The driver side front door closes but the door ajar warning light stays on and is annoying. My wife took it in and they wanted $500 to fix it on a 3yr. Old car they can't make a latch to last longer than 3 yrs.?
The car is at 50,000 and the drivers side door ajar signals the door is open and it is not. This is a safety issue because the doors do not automatically lock as they should. Also, it causes the dome lights to stay on and other sensors to come on when the car is at a stop light or stop sign. Due to this being an issue read about widely Ford should issue a recall to fix this.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. While the vehicle was parked, the door ajar indicator illuminated when the door was closed and the interior lighting randomly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver's door sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000. The VIN was not available.
The drivers door (adjar) signal keeps indicating the door is open even if the door is firmly closed. This cause the cabin lights to remain on and the alarm going of every so many seconds. It distracts me constantly.

The door ajar light was continuing to turn on, even while driving, creating an unsafe driving situation as all the interior lights come on and will not turn off until you pull over, put the car in park, open the door, push in the door latch, and then shut it again and again until the door ajar comes off. I had this fixed at while still under warranty. It started doing this again less than 6 months later. I was then informed that the drivers door latch is faulty and the switch inside is causing the light to stay on. It is recommended to replace the lf door latch at $445. It was "cleaned" according to the service gentlemen, but not replaced in January when it was still under warranty. He said it will do the same thing it currently is in about 6 months if they just clean it again and not replace it. It is a hazard while driving and a huge safety concern. I am unsure why it would not have been replaced originally. I assumed when I took it in it had been fixed and replaced, not just cleaned.
The driver side door ajar sensor fails to detect that the door is closed and latched. This causes the automatic door locks to unlock the doors even when the vehicle is in motion. This can be a safety issue in the event of a collision.
My 2013 Ford Edge keeps saying the driver side door is ajar, chimes keep going off, the dome light keeps going off & on & I am unable to lock my doors. This is a huge safety concern especially with my 4 year old in the car with me. And now they recall 1.5 million vehicles because the doors can fly open!"!?! where is the recall on my vehicle???????? are you all waiting on fatalities?!?!"! come on Ford!!
Driver door ajar warning. Cannot lock doors, interior lights go on, warning chime sounds. Very dangerous especially at night with the interior lights on with doors unlocked. Dealer said no recall. Had to pay $366.10 for a "possible" fix by cleaning contact latch with tool and recycled per tsb 15-0013.
