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.

I just purchased my Ford Edge 2 weeks ago and the rear left door ajar light keeps coming on when the door is not open. I have stopped the car, open and closed the door but the light will still stay on. When we lock the doors at night, the alarm will go off several times in the middle of the night. Worried if the doors are even locking at this point. I called a Ford dealership and they said it was just a technical service bulletin and not a recall.

I am the owner of a 2013 Ford Edge. The driver door ajar light keeps coming on when the door is securely shut. The interior lights remain lit and doors will not lock. Sometimes it will go off after repeatedly slamming the door shut but not always. I feel this is a danger because of driving at night with the light on. I also have children in the car that could possibly open the door while the car is going.

After about 40,000 miles, my car started alerting me that my drivers door was ajar when clearly it was closed. I closed it again and again, but the alert still won't go off. The interior dome lights stay on and the doors do not lock after moving forward down the road. This can be a real safety issue! I'm afraid someone might carjack me with my doors not locking! also, as I stop at stop signs or stop lights, it continually alerts me to put my car in park and shut drivers door. When I do park, get out and lock my car, the dome lights again will not go off. I'm afraid I'll come out after work to a dead battery! please do something! it has been doing this since October 2015!

Drivers door ajar light stay illuminated in the instrument cluster and dome lights won't shut off. Had had it to dealer 2 times in the last year and problem would be resolved for 2 months and then would happen again.

The instrument panel gives an incorrect warning that the drivers door is ajar. The drivers door is securely closed but the warning stays on. The doors are unable to be locked which is a major safety concern. The overhead dome lights remain on and do not shut off as long as this false warning signal is on which is again a major safety issue when driving at night. After shifting to drive, the alarms sound and the instrument panel says "shift to park" which again is a major safety concern as it is very distracting when trying to drive the vehicle. Since this is a major safety issue Ford should recall this vehicle to repair this electrical failure.

Driver side door ajar sensor stays on all the time even though the door is closed securely. This causes the vehicle not to be secured properly during operation and causes faulty annoying alerts to sound intermittently while driving. It also causes interior dome lights to stay on causing a dangerous obstruction to vision while driving at night. When parked with the engine off, the interior lights will stay on and drain the battery.

My 2013 Ford Edge door latch incorrectly reports that the door is open when it is not. This turns the interior lights on and drains the battery, also will not let you turn on the alarm or lock the doors from the inside. Constantly chimes and tell you to put in park to shut door.

2013 Edge drivers door alarm remains on even after closure, the interior lights remain on and the doors do not lock. I'm lucky if after the 6-7th door slam the light may go out, otherwise I have to drive around with the alarm continuously on. Now a shift into park light is also coming on. Used to love my Edge, but slowly thinking divorce.

problem #268

Jan 052016

Edge

  • 47,000 miles
When you close the driver side door the instrument panel gives a false warning saying the door is ajar and the dome light stays on. This happens when the car is stationary. After several attempts of opening and closing the door the warning disappears, but then while the car is moving the warning returns and the dome light comes back on and the doors unlock. This seems to be a pretty common problem and my car currently has 48,000 miles on it. This warning issue has been going on for about 1 month.
