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.

There is an issue related to the driver side door latch. The car will not lock the constantly chimes the door is open when it is closed. Even after manually locking the door, the locks pop back up. Initially the problem started periodically and could be corrected by opening and closing the door several times. There were times when simply opening the window tripped the door ajar indicator. This is a safety issue not being able to close the door and have the constant chime and interior lights on.
Door ajar lights keep coming on, interior lights stay on, indicator tells me that the door is ajar and to shift transmission into park...should I do that"while driving " beeping constantly, my wife very nervous while driving not knowing what to do. Interior lights on at night and won't go out.
Door ajar waring on dash appears with doors fully closed and keeps interior lights on for an extended period of time so that the car battery becomes drained. Took to dealer and was quoted $500 for the repair. Outrageous!
I keep getting a door ajar warning even when the door is completely shut. Therefore my lights stay on extra and my auto door locks wont lock, and I have a child in the rear seat so the child could open the door if I don't manually lock them...not safe!. upon searching, the door sensor needs to be replaced which is no easy task. Ford should replace for no fee.
Driver's side door keeps sounding the door ajar warning even when the door is firmly closed. No amount of open/closing seems to clear the warning and therefore the warning chimes occur every time the car reaches a stop in traffic. False warnings are dangerous and doors will not lock while car is on.

Second time door ajar indicator came on in 1 year, drivers door and driver passenger door had to be replaced to the amount of $ $650. When this happens the inside light stays on, which in turn drains the battery. Obviously this happens a lot because there are self help videos to disable the mechanisms. I am inquiring as to being reimbursed for the above amount. I believe there is a problem due to the fact that the mechanism went bad on the same side.
