Door ajar light comes on after shutting the drivers door, doors will not lock, interior lights stay on, when you stop it tells you to put in park. It can happen any time, and stop at any time. Sometimes you can shut the drivers door a little harder and it will go out. Sometimes, the door ajar light comes on while driving down the road.
The drivers door is showing open on the instrument panel even when closed. There is also and audible alarm warning that the door is not closed. The door lock feature will not engage when the vehicle is in motion. I am unsure if the door is safely latched at all

Door ajar sensor stays on as if door is open. Dome light stays on and car will not lock properly. Whether I am in motion parked or just idle the door ajar signal stays on and I have to open and close the door 2-10 time every time. Also, my back up camera is functional but the picture won't come up on the screen.
The driver door ajar alarm comes on when the door is securely closed. The interior lights will not go off which can be a driving hazard and will also drain the battery. The doors will not lock. This problem first occurred at about 47,000 miles and I took the car to the dealer in June 2015. I have an extended warranty, so I had to pay $107 deductible for them to clean the switch. The problem has occurred again in March 2016.

When starting car I get message: Drivers door ajar-the door is securely latched, overhead lights come on and stay on, locks will not engage when message is on. Warning stays on while driving. Multiple complaints online with owners that are experiencing the same problem.
Driver's door ajar warning keeps coming on. It would go away after a few attempts, or some cleaner sprayed into the locking mechanism area. But now, it's warning at all times. Dome lights stay on, warning chimes when the car isn't moving quickly, and car doors won't lock B/C it thinks the door is ajar. I think that and having lights on when you're reversing at night are the two biggest safety issues. The other issues are just annoying and likely wearing out battery power with the lights staying on. I've read that some other Ford and Lincoln models have had recalls on this locking mechanism so hoping that the Edge gets the same treatment. Seems like a silly issue for a 2013 car with 37K miles on it.

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.
