The contact owns a 2011 Ford Edge. When the vehicle was started, the door ajar warning indicator illuminated. The contact mentioned that all the doors were completely shut; however, the warning indicator continued to remain illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

Door ajar warning light appears on the dash even when the door is closed. There is no way to clear the alert/alarm and it becomes very hazardous when driving while it is still dark and the dome lights are on signaling the door is open. This warning will come on at any time- while stationary in my driveway, while driving, etc. There is no specific time it happens.

Door ajar light stays on, door lock not working driver side
- Cathedral City, CA, USA
The auto door locks will not work properly. Many times the doors will not lock automatically and the driver door ajar light will come on. The inside lights stay on. This should be a safety concern due to the fact that none of the doors will lock and stay locked with children in the back seat.

- Gilbert, AZ, USA
2011 Ford Edge. The rear drivers side door sets off the open door sensor even when the door is fully closed. The interior lights will stay on and will only shut off if you close the door about 20 times every time you get into the car.

Bracke light, and ABS light comes on. We think its the control module and internal electronic failure. Back up camera has not worked in a very long time. I am told its very expensive. Another lady who was at the same mechanic had the same problem. Im disturbed and not happy with eclectronic failure. I dont think its normal. Can you do anything to resolve this problem?

The on screen door ajar warning shows door open when non exists. This keeps the dome lights from shutting off and can interfear with unlocking or opening other doors with the remote. Sometimes the dome light dome light stays on leaving my battery dead and me stranded.

Car continuously says that it needs to be shifted into park even though it is already in park.
- Rockford, IL, USA
About 2 months ago my front passenger door ajar light started to come on when the door was clearly closed. It since increasingly gotten worse to the point where it always comes on any time the door is opened, and sometimes while driving. It is a safety hazard at night while trying to drive as the dome light will not turn off, as well as the doors will not lock, & it continues to drain my brand new battery that was just installed.

I was driving home from work at approximately 40 mph when an orange wrench popped on my screen and with no warning my car started jerking and sputtering and then quit working and completely decelerated like I had switched my car in neutral. I pressed the gas and nothing happened when I was in the middle of an intersection! I was able to get my car out of the roadway using some of my momentum but I was lucky I was not on an interstate or somewhere else. I was told my throttle body needs replacing. I looked into this issues with the 2011 Edge and apparently there was a notice put out on this throttle body in other vehicles for causing the same problem and leading to very dangerous situations, however mine wasn't included even though I had the exact same problem. I take great care of my car - oil changes every 5,000 miles and special maintenance when necessary and it doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it.

I was driving and suddenly the electrical system just shut off. And the panel said check manual. I was driving up a ramp in a parking lot.

Takata recall the door ajar message displays on my 2011 Ford Edge vehicle constantly and the door is shut. The lights stay illuminated because of the door ajar sensor not working properly. Also I can not lock my doors when I am inside the vehicle when the engine is on which is unsafe in my opinion. I have seen that many people have stated this has happened to their Ford as well, but a recall has not been issued.
- Palestine, TX, USA
I first noticed this problem when I turned on the vehicle in my garage and the passenger door ajar indicator came on as well as all of the interior lights. Even thought the door looked to be securely closed, I opened and closed the door again to be sure. The passenger door ajar indicator and all the interior lights stayed on, which made seeing at night while driving very difficult and dangerous. Additionally, I was unable to lock the doors of the car because of this problem. The technician at the shop said it was a faulty actuator and that many Ford Edge's have had this problem.

Soon after starting my car and putting it in reverse, the passenger door ajar indicator came on as well as all the interior lights. The passenger door looked securely closed, but I tried closing it again to be sure. The passenger door ajar indicator stayed on as well as the interior lights, which made it difficult to see at night. Since then it has stayed on every time I drive the car. Additionally, I am not able to lock the car doors when it is in motion because of this problem. I took it to the shop and they said the actuator was faulty. Apparently this is a wide-spread problem with the Ford Edge.
