The door ajar light comes on I N driver door almost everytime you shut the door no matter how hard you slam it. It takes several times for B the signal to go off. This a huge safety hazard. While driving the door ajar light will come on randomly and all the interior lights will come on making it hard to see at night. Also the doors will not lock if the door ajar signal is turned on. This is ridiculous and I am not happy. This is a newer vehicle and this should be recalled. The dealership wants 500 to fix this. When this is a manufacturer issue!
The door ajar light will come on along with interior light at random times. It happens when first entering the vehicle in the morning and also when driving at all times through the day. The only fix we've found is slamming the door shut a few times.
Door ajar drivers side. Took it into Ford and they said it just needed to be cleaned, charged me 100. Now it is happening again 9 months later... annoyed.

Submission from constituent re 2013 Ford Edge engine stall. The consumer stated the steering wheel locked, the vehicle shook, and the check engine light illuminated, all within seconds of the vehicle stalling. The dealer was unable to find a problem.
Driver door ajar sensor does not recognize that door is closed. This prevents all doors from being in the locked position while operating the vehicle. Manually locking the doors is overridden by the system and automatically unlocked. Annoying alarm always going off while driving or idle. Not known if sensor malfunction or door not actually closed properly. Should be recalled for repair.
While driving - even though the driver door is completely shut, the driver door ajar warning sign appears on the dashboard screen accompanied by the sound of a chime. Sometimes when you open and shut the driver door whether while still driving or if and when you find a side of the road space, the warning sign disappears. But oftentimes, it takes 3 or four tries to make it disappear. Sometimes the driver door ajar warning comes with an instruction to shift to P (park).... which is helpful if you can find a side of the road spot otherwise the instruction will just confuse a novice driver and could potentially create an accident. I search the internet and found this problem is very common with Ford Edge. I feel that this problem could potentially create an accident and warrants a recall.

Instrument panel shows driver ajar when door is not ajar. Door has to be opened and closed repeatedly until instrument panel no longer shows driver door ajar. The door ajar light will randomly come on while driving, causing cabin lights to come on, which is especially hazardous when it is dark out. This is a serious issue with multiple Ford vehicles and must be addressed.
Driver side door shows up on display as being open along with engine on message. I have to close the door anywhere from 2-5 times to get the door message gone. Also when I enter the vehicle after it's been parked the interior lights stay on and I have to start the car and shut it off to get them to go out.
