or the battery will run down.
Takata recall I have had several issues with the drivers side door ajar warning. When the door is closed while driving or when exiting the vehicle the door ajar appears. When this happens the lights will not go off and the doors will not lock. When left like this, after several attempts to close the door, the alarm will start several times without warning. This was a repair that had to be done as soon as I purchased the vehicle and then again shortly after. It continues to happen periodically.
My driver side door ajar light would stay on after closing my door, whether parked or in motion. I would have to close it 5-10, sometimes more times, to get the light to go off. Even if I slammed the door sometimes the light still wouldn't go off, and the warning signal would chime as I drove. I bought the car used from a Honda dealer, and the salesman told me it was likely just a sensor issue, so I ignored it for a month or so before taking it in to a Ford dealership when I thought I could afford to have it repaired. They did diagnostics on it and told me it wasn't just the sensor, that the door was actually open because the latch wasn't closing properly. They told me if I got in a wreck my door could fly open, so I let them repair it. They replaced the entire lock assembly on the driver side. I have attached my invoice for record of the repairs made and the cost.
The door ajar indicator comes on and will not turn off even if the door appear closed. Even opening and closing the door does nor seems to help. Driving down the street, it is never clear whether the door is safety closed or not.
Front passenger door causes light to stay on as door ajar. Per Ford it is the latch and needs replacement at $517. Same door repair was made 1 year ago and Ford chose to clean latch instead of replacing when it was under warranty. Now warranty has expired and they say latch needs to be replaced. This is the 3rd door that has had this same problem. When door ajar light is on doors will not lock causing a safety hazard to my children as passengers.
Driver door ajar light stays on while doors are closed, causing interior lights to stay on. Shift to park message comes on while driving. Lights stay on in car after parking and won't turn off
Door sensor on the drivers door doesn't properly sense when the door is shut. This leads to the car to continually beep at the driver and refuses to lock the doors, allowing for kids/other passengers to open the car while in motion.
The door ajar warning light on the dash when the door is closed. There has been no accident or damage done on the door let alone the vehicle. I understand there is a latch malfunction. If not caught when exiting the vehicle the alarm then goes off after an hour or so. The door sensor seemed to clear itself and we managed to not use it after getting it to clear and all of a sudden driving down the road the warning popped back up on the dash, door ajar.
Door ajar light stays on. Unable to lock doors which makes it to where anyone can et in car. Also the lights stay on so it drains the battery. And you cant drive at night because the inside light shines in your eyes and you cant see the road.
The door ajar light comes on when door is completely shut on the drivers side, it prevents from my doors from locking and I have children in the car. It has trapped me in the car, I had to climb over into the passenger seat and exit out of that door. It also drains my battery because the lights stay on in the car.
The door ajar alarm/light stays on all the time even when the door is shut securely, in motion and not. Sometimes when you park the car it stays on and the interior lights will not shut off or they shut off and kick back on at random. Reading some complaints and sounds like a common problem, even to the extent of having it kill their battery and some have had it fixed at shop just to have the same thing happen again. Ford needs to be responsible and have a recall for this problem.
Driver door ajar light stays on or comes in intermittently. This will cause dome light to come on at night and blind me, also causes doors not to be able to lock. These are grave safety concerns of mine where I have a seven year old and on the occasion I have to drive through "unsafe" neighborhoods to get home. This has also caused my battery to die and left me stranded. All of these issues are safety related to either my vehicle, as well as mine and my family's lives.
