Edge

  • 54,400 miles
The sensor on the driver's door latch failed to detect that the door was closed in order to lock the doors. Need to slam door several times to attempt to activate sensor. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't work. Interior lights remain on while door is parked (draining battery) or while driving, which is a safety distraction at night. Doors do not lock and when trying to manually lock, the vehicle automatically unlocks all doors - very unsafe with children or elderly in vehicle. Ford warranty expires at the low mileage of 36,000 miles, so they will not fix without spending $450. The Ford warranty is very poor compared to all other vehicles. Updated 09/03/15

Driver door sensory light "door ajar." Door is always shut when it trips & even periodically while driving down road. It's been cleaned repeatedly, supposedly fixed at local Ford dealership once a few months back, & doing it again. Cleaning hasn't worked this round either.

Edge

  • 49,000 miles
The driver door ajar sensor keeps staying on even when the door is shut all the way. It takes several attempts of opening and closing the door to get it to go off. While the door ajar sensor is on you can not lock your doors which is a safety issue. Because of this manufacturers defect it is easy for anyone to open the door and be attached or car jacked. If you are not careful the light can stay on for hours and drain your battery. I am sure nothing will get done about this until someone is killed or attached because of this defect. Its a shame!!!

The driver's side door ajar warning/indicator light it near impossible to get it to switch off. If the warning light is on then the doors will not lock and the doors must lock so 'we' I can feel safe driving the Edge. It is not safe to drive around with the doors unlocked these days! it sometimes take many multiple slams of the door to get it to go off and the doom light to also turn off. Sometimes there is no way to get the warning light to turn off (so the doom light stays on), which kills the battery. There are many hundreds and hundreds of these complaints online, so please make Ford do the right think and correct their known problem! when the door does not latch the locks will not engage, an un-lached door is bad enough but not having a locked door at some red lights can be a literal killer or a literal mugging!

Door ajar warning light will not go off, even if door is closed. Online research shows that this problem has been ongoing for years with thousands of vehicles. Ford will not acknowledge problem. Cost to repair:$500 and eventually four doors:$2000. Interior lights do not go off causing problem at night.

Edge

  • 58,000 miles
The front driver side door ajar switch is malfunctioning. The door does not 'know' it is closed. Sometimes slamming it works, sometimes not. Did some online research and this is a very common issue and the fix is very expensive. Many mechanics think it should be recalled.

problem #134

May 232015

Edge

  • 44,270 miles
Door ajar signal stays on when door is closed which keeps the interior light on and prohibits the doors from locking while driving. This creates safety issues through the distraction of having the interior light constantly on and the doors not locking. Through online research, I've noticed that this is a very common problem for my type of vehicle and noticed that nothing has been done about it at this point.

problem #130

May 012015

Edge

  • 34,500 miles
The driver door ajar alarm started going off, and the doors unlocked while the car was moving on the interstate. It has now happened several times both while driving down the road and when getting in the vehicle. Now, the dome light and outside marker lights remain on and drain the battery when the vehicle is in park because the sensor isn't reading that the doors are closed.

- Geneseo, IL, USA

problem #129

May 112015

Edge

  • 63,000 miles
Vehicle door lock sensor is malfunctioning incorrectly creating driving and safety hazards, believes door is ajar when completely closed. Vehicle asks you to shift to park and dome lights stay on while driving at night creating a glare. Doors do not auto lock when driving which if a child grabbed a handle, they could potentially be thrown from the vehicle. Security of the vehicle is compromised with this issue, as well as a tendency to drain the battery, creating environmental issues due to frequently needing to purchase / change replacement battery.

2013 Ford Edge driver door sensor remains ajar, I close the door more than 7 times for the inside light to turn off. While driving the sensor will turn on and doors will not lock.

problem #127

Dec 012013

Edge

  • 29,000 miles
Door latch switch will not recognize that the door is shut. I took it in for warranty and Ford sprayed it with lub. And said it would fine. Because of it everytime you brake there is a chime. You cannot lock the doors the pop open again. Dome lights will not go off and battery in car will go dead if you leave the keys in the ignition. I am concerned that the airbags will not deploy in an accident. I think that this needs further investigation on Ford behalf. It is a distraction during driving and also a safety concern the doors will not lock when I have kids in the car. I tried to have it repaired and the repair failed.
