Problems with 2013 Ford Edge ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Door ajar warning indicator lights. lights stay on and if you lock the door with key and walk away you have a dead batter they next day. repeated shuting of door will some times will reset door ajar but it eventually fails completely and repeated slamming of door does nothing. pulled fuse to interior lights to keep battery from dying.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. the contact stated that while parked, the passenger door ajar warning light illuminated when the door was closed. in addition, the interior lights illuminated for a longer period after exiting the vehicle. the failure recurred intermittently. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 39,800.

After about 40,000 miles, my car started alerting me that my drivers door was ajar when clearly it was closed. i closed it again and again, but the alert still won't go off. the interior dome lights stay on and the doors do not lock after moving forward down the road. this can be a real safety issue! i'm afraid someone might carjack me with my doors not locking! also, as i stop at stop signs or stop lights, it continually alerts me to put my car in park and shut drivers door. when i do park, get out and lock my car, the dome lights again will not go off. i'm afraid i'll come out after work to a dead battery! please do something! it has been doing this since october 2015!

The door ajar sensor is malfunctioning on both the driver door and driver side passenger door. it is so bad on the passenger door that i do not even use it any more because it is so hard to get the light to go off, since it stays on even though the door is closed. the driver door is also extremely hard to get the sensor to go off, even after opening and closing the door many times. i have also tried flipping the lock switch open and closed in an effort to get the sensor working right so the light will go off. many times i am driving with the inside dome lights on. there have also been times when the light comes on while i am driving. i have tried everything i have googled from compressed air to wd40 to electrical parts cleaner, but the fix is only temporary. i am almost to the point of cutting the wire to the sensor so the door ajar alarm and light will go off, but then that defeats the purpose of the sensor in case the door was actually ajar. i have seen this as an issue since 2011 and i cannot believe it has taken ford this long to fix the problem. my brother-in-law has an explorer with the same latch/switch and has the same problem.

Door ajar light will not go off on drivers door (front left) when starting vehicle. when turning off vehicle dome lights will not go off both instants i have to continue to open and close door and play with the lock until the door ajar light or dome lights goes off. i have read that this is a big problem that ford does not recognize.

The door sensor does not register the door as being closed, i have taken the car to the ford dealer several times, both while still under warranty and now no longer under warranty, and the problem recurs on both front doors. this is a well known flaw, with youtube videos on repair and service. should be subject to a recall.

Driver's door falsely indicating ajar. first occurrence was at 29k miles and local ford dealer cleaned it per tsb 15-0013 and the system worked fine for a period of time. issue would reoccur sporadically for varying duration. it is now a daily issue and needs to be replaced and is "not a warranty item". this issue presents a serious safety issue while driving at night as the interior light comes on as if the door was opened causing reduced visibility as well as removing focus from the road to manually override the interior lighting system.

I was driving my friend and her 9yr old to the store, my door lock sensor was not working and said door ajar so i was unable to lock the doors in drive i tried and they whould just unlock. my friends child was able to open the door while i was going 45mph she could have fell out. this door ajar problem has been happening off. the dome light stays on and im unable to lock the doors. i just bought the car used so its not under warranty. it is a huge saftey issue and i guess after reading the hundreds of complaints about the same issue that nothing is going to be done untill there is a death instead of trying to avoid one. also i heard the police version of the explorer had a similar problem and ford recalled it right away why not the consumer it seems like they dont care about the consumers safety. please help before someone actully gets hurt.

Driving ford edge 2013 approx. 40 mph on highway when the vehicle came to almost a dead stop. it seemed as if the brakes became fully engaged or the transmission seized. a truck behind us swerved and braked and almost crashed into us. my 2 children and i would have been killed. the vehicle shook violently as it moved about 2 mph. i barely was able to get it over to the right, off the highway. it would not go any further. a red wrench icon lit on the dash. i towed it to midway ford. service manager stated the throttle body part is defective and recalled, but resets itself if vehicle is turned off for a while, so if i did not turn off the vehicle, ford would fix it for free. since i turned off the vehicle and it reset, i had to pay him $900 to replace it. since i did not have $900, he advised me to drive the vehicle very slowly on the right side of the road from now on, as a precaution so my children or i do not get injured or killed the next time it happens. if this is ford's criteria for replacing this life threatening defective part, that it must be in active defect status when arriving at the dealer, then not only has ford has found a way to beat paying for the 1.6 million vehicles they agreed to recall with this defect, since you can't drive the vehicle at 900 rpm to the dealer, or tow it while running, but ford is getting rich off the recall (the part is about $185 and takes 15 minutes to replace), and 1.6 million people must pay ford $900 to fix a recalled defective part.

Ca. passenger door says ajar after shutting door. can open and shut over and over and sometimes it will go off, other times will not. causes lights to stay on when vehicle is running and not running. safety concern: the doors will not lock, leaving the back doors unlocked with small children able to open the door. everytime the vehicle stops the annoying alert sensor signal keeps going off. there should be a recall on this, i see it is very common for this vehicle.

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.

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.

Center dash display -- several trips to the dealer with adjustment to the gear shift lever has not corrected the problem. the dealers says that the gear shift parking contact is not signaling the dash display. if the car is left for several days, the display problem creates a dead battery. this condition exists when the ignition is off, keys are removed, all doors are shut and the vehicle is in park. this issue has existed from 2014 through feb. 2, 2016 and is ongoing.
