Door latch system malfunction. This triggers a door adjar signal in the vehicle. This ultimately keeps the interior lights on and prohibits you from locking the doors of the vehicle

The driver door ajar light would not turn off with the door closed. This prevents the door locks from working while the car is in motion, including the rear doors where the baby seat is located. This could allow a child to open the door while in motion. Also, the interior lights shine on the windshield at night making I difficult to see oncoming traffic at night.

While vehicle was under warranty, door ajar sensor indicated driver's side door was ajar when it wasn't. dealer cleaned sensor and it worked for awhile. Now vehicle is out of warranty and sensor is failing again, but this time while it was parked in my garage for the night the parking lights and dome lights came on because sensor indicated the driver's side door was ajar.

2013 Ford Edge 3.5L V6 sel the door ajar warning comes on even when the door is completely closed. This causes the interior lights to come on randomly, even while driving at night (mostly 2 lane country roads). I have to stand outside the vehicle when I am done driving and open and shut the door anywhere from 10-20 times before it goes off. This has drained at least 2 batteries by randomly coming on in the middle of the night. I have replaced the switch, the entire lock system twice now. The dealer wants $500 to fix. I can't afford to pay $500 every few months for a bad design by Ford. This is obviously a known issue and has been for quite sometime. Just about every Edge owner has had to deal with this. Ford needs to come up with the proper fix for all doors and at their expense. The consumer is getting ripped off by Ford with this issue.

The door sensors in this vehicle do not sense that the door is closed when it is. This leads to being unable to lock the doors while driving, it also causes the interior lights to remain on when the car is off even after the door is closed and the car is locked which drains the battery. Occasionally, the door will sense that it is closed after slamming it. This has led to an arm injury that I sustained when attempting to do this repeatedly from the inside of the vehicle. This is an ongoing issue and not a one-time occurrence.

Door ajar sensor switch does not work. The door is securely shut, but the interior lights stay on and the warning signal keeps going off. Have had this worked on, but the fix does't last. Terrible design that needs to be addressed!

The driver door ajar alarm continually is initiated even though the door is completely closed. This can cause interior lights to stay on and drain battery when the vehicle is parked. This alarm will continue when the vehicle is in motion. Re-opening and closing the door sometimes solves the problem. If alarm cannot be cancelled, doors don't always lock when vehicle is in motion.

Engine control module-PCM. After 3 years of replacing/repairing items on my car, they now say that the PCM is the cause. I have replaced multiple sensors, catalytic converter, drive shaft, turbo, cooling system, and the list goes on. Had the PCM been diagnosed the first time my check engine light came on and replaced the sensor, I could of saved a lot of time. Every time I would go in, the diagnostic test would show 02 sensor which was replaced numerous times, then they would say catalytic converter, so on so on going down the list. I would get stranded on the highway because the car would completely shut down. Not one person in the past 3 years said the PCM was to blame. After a week of trying to diagnosis my car after once again being stranded on the highway, they are saying the PCM. The mechanic states that the computer module is on back order with Ford. The Ford rep states that they are selling them faster than they can be made. If this part is on back order (2 weeks) and can't keep them in stock, there seems to be an issue with the PCM for Ford. Everything that I have read states it is very hard to diagnosis a PCM but there needs to be a code that appears when it is faulty because this could of been covered under warranty 3 years ago but instead, I have paid a lot of out of pocket to get to this point of replacing the PCM. PCM in high demand with Ford indicates a red flag for this part and issue. Please review.

The door sensor in drivers door is not working. It says it's ajar when it's closed tightly. Issue is when I am driving it will just pop on and interior lights pop on and I have to shut door several times for it sense it's shut and it may not stay that way. It is dangerous when lights pop on at night make it hard to see road have to pull over. Other down side is if I don't stand outside my car when I get out to make sure the interior lights shut off otherwise will drain my battery as it is not sensing door is closed.

The door ajar light will not go off on my 2013 Ford Edge when the door is securely shut. This causes the interior dome to remain on while driving causing a serious driving obstruction and dangerous condition. It is also draining the battery.

Door ajar light stays on. Have to slam the door at least 3-4 times before it goes off. Had it looked at the dealer only to have them only clean the door latch. When problem returned they told me that it was no longer under warranty, too many miles and would cost over $350 to replace door latch. There is clearly a problem with this as my vehicle is not the only vehicle doing this. The other concern besides the door possibly flying open, is having to replace the battery as the dome light stays on for a long period of time after shutting the car off and not being able to lock the car because it thinks the door is ajar. This problem happens when the vehicle is stationary and in motion.
