[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.

AFTER TURNING CAR OFF SOMETIMES CAN'T LOCK TO VEHICLE AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON. DOOR HAS TO BE OPENED AND CLOSED IN THE PARK POSITION SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE ALERT GOES AWAY. CONSTANTLY CHECK THE DOOR AND IT IS INDEED CLOSED BUT ALERT IS STILL THERE. *TR

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.

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.

WHEN DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED, THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT IS STILL ON THE DISPLAY. YOU CAN SLAM THE DOOR HARD SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WILL GO OFF. MANY TIMES, IT REAPPEARS AFTER YOU BEGIN DRIVING. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD TO MY FAMILY BECAUSE MY WIFE IS NOT ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN INSIDE THE CAR. (THE "DOOR AJAR" WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO BE LOCKED). *TR

THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR LATCH IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT FAILS TO CLOSE. *TR

THE "DOOR AJAR" SENSOR IS MAKING A FALSE READING THAT CONSTANTLY SAYS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IN FACT IT IS NOT. DUE TO THE CAR "THINKING" THE DOOR IS OPEN, YOU CAN NOT LOCK THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING. A CHILD FALLING OUT OF AN UNLOCKED DOOR OR A CAR JACKING BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THIS ISSUE WILL SHOW THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY FORD VEHICLES. TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPAIRED COST ANYWHERE FROM $250 TO $400 WHICH IS MOST LIKELY WHY FORD CONTINUES TO LET PEOPLE DRIVE THESE UNSAFE VEHICLES. *TR

MY DRIVE SIDE DOOR DOES NOT SENSE IT IS CLOSED AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON LONGER. PERIODICALLY BECAUSE THE SWITCH IS SAYING THE DOOR IS OPEN, THE DOME LIGHT, HEADLIGHTS AND REAR LIGHTS WILL GO ON WHEN NOBODY IS IN THE CAR. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING KEEPS ON LIGHTING UP. WE HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DRIVERS DOOR UP TO 20 TIMES AND SOMETIMES THE WARNING GOES OFF AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. IT IS VERY ANNOYING BECAUSE IF IT DOESN'T TURN OFF THERE IS A BEEPING SOUND GOING ON WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING ASKING YOU TO PULL ASIDE AND CLOSE THE DOOR AGAIN. IT ALSO AFFECTS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WONT TURN OFF AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE DRIVING, SPECIALLY IF IT'S ON REVERSE, OR WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND PUT THE ALARM ON, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS KEEP ON AND AM AFRAID IT WILL AFFECT MY BATTERY IN THE LONG RUN. WE TOOK IT TO SERVICE AT THE DEALER BUT THERE IS NO RECALL YET AND IT COSTS AROUND $418 TO FIX. I THINK IT'S A MANUFACTURE THING AND FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FIX. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT/WARNING APPEARS EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS ALL DOORS FROM LOCKING. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE WARNING IS NOT ON BUT AFTER A PASSENGER CLOSES THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING TURNS ONS. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SERVICED ONCE BY FORD BUT IT IS NOT HAPPENING AGAIN. FORD ISSUES A SERVICE BULLETIN BUT THAT APPEARS TO BE ONLY A STOP GAP MEASURE SINCE THE PROBLEM RECURS. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATES THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED TIGHT. IF YOU SLAM THE DOOR HARD, THE WARNING CLEARS SOMETIMES BUT MAY COME BACK ON WITHOUT THE DOOR BEING OPENED. THIS IS A POOR ALARM SYSTEM DESIGN. FORD SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DESIGN AND ISSUE A RECALL. THE ORIGINAL LATCH WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT ABOUT 30K MILES. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE SENSOR NOT READING THAT MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS LATCHED. TODAY, IT IS CONSTANT AND WILL NOT EVEN ALLOW ME TO LOCK THE DOORS! I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO "LATCH" AND CLEARLY THE DOOR IS CLOSED, BUT THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING IS STILL ILLUMINATED. *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT HAVE TO SLAM DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES. HAD TO GO GET A REPLACEMENT DOOR PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED, THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE CHIME SOUNDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,500.

THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BEING AJAR WILL NOT GO OFF. THE DOOR IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT OPEN, YET THE INDICATOR DOES NOT REGISTER THE DOOR AS BEING CLOSED NO MATTER WHAT WE DO. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE W/FORD EDGE DOOR LATCHES. *TR
