Less than 24 hours after I purchased this certified used vehicle from a Ford dealer, driver's door ajar warning appears while vehicle is in motion even though door is firmly latched. All doors instantly automatically unlock while driving. Doors cannot be re-locked because they immediately unlock again. This represents an accident hazard because it allows occupants to potentially be thrown from the vehicle in the event of a collision. This condition is apparently due to a faulty door latch switch and is well documented by hundreds of complaints on the internet.

Door ajar warning on dash- interior light stays on-doors won't lock

- Linden, NJ, USA

Driver side door ajar issue- when the door is closed the door ajar light will come on while driving or while parked. The interior lights will stay on even while driving at night. The door locks will also not stay locked. This will happen whether driving on the highway or in the city. Every time you drive the car this will happen. When the car is turned off and parked the interior lights will stay on. I have to open and close the door several times in order for the lights to finally shut off.

Door ajar light stays on when door is fully closed. This is a known issue by Ford they even have a technical bulletin on the issue. Many discussion on line exist about the same condition. These are not old vehicles. This is a safety issue and should be recalled. 1. interior lights can come on due to this issue at any time causing a blinding issue while driving at night. 2. unable to lock doors while in vehicle. 3. unable to know if the door is really closed properly. 4. three warnings continue to pop up continually while driving that engine is on, shift to park and door ajar. Please request that Ford does the right thing for safety and recalls this defective part.

While I was driving my vehicle, I completely lost power. My car was driving on its own, about 2mph on the road, while everyone else was driving 45mph. This happened suddenly, and my car was not able to stop when I was at a red light. This was an extremely scary situation because while I was driving, my car suddenly stopped. The cars around me could have easily collided with mine, especially when my car was not able to stop until I was able to get off the road and put it in park. While my car was in park, it was shaking. I had to get my car towed to a dealership where they proceeded to tell me that I have a throttle body problem. This is something I never heard of. But to know that at any time, my car can randomly stop on its own is scary. I was told that Ford is aware of this problem, but it has not been recalled. Ford has a duty to make sure that its product is safe for the ordinary consumer. A breach of that duty is putting an unsafe product out there, aware of the problem, and not taking remedial measures. Someone can lose their life by a car completely losing power on the road, and that life could have been mine. Something needs to be done to fix the problem that Ford is clearly aware of.

The driver side door shows it is ajar when the door is closed. This will not allow the doors to be locked while driving. Also the interior lights will not turn off. This a major safety hazard both during the day and night. Reading online a number of complaints have been made dating back to the 2011 models. M.carcomplaints.com/Ford/Edge/2013/accessories-interior/door_ajar_light_on.shtml there dozens of posts online regarding this same problem but yet no recall to date

The driver side door open/close sensor its not working

- Tulsa, OK, USA

On Y 2013 Ford Edge sel AWD with 36,600 miles the door ajar indicator stays on, even when door is closed and latched. This causes a number of issues: The door chime sounds when car starts in motion, which is very annoying in stop-and-go traffic; doors will not stay locked, which is a safety concern; interior dome light stays lit at night when first starting in motion, which is a safety issue. I was hoping that the issue, which obviously is a manufacturing/design defect, would be covered in a recall notice. So far it has not and I hesitate to pay several hundred $ for a dealer "fix" that does not really resolve the problem.I have read that the cost (parts & labor) is in the $400. Of course this problem comes up just as the vehicle goes out of warranty due to mileage

Drivers side door ajar alarm goes off after the door is securely closed. The alarm begins as soon as the key enters the ignition. Have closed the door in many different ways (lightly, little harder), it does not correct the situation. Alarm also goes off while driving.
