My passenger door ajar would come on and I know my door is shut. It's starting to get bad now. The other day when I was driving on a city road my driver side door ajar light came on and then the door popped open a little to where I can hear the outside air coming in. I was driving for 10 minutes before this happen. This has to be fix soon.

My passenger door ajar light/alarm comes on randomly while driving down the road, and sometimes it happens after someone gets in and shuts the door. This weekend it happened while I was driving at night during terrible rain...causing the interior lights to come on and nearly blind the driver(me). It doesn't seem to know when the door is open/closed. This also keeps the car from locking correctly...it automatically unlocks because it thinks the door is open. Last- the light will remain on when you exit the vehicle which ends up killing the battery. You might think it is ok- but it just decides to trigger the door ajar sensor and lights are on. This has happened in middle of the night, after I thought it was locked up and secure for the night. It also makes me wonder if the door latch is not working and the passenger may be at risk of falling out of the car. Ford wants $450 to fix a safety problem that is widely complained about and should be remedied without cost to consumer.

Edge 6-cyl

  • 95,000 miles
My passenger door indicates that when closed that it is not. The dome light stays on and so does the dash indicator. It has also done it while driving down the road. Creepy, since I'm disabled and have hands controls to drive. So I have to pull over and reclose the door. Plus once the lights come on I can't see while driving at night.

Edge 6-cyl

  • 42,000 miles
Door ajar will not turn off for drivers door. Problem is intermittent, however more constant when it is hot out side. This causes the dome light to remain on. You can open and close the door several time and sometimes the warning will stop. Makes driving difficult when it is dark out because of the dome light being on.

Edge 6-cyl

  • 50,000 miles
The driver side front door sensor is bad, which keeps the door ajar light on at all times, and keeps the overhead lights on for an extended period of time, which drains the battery and is also dangerous when driving at night. Had the dealer "fix" the issue by doing a cleaning/cycling on the electrical part of the latch, but it only lasted a few months and now the problem is back. Ford does not seem willing to address the issue as a safety concern - unsafe to drive with overhead lights on, and it drains the battery, which has caused other issues for me, including having to replace the battery well ahead of its intended useful life.

Edge 6-cyl

  • 89,000 miles
The door latch sensor in the drivers door is malfunctioning. Shows a door ajar warning on instrument cluster when door is actually closed tight. This warning indication prevent the doors from locking when driving. Big safety issue! it also causes interior light to stay on, and night time driving with that interior light glare is a safety issue. The dome lights have also stayed on when parked, causing the battery to go dead. This issue first was noticed 7/10/16 and continues intermittently each time the vehicle is driven.
