The driver door ajar switch/alarm remains on when the drivers door is firmly closed when stationary and when in motion. This causes the dome light to remain on which makes it hard to see, dangerous, to drive at night. The doors will not lock when driving which can be unsafe. This condition is constant on any type of street or any parking situation. My Edge had around 31,000 miles when this problem started.

For the past several months I have been having a problem with a message telling me that the driver door is ajar. The message tells me to put the car in park and shut the door. After several tries to get the message off, sometimes it will work but most of the time I end up shutting and reshutting the door to get the message off. And while the message is on the interior lights stay on. Sometimes I spend hours trying to get the message off. I have been told that it is a sensor. This needs to be fixed. A recall must be made to take care of this problem. Also, in addition to the lights staying on, the doors will not lock. It is very annoying and not safe. Also, I am worried that the battery will run down. I am getting to the point that I don't even want to drive the car.

On three separate occasions in the last three months the door ajar sensor has malfunctioned on the Ford Edge. These issues surfaced twice with the driver's door and once with the rear driver's passenger door. Despite being closed, the sensor activates to show that the door is ajar. The lights on the vehicle stay on, the alarm sounds. The repair costs for this problem are around $500 per incident. A quick search of the internet finds this to be a reoccurring problem for many Ford Edge owners but no one at Ford or the government will help address the problem. I'm writing for you to investigate this issue.

Door ajar light on from bad door sensor on drivers door. This is our 2nd Edge with the exact same problem. The issues caused by this is the battery drains, lights stay on inside vehicle with no way to turn them off other than by removing fuses and doors will not lock as it thinks the car doors are open.

- Dunlap, TN, USA

Door ajar warning stays on even though door is closed. Very annoying and frustrating. Have to close door multiple times to get it to go off. Car has only 36,000 miles on it. Afraid may run battery down because lights won't go off. Tired of having to keep slamming doors to get it stopped. Researched and found other of their models did this and were recalled but for some reason they won't do the Edge.

Driver door ajar light has started coming on regularly even though all doors are shut. Sometimes it happens while driving and I get a "shift to park" warning. I then have to pull over and slam the door shut several times to clear it. It's becoming a hassle and lights stay on so it drains the battery. This is a defect and Ford should issue a recall and fix this issue. It's a safety hazard as far as I'm concerned.
