Door ajar light and chimes will stay on even though the drivers door is obviously closed. No matter how hard you close the door it still does this. This problem also will not allow the doors to be locked while driving. That is a hazard ! also, when the car is parked, the head liner lights stay lit for 10 minutes until the computer defaults them to turn off. Because the sensor thinks the door is ajar. I do believe this is a hazard, do being able to lock the doors while driving is unacceptable:(
The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that after closing the doors, the door ajar warning light remained illuminated. The contact had to shut the driver side door extremely hard to turn the warning light off. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Door ajar keeps coming on when getting into the vehicle. In the past month its occurred several times. I start backing out of my driveway and it dings so I have put the vehicle in park and reopen driver door and slam shut to get it to turn off. Its getting worse and worse.
Driver door switch not letting module know the door is closed. Door would have to be opened and closed multiple time before module or switch would pick it up. What affect will this have on the air bags if I need them?
I have a 2013 Ford Edge SE with driver door issue of not locking even if door is shut. Door chime comes on letting me know that the door is not shut even though it is. If the door is not registering with the module saying it is shut what impact with this have on the air bags going off when needed.

Warning come on that the driver door is ajar even though it isn't. I have to slam the door shut several times before it goes off. The other doors do not lock when this happens and endangers my child because of this. Also cannot lock the doors when leaving it parked if this happens. This issue is well documented by many people. I have no idea why NHTSA will not act on this.
"driver door ajar warning_. Have to shut the door numerous times in order for the warning to go off. Interior lights stay on until the door is shut numerous time which has gotten to be really a pain. Started experiencing this problem just outside the vehicle mileage warranty. Dealer has refused to repair under warranty. This sucks.
The drivers door ajar light stays on even when the door is completely closed. The interior lights remain on (hard to see at night with the interior light on) and the doors will not lock due to the door ajar warning light being on. Every time I press the brakes to stop the truck tell me to shift the truck to park because of this.
Instrument panel shows the driver door is open, which it is not, and gives warning to shift vehicle to park. I must open and shut the door 5-12 times to get the warning to disappear. When the warning is on, the doors will not lock and the lights are on.

Door sensor shows door jam and actually it is shut and doom light will not go off and doors will not look auto while drive I have been told this is a problem with door sensor and many complaints have been made.
Instrument panel shows driver door ajar when door is not ajar. Door has to be opened and closed repeatedly until instrument panel no longer shows driver door ajar. This prevents the car from being properly locked. The door ajar light will randomly come on while driving, causing cabin lights to illuminate, which is especially hazardous when it is dark out. This is a serious issue with multiple Ford vehicles and must be addressed.

Closed the drivers side door, door ajar light came on and stayed on. Beeper kept sounding. Doors would not lock. When ignition was turned off, lights (interior, parking, mirror lights stayed on. Radio turned off when ignition switch was turned off. Auto opener did not work on drivers side and could not lock doors.
Get in, close door, start Ford Edge, ...drivers door ajar lights, warns, chimes and flashes put in park, drivers door open!! instantly unlocks _A_L_L_ doors and lights all interior up thus removing all safety of locked doors from unlawful and unsafe intrusion of others!!!! will not cancel or turn off. Furthermore entire time using Edge for reliable transportation is rendered useless----- while doors stay unlocked, can be open anytime! Ford Motor Company should do something quick before a horrible incident happens starting a flood of lawsuits for endangering the owners of Ford Edges!!
The central computer indicates that the driver's seat door is open when it is in fact fully closed. It stays that way, no matter how many times you close the door.
The mytouch feature panel occassionally locks up/freezes when trying to access any of the features. Ambient lighting color changes randomly. Lastly, the volume/road volume adjustment does not work and did prior to sync update.
