Driver door ajar warning light stays on causing interior light to stay on and alarm to go off if its parked and locked. Closing the door up to 10 times may cause the warning light to go off. If I start driving then the warning message tells me to shift into park and close my door. If I ignore it then it starts beeping at me to get my attention. Pressing the ok button to bypass it does not work more than a few seconds its back. This has been going on for weeks now.
Even though I get in my car and shut the door the door ajar light is coming on (driver door). This causes the light to stay on and I am not able to lock my car doors. I find this to be a large safety issue. It is starting to do this more and more. I currently have to open my door and slam it shut once or multiple times to get the door ajar light to shut off.

Vehicle has warning light for door ajar even though door is closed. Doors will not lock, and dome lights will not go off. Stop car and close door several times to go off.

Driver's side door light stays on even when door is properly latched. The light will go away after opening and closing several times, but the light has also come on while the vehicle is in drive, going down the highway, and it refuses to lock as a result. Malfunction was reported to the dealership, but they didn't fix the car. They believed we'd either need a new door latch or to restart the car's electronic system.
When driver side door is shut, the inside lights stay on and the door ajar warning light stays on.

Fuel level drops dramatically, the fuel indicator will drop up to 20 miles per every mile of actual mileage. Gas seems to be leaking and odometers will skip numbers.
Driver's side "door ajar" warning light along with associated alarms ("shift into park") goes off when closing the door. This warning also keeps the interior lights on, thus potentially draining the battery. Backing up in the dark is impossible because the interior lights are so bright, nothing can be seen outside. My temporary solution has been to disconnect the battery when I'm parked for a prolonged period of time. My concerns are; will this be happening to all 6 door sensors, how long will these faulty sensors last, will they find a redesign for this sensor that lasts longer than 34K miles and what if the door really isn't closed? Ford Motor Company has already recalled this sensor/module on other models (Focus, etc) of this year. Because there aren't as many Edges on the road isn't a good reason to not want to make the correction for all models involved.
Door ajar warning light will not go off when drivers door is completely shut. This causes dome lights to stay on until car is moving causing a visibility problem.

Both front left and rear left door sensors show that the doors are open although its fully closed. Therefore the cabin lights stay on and the doors cannot be locked. My 2.5 year old daughter opened the door while I was driving although the doors were supposed to locked.
My truck displays "shift to park" when in park and the indicator is not illuminated whether the engine is off or on. I had to replace a battery due to this problem. Even though the car is off the electronics stay on drawing power because it's not sensing the vehicle is in park. This problem is widely known and Ford has a tsb for the shifter but no recall. I've had nothing but problems with this vehicle and will not purchase another Ford again.
I have an issue with a sensor on the vehicle. I have a "door ajar" light on when the door is closed. It is on the driver door and no others. I know this is a common issue with Ford SUVS and just want my vehicle down for documentation. If any further information is needed by me please email or call me.
