Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. the contact stated that the passenger door independently registered as open when it was not. as a result, the exterior lighting remained illuminated while driving at any speed. the door ajar warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer to get diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 65,000. update 01/13/16 ma
The door ajar light stays on for both the driver side and passenger side doors. this is causing the interior lights to stay on and is draining my battery. it is also causing the interior light to stay on at night which is making it hard to see. the doors won't lock when in drive because of this problem too.
Door ajar sensor stuck on "open" for driver's side front and rear doors. as a result, dome lights stay on causing difficulty seeing at night, and inability to lock doors while in motion. also, drains battery and has stranded my wife multiple times. repair is very costly and as i understand it, the replacement part is just as susceptible to the problem as the original equipment. ford needs to be responsible for this inherent defect.
The door ajar light remains on and is a safety issue. because the vehicle things the door is open, the doors to not lock while driving or stopped. additionally, the accessories (sync phone connection, radio, etc) do not stay on when car ignition if off and accessory is on. dome lights stay on while driving and backing up which is very dangerous in nighttime conditions.
Door ajar sensor , lights stay on and doors won't lock
My 2011 ford edge inside interior light stays on for several minutes every time i get in the car, i guess its the sensor on my door but its happened on the back hatch door as well. on my dashboard it tell me that i have an open door which its completely closed but light stays on until i drive off. or when i get out of the car and lock the doors the light stays on for several minutes, its draining my battery. when all of this happens i can not even lock my doors when i am driving the car, i need to lock my doors for safety purposes, my doors are always unlock because of this issue. i have been on some other web site where other ford edge owners have had this type of issues. it will cost me roughly $400.00 to fix it which its money i do not have. why was this not on the recall list. i had this issue fixed once but the dealership only did a band aid job on it and did not completely fix it with new parts - help me - also the dealership that i took my car to does not have a loaner car to use when a customer needs it if their car is being repaired.
Door ajar and interior lights remain on even when door is closed . interior lights stay on while driving causing it difficult to see also runs the battery down . continuing lights make it a hazard for the driver and other drivers
Door ajar light stays on regardless of how many times i close the door. the door is closed but the sensor stays on and the light inside the car will not turn off (due to the car thinking the door is open)--not sure if the door does not close all the way. seems unsafe to drive with the car this way since i don't know if it is securely closed.
A door ajar but no door open. latch key assembly had to be changed on driver's side front and now at 80,000 miles latch key change needing changed on passenger rear door. what will it take for ford to recall this issue. posted so many times here.
Drivers side door ajar light on. interior lighting will not turn off. user can't lock doors while driving. dome light stays on draining battery.
The door ajar sensor will not allow the door to be locked while in motion. additionally, it will force the interior light to remain illuminated after removing the key which then drains the battery requiring constant roadside assistance.
The driver door latch sensor (driver door ajar) will not go out after closing the door. the interior lights stay on and the doors will not lock because of it.
The left rear door ajar light comes on and does not go off even when the door is shut. also, the interior lights stay on for up to an hour after parking the car, and for 3-5 minutes after starting the car. this is extremely dangerous when driving at night. it has also killed a battery already.
The driver side door latch not working properly indicates the door is opened when it is closed. there for the dome light stays on till the car reaches 20 miles per hour or about a city block witch makes it hard to drive and cover the dome light at night so u can see out the windshield so not to be blinded by the light .
My ford edge latch door ajar dome light stays on. all 4 doors trigger this fault. *tr
Door ajar warning light on dash does not go out. also, twin interior lights do not go out. this draws down battery when parked and is a safety issue when driving at night. fix from ford dealership is $400+. this is ridiculous, and seems to be a systemic problem. i saw on line repairs of how to fix going back to 1998 ford model from windstars, to rangers, to edges - all models years, all with the same problem. ford has not bothered to fix this problem for years!..3-days ago, i took my 2013 ford taurus to the ford dealership in lancaster, sc for a safety recall to fix defective door latches, and a separate recall check on lights on the license plate for possible moisture leakage. so, i got a safety recall on possibly failed seal on license plate lights, but no recall on an issue with the lights on in the vehicle cab while driving at night??? it makes one wonder who make these decisions about what is a safety issue. is it done solely on the basis of what is cheap and expeditious? if the fix is cheap, recall it and if the fix is a bit more costly, do nothing and let the manufacturer make money off the fix. how can drivers be protected? how can consumers be protected? i hope you can help. thank you.

Door ajar light comes on all the time and prevents doors from locking also interior light stays on.
Our ford edge gives us the door ajar notification upon putting the car in drive and at random times when driving. the doors are all closed when this happens. the overhead lights come on and will not turn off as long as the door ajar warning is on. sometimes, the problem can be corrected by slamming the driver door a few times. other times their seems to be no remedy. other than being extremely annoying, we believe this to be a serious safety issue. the overhead lights make it difficult to see out of our vehicle at night, and if there ever really was a door ajar, we wouldn't know. *tr
Door ajar warning light comes on every time we get into the vehicle and never goes off no matter how many times we close the door. doors do not lock as car begins to move. dome lights stay on for extended period when we start driving and after we have parked the car at end of trip. back up camera doesn't function some of the time, and it never functions completely as it should. car horn goes off at random times while car is parked with no one near it. it is a random sounding honking, not the consistent honk it makes when the panic button is pushed. radio sometimes will not turn on, and sometimes when radio is on while driving, it won't turn off, even after car is turned off, key is taken out, we get out of car and lock it. syncing system doesn't work right. phone calls disconnect randomly. battery warning light comes on sometimes when we turn car on; and dash display is delayed or doesn't come on. we have not had the car stall or start a fire as yet, but are afraid that may come next, as we have ready the many complaints about the 2011 ford edge problems and have found so many people have documented these exact complaints we have listed, and others have had the very dangerous stalling or burning problem. how we hope these problems will be investigated and ford will be forced to fix these dangerous problems before someone is injured or killed because of them. how can ford not have addressed it yet?! *tr
Door ajar warning. doors do not lock automatically nor will they lock with lock control on door or when in motion. only possible way to lock doors is the remote on the key when car is stopped. *tr
Driver door adjar notification won't go off even though all doors are closed. this prevents doors from locking while driving causing safety hazard. also causes the interior lights stay on while driving causing safety hazard at night. sometimes interior lights won't go off at all even after the car has been turned off for hours.
While driven i had a message on my dash board that my driver side door was open. all the interior lights comes on . i checked and all doors were closed and secure. this malfuntion still up today and happen almost everyday during day an night time. during night is a safety issue becsuse you can not see clearly outside.
Driver side door ajar light stays on even when the door is completely shut. interior lights stay on while the door ajar light is on. have already had to replace the battery on 2011 ford edge. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. the contact stated that the down headlights illuminated randomly and failed to dim. in addition, the door ajar signal light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and repaired; however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
I get a door ajar warning when the door is actually closed; the lights won't go off, nor the doors lock. i feel very unsafe with the doors not being able to lock. plus it doesn't help the battery life much either. *tr
Door ajar lights for both driver and passenger side doors stay on even though they are closed. result is that the dome lights stay on and unable to lock the doors while driving even though they are closed. has caused a drain on the battery, dealer wants a large sum of money to replace the latch even though it's clearly a sensor only.
Passenger door ajar warning light comes on intermittently along with interior dome light. opening/closing door usually doesn't fix. warning can come on even if door wasn't opened. can occur when parked (first starting car) or driving. can temporarily override issue by pressing ok button, but can/will happen again. very annoying and is a hazard when driving (kinda startling/distracting) especially if it occurs at night (dome light impairs vision). *tr
-door ajar signal stays on when door is closed tightly. never do i close the door and the door ajar signal goes away. it is always on. -as such, the interior light stays on the in car making it very unsafe and hard to see at night. -i have the inability
The drivers side door adjar sensor is malfunctioning even when the door is fully closed. when this malfunction occurs, the interior overhead light remains lit for 5-10 minutes and it cannot be disabled. this is especially problematic during night driving, because it makes it extremely difficult to see the road and surrounding environment while the light is on. the first time the problem occurred, ford cleaned the contacts and it fixed the error for 6 months and the repair was $148.50 when it appeared again, fords solution was to replace the entire assembly and the cost of this 2nd repair was $340.00. not only have these been expensive repairs, it must be completed because it creates a dangerous driving experience and there is no way to deactivate the sensor. this is a flaw in the design and should be recalled. *tr
Driver door ajar warning persistently on. cabin lights remain on. multiple complaints on internet regarding this problem with ford vehicle. *tr
Driver-side door sensor does not detect that the door is closed and the "door ajar" warning never turns off.
The door sensor erroneously indicates door ajar. this prevents the door locks from actuating and allows children to accidentally open door when moving. also the dome lights stay on at hours of darkness, impeding visibility. *tr
After closing door, the dome lights and door ajar indicator on instrument cluster would illuminate. i would have to slam the door several times to get the dome light and door ajar light indicator light to extinguish. the problem is worse in colder weather. *tr
The door ajar switch does not work. what this has done to the vehicle is the interior lights stay on in the car well after it has been turned off. the vehicle also will not turn the interior light off when running unless you are in drive and move forward. the danger is in reversing at night. the lights do not go out whatsoever in reverse and makes it very difficult to see at night when in reverse. we have almost hit a person, a car and a few poles with this lighting staying on. not only does it pose a threat for a crash or hitting other vehicles it also kills the battery in the vehicle. this should not be an issue in a vehicle this new. please do something about this the lighting that stays on will get someone hurt because the driver cannot see where they are reversing to inthe dark. *tr
Door ajar light stays on. *tr
Door ajar light stays on, even when the door is shut. will not allow automatic door locks to latch. this is a danger to children in the back seat. also, wears out the life of the battery. interior light stay on for 3 min after driving, this makes it a hazard to see when driving. *tr
Just after the manufacturers warranty expired at 36,000 miles the "driver door ajar" notification came on and will not go out. this is an extremely common problem and well known to ford. safety concerns are that the lighting will not go out and driving at night is severely hampered and the doors cannot be locked while the vehicle is in motion. the no-lock issue is a major problem while having children in the car...ie, granddaughter. *tr
The door sensor that registers the driver door being open or shut has malfunctioned. causing it to constantly state the door is ajar when it is closed. very common problem it seems from many complaints from other ford edge owners. it would be great if ford could step up and recall this problem, since its stretching to the lincoln brand too. its very unsafe for these reasons, it causes the cabin light to stay on longer which can cause problems seeing at night til it finally dims, it also drains the battery. being a single mom, i dont want to be stranded somewhere with my child with a dead battery due to this problem. that being said, not being able to lock doors is a major safety issue. i would like to know my family is safe while driving down the road. please fix this problem.
Faulty sensor in the door causes the car to think the driver door is open. door ajar light stays on and vehicle will not lock when driving! lights eventually time out but when inside the car, the doors do not lock! i have had it fixed three times now and it always comes back.
The passenger door ajar warning light comes on when the door is properly shut. this causes the interior lights to stay on until you begin driving the car. in one instance the light would not go off after parking the car, shutting all doors and locking the car. the light stayed on overnight and drained the battery. we have since pulled the fuse to eliminate the light problem. i have researched this problem on the internet and it appears to be happening to many people. this should be recalled and fixed by ford. *tr
Driver door adjar stays on, lites will not turn off in car and door lock will unlock and not work when this is on. it has started doing this again while going down the road lite goes on doors unlock. this has happen since we purchased the vechile had it repaired once.
The "door ajar" warning light started coming on, intermittently at first and then continuously. bad sensor. when this occurs, the doors will not lock using the latch and the interior lights stay on for a time. the only way to lock the doors once inside, is to use the key fob. this can be quite dangerous if not in a good area. this problem has drained my battery on more than one occasion. the problem has been diagnosed, however, most ford dealers want to charge customers $215 plus for diagnostic fees. only then will they repair the problem. my car is still under warranty, so i still wind up paying about what it costs to repair it. (??) car part stores will run a diagnostic for free... this seems to be a chronic issue. when i researched it, tons of information about this specific problem surfaced. it seems ford will not issue a recall when it is so obviously needed.
Door ajar will not turn off for drivers door. problem is intermittent, however more constant when it is hot out side. this causes the dome light to remain on. you can open and close the door several time and sometimes the warning will stop. makes driving difficult when it is dark out because of the dome light being on. *tr
Car reports drivers door is ajar. interior lights stay on while driving and doors can not be locked while driving. keypad can not be used to lock car. after locking car with remote, lights stay on for an extended period of time leading to fly battery.
The dome light stays on, night time driving hazard. false door ajar prevents doors from locking while traveling on highway. doors won't lock major safety issue.
Driver door ajar, passenger door ajar. these alerts come up when my doors are closed. the interior light stays on for ever and i cannot lock my doors! this is not acceptable. i have read hundreds and hundreds of complaints about this exact problem. also, the interior lights just come on randomly when car is parked with no key in ignition. and, the backup camera, when it works, is upside down!! these problems should be recalled, as i see so many others complaining about the exact same issues.
Driver's door ajar sensor was intermittent then went completely out. interior light stays on draining battery when parked. safety concern with door false alert masking actual door not shut condition. additional safety concern with night driving and forced interior light reducing visibility and risk to pedestrians. ford service will only lubricate sensor at customers expense to satisfy tsb-14-0011 causing no confidence in repair and possible re-occurrence of safety issue. this should be a recall and replacement of the faulty sensing unit and/or door latch assembly. *js
Driver door ajar light stays on constantly making the vehicle unable to lock doors automatically and manually. also, interior lights stay on longer making night driving unsafe as well as risk for battery dying. *tr
Door ajar warning stays on even when the door is closed, preventing the dome light from going off and the door from locking while driving. infrequently when i reopen the door and slam it shut the driver's door ajar and light will go off. if it does not and i have to back up it is very hard to see.
When all doors are closed, the door ajar lamp will illuminate. *tr
