Problems with 2013 Ford Edge ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Driver side door adjar warning light will not go out.

While driving the vehicle stalls numerous times without warning and you lose all control.

While it starts intermittently, the 'door ajar' light is coming on ' and staying on even when the door is certainly closed. over time there is no amount of door slamming that can get that warning light to shut off. it's most likely an electrical issue related to the switch inside the latch mechanism. while the door will mechanically latch, issues with the switch make the door appear to be open to the car's electronic control unit (ecu). it doesn't matter if the vehicle is in park, drive, neutral, reverse. the light still remains on when attempting to close the door. this has been happening for several months.

Door latch closed sensor not working. well documented issue amongst thousands of ford owners. door either will not register as closed, or will appear to have come open while driving, causing interior lights to come on at night, doors not to lock properly, battery to drain over night, etc. this issue was a recall for ford several years back on different models but they are not being recalled anymore and this needs to be changed, it is a major concern. for me it has been ongoing for several months, steadily getting worse.

The "door ajar" light and chime won't turn off, even though the door is definitely closed. the fob won't open the door. the overhead courtesy lights stay on when the ignition is off because the electronics indicate the door is open. this drains the battery. this problem first occurred around 2015, while the car was in its bumper to bumper phase. they fixed it lickity split. now, in its extended ford warranty, you can likely guess, it isn't covered. for $486 they can put a new lock sensor in the door. guaranteed to be my last ford product.

Driver side door ajar alarm remains on after door is closed. constant alarms when stopping to place vehicle in park. doors will not lock and lighting remains on in car.

Driver side door gives warning of door ajar when door is cocompletely shut, causing the safety of my 5 year old and i to be compromised by the vehicles inability to lock the doors while in motion as well as leaving the interior lights on which impairs evening visability. lastly it continues to provide a warning alarm which impairs drivers concentration and ability to maintain focus and safety on the road and on other drivers as well as driving safety procedures. problem.is intermittent amd will happen when parked or randomly while driving. problem persists even after slamming door, which can cause further damage to the proper functionality and safety of the vehicle that is controlled through the doors control pannel. if issue persists i plan on filing with the bbb in regards to this issue and the negligence of ford in this hazardous compromise on safety for those in the vehicle, especially in cases including youth and children.

Driver door sensor stays light saying door is ajar.

Right driver door ajar stays lite even with door shut. this causes inside light to stay on till car is driven approximately 50ft. this light staying on causes visibility to be poor especially at night is a safety issue.this has been happening since i bought car new and has just continued to get worse.

The door ajar warning stays on with the door closed. this is a common problem with the door sensor on this make and model.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. while driving various speeds, the door ajar warning indicator illuminated. the contact also stated that the rear passenger door independently unlocked. the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

Car mileage 84,000. 90% city driving 10% mountain 1. vehicle was parked in driveway and preparing to leave for work. opened rear driver side passenger door, put items inside and closed door. entered drivers side, turned key on to start car. received red warning on dash that let passenger door was ajar. opened and shut door again same warning. tried this 7 times. interior lights would not dim with door ajar warning, even with doors closed. after seventh time warning subsided.and interior lights dimmed out. 2. the following day the wife stopped for gas. she filled the car, then got back inside and started the car. she received the left passenger door ajar warning, even though she had not opened that door either leaving home or at the gas station. she got out shut the door. the warning subsided and she went on her way. 3. we've encountered the same problem the last three days, as item 1 above, parked in the driveway, parked at the store.

Door ajar issue. results in doom light not turning off. vehicle is stationary. issue happened about two years ago, at time of purchase. it was corrected, and now it is again an issue. 12\20/17

The "door ajar" message continues to come on and stay on; even though the door has been closed correctly. this is the drivers side door. this occurs constantly. it continues to make ringing sounds which are disruptive while driving. it occurs when parked, or driving.

My 2013 ford edge with 48,000 miles has a very annoying driver door ajar error message. this message will not go away when it's very obvious my driver's side door is closed. my interior light stays on at night time for unspecified amounts of time making it very difficult to drive. this issue also is draining my battery as the interior lights stay on after closing and arming the alarm. ford is charging 125 dolalrs just to look at the issue then another 400-500 dollars to replace the parts with the same reported defective parts. totally ridiculous on ford's part. i will never ever purchase another ford vehicle again.

The drives door ajar light stays on. you do not know if your door is closed or not. everyone with this problem will eventually ignore this light even when there door may be open. it is obvius the safety problems this could cause.

Rear left door ajar light stays on keeping the courtesy lights to stay on after the car is off causing the battery to drain.

I have been having numerous problems with the passenger side door latch always reading that the door is ajar. there is no amount of force shutting the door that makes it go away. i am aware of the problems that have been going on with several models of ford vehicles. i consider this a hazard for several reasons. the door locks will not automatically engage.for the entire vehicle because of this, potentially causing the doors to open if there were any type of impact. there is also the random locking and unlocking that occurs which makes my vehicle impossible to secure. i want to file this complaint in hopes that ford will correct this problem from their end and not charge the consumer a minimum of 500 dollars per latch for a fix that has not been guaranteed.

Driver door ajar remains on with door closed. cannot lock doors and lights drain battery.

Door ajar warning. the car does not recognize when you shut the door. when you start the car the interior lights stay on and the warning light for door ajar stays illuminated. also, the error code shift to park dings everytime you take off from a stop. the doors do not lock while the car is running and in motion. if you attempt to lock the doors manually they immediately unlock. when the car is turned off and locked from the fob the exterior lights stay illuminated for an extended amount of time. this is very draining on the battery.

'driver door ajar' notification is present while in motion in spite of door being closed/latched. doors won't lock while in the car (whether in motion or stationary) & alarm cannot be set because of this. several times, the notification wasn't present only to pop up while driving & doors unlocked & wouldn't lock again. sometimes notification goes away but it's been increasing in frequency the last month & a half. "driver door ajar" notification is present more often than not. safety is an issue & frustration is high. slamming the door doesn't work. shutting the door lightly doesn't work. shutting the door normally doesn't work. there's no rhyme of reason to it. regarding "when did this happen", it's been happening for the last month & a half (beginning of sept until now) .

Driver's side rear door is indicated as always open/ajar. the on-dash warning shows up when the vehicle is started. when vehicle is driven in reverse, the interior lights stay on. when the vehicle is driven forward, the lights fade out but the doors to not lock automatically. this is a safety concern. when the vehicle is sitting in my garage, the convenience lights will randomly turn on. this started happening close to two years ago and was intermittent. now it is very consistent. i used 10/15/2017 for this report since i don't remember when this first happened.

Door ajar warning comes on with doors fully shut. can happen while stationary or moving. door locks do not actuate when this happens. has run battery dead 3 times. vehicle has 49,000 miles and is kept in garage.

Door ajar light on dash always on when ignition key is inserted - doors securely latched - dome lights stay on, draining battery - doors won't lock for safety in motion - dealer trying to act like they never heard of it, although thousands mentioned online - vehicle has 30600 miles

Battery drain from something. car battery will go dead for no reason. i've had to have car jump started 5 times in 3 weeks. no getting battery saver mode is off. battery will test good with proper voltage. then it will test at 9 volts. jump it and it will be fine and charge. then it will go dead again. something is draining the battery and ford has no clue but to say let's put a new battery in. and then the new battery will go dead.

Drivers door latch. door is closed and door ajar alarm stays on causing battery drain if you don't get it to go off. battery has went dead 5 times because interior lights won't go if door ajar alarm is on. this also causes door locks not to work. fords fix is to service the latch with cleaning that lasts only a couple months at $250.00. to replace latch can be in excess of $500.00 for a $50.00 part. a battery can only take going dead so many times. battery's can cost well over $100.00 dollars to replace.

Vehicle was in motion when all systems, including power steering stopped during a left turn. upon inspection, battery was dead. prior to this, the "door ajar" warning indicator was light, despite the door being latched. certified ford service center said that the door was indeed latched, so there was no safety issue there. however, didn't inform that it would drain battery. occasionally, the vehicle parking headlights would come on, along with dome light when not in operation.

A couple weeks ago the "door ajar" warning light appeared. i've repeatedly checked the condition of the doors and light doesn't go off. i've read of the problem on line and it seems to be a common issue, expensive to repair, and known to cause issues with the battery life and operation of the locking/electrical system.

The door ajar indicator light is on but the doors are shut tight also the doors come unlocked while driving without us touching any buttons.

Drivers door keeps telling me door is ajar. i have to close the door and open it several times to clear the message. if you don't clear the message, it could kill your battery. i have seen many complaints from ford owners on this exact issue.

I have a 2013 ford edge which began experiencing intermittent issues with the driver door ajar switch at approximately 50k miles. the switch was repaired by a ford dealer at approximately 61k miles and within 6 months began to reoccur. now a year later at 79k miles it comes and goes most everyday it is driven. some days it is when you first get in the vehicle, other days it may suddenly unlock the doors at highway speeds and sound the alarm telling you to place the vehicle in park and close the door. this is a clear safety hazard that ford should be made to correct. blinding lights at night, doors that will not lock or unlock while driving down the road poses a safety risk for children operating doors as well as the adult occupants. not to mention the security risk when driving through a questionable area and the doors will not lock. the constant distraction for the driver and occupants anytime you take your foot off the brake from the audible alert telling you to place the car in park and close the door. this is a serious issue that appears will not be corrected until enough people die. it has been a known issue for years and still no recall. all at the risk of the victims that bought these cars from ford. why should the owners of the vehicles be forced to pay ford to repair these defective components every 6-12 months. why should the public be exposed to the risk of crashes from the distraction and people having to repeatedly slam their doors while driving down the road to try and satisfy the defective switches? the nhtsa needs to force ford to develop a permanent fix for this issue before kids fall out of a moving vehicle.

A warning panel declaring that the driver's side door is ajar comes up when the door is not ajar whether we are driving or stationary. also, another panel directs me to put the vehicle in park when accelerating from a stop. when the door is ajar the interior lights come on which is dangerous at night because it diminishes visibility. it is a safety defect.

Door ajar light stays on running interior lights causing battery usage even when door is closed. trying to open and close door while driving to eliminate door ajar could cause accident. ford needs to recall on this issue and fix.

My 2013 ford edge keeps telling me my drivers side door is ajar, it keeps beeping when i am driving, the doors will not lock and the interior lights stay on. the interior lights stay on when i try and lock the car when i arrive home and they don't go off and drain the battery. i only have 25,900 miles on my car and i feel that this is a safety issue and should be a recall.

Door won't stay locked when car is in motion. i have small children and the doors won't lock when i'm driving. door alarm keeps going off, showing that door isn't latched properly.

When putting vehicle in park and shutting off vehicle yellow warning light in dash appears "shift to park" accompanied with a warning noise

Door ajar warning will not shut off. drivers door.

Driver door sensor will randomly say that the driver door is ajar. it also automatically turns the dome lights on as part of the alert which is in turn burning up my battery. i am unable to lock the vehicle when the sensor is malfunctioning which causes safety issue by leaving my vehicle unlocked. this is a major issue.

Drivers door ajar light remains on even after door is closed. when driving and slowing down to a stop car beeps and indicates to "put in park". when car is in park, engine off, key removed and door closed the interior light stays on and does not go off. this began in september 2017 and continues to this day 1/17/18.

1. the 'door ajar' sensor is telling the car that the door is always open. as a result, the interior lights stay on all the time, which causes visibility issues while driving at night. it also leaves the lights on even after the engine is turned off and doors are locked, which drains the battery, and has caused my wife to be stranded a couple of times. we replaced the switch and a year later, we are having the same problem again. our daughter often drives the car to college at night and has been stranded at least twice after getting out of class at 10 pm. this problem has gone beyond a nuisance and is now a safety issue. when i called ford dealer to complain again, they told me they can fix it, by replacing the switch assembly on the door lock, for $400. so far, this sensor has been replaced twice in 4 years and it looks like it will need to be replaced again. 2. over the last few weeks, the light for "shift to park" come on randomly. most often, it is when my wife is stopped at the light. the moment she takes her feet off the break, the light comes on and stays on until she steps on the gas and the car starts to move. we took the car to the dealer and they were not able to find any problems. right after leaving the dealership, at the stop light, the light came back on again. we took the car back to the dealership and they said if we wanted them to look at it, they will have to charge us another $140 for the tests. either the dealership service people don't know what they are doing or they have a good scam going. they charge people and tell them there was nothing wrong with the car, and have them bring it back again for another charge.

You can be driving and the door ajar light will come on which turns the interior lights on making driving at night very difficult due to the unexpected lighting that reduces visibility greatly at an instance. also it may take several attempts closing the door to get the door ajar light to go out causing one to wonder if the door is truly closed or not.

Door ajar will not go off, because if this the doors do not lock, inter lights will not go off.heats up inter light area, drains battery.

Door ajar message consistently on, issue us in latch causing consistent message and dome lights on.

Driver side door ajar detection is faulting. when the door is closed often times the door is detected as open, the alarm keeps going. result: i can't lock the doors and the constant alarms are very distracting and annoying.
