The " driver door ajar" light is constantly on even thought the door isn't ajar. Because of this, I am unable to lock my doors when the key is in the ignition. This is a huge safety concern.

My 2011 Ford Edge limited turns off if a traffic light last longer than 30 seconds, then I have to quickly put the car in park and restart it. This morning it turned off on me while going 70 mph on a busy highway!! when I got to my office this morning I was shaking so I took to the internet to see if I could find any information about this. I was surprised to find one page after another regarding this same issue! I've read close to 500 similiar complaints so far this morning and many many more left to read by people with the exact same problem! how hasn't Ford or your Agency not issue a recall. This is criminal and a total disgrace to Ford and your Agency if you too are hiding something! this will, if it hasn't already, get someone killed!!

To whom it may concern, I have a 2011 Ford Edge limited that I bought from shultz Ford in wexford pa in 2014. I had wonderful customer service and couldn't ask for a better team to work with. [xxx] was a great salesman and treated me like I was his friend instead of a salesman. My experience was the best! in March of 2016, I was made aware of the apim module for my 2011 Ford Edge limited being extended from the original manufactures date. I notified shultz in March of 2016 only to find out that the warranty was expired by one month. It's not their fault by any means, but to me and my family it is a safety concern and also a liability. You see, I have 4 precious children and they are active and always playing from ages 2 to 9 years old. If they are playing in the yard I cannot see them when I put my Ford in reverse, and as you know in the past and now several children have lost their lives due drivers not knowing if anything is behind them. This is a huge safety concern for me and gives me anxiety thinking of this. I truly and honestly feel this should be a safety recall and not just an extended warranty repair. So at present day, my back up camera continues not to work and blacks out and I do not have any idea if anyone is behind me or not. It's very discouraging because I love Ford and the product that you produce. All I'm asking is that you will replace this apim module because Ford needs to ensure the safety of its customers and guarantee its cars are made well and functioning as they were intended. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The door ajar light is constantly on causing the interior lights to stay on after you get out of car and while you are driving. Also the car locks will not lock while driving the car and you can't leave the key in the ignition while parked but staying in the car. A bell will just keep ringing until you remove the key.

The passenger door ajar light comes on even after the door is closed, and the even if the car is turned off and the doors locked it will act like the door comes open and set the alarm off and or turn the interior lights on causing the battery to die. It happens continuously everyday.

The door ajar light remains on even when the door is closed. Opening and closing the door does nothing and the light remaining on is intermittent, with no rhyme or reason. When the light is illuminated, and the car is in drive, the interior lights remain on for about 60 seconds, then go out. This is especially bothersome when driving at night as it makes it difficult to see. Additionally, all doors will not lock while the car is on the road. When parked, with all doors closed, the interior lights will remain on for several minutes - up to 20 that I've witnessed. The car alarm will also be triggered after some time. I have had to replace the battery already once and have spent close to $1000 to have this issue fixed but the dealership has been unable to prevent the door ajar light from staying on.

The door latch indicator continually shows that the driver's door is ajar at all times. As a result, the interior lights and "door open " lights remain lit when the car is turned off, draining the battery. The door locks do not engage when the vehicle is in motion, a safety issue.

Door ajar on front passenger door and interior lights and exterior lights staying on and not being able to automatic locking mechanism after you start driving or being able to lock the car when you park said vehicle. Was told by dealer Ford is notorious for the Ford 2011 Edge 3.5L V6 electrical-switch & relay door open warning relay was major problem with this vehicle. And it will keep the computer open and will drain the battery quickly causing the vehicle to die on the roadside after over 1500 complaint to Ford company they stated not enough complaint.....this is a safety issue if you have children they can open a unlocked door what more proof do you need Ford not to recall this issue and fix it !!

The driver door ajar light does not go off when the door is shut. This started as an intermittent problem back in March, 2017 but now happens almost every time. Even if it does go off when the door shuts, it now comes back on while driving. When the door ajar light is on, the doors cannot be locked and the interior lights stay illuminated. This happens when exiting the car as well which again does not allow it to be locked and the interior lights stay on draining the battery. I've been told that this is a very well known issue but Ford has decided not to do a recall. Customers are having to pay for the replacement of the sensors on their own which is anywhere from $450 - $600. While there are no "safety" issues involved with this faulty sensor, it doesn't make sense that Ford would not correct this issue after building in all the "safety" features around the locking process and mechanisms.
