Door ajar sensor/warning will not clear

- Moorestown, NJ, USA

Rear door(s) show ajar even though the door(s) are closed. I open and close the door(s) and the computer reads them as being ajar and the interior lights stay on for awhile. I can't set my alarm because of the problem. In researching the problem on the web I found out that there are alot of people having the same problem on their Ford products.

The driver door ajar sensor turns on when the door is shut. The door can be closed multiple times but the door ajar sensor still believes the door is not shut. This causes the battery to drain.

The driver's side door sensor is not working. Door shows open, and the interior lights won't turn off. Won't lock doors and several other problems. From all the feedback I've read, sure would like to see Ford do the right thing and issue a recall on this problem. Thanks!

My 2011 Ford Edge inside interior light stays on for several minutes every time I get in the car, I guess its the sensor on my door but its happened on the back hatch door as well. On my dashboard it tell me that I have an open door which its completely closed but light stays on until I drive off. Or when I get out of the car and lock the doors the light stays on for several minutes, its draining my battery. When all of this happens I can not even lock my doors when I am driving the car, I need to lock my doors for safety purposes, my doors are always unlock because of this issue. Also, car alarm will engage when car is parked and locked.

The drivers door ajar warning indicator remains on after fully closing the door. This will not allow the car doors to lock while driving, nor will it allow for the vehicle to be locked/alarmed when parked. On a couple of occasions, attempts to lock the vehicle have resulted in the alarm and emergency flashers going off. The problem was intermittent for several weeks, but is now constant. A safety as well as a security hazard.

The warning on the dashboard for driver's door ajar continues to come on despite the door being securely shut. This prevents the doors from locking. In addition, the interior lights illuminate at times when vehicle is off due to the door ajar warning, draining the vehicle battery. This causes a secondary safety issue of being stranded due to battery being drained and car unable to start.

My vehicle displayed the door ajar alarm after the door had been shut securely. This occurred intermittently for two days, and then began to occur every time I got in the vehicle. A couple days later it went back to being intermittent. I would not get the notification when I first got in the vehicle, but then the alarm would go off while I was driving.

Rear driver's side door latch is defective. Door is shut but has door ajar alarm and dome lights stay on and car alarm goes off while parked when door is ajar. It conveniently went out right after 50,000miles and warranty was up. Ford should recall this as it seems to be very common problem but unfortunately a lot of people don't know about the procedure to file a complaint. The dealership wanted $100 just to look at the car and not including parts and labor. Updated 09/18/15

Defective throttle body. Entering highway at approximately 45 mph and accellerating when car de-acclerated on its own to a crippling 2 mph. Moved over to the far right side with car moving at 2 mph until I was able to get off highway and part car. Let sit 15 minutes and car started and acclerated appropriately. 2 weeks later same thing. Acclerating from a stop at a stop ligh and car de-acclerated on its on and limped to 2 mph untill I could pull off road and let sit. Started badk up and drove ok. About two weeks later happened again. On August 30, 2015 the car began doing this daily and took 9 times of letting car sit after it de-acclerated to get home from work. Called Ford Motor Company and they claim no recalls for the defective throttle body problem that Ford Edges are having. Researched the internet and see thousands of complaints with this issue. Defective throttle body on Ford Edges including the 2011. Called Ford and lodged a complaint. Took car to skillman Ford in greenwood Indiana and was diagnosed as a failed throttle body and needed replaced. Was informed it would cost me $664.71 for me to have it repaired. Was also informed there were no Ford financial assistance programs to help me pay for repairs on the defective throttle body which is a Ford problem. I did authorize the repair as I need my car. I am very unhappy with Ford as they will not cover there defect and it is a known Ford defective part-throttle body. What will it take for Ford to step up and cover their defects? as much as I love my Edge I will not purchase another Ford product because there is no customer service programs at Ford Motor Company (not the dealership where I got my car repaired) when there is an issue with defective parts and getting them replaced by Ford. Shame on you Ford Motor Company.

Door ajar sensor stuck on "open" for driver's side front and rear doors. As a result, dome lights stay on causing difficulty seeing at night, and inability to lock doors while in motion. Also, drains battery and has stranded my wife multiple times. Repair is very costly and as I understand it, the replacement part is just as susceptible to the problem as the original equipment. Ford needs to be responsible for this inherent defect.

Faulty sensor in the door causes the car to think the driver door is open. Door ajar light stays on and vehicle will not lock when driving! lights eventually time out but when inside the car, the doors do not lock! I have had it fixed three times now and it always comes back.

My wife was driving on a surface street with our infant boys in the back seat. Without warning, the 2011 Ford Edge lost all power and the engine vibrated intensely. It could have caused a serious collision. She restarted the car and tried to make it home safely and slowly. It happened again on the way. The next day (7/20/15), when we drove the SUV to the dealership, it happened a 3rd time. Galpin Ford (N hills, ca) diagnosed it with a faulty throttle body, not covered by our 7-year powertrain limited warranty. This is a certified preowned Ford Edge that we purchased a little over a year ago. Throttle bodies should not fail with 45K miles on the car. And, it should be covered by the warranty, or better yet...it should be a recall. The loss of power is a dangerous problem that Ford should take responsibility for.
