2013 Ford Edge Electrical System

DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR FAILING. EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED AND LOCKED, THE DASH REPORTS THE DOOR IS AJAR. CAUSES DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON, CHIMES TO SOUND, AND DRAINS BATTERY. CLEANING AND OILING WITH SILICON SPRAY HELPS SOME, BUT IS A TEMPORARY FIX AT BEST. FORD DEALER WANTS OVER $600 TO REPLACE LATCH ASSEMBLY. *TR

AFTER ENTERING VEHICLE AND SECURELY CLOSING DRIVER DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR INDICATES THE DOOR IS NOT LATCHED. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES USUALLY WILL EVENTUALLY RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR WILL TRIGGER WHILE DRIVING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TWICE WHEN ROLLING UP THE DRIVER-SIDE WINDOWS AS THE WINDOW JUST REACHES THE CLOSED POSITION. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR BAD. NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU SLAM THE DRIVERS DOOR, THE SENSOR GIVES A DASH WARNING LIGHT THAT DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR COMES ON ANYTIME THE DOOR IS OPEN AND THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION. BEFORE THE ABOVE DATE THE SENSOR WENT OFF AS SOON AS YOU SHUT THE DOOR. NOW IT IS ON ALL THE TIME UNLESS I OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR 5 - 20 TIMES TO GET IT TO GO OFF. IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK THE DOORS WITH IT ON. THE DOME LIGHT WON'T GO OFF AND MANY TIMES I AM FORCED TO DRIVE TO WORK WITH IT STILL ON BECAUSE I CAN'T BE LATE FOR WORK SITTING AT HOME OPENING AND CLOSING MY DOOR OVER AND OVER AGAIN. MY SON HAS A 2011 FORD EDGE AND MY FRIEND HAS A 2006 FORD EDGE ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO GO ON BEFORE SOMEONE MAKES FORD FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR EVERYONE?! *TR

REAR DOOR IS OPEN. LIGHTS STAY ON. PLEASE PUT CAR IN PARK. ENGINE IS ON. ERROR CODES. DOOR IS SHUT AND IT WON'T DISENGAGE ALERT OR READ DOOR IS SHUT WITH OR WITHOUT KEY IN IGNITION. *TR

THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING WITH MY EDGE IS THE RADIO CONTINUE TO PLAY WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND TAKE THE KEYS OUT THE IGNITION AND THE DRIVER DOOR LIGHT STAYS ON I HAVE TO CLOSE THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE LIGHT GOES OFF I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR THE DOOR LIGHT NOW IT HAVE STARTED AGAIN 03/19/2015 I THINK ANOTHER OWNER HAD THE CAR BUT WHEN I GOT THE CAR THEY SAID IT WAS NEW I WORK FOR A CAR COMPANY AND I NEVER KNOWN A CAR COMPANY TO PUT DOOR GUARDS ON A CAR/TRUCK I'M THINKING THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT WHAT I'M DEALING WITH AND TURNED THE CAR BACK IN AND THE CAR COMPANY DID NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT THE RADIO INCIDENT STARTED A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASE THE TRUCK. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR DOES NOT GO OFF WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON, NOT SAFE AT NIGHT, AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCK YOUR DOORS WHILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. NOT TO MENTION THE CONSTANT ANNOYANCE OF THE CHIME GOING OFF. *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

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT/SIGNAL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOES NOT GO OFF DESPITE DOOR BEING CLOSED. *TR

CA. PASSENGER DOOR SAYS AJAR AFTER SHUTTING DOOR. CAN OPEN AND SHUT OVER AND OVER AND SOMETIMES IT WILL GO OFF, OTHER TIMES WILL NOT. CAUSES LIGHTS TO STAY ON WHEN VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND NOT RUNNING. SAFETY CONCERN: THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, LEAVING THE BACK DOORS UNLOCKED WITH SMALL CHILDREN ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE STOPS THE ANNOYING ALERT SENSOR SIGNAL KEEPS GOING OFF. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS, I SEE IT IS VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT CONTINUALLY COME ON, WHICH RESULTS IN A WARNING LIGHT, DOORS WON'T LOCK, CAN SET THE ALARM WHEN PARKED. THE DOOR (DRIVER SIDE DOOR) IS CLEARLY CLOSED. THIS IS THE SECOND FORD EDGE (PREVIOUS WAS A 2011 MODEL) THAT HAS HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CLEARLY A TREND AND A DESIGN FLAW. PREVIOUS SWITCH WENT BAD AT JUST UNDER 40,000 MILES. *JS

DOOR ADJAR SWITCH DOESN'T WORK. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON DRAINING THE BATTERY, CANNOT LOCK DOORS ANYTHING! THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THESE VEHICLES. *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS. LIGHTS STAY ON AND IF YOU LOCK THE DOOR WITH KEY AND WALK AWAY YOU HAVE A DEAD BATTER THEY NEXT DAY. REPEATED SHUTING OF DOOR WILL SOME TIMES WILL RESET DOOR AJAR BUT IT EVENTUALLY FAILS COMPLETELY AND REPEATED SLAMMING OF DOOR DOES NOTHING. PULLED FUSE TO INTERIOR LIGHTS TO KEEP BATTERY FROM DYING.

AROUND THE END OF AUGUST 2015 THE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THE DOOR IS CLOSED BUT THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR CONTINUES TO SHOW THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED. IT APPEARS THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE WITH THE SAME LATCH/SENSOR PROBLEM ON FORD PRODUCTS. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING IN ADDITION TO A SAFETY ISSUE. ARE THERE ANY RECALL NOTICES FROM FORD CONCERNING THIS ISSUE?

DRIVER DOOR SENSOR DOES NOT SENSE THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS THE OVER HEAD DOME LIGHT FROM SHUTTING OFF, WHICH AT NIGHT MAKING IT HARD TO SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE DOOR LOCKS ALSO WILL NOT STAY LOCKED EVEN IF YOU MANUALLY PUSH DOWN THE INDICATOR. THIS ALLOWS MY CHILDREN TO OPEN THE REAR DOORS AS WE DRIVE DOWN THE STREET. I WAS TOLD TWICE NOW THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BROKEN, SO IT ISNT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR A RECALL.

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!

DRIVER SIDE DOOR INDICATOR STAYS ON EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS SHUT. DOME LIGHT WON'T GO OFF AND DOORS WON'T LOCK. BATTERY WENT DEAD. I HAVE TO SLAM DOOR HARD SEVERAL TIMES TO GET INDICATOR AND LIGHT TO TURN OFF AND DOORS TO LOCK. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON REPEATEDLY WHEN DOOR IS CORRECTLY SHUT. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT TYPICALLY HAPPENS DAILY. DUE TO THE FALSE DOOR AJAR WARNING, THE VEHICLE MAY BE DRIVEN WITH THE DOOR AJAR WARNING ON. IF THE DOOR WERE ACTUALLY AJAR, THIS COULD CAUSE A SAFETY RISK. VEHICLE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN DOOR AJAR WARNING IS PRESENT. THIS COULD PRESENT A SAFETY RISK IF DOORS NEED TO BE LOCKED. *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING AND INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON AND DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED ONLY HAVE 41,000 TO OPEN AND CLOSE TOO MANY TIMES FOR IT TO GO OUT AND IF THAT EVEN WORKS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE "DRIVERS DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED SPORADICALLY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLES WARNING CHIMES WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ACTIVATED, THE MAP LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE WOULD STAY LIT, AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK ON THEIR OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,651.

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER DOOR UNLOCKED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

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

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR WENT ON. WHEN THAT GOES ON WHEN BACKING UP YOU CAN'T SEE BECAUSE THE DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT CREATES A GLARE MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHAT IS BEHIND YOU. THE DOME LIGHT WILL FINALLY SHUT OFF WHEN YOU GO FORWARD WHEN A CERTAIN SPEED IS MEET. ALSO WHEN THE DOME LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR IT WILL NOT LOCK THE DOOR. THIS SENSOR ON MY CAR WAS CLEANED ON 7/31/14 BY A FORD DEALER. THIS ONLY LASTED ABOUT SIX MONTH AND I JUST HAD IT THE DOOR LATCH REPLACED ON 1/13/15 BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. RECENTLY I WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE A SNOW STORM IN WHICH IT TOOK ME 2-1/2 HOURS TO GET HOME. MY TYPICAL COMMUTE HOME IS 45 MINUTES. WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC 5:00 PM ON 1/8/15 THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR CAME ON. THE TRAFFIC WAS MOVING SLOW, MY DOME LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR OVER AN HOUR WHICH CREATING A GLARE WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD NEVER SHUT OFF BECAUSE I NEVER REACHED THE FORWARD SPEED FAST ENOUGH TO TURN IT OFF, ALSO EVERY TIME I LET MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK A BELL WOULD SOUND. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS UNTIL FORD ISSUES A RECALL. IT IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGES. I FEEL THAT WITH THE GLARE CAUSED BY THE DOME LIGHT STAYING ON CREATES A HAZARD TO BOTH ME AND MY FAMILY AND FORD SHOULD HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE FOR THIS PROBLEM: THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE TO CLOSE THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I AM DRIVING THE CAR. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FORD DOORS.
