Problems with 2013 Ford Edge ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Drivers door ajar light is coming on while driving. doors will not lock with this on which is a safety hazard. door ajar light continues to come on and the alert chime sounds. i have not taken this vehicle in for service for this issue due to the numerous complaints i have read and ford not taking care of the cost to repair this issue. i feel that ford should cover this since it is a safety issue. *tr

When closing drivers door interior lights remain on will not shut off after repeated trys to reclose door. also door ajar light in dash remains on. cannot trust warning display if door is properly shut. have had problem checked and told the door ajar switch is malfunctioning. happens 90% of the time.

Door ajar sensor remains on.

The door ajar sensor/switch is not functioning properly and shows that the driver side door is open/ajar when it is securely closed. when the car "thinks" the door is ajar the dome light does not turn off for several minutes, even while driving, the power locks will not engage and even unlock when the door lock switch is used. in addition, every time the car comes to a stop the alert chimes that the door is ajar. this is very dangerous when having to drive to my work in an urban area (not safely locked in my car) in addition, it is too dangerous to drive with children who may be able to reach the door handle. *tr

Driver side door says it's not closed and lights stays on in dash saying door is ajar, bell rings and interior lights won't go off, after several times of slamming the light goes out. it's something to do with the lock sensor, but ford has not recalled it. i tried spraying wd- 40 in lock area really didn't help it . was told it would cost 300.00-500.00 to repair. come on ford?????? *tr

Drivers door reading door ajar when the door is not ajar. opened and closed multiple times and sensor will still not read that door is closed sometimes. can be driving down the road when door is obviously closed and sensor will start alarming and dome light comes on. *tr

Switch that detects when drivers door is ajar is defective and shows the door is open at all times. therefore the dome light stays on and the door locks will not lock. the doors remains unlocked at all speeds, please do something before one of the thousands of ford vehicles (several model years and several models) is involved in an accident where some child is thrown from the vehicle because the doors opened. help!!! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. the contact stated that the dome light inside the vehicle remained illuminated when the vehicle was parked and locked. as a result, the vehicle alarm sounded and the driver's door ajar sensor indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the switch mechanism inside the door fractured and needed to be replaced. the failure was remedied, but recurred after six months. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who again diagnosed and replaced the switch mechanism. the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. the failure was not repaired. the failure mileage was 31,797.

The door ajar light warning comes on as well as the interior map lights, the door has to be slammed a number of times before the warning goes off and the lights go off. in addition when exiting the car it can not be locked until you slam the door more then once to shut off the alert. *tr

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.

The door ajar light comes on i n driver door almost everytime you shut the door no matter how hard you slam it. it takes several times for b the signal to go off. this a huge safety hazard. while driving the door ajar light will come on randomly and all the interior lights will come on making it hard to see at night. also the doors will not lock if the door ajar signal is turned on. this is ridiculous and i am not happy. this is a newer vehicle and this should be recalled. the dealership wants 500 to fix this. when this is a manufacturer issue! *tr

The driver side door keeps reading door ajar even tho the door is closed. it happens not only when the car is off and we go to lock it, but while we are driving as well. in the middle of driving the car will begin to make alert sounds, the lights will come on, and it will alert us to put the car into park. when we do park and go to lock the car, the dome lights stay on until the timer shuts them off because it is still registering the door as ajar. my main concern with this problem is that we have a newborn and the safety issues with driving this vehicle while alerts are going off is very troublesome. i have set an appointment up with the ford dealership to look at the door, but after reviewing the gross number of complaints about this same issue, it is mind blowing to me that ford has not stepped up and addressed this issue yet. how are you suppose to feel comfortable driving if the car is constantly alerting and telling you that your driver door is open? *tr

Driver's door open light comes on when door is closed. this happens very often and causes interior light to stay on. warning light "shift to park" and warning sound comes on while driving. *tr

The driver door ajar light continues to come on. this results in continues alerts and beeps while driving and causes the interior lights to stay on when away from vehicle. no matter how hard i slam the door i continue to get a message that the door is ajar. this is a common problem among ford edge vehicles as described in many user forums online and should be recalled. *tr

Door ajar light will not go off and interior lights and panel light lights will not go off after door is shut and locked. have to reopen door and start engine, open and close driver door several items to get interior lights, panel lights and "door ajar" light to go off. only happens with driver door. *tr

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!

The door ajar indicator is active when the door is closed. it will remain saying ajar after multiple (30+) tries to open and close the door before it rights itself. this has became dangerous as during night time the interior lights remain on and impairs drivers ability to see surroundings. also, since this issue becomes irritating, it causes the driver to open and close the door multiple times while driving, in hopes the sensor will correct itself. due to these issue i expect ford to warranty the door switch sensor for a more reliable design.

The passenger side door ajar light stays on and the interior lights even when the door is shut. i have to slam the door hard 4-5 times to get it to go off. while driving down the road the light will come on and the alert to "shift to park". i took it to a ford dealer who charged me $80 to say there was nothing wrong. i came home, knowing this wasn't right and found numerous complaints online about the same issue. ford needs to place a recall on this. *tr

The system is showing a "door ajar" alarm, drivers front door. initially i thought it was just because i did not close the door enough so i opened it and pulled harder and the alarm went away. we drove the car for a few days and one morning when it was cold i closed the door and the alarm posted again after opening and closing the door several times the alarm went away. we drove the car a few more days and the alarm was posting 50 % of the time. around december the alarm began posting most of the time, now it post 100% of the time even on the warm days. there are at least three issues when the alarm is on. 1.the dome lights stay on after the car is turned off for around 20 minutes, i'm sure this is not good on the battery. 2.the dome lights do not go off while in reverse, they only go off after you are in drive and move forward for quite a few feet. this makes it difficult to see out of the windows after dark. 3.the doors do not lock after starting the engine. *tr
