With all doors closed the drivers side locking mechanism failed causing the cabin lights to come on and and the system to start ringing. When the cabin lights came on they caused temp blindness and I swerved almost hitting pedestrians. This is a safety hazard also all doors unlocked when this happened I fear spmeone with children would find this alarming due to the fact that their children could easily open the door because of the doors being unlocked. After my incident I have to close the door multiable times for it to finally work sometimes slamming it which could cause my window to shatter but its the only way it works. I feel that Ford has put a sub par latch on these cars and have looked up online to see if I was the only one having this problem and found out that 1 out of five Edge owners have the same problem. I tried contacting Ford they just advise me to go to my local dealership which I did but I didnt have the $400 required to fix a problem that should have been fixed at the get go. I motion for a recall on this part.

The driver door ajar sensor is malfunctioning causing multiple problems. Doors don't lock automatically when in motion. It causes cabin lights to remain on once driving lights are on creating visibility issues. This also causes some of the door locking options to malfunction. When driving or stopped it generates false alarms or warnings.

I was driving on the highway and there was a slight jolt.the service engine soon light came on and I lost all acceleration. When I stepped on the gas nothing what happening. I was able to coast to the shoulder and put the vehicle in park. In park the vehicle idled very rough. I turned the vehicle off and moments I tried to turn the vehicle and it took about 5 seconds for the vehicle to turn over, but when it did turn on the warning light was gone and the gas pedal worked. When I stepped on the gas the RPM's went up. I put the car in drive and it worked normal. I've read a about 100 reviews from three different websites from people who this same thing has happened. This seems to be a inherit and common problem.

As with many other Edge owners, the door sensor continues to malfunction. Numerous incidents are reported and discussed online. The "door open" indicator lights up, interior lights remain on and the alarm cannot be activated. My dealer first wanted to charge me to repair; then, repaired it at no cost, after I wrote a letter to the senior vp and service manager. This was on 1/5/15; when the tech reportedly cleaned the sensor. Now, it's about seven months later and the problem has started again and like many others, I am extremely frustrated. A recall should be in order. Please help me and the many other unhappy and concerned owners.

"door ajar" sign will not go off after several attempts to shut the door properly. The sign stays on during a drive with several alerts to stop the car, "shift to park" and shut the door. Also, when you try to lock the door manually, the system still thinks the door is open and will not lock. This is a issue of safety for the driver, and passengers (especially children) if their door cannot be properly locked. When this first started happening the sign would go off after 3-5 attempts. Now after 10 days of having this issue, this sign will not go off at all. As well as the cabin lights will not go off for an extended period of time, draining the battery (even if the car is not turned on). Finally, I took my vehicle to the local Ford dealership and the spring is broken inside the door, the same issue with other Ford brands they have already recalled. This is a major safety issue for transporting children due to the safety issue since the door will not lock. I hope this issue is taken under serious consideration since this is clearly a issue for the 2013 Ford Edge as many others have had this issue as well.

Right before our 3 year warranty expired the "drivers door ajar" warning light came on. We checked it out and other items and all seemed to be ok. One or two days later it came on again and cleared when we shut the door several times. Now 8 days out of warranty it seems to come on almost all the time and won't clear. Also, the dome lights stay on too. I called the dealer and said it would cost me $125 bucks to diagnose plus repair. He said I could call Ford. I called Ford and spoke to kevin who created case # cas7689552, but got disconnected. His statement was to bring it in to a dealer and then they would decide what they would do for me after inspection. I really thought Ford would just fix this. I then called back and spoke to kendra who was nice but same thing. I asked her what she thought I could expect and she said in the best case I would be responsible for a portion of the bill. I looked online and saw one guy take the whole door off to fix and another who cleaned for a temp fix. There were a lot of other people reporting same problem. This has to be an engineering flaw and Ford knows this. It is also unsafe to drive after dark with your inside dome lights on and your door chiming. Please get a recall on this! I don't know what to do yet but I cannot afford a $500 repair bill on something so stupid as this. Shame on Ford.

The door latch sensor is faulty resulting in the door ajar alert staying on constantly, even when all doors are closed properly. The vehicle is unable to be locked while driving and interior lights stay on for a long time after vehicle is turned off due to sensor issue, thus draining the battery.

Door ajar and latch issue - the door ajar signal stays on when I close my door and then interior light stays on. I then am unable to lock the doors while being in the vehicle and I believe this has something to do with a faulty latch. When I move the latch with my fingers, the door ajar light will temporarily go off but sometimes will even come back on while my car is in motion. I bought the car in April and this is the first time this has occurred.

Date above is first alert. Happens everyday now. Door latch mechanism will not engage when the door is closed, and the door ajar warning light will illuminate. Doors will not lock and lights stay on. It is dangerous especially at night when the interior lights are on and you are trying to drive. They only go out when car is going forward. Big safety hazard. I have told Ford about it and have met many others with same problem. They want me to pay for this safety feature $350. It should be recalled so all owners can feel safe with the doors closing, locking and interior lights not illuminating while trying to drive. And the most annoying beeping to alert you that the door is ajar. It has been going on for 1.5 years. I had them lube and clean it once and it just returned. I did pay for that service. Just look at the Ford Edge forums. It is happening to too many people.

The door ajar sensor on driver's door has failed 3 times. The first time was the day we purchased the vehicle. The dealership fixed it. The next time was in February. Now it has failed again. After you enter the vehicle, and shut the door the sensor still reads as the door is open. The doors will not lock the interior lights will not go out, and who knows what else isn't activated.

Driver's side door sensor indicates door ajar, preventing other functions of the vehicle from operating normally, such as dome light turning off while driving and after locking doors, doors will not remain locked while driving and other related functions. Issues causes a drain on the battery until it eventually loses charge, leaving driver stranded. Door ajar indicator remains on the entire time during operation of the vehicle.

The car always says the drivers side door is ajar and the shift to park message shows up on the dash along with the engine on message. None of these messages go away. Its always dinging because it thinks the door is open and the automatic locks dont work. This will be the third time I take this to the garage for the same thing. I understand alot of people have the same problem with this car and Ford will not issue a recall or fix the problem properly.

Driver side door will shut, but inside will show "ajar" with all dome lights on. After numerous times (20+) of opening and closing the door, it will sometimes finally close to stop showing ajar and lights will turn off. In my opinion, this is a safety hazard if driving at night as I've experienced already once with my door not willing to close properly at night, and having to drive with all dome lights on (huge issue). Went to a Ford dealer that says they will run a diagnostics test to see what's wrong, but there are hundreds if not thousands of complaints already on-line of people having the same issue and this still hasn't been addressed by Ford for a recall. Many are saying the costs are from $250-$500 for repairs to get it fixed. For a 2 year old car, this should not be happening!
