Body problems of the 2012 Ford Edge - part 2

While driving home from work last week, the drivers door ajar alarm sounded, the interior lights came on and the door locks disengaged. I pulled into a parking lot to re-close the door; which silenced the alarm; but the interior lights stayed on. As I pulled out and got back up to the speed the locks would normally engage, the drivers door alarm sounded again, interior lights remained on and locks never engaged, even when pressing the lock button. Pulled over a 2nd time - with the same result. The third time I pulled off the road, I shut the vehicle off and sat for about 5 minutes. Again, the same plus the shift into park alarm also sounded as soon as I reached speed when the locks should engage. I continued home listening to 2 alarms blare, the interior lights limiting my view and the doors refusing to lock. When I got home, the interior lights stayed on for almost an hour after I got out of the vehicle; it wasn't until I pulled the exterior door handle a couple times that the lights went out. The next morning, my drive to work was uneventful; that evening on my way home, both alarms are going off, interior lights are on and doors will not lock. On the second evening, I noticed the door ajar warning never came on after I started the vehicle until I reached the speed the door locks should have engaged.

The door latch for the driver side door does not latch properly. Majority of the time it will continue to say door ajar no matter how many times you try to reopen and close the door. Can be worrisome not knowing if the door is fully closed. This just randomly started happening.

The driver door latch has a censor that goes out and causes the car door to think it's open when it is actually closed. This is a safety issue as you could be driving down the road with the dome light on. Or not paying attention when it keeps beeping at you while your driving. There are thousands of cases for the car. This needs to be recalled. This is costing owners $500 for a defect in Ford.

Doo ajar signal stays on when door is closed. Prevents driver from knowing of a real door ajar situation. Interior light stays on, creating a night driving hazard and when sitting in car at night.

When I get in my Ford Edge and close my door, it says driver door ajar, have to slam the door 4 or 5 times, and interior light stay on and wont lock either ,faulty latch. Its a safety issue, was stationary, then when I was driving it came on driver door agar.

Driver side door ajar sensor failing. Shows door is ajar when it is not. Light will not go off which drains the battery and it affects the locking system when in drive which is a safety issue. Vehicle is a few years old with less than 45k miles. Do a search on the internet and it is easy to see it is a widespread issue that should be recalled and fixed by Ford. In my opinion this is a byproduct of Ford outsourcing to mexico without proper quality control. Very disappointed that Ford hasn't handled this very common issue that seems to occur around 40k miles according to other owner reports. Because it is expensive for the consumer to fix at the dealership it would appear that Ford would rather profit off of their faulty product than take the hit to make it right. Bad business - will be thinking about this when I go to purchase my next vehicle.

There is an instrument panel alarm that says "driver door ajar" that remains despite repeated opening and closing of the driver's door. We paid almost $600 to have the sensor replaced about a year ago, and now it is doing the same thing. The dealership wants to charge us again to fix it. It is a safety issue. Not only does this alarm cause constant blinking and warning tones when driving, but the interior lights stay on at night for about 1 minute after driving, and I've had the car battery discharge twice when exiting the vehicle and trying to lock up for the night. If you slam the door repeatedly, it sometimes will go off, but there have been many times when I've opened and slammed the drivers door over 10 times, and I just have to live with the alarm, noise, and distraction. It has been an issue - this second time - for about a month.

In April 2016, we started experiencing an issue with the drivers door latch not connecting and our drivers door ajar light staying on. We would manually have to reopen the latch to close the door but this still didn't always make this door ajar light do out. There were times we would have to close the door up to 5 times to get the light to go out and feel that the door was closed. It was worse on a trip at the end of April to florida in which we were unable to get this to happen and couldn't get our interior lights to go out since it was telling us the door was still open. This issue would happen while parked or driving. The light would be out when leaving the driveway and then come on while on the road! we had this checked three times, first two unsuccessful and the third we were told it was a broken door latch and wasn't covered so we had it repaired at the cost of $329. 85! then I hear there are recalls on other Ford models but the Edge was not on the list and it is the exact same issue that is listed and described in the recall of many other Ford vehicles!.

Faulty/failing door latch sensor triggers "door ajar" instrument panel and sound warnings while engine is on, causing doors to unlock, interior lights to come on, and continued sound warnings whenever vehicle accelerates.

Issue was addressed while vehicle was under warranty, but Ford will not address it now under warranty or "goodwill" repair program.

My driver side door ajar light would stay on after closing my door, whether parked or in motion. I would have to close it 5-10, sometimes more times, to get the light to go off. Even if I slammed the door sometimes the light still wouldn't go off, and the warning signal would chime as I drove. I bought the car used from a Honda dealer, and the salesman told me it was likely just a sensor issue, so I ignored it for a month or so before taking it in to a Ford dealership when I thought I could afford to have it repaired. They did diagnostics on it and told me it wasn't just the sensor, that the door was actually open because the latch wasn't closing properly. They told me if I got in a wreck my door could fly open, so I let them repair it. They replaced the entire lock assembly on the driver side. I have attached my invoice for record of the repairs made and the cost.

When I exit the vehicle and the problem occurs, this will prevent the interior lights from going out and it will prevent the security system from arming. This problem is distracting while driving due to the alerts and the interior lighting, especially at night. The issue has also resulted in theft from my vehicle. When the vehicle is off, the dome lights do not go off as the sensor indicates the door is open. While parked outside my house, my vehicle was broken into without the alarm sounding, resulting in theft of personal items including checks, cash, and electronics. The vehicle's battery has also drained overnight to the point of needing a jump start.

Soon after purchasing a used 2012 Edge, the open door light on the dash came on and would not go off. All doors were closed. Also the doors would not lock when the light came on which became a safety hazard particularly when transporting children. Brought it to my mechanic and he said the door latch and light switch was one module and that it had to be replaced to the tune of about $500. Once replaced the problem was solved. Looking online, this is a really common problem. I feel its a defect that should be recalled and replaced!.

Power steering wines and is not responsive in temperatures below 35 degrees. Also the drivers door latch does not work properly warning light says door ajar and dome light stays on.

2012 Ford Edge began having a "door ajar" error. When this happens, you are unable to lock the doors with the keypad. Not being able to lock the vehicle is a major issue. This problem is caused by the failure of a micro switch assembled in the latch mechanism. When this switch fails, the signal to tell the car the door is closed is not sent.

The drivers door ajar light goes on after the door is correctly closed. This problem has gotten worse over the course of a couple of weeks. The light now stays on continuously and when the car slows to a stop a yellow panel light tells the driver to put the car in park. This is very dangerous and must be corrected as soon as possible!.

My 2012 Ford Edge has driver door ajar indicator, closing the door repeatedly does not correct the problem. The car keeps telling me to shift to park. The door switch is a module inside the door.

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.
