CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013 Edge has its fair share of problems, but chief among them is an annoying “door ajar” warning light that won’t shut off even when the door is most definitely closed. While the retina-burning, ever-present false reminder on your dashboard is bad, it points to a deeper problem that can drain the battery, leave the doors unlocked while in motion, or render the key fob useless.

The door ajar warning for my drivers side stays on all the time, even when door is securely closed. This has caused interior lights to remain on and battery life to be drained. The doors will not lock while driving.

The left door ajar sensor light stays on after all doors are closed securely. The doors do not automatically lock after starting to drive. The dome light stays on for a long time. The warning signal beeps every time we step on the brake and is very annoying.

The door ajar light is coming on even when the door is closed. This is preventing the dome lights from turning off in order to drive and also draining the battery. Is is a safety issue at night and when I park my car and the battery dies.

The door ajar light will not go off on my 2013 Ford Edge when the door is securely shut. This causes the interior dome to remain on while driving causing a serious driving obstruction and dangerous condition. It is also draining the battery.

  • 21,000 miles
Door ajar light stays on. Have to slam the door at least 3-4 times before it goes off. Had it looked at the dealer only to have them only clean the door latch. When problem returned they told me that it was no longer under warranty, too many miles and would cost over $350 to replace door latch. There is clearly a problem with this as my vehicle is not the only vehicle doing this. The other concern besides the door possibly flying open, is having to replace the battery as the dome light stays on for a long period of time after shutting the car off and not being able to lock the car because it thinks the door is ajar. This problem happens when the vehicle is stationary and in motion.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. While driving 35 mph, the "driver's door ajar" indicator illuminated while the door was closed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing, but the contact was not aware of the results. The dealer offered a temporary repair, but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer stated that they could not assist because there was no recall. The contact was advised to return to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 27,000.

At 89000 miles I keep getting a "driver door ajar" warning while I am driving. I looked online to see that many people have the same issue with this vehicle at or about the 90K mile mark. The battery will drain because the car thinks the door is open, the lights stay on in the car thus draining battery.

Driver side, rear passenger "door ajar" is constantly lit on the dashboard. Despite repeated verification that the door is closed, the warning message remains. This means the doors won't lock, the cabin lights don't turn off and the audible alarm rings. There has been no injury or accident at this time. Door appears to be latched, but warning indicator stays on. Remains while driving or stationary.

problem #591

Mar 162017

Edge

  • 43,000 miles
The latch caused a problem so the vehicle kept giving me a "door ajar" warning. Since it thought the door was ajar, the interior lights would not go off, eventually causing a dead battery. This was a problem driving at night since the interior lights were on continually causing it difficult to see. It also was a problem for me, as a woman I didn't feel I could use my car for activities, especially in the evening, if I had to worry about coming out to a vehicle with a dead battery and no help available. I had this repair through my local shop, so I could trust using my car. The cost of the repairs was $392 which was not covered by warranty. There have been recalls on most of the Ford models for this year, but not the Edge. Same problem...why aren't we getting the repairs needed at not cost.

Driver's-side door constantly says "door ajar." Light on dash does not go out. In-car alarm constantly dinging, saying the door is open, when it is clearly latched. Automatic door locks do not work. Cannot use keyless entry because the car believes the door is open.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. When the contact closed the vehicle's door, the door ajar warning indicator remained illuminated. In addition, when the contact depressed the brake pedal, the shift to park warning indicator illuminated and when the brake pedal was released, the indicator dimmed.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 22,000.

I had to replace driver door latch due to issues with driver door ajar warning constantly coming on when door was closed while parked or moving also creating problems with dome light, door locks and entry pad. After researching this issue it seemed to be pretty common among other Ford Edge owners which confirmed my decision to replace the driver's side door latch. Vehicle has only 28,000 miles.
