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 driver's door says 'door ajar' when it is closed. Then, my 2013 Ford Edge dome light stays on while driving. I try to open and close the door several times as well lock and unlock the door. After several minutes of trying - I can get it to turn off. This issue has been happening for over 2 months!

Driver door sensor is not acknowledging that the door is closed. When driving, the door ajar warning appears on the console which prevents the doors from automatically locking. This issue also cause the interior lights to stay on while driving and can't be manually turned off.

Open door warning lights come on even when doors are closed, happened 2 years ago with back drivers doors and was fixed, a year later the same happens with the drivers door. This is constant once you turn on the car and close all doors, sometime if door is close very hard, light turns off. Sometimes works, sometimes don't. it does not impedes the car to drive correctly but bothers with sound, lights and warnings.

This happens when car starts and after car is in motion! 2. control button on left side of steering wheel not responding. After 2 oil changes, no one can reset the oil life. 3. not able to run sync vehicle report. All of these issues are sporadic and ongoing!

Have had lights stay on, come back on or radio turn on in garage after it has been sitting for a while. 10 or more instances of the battery being completely discharged after being turned off in garage for two to four days. There will be no problems for a long time followed by times when every other week there is a problem to having to disconnect the battery every night or it won't start. We have replaced the battery 4 or 5 times and have again on a new deep cycle battery having problems. Also had vehicle shut down at a stop sign in first 6 months to year of life. The dealership said it was some sort of fuel thing that needs to be cleaned every 10,000 miles to keep it from happening again. However, it could easily have been the battery, my wife was driving and is not mechanically inclined. We have had constant battery problems but no further fuel issues.

"door ajar" light on dash remains on even when doors shut securely. This causes inside lights to remain on, and buzzer to buzz. Problem continues during vehicle in use

Door ajar light came on and would not go out. The door was shut completely. The lights inside the car therefore stayed on as it thought the door was open. This progressively got worse as lights showed up on dash and beeping started- telling me to close the door. This seems to be a known problem for Ford- lots and lots of complaints online about the exact issue- which is where I found out what it was. I had to pay to have a dealer fix this- $553.46.

Drivers side door ajar sensor randomly sounds off. This started on or around 7/2/2018 when the vehicle was stationary. However, it has since progressed to randomly do it while in motion, on a city street or a highway. This causes all interior lights to come on, even in hours of darkness.
