The door latch sensor malfunctions indicating that the door is ajar. Doors will not lock neither manually nor electronically. The lf door latch has been replaced 10/12, rf latch replaced 11/13.(both replaced under warranty for malfunction) 9/14 the rf latch again malfunctioned, and was lubricated at a dealer to resolve problem. Again at 5/15 the latch again malfunctioned and was inspected. To this day it continues to malfunction. I was advised at the dealership to wait until updated latches are produced. Meanwhile, the doors will not lock when driving. When a new design latch is available, I will be required to pay for a replacement latch because the mileage and car are beyond warranty.

My safety issue is with my Ford Edge 2011 door ajar sensor. It's gotten worse in the past couple of months. The doors stay unlock, dash board warning display keeps popping up, door display stays lit and the interior light stays on which is hazardous at night. Ford has had this problem with many of it's vehicles for a long time but does not seem to be very interested in fixing it or recalling. I called Ford customer service division and spoke to angela keevis (regional customer service manager) to have Ford handle this issue as a re-call B/C many of the Edge models are having this issue. She confirmed that there are no recalls at this time and that Ford will not be able to help out to reimburse the cost of the fix either and she was sorry at this time. The only thing she told me is to put my complain online. The only thing that they could do is call you back after you had setup an appointment with your dealer to have it fixed and to make sure it all went well. I do hope Ford will take this issue serious and have a recall done B/C this issue could occur at any time. Again safety issues are doors being unlocked while driving and interior lights stays on and it could be hazardous when trying to drive at night. Does Ford need to have a fatal accident before they could recall a known issue"??????"

The driver side door latch not working properly indicates the door is opened when it is closed. There for the dome light stays on till the car reaches 20 miles per hour or about a city block witch makes it hard to drive and cover the dome light at night so U can see out the windshield so not to be blinded by the light.

The dome light stays on, night time driving hazard. False door ajar prevents doors from locking while traveling on highway. Doors won't lock major safety issue.

Please consider reviewing this issue. Electrical contact on door latch does not sense that the drivers side door is properly shut. Door will not lock, dome light will not go out, as a woman I really don't want people to see that I am alone and female when driving at night or waiting...especially when I am unable to lock the door. Door ajar indicator stays on, conditioning you to ignore it. Driving with the dome light on is illegal and an unsafe practice. This is an extremely dangerous condition and I'm certain that this "known defect" has already resulted in loss of life. Additionally, I took my vehicle to my local for dealer and they repaired it in may of 2014 for $375. It worked for 3 months and then the defect returned. I brought it back and they said since they did not replace the part ( they only cleaned the electrical contacts) it was not under warranty.

- Des Moines, IA, USA

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Edge. While driving at approximately 45 mph, the interior lighting remained illuminated and the door locks unlocked independently. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 23,000.

The driver door ajar alert would not go off and neither would the interior lights even though the door was shut. The lights would stay on while driving and the doors would not lock once I started driving either since it was saying the driver door was open. I'm waiting for the batter to just die since my interior lights stay on for a long time after I shut and lock my doors because the driver door ajar alert never goes off. I've called multiple dealerships and they won't cover it because there is no recall on it. There needs to be a recall on this issue because I don't know if my door is every really shut, my interior lights will only go off after I've been driving for a few minutes and the doors won't even lock right!

Drivers side door ajar light on. Interior lighting will not turn off. User can't lock doors while driving. Dome light stays on draining battery.

- Baltimore, MD, USA

The driver door latch sensor (driver door ajar) will not go out after closing the door. The interior lights stay on and the doors will not lock because of it. This is a safety issue since anyone could just walk up and open your door since it will not lock. I had the same issue with my 2008 Edge this is a known problem that has been going on for years why is nothing getting done about this to make them put a recall out for the problem?

The door ajar light remains on when the door is closed. Currently this is the 3rd time this has occurred. The first was the driver door which occurred in December of 2012. The latch was replaced by the local dealer under warranty. The second occurrence took place in September of 2014. This time the driver side passenger door malfunctioned. The latch was replaced at owners expense. Currently the driver door again is malfunctioning. Each time the door is closed the door ajar light remains on. After repeated attempts of closing the door the light may or may not go out. When on the interior lights will remain on. This seems to be a common occurrence with the Ford Edge especially the 2011 models.

- Chatsworth, GA, USA

The door ajar sensor will not allow the door to be locked while in motion. Additionally, it will force the interior light to remain illuminated after removing the key which then drains the battery requiring constant roadside assistance.

Open or close doors sensors defective. Happens in almost all Ford Edge vehicles.

Driver door ajar comes on when door has not been used. This prevents the door from being locked and is therefore a major safety issues. There are multiple internet reports.

- Hermitage, TN, USA

The "door ajar" message comes on when the driver's side door is completely closed. I cannot lock the doors when this message is displayed. This is a very serious safety feature, occupants of the vehicle could be subject to a car jacking etc.. also, the interior light stays on when the message is displayed causing my battery to drain, I had to purchase a new one $102 which I should be reimbursed for. There should be a recall on this problem considering the driver and occupants safety is compromised.

- Fairfield Twp, OH, USA

A right front door ajar warning is reported by the vehicle, but the door is completely shut - have to slam door multiple times to get warning to go off - overhead lights will randomly come as a result which affects your ability to see traffic at night - this problem is still on going on a daily basis - the reported cost of repair is $300 to $500 for a problem that should not be happening.

- Grove City, OH, USA

Driver door ajar notification stays on despite door being securely shut. Vehicle doors will not lock once car starts and must lock manually after turning engine off, locking, and restarting vehicle. Can not use keyless entry to lock from outside. Can not lock from door if vehicle running, as the locks will automatically unlock afterwards. Interior light stays on when in reverse and complicates ability to back up at night while trying to visualize objects/pedestrians that may be behind vehicle.
