My 2013 ford edge suv is in the ford shop as i write this ? it's been there since friday, due to a latch issue ? which is a ford part malfunction. (a bad part) a part that will not last and may need to be replace again.. *tr i google it friday and saw there are so many complaints on the part, i don't understand why it's not recalled or the ford company i bought it from can't just replace it. ford wants $484 from me to replace this part, i am so upset. plus they have had my car for three days. after this i am done with fords!!! my first new suv, my first ford purchase and it's already in a shop, due to a part that was not a good part to start out with. if you guys want to buy this suv from me, make me an offer. i am not a happy customer. ready to go to toyota or a honda. *tr

Door ajar light stays on. have to slam the door at least 3-4 times before it goes off. had it looked at the dealer only to have them only clean the door latch. when problem returned they told me that it was no longer under warranty, too many miles and would cost over $350.00 to replace door latch. there is clearly a problem with this as my vehicle is not the only vehicle doing this. the other concern besides the door possibly flying open, is having to replace the battery as the dome light stays on for a long period of time after shutting the car off and not being able to lock the car because it thinks the door is ajar. this problem happens when the vehicle is stationary and in motion.

Driver side door ajar sensor not working..wont allow doors to lock while driving bell continues to ring while driving and door ajar light stays on while driving. these factors causes hazardous conditions while driving. being unable to lock doors is very dangerous especially when you have children in the car. someone can open your door and harm you. there is so many complaints regarding this issue it needs to be addressed immediately. recall a must. *tr

Driver door sensor does not sense the door is closed. this prevents the over head dome light from shutting off, which at night making it hard to see out the front windshield. the door locks also will not stay locked even if you manually push down the indicator. this allows my children to open the rear doors as we drive down the street. i was told twice now that this is not a safety issue and nothing is broken, so it isnt covered under warranty or a recall.

The door latch on the 2013 ford edge is faulty, and continually has to be replaced. this is the second time in 6 months we have had to have this replaced, and this time, we are 3000 miles over our warranty, and are having to go out of pocket for this - an expense of over $300. additionally, because the door latch doesn't work correctly, it continually causes the interior lights of the cart to stay on, which has caused the battery to deplete, and we are now facing the charge for a new battery as well in order to get our vehicle in working order. lastly, ford informed us today that the factory battery that they installed is "too small" for this size vehicle, and a larger capacity battery should be put in its place. we purchased this car new, and issues like this make us feel as if we've purchased a lemon. ford is now charging us for a part that is clearly poorly manufactured, and as a consequence, causing us to buy additional parts like batteries to support their mistakes. *tr

Driver door ajar warning stays on. with that the dome light stays on and car will not lock while driving. drains battery. alarm keeps beeping as i'm driving. all are safety concerns.

Driver door ajar sensor failing. even though the driver door is fully closed and locked, the dash reports the door is ajar. causes dome lights to stay on, chimes to sound, and drains battery. cleaning and oiling with silicon spray helps some, but is a temporary fix at best. ford dealer wants over $600 to replace latch assembly. *tr

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.

Door ajar warning light/signal on the drivers side does not go off despite door being closed. *tr

Door ajar light remains on when door is shut and interior lights stay on. in addition, each time you stop and resume driving the chimes ding which distract driver. if you do not notice interior lights are on when you lock your car, battery will be dead when you return. in addition to a increased possibility of a motor vehicle accident this defect also subjects you to being victim of a crime when you return to a stranded vehicle and have to wait for assistance to arrive.

The sensor on the driver's side door to detect door closure malfunctions repeatedly and does not register that the door is closed even if the door latch is in proper position. this creates a significant safety hazard in that the doors cannot be fully locked (significant crash safety risk) while driving or stopped at a stoplight (personal security risk, remains able to open door from the exterior). this is a recurrent problem and from encounters with other owners, this is consistent across these vehicles and recurs even if the part if replaced. this is in validation of fmvss no. 206 requirements. *tr

Driver door latch failure. dome light stays on and warning beep.

My 2013 edge is new within the past 2 years and it is currently under lease. the door ajar notification is being triggered constantly which in turn affects other mechanisms or electrical systems in the car. the inability for the driver side door to close triggers cab lights, the door ajar lights, and the locking of doors. these issues can occur while stationary/parking and at various speeds while driving...at night and during the day. the cab light being on at night is the most dangerous from a driving standpoint, because it affects visibility to a point of wanting to try and open and shut it at high speeds. i don't know if having the cab light on while it is parked is enough to drain the battery or even how long the cab light even stays on, but unfortunately i'm going to probably learn this the hard way and be stranded. also, there is definitely a risk of having items stolen from my car. *tr

The driver's door sensor is defective causing the doors to not lock and the interior lights to stay on. the lights on is a safety hazard especially at night. the false door ajar warning could cause the driver to disregard a true door ajar warning. *tr

The driver's door sensor indicates that the door is ajar when it is closed and will not turn off until the door is repeatedly slammed. the interior dome light will not turn off and the electronic chime will continue to sound until the sensor is acknowledged or the door is slammed until the sensor turns off. *tr

Door adjar switch doesn't work. interior lights stay on draining the battery, cannot lock doors anything! this is a major problem with all of these vehicles. *tr

Bad function door sensor, dashboard shows open driver door, even when it is closed. it happens all time

The door ajar sensor comes on anytime the door is open and the key is in the ignition. before the above date the sensor went off as soon as you shut the door. now it is on all the time unless i open and shut the door 5 - 20 times to get it to go off. it will not allow me to lock the doors with it on. the dome light won't go off and many times i am forced to drive to work with it still on because i can't be late for work sitting at home opening and closing my door over and over again. my son has a 2011 ford edge and my friend has a 2006 ford edge all with the same problem. how long is this going to go on before someone makes ford fix this problem for everyone?! *tr

Vehicle states that drivers door is ajar when it is closed. multiple times it will not recognize it is closed and doors will not lock and interior lights stay on. *tr

My left rear door stays ajar which keeps the lights on which kills my battery. also when i'm in park my drive traction control light turns off and on. as a ford customer i wish they would recall these defects so i wouldn't have to pay for parts out of my own pocket. *tr

After entering vehicle and securely closing driver door, the door ajar sensor indicates the door is not latched. opening and closing the door several times usually will eventually rectify the problem. sometimes the door ajar sensor will trigger while driving for no apparent reason. this has also happened twice when rolling up the driver-side windows as the window just reaches the closed position. *tr

The drivers door ajar switch gives false ajar indications. this causes the dome lights to stay on which is a night time driving safety hazard. the false reading prevents the driver for seeing any valid ajar situations. with the dome lights on, creates an unsafe environments when sitting in the car at night in a public area. the doors will not lock when sitting in the car. *js

Door ajar light remains on repeatedly when door is correctly shut. this is a recurring problem that typically happens daily. due to the false door ajar warning, the vehicle may be driven with the door ajar warning on. if the door were actually ajar, this could cause a safety risk. vehicle doors cannot be locked when door ajar warning is present. this could present a safety risk if doors need to be locked. *tr

Driver's door open remains on when door is closed. warning sound comes on while driving. *tr

Door ajar warning is present when door is closed. no matter how many times we close the door, the light stays on. we are able to both park and drive with this alarm on but the cabin lights stay on the entire time. we experienced the first issue in january 2015 and the ford fuller dealership in chula vista, ca replace it because the car was under warranty. july 2016, the same warning was appearing on the dash board with the same issue. we took it back to the dealership where we purchased it, and had the first repair done, and they would not cover their faulty work. they stated that since our 3 year warranty had expired the issue would no longer be covered, regardless of the fact that they "fixed" the issue when it was under warranty and they guarantee their repairs for 2 years. we ended up having to replace our door latch again as well as a new battery for this issue. we hope a recall is made soon because this is getting out of control and pricey.
