The driver's side door will close, but thinks it is not closed - so the interior and exterior lights stay on and doors will not lock. Driving around in memphis, TN with your doors unlocked is a huge safety hazard - am in grave danger of being carjacked at a stop light. It will not close to lock it at work or in my driveway - and runs down the battery. Opening and closing it sometimes 50 times (usually without success) is annoying and painful. I know my neighbors hate me making so much noise trying to close my door (that seems to really be closed, but some sensor doesn't think so). There are tons of comments across the internet with this problem. Why has it not been recalled? and if it really isn't closing, then we have a whole new issue!.
The door latches used on the 2013 Edge (and other models) contains the sensor that detects the door being closed. In my instance, the issue is with the driver's side door. When the switch does not detect that the door is closed, the dome lights will not turn off until the vehicle achieves a certain speed and the doors cannot be locked while the car is started. At night, the dome lights staying on hinders vision and poses possible injury and damage to any pedestrians or objects that may be in the way of the car with this issue. I have almost hit a tree leaving my driveway since I could not even see the driveway. I fear hitting pedestrians in my neighborhood while on the way to work, since I leave before sunrise. As for the doors not locking while the car is started, this could pose a safety issue to the occupants of the vehicle allowing for access to be easily obtained to the interior in the instance of carjacking, etc.
When I close the drivers door the door ajar light stays on and the door is completely shut. With the interior lights on it is almost impossible to see at night due to the lights shining in my eyes. Also, the doors will not stay locked with the door ajar light on. With the doors not locking I could be carjacked or my granddaughter could be pulled out of the car while sitting at a stop light or intersection. When exiting the vehicle and the door is not recognized to be shut, the interior and outside mirror lights stay on. I've had the vehicle since March and have less that 45000 miles on it. . The problem started shortly after I purchased the vehicle with less that 40000 miles. Ford should be responsible for fixing the problem.
