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.
After closing the door then starting the vehicle the "door ajar" will not go off which notifies the driver to put the vehicle in park. I think this is a safety issue as the vehicle may not protect the driver and passengers in the event an accident occurs. I also noticed that when turning the vehicle off to get gas or etcetera, it keeps notifying you to put the vehicle in park. I think this is directly related to the door latch being faulty. Ford wants $400 to repair this item which I think is a safety issue and should be recalled as many Edge owners are experiencing the same faults.
This is the issue of door ajar light staying 'on' for the driver side front door. The door ajar light stays 'on' even though the door is properly shut. It was started as an intermittent issue but now the warning stays 'on' all the time and the instrument cluster shows the front driver side door stays open all the time. Every time I stop, the warning for door ajar comes on. I am not sure if this is a safety issue or not but initially every time the warning sounds, I used to look at instrument panel for what the warning is about but now I have started to ignore it. I hope I don't ignore any other important warnings that are related to safety.
The driver door says its ajar but actually is not, so if driving at night the dome lights are on witch is dangerous and the door locks will not lock if the vehicle system thinks it ajar. I think this should be recalled cause it is a safety issue #1 doors won't lock. #2 interior light won't go out if driving at night.
My door ajar light continues to come on. I shut the door multiple times and sometimes it turns off and some times it doesn't. I think the lock or latch on the door is faulty.
Door ajar sensor indicates door is ajar when it clearly is not. This makes locking the doors impossible and causes the interior dome lights to illuminate. Car is less than 2 years old. Apparently, this is a problem with the switch assembly across numerous Ford vehicles.
