Passenger door ajar light comes on when door is shut. The doors will not stay locked because of this. Unsafe to stop at light or parking as anyone can open the passenger door and get in. Driver side door ajar fixed under extended warranty yrs ago- same issue now again. Driver power seat rocks backwards when getting in or if solid stops- very unsafe as you are not in control of car when it's rocking- fearful that it will brake loose. Quote from dealer was $1600! I paid extra when buying car for leather and power seats- they should not break and should be covered by Ford
July 21, 2019 driving along on a 35 mph road and car just stopped accelerating when pushing gas pedal. Wrench indicator appeared and had to put car in neutral to safely pull over. Car did restart after shutting off. Same incident happened an hour later going the same speed. We researched and found the numerous other Ford Edge same complaints that the throttle body was in need of replacement. Had it replaced and car is running smooth with no problems. This was a very scary and concerning issue. I can't imagine being on the expressway like others have experienced. Ford make this right and put out a recall.
2013 Ford Edge current issue: Without any warning brakes started hissing and screeching. In the same day the brakes were hard to press and did not stop the car and then they were loose to the floor, but they did not stop the car. I googled and found out that some vehicles with the same year 2013 have a recall, but my VIN was not included. The symptoms lead to a failing break booster. My cars information system check does not show any warnings, brakes say ok, but I am not able to drive my car. The brakes are not grinding. Twice I had to swerve onto the shoulder of the highway to avoid rear ending the car in front of me. This is frightening to occur to anyone without a system warning.
The door ajar light is staying on, as well as the map lights. Runs the battery down. The map lights come on at will including during the night. Wife has gotten in the Edge and the door ajar light will come on and it starts beeping. Ford has been aware of this door switch since 2007 and refuses to recall all the cars and trucks that have this switch. I have gone on line and there are millions of complaints. We are if fear of this casing a fire or worse yet for some reason not allowing the air bag to deploy in a crash. My wife is scared to drive this SUV and Ford refuses to acknowledge there is a problem and a recall is needed.

The door ajar light stays on when all doors are securely closed. The light randomly comes on while driving or while parked. This causes the dome light to remain on, which drains the battery.
The "drivers door ajar light" stays on even with the door securely closed. I had to slam it a few times, which I feel is improper procedure, to disengage the light.

"takata recall" the warning light that L passenger door is ajar stays on -- even when door is closed. This apparently drained the battery; had to jump the car to get it started.

The drivers door door ajar sensor does not register when the door is closed. This leads to the door ajar light remaining on during travel, the interior lights remaining on during travel, doors will fail to lock during travel, and an audible alarm each time you stop the vehicle for a stop sign or stop light.
Front passenger door ajar warning comes on, leaving interior lights on running battery down. When I am driving interior lights on it's really hard to drive in the evening/night time.

All the doors were definitely closed. I didn't get recall when should've cause this's safety hazard driving with interior light on in night time.
