Problems with 2012 Ford Edge ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

My drivers door and the back door behind the driver's seat, the door ajar light and warning comes on after i have shut the doors securely and will not go off. very agruavating! i have taken the car to a ford shop and they tell it will cost approximately $600 to repair.

Driver side door sensor is faulty and says my door is open while it is closed and keep dome light on and doesn't lock door when closed and use the keypad outside.

Drivers door ajar warning comes on and the dome lights will not go off. the door is clearly closed. this warning comes on more often than not. very dangerous during night driving

Open door indicator won't turn off

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. the contact stated that when the door on the driver side was closed, the ajar warning light remained illuminated as well as the light above the passenger seat. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the doors and switch assembly needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 54,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. while driving approximately 60 mph, all the interior lights illuminated and the door ajar indicator illuminated. the contact had to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road. the contact removed one of the fuses in order to shut off the interior lights. the dealer was aware of the failure and stated that there were no recalls. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 67,000.

Drivers door ajar repeatedly comes on, dome light illuminates, message to put in park shows. called ford motor co. who reports no recall!! this is a safety issue as it prohibits door locking, turns on interior light during night driving. ford advised that they didn't know if this would be covered by my extended warranty. how can that be? all they could do was give me a case number if it ever turns into a recall. even if out of warranty, this should be considered a latent manufacture safety defect! leaves me wondering how many owners need to report much less be injured before ford takes care of it. i would advise all who have experienced this to report to ford customer service.

Door ajar light came on and would not go off. slammed door multiple times and problems still existed. spent $454.00 dollars to repair the problem. about one month later, purchased 4 new tires($846.00). then, in 2 weeks, tire pressure sensor default light came on and would not go off. had to replace to the tune of $130.00.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. the contact stated that the door ajar indicator was constantly illuminated even when the driver side door was closed. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the door ajar sensor failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 80,000. updated 05/24/16*lj *cn

Like the hundreds of other complaints, when door is properly closed, the "driver door ajar" alert comes on and beeps every time you accelerate from a stop, also causes interior light to stay on. i had not realized it was not allowing me to lock the door until i read all of the other complaints and tested it myself....sure enough, back door can be opened! i am now highly concerned about my 11 month old sitting in the back seat. going to ford tomorrow to figure this out!

Bought a 2012 ford edge with 28,000 miles door ajar light stayed on even when door was shut. ford dealer said the latch just needed cleaning. the work order states ( customer states, door ajar light stays on all the time advise on needed repair- just purchase vehicle from us. checked with ids and drivers front door ajar switch staying on all the time, found tsb #15-0013 for cleaning electronics with special tool for repair, performed tsb#15-0013, repair verified)now 3 months later same problem. door ajar light stays on bell sounds and interior lights come on. this is a certified edge until march 2016. glare from dome light distracting when driving at night. ford needs to fix this problem now.

Drivers side door latch switch. door ajar warning came on dash interior lights will not go off dangerous driving at night. sometimes it goes off and then it's ok. cost to repair $550.00 complete rip off.

At 46,000 miles the driver's side door sensor isn't operating properly. when the door is shut, the sensor thinks the door is open. this causes the interior lights to stay on until you get to more than 15mph. it also causes beeping from the warning indicator telling you to shift the vehicle into park. this sensor is part of the entire latch assembly & not covered under warranty after 36,000 miles. it is very distracting as each time the sensor thinks the door is open and you come to a stop, the warning indicator beeps and says to shift into park.

While getting in my car i realized after i shut the door at still says door ajar on dash. and now its getting worse it wont go off constantly stays on and will not allow you to lock doors.

Driver side ajar light comes on almost every time with door closed

Driver door ajar switch malfunctioning. door ajar display message stays on while door is closed, park/shift indicator comes on.

Driver door ajar warning stays on even after several attempts to close door.

The door ajar sensor is not responding: (just like the other ford customers responding) this is a problem when you have small children. safety issue that there door is unlocked as well. this keeps interior lights on, distracting at night, which could cause glare. i cant park my leave anything in my car when going anywhere because care is unable to lock. and the vehicle this car has 30000 miles on it. i live in areas where there is carjackings feeling very unsafe in my 2012 ford edge with 30000 miles on it. this is so rediculious that ford & nhtsa is looking into this with all the ford vehicles complaining about this. this is a safety issue in more ways than one> get stranded because door ajar causes battery to run down.

This has been an ongoing issue it started out every now and then. now its constant this morning ran my battery down causing crazy things to go on with electrical. the dome light stays on so at night driving is bothersome, and the door locks will not work.

Driver door ajar switch malfunctioning. door ajar display message stays on while door is closed and the result is that the doors will not lock when the vehicle is moving. this is very unsafe! this issue originally occurred at approximately 20k miles and dealer replaced the door ajar switch under warranty. but issue is happening again 2 years later.

Our 2012 ford edge dashboard indicates "door ajar" when the doors are completely shut. the problem is with the driver side door and will cause both the interior lights to remain lit and the factory alarm to activate. we paid the local ford dealer $135.60 (9/02/15 invoice attached) for their repair of the issue but the erroneous "door ajar" warning continues to occur. now we treat the problem ourselves by scouring the door latch with contact cleaner and a toothbrush. but like the dealer fix, this is only temporary. the "safety" issue for us is the prospect of a dead battery interrupting what would ideally be a prompt exit from a parking garage, train station or airport parking lot, late at night. ford knows about the problem and has thus far done nothing to extend their warranty or issue a replacement for the faulty latch mechanism. many amateur fixes can be found on youtube. why they had to outfit a latch with fickle electronics while doing away with a trusty door jamb plunger switch is beyond me!

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. after starting the vehicle, the front driver side door ajar sensor illuminated erroneously, indicating that the door was not closed. when the failure occurred, the interior dome light would remain illuminated for an extended period. while operating the vehicle, an audible alarm would activate and a warning message to park the vehicle would display. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 48,700.

Receiving "driver door ajar" warning while driving, even though the door is secure. at one point i would lock the doors and as i drove the warning would sound and the locks would pop open. the door latch was replaced once before in 2012 by the dealer while still under warranty. now the dealer wants to charge me several hundred dollars to replace it again.

The driver door ajar censor would not go off despite the fact that the door was actually closed. this caused my dome lights to stay on, the car symbol to stay illuminated on the panel, the doors to stay unlocked, and the warning tone to sound while driving. all of these issues occur while stationary and while in motion. i had the par replaced at the dealership for $387 and after one year and two weeks the problem has started to reoccur in the same fashion.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. the contact stated that when the ignition was turned to the off position, a fire ignited under the front hood of the vehicle. the driver and front passenger exited the vehicle and the vehicle was engulfed in flames. the fire department extinguished the fire. a police report was not filed and there were no injuries reported. the vehicle was destroyed. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. the contact stated that the driver side door ajar warning light illuminated while the door was closed. the contact mentioned that the doors only locked manually. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 21,000.

Sensor on passenger door is showing open an door is not open and inside lights stay on and runs the battery down. had to replace battery due to inside lights staying on. doors will not lock when existing vehicle. driving at night and inside light stays on is a driving safety factor. car has been in the shop four times for this same reason. unable to fix it. *tr

The drivers side door alarm always goes off. constant dinging, and the interior lights remain on. i have had to replace 1 battery already. driving at night, especially in reverse, is terribly difficult with the lights on. the door is securely shut, however, that does not stop the alarm. the other issue i've had is the brake booster. i thought it was just the brakes so got those fixed and then stopping was near impossible. i had to push the pedal entirely to the floor to come to a slow stop. should i have had to come to a quick stop, that would have been impossible. my husband did some research to see that this is a common problem so we went to get it repaired. however, it was costly and could have been a total disaster. the car was only 3 years old at the time.

Driver side door does not close properly. door ajar light stays on. happens more in warm weather than cold. has cause dome lights to stay on or come on intermittently . if car not driven for a day or two, has caused battery to drain completely. roadside assistance has had to be called on multiple occasions. has been happening for over a year. when car is in motion, car door ajar is constantly on, and anytime you break to a near stop, the alarm bell chimes.

Driver door remains ajar no matter what we do. interior lights stay on. safety concern because one never knows if door is really closed properly or not! interior lights can drain battery. dealer repaired about 15 months ago. same problem returned. very expensive.

Both the drivers side rear passenger door and the front passenger door closed sensors stopped working. the door ajar sensor is always on which causes the interior lights to stay on and the door locks to unlock while at highway speeds. this happens 100% of the time. the interior lights do go out once i reach 10 mph but there is no visibility when backing up at night making it dangerous for me and anyone that might be behind me.

Drivers door ajar light wont go off no matter what i do to it. causing the dome light to stay on while driving and not being able to lock the doors at all. i contacted my local ford dealer and they told me to try cleaning it with some wd 40 and if that doesn't work to bring it in and they will run some tests on it which would cost me over 300 bucks and then they would go ahead and change the door latch which would cost me another 200 dollars or so and couldn't guarantee that the problem wouldn't come back. a lot of complaints about this same problem ford needs to step up to the plate and fix the problem.

Door ajar and latch issue *door ajar signal stays on when door is close *interior lights stays on *inability to lock doors while in vehicle *faulty latch these safety issues are all one issue these are safety issues and are all one issue. the dome lights stays on and creates a night driving hazard. the dome lights stays on and creates a safety hazard when sitting in a public area at night. the false door ajar signal prevents the driver from recognizing a real door ajar situation very dangerous. the doors will not lock which is a major safety issue. the warning lights of parking comes up

The is closed and the door ajar warning is coming up and not leaving. i have to close the door 10+ times sometime to get the warning to go away. it leaves the light on and runs the battery.

The door ajar warning stays on even when door is closed. at night, the interior lights stay on for 30 seconds- reducing visibility. when driving in slow traffic or after moving from a stop, vehicle beeps and says to shift into park, and then vanishes. distracting and annoying! mileage at 66k.

Warning light for drivers side door is on with door completely closed. shift into park warning flashes while vehicle is under way. radio presets went to default. updated 09/08/15*lj updated 12/16/2015 *js

I was driving home from work and the driver information center displayed "driver door ajar" when the door was definatly shut and locked. after a few minutes this alarm went away and it returned a few days later on my way to the store. the frequency of this problem has been increasing and now my car alarm sounds off seemingly at will, mid-day or midnight because the computer thinks someone opened the door without the key. last night it was going off at 4am. i am concerned that interelated safety equipment might not function because the computer thinks the door is open. this problem also prevents the auto-lock function from working, so someone could open my door at a redlight or in traffic. the repair bill for this problem is just over five hundred dollars. this is clearly an example of inferior parts costing the defenseless consumer money and ford motor co. repeat customers. if you do an online search, you will see that this is a common problem.

Known problem with ford edge based on numerous complaints. driver side door ajar sensor goes off crippling door lock mechanism. not only do lights stay on draining battery but unable to lock door presents safety problem. ford has a tsb for electrical cleaning but that is not effective over time. problems repeats itself with only known fix to be door latch replacement.

Sometimes when i put the car into park, i get repeated warnings to "shift to park". if i don't jiggle the button on the shift knob, my seat and other electrical components will not respond. i have to start the truck a few times, put it through the gears (in drive and reverse), then i press the shift release button several times then the warning stops and my driver seat functions to allow me to get out of the car. this is a pain and the dealer said that if the problem couldn't be duplicated, then they cant do anything about it. i have had the truck in 2 times about this - the transmission shifts hard into gear after slowing or coasting and then accelerating. almost feels like i have hit something when it happens. i'm very concerned, having two toddlers in the truck. i also took video of the parking, shifting into park issue. i just want it fixed....

The driver door ajar sensor light is faulty. the sensor light will not go off and therefor the doors do not lock and the dome light does not go off. took my car to the dealership and as soon as i told him the problem he told me what kind of car i was driving. this tells me that i'm not the only one with this problem. i feel as though there should be a recall as there is some danger that the doors do not lock.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. while driving at any speed, the driver side door ajar sensor failed, which caused the dome light to remain illuminated and drained the battery. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 50,000.

Door ajar sensor stays on even when the door is closed, this evolves the drivers door only....at this time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. while backing out of a parking lot, the front driver side door ajar warning light illuminated even when the door was securely closed. the failure recurred intermittently. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 44,000. updated 09/21/15*lj

Intermittent, the door ajar light comes on-when the door is really closed-it makes the dome lights stay on and the doors will not lock. this is referring the passenger door behind the driver. no matter how many times i open and shut-it still shows that it is open. ..updated 10/06/15 *bf updated 11/08/2017*cn

Door ajar light stays illuminated when door is closed. this causes a distraction to the drive because the interior lights stay illumined when driving. very serious and the dealer wants over 650 to fix the issue.

The door latch light stays on durning drive time, it prevents locked doors and light on mirrors and interior light stay on. i have read there is multiple ford edge drivers with same saftety issue. this needs to be resolved its very dangerouse driving hazard it prevents door from locking during high speeds. ...updated 08-06/15 *bf updated 9/29/2015*js

Typical "door is ajar" error message. upon closing the door, the error message "door is ajar" pops up and the dome lights stay on with the chimes ringing. i also have a problem with the error message "shift to park". i believe these could be related. ford dealer replaced the switch assembly but this didn't solve my problem. this needs recalled as thousands are experiencing this saftey issue with this vehicle!

[xxx] without injury or change by us to the car, the "door ajar" warning began showing up in the instrument panel. the door is securely closed. the warning is on the panel, the warning beep is sounding, and the interior light remains on until you drive forward about 30 feet. this makes backing out of parking spaces, driveways, etc difficult because there is no way to see where you are going because of the bright light. lubricating the door latch assembly does nothing to help. updated 10/9/15 *ln.......updated 10/19/15 *bf updated 12/21/15 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).' *bf *tr

Whenever i entry the vehicle and attempt to close the drivers door, the door ajar warning light comes on. if i don't continue to close the door (at least 4 times) the dome light stays on. the car tells me to put the car in park. when i lock it with the remote, it will beep twice instead of once, a warning that the car is not secure. i can no longer lock or unlock the drivers side by using my hand if the key is on my person. i can do that from the passenger side. my alarm goes off as my car is sitting in my drive way. i had the car diagnosed at the local ford dealer. it is a faulty driver door switch. speaking with ford directly and the dealer, i am told that this is not covered because my car is no longer under warranty. this is occurring because the switch is faulty. when researching this problem, it appears to be an ongoing problem and a safety issue. i purchased this expensive ford new and have always had it serviced at the dealers. i don't understand why ford does not see this as a problem and active a recall. thank you.
