Adaptive Equipment Problems of Ford Edge

Door ajar warning comes on when the door is shut due to faulty sensor in drivers side front door. Interior lights stay on causing a hazard to driver at night.

The door latch light stays on durning drive time, it prevents locked doors and light on mirrors and interior light stay on. I have read there is multiple Ford Edge drivers with same saftety issue. This needs to be resolved its very dangerouse driving hazard it prevents door from locking during high speeds.

Driver's side door sensor indicates door ajar, preventing other functions of the vehicle from operating normally, such as dome light turning off while driving and after locking doors, doors will not remain locked while driving and other related functions. Issues causes a drain on the battery until it eventually loses charge, leaving driver stranded. Door ajar indicator remains on the entire time during operation of the vehicle.

<<I purchased this car on 3/31/15, so this may have been occurring prior to purchase, but this is the first time it happened to me. >> when closing the driver's door, I get a "door ajar" message, even though the door is fully shut. I can get the message to go off if I slam the door repeatedly, but sometimes it takes two or three slams to get it to go off. This can be a serious safety issue when I'm not able to get the message to go off. If it occurs at night, I have to drive with the interior lights in the car on. I'm also concerned about the driver's air bags being able to deploy in an accident, if the sensor thinks the door is open. This problem really warrants a recall to address this issue.

My wife was going home and traveling approximately 45 mph. The collision avoidence lights started flashing and the brakes locked up. There were no vehicles in front of me, but she was almost rear ended from the traffic behind. The vehicle never came to a complete stop. We have had the system go off before but not to this extent. The dealer has had no complaints and cannot do anything unless the vehicle acts up.

The driver door latch is defective thus failing to notify the sensor that the door is actually closed. The door, although closed, registers open. The door ajar warning sounds on the dash board, dome lights stay on and doors do not lock. I am concerned that the defective latch may affect airbag deployment because the doors intermittently fail to lock. I began searching Ford forums only to find that this is an issue for many Ford owners. I contacted Ford motor corporation only to be informed that they knew nothing of this issue. It would be appropriate for Ford to acknowledge this issue, repair the faulty part at their expense, and continue to follow industry standards best practices.

The rear driver's side door has a bad sensor. It does not recognize the door as being closed unless the door is opened/closed numerous times, sometimes it will not ever recognize the closure.

The door ajar light on the dash, while the door is closed, for the drivers side rear door will not shut off. The automatic locks will not engage and the dome lights and various parking lights on the vehicle turn off and on at all hours of the day and night while car is parked taxing the battery. I ended up having to buy a new battery over time.

The door ajar switch does not work. What this has done to the vehicle is the interior lights stay on in the car well after it has been turned off. The vehicle also will not turn the interior light off when running unless you are in drive and move forward. The danger is in reversing at night. The lights do not go out whatsoever in reverse and makes it very difficult to see at night when in reverse. We have almost hit a person, a car and a few poles with this lighting staying on. Not only does it pose a threat for a crash or hitting other vehicles it also kills the battery in the vehicle. This should not be an issue in a vehicle this new. Please do something about this the lighting that stays on will get someone hurt because the driver cannot see where they are reversing to inthe dark.

On 9-27-14, using adaptive cruise control on straight, 4-lane divided highway with no traffic in lane ahead or behind. Vehicle's brakes suddenly activated dropping speed from 74 to 50 mph. Taken to dealership 10-7-14 and issue could not be duplicated. Happened again on 11-11-14 with same roadway & traffic conditions, this time 55 to 50 mph drop. Taken to dealer on 11-20-14 and again no issues were detected with the vehicle. Contacted Ford customer service who said to take it back again to generate a "hot line" complaint for an engineer to look at the vehicle. Took vehicle back 12-3-14 and left it so they could drive it for a few days and try to duplicate the issue (they supplied a rental). Called after 2 days and said an engineer "happened to be there looking at another vehicle so they looked at mine". No issue found, but they did a reset of the system. The entire time they had the vehicle, it was driven a total 6 (six) miles. Also, adaptive cruise is set as a default and cannot be changed. If you turn the "adaptive" feature off, it goes back when you start the vehicle again.

Door ajar sensor appeared, took vehicle back to dealer, replaced door latch and door ajar icon disappeared. Automatic door latches are working properly; however, one week later, as I was driving a wrench icon appeared and my car lost power. Imagine the danger involved in driving and loosing power. Called the dealer, left the car again for another repair session. It is my understanding that the door ajar sensor has been very problematic for the Ford Edge model and there has not been a recall. Add my complaint to the list of many and hopefully something will be done for the consumer. I am disappointed because the vehicle still smells new and only has 40,200 miles on it but is already having problems. Acronym for Ford=fix or repair daily, and I sure hope not! Ford has another acronym, but I will not post it at this time. Trying to remain patient, but diligent.

I have a 2013 Ford Edge se with driver door issue of not locking even if door is shut. Door chime comes on letting me know that the door is not shut even though it is. If the door is not registering with the module saying it is shut what impact with this have on the air bags going off when needed.

Driver door switch not letting module know the door is closed. Door would have to be opened and closed multiple time before module or switch would pick it up. What affect will this have on the air bags if I need them?.

I have a 2011 Ford Edge and at 70,000 miles, my door ajar light stays on even though my door is closed. I can't lock my doors while I'm driving which worries me since I have a 5 month old baby. My battery dies because my interior lights stay on due to the door being "ajar". I've also heard that my airbags may not deploy in an accident if my interior lights are on. That's a scary thought! I've been told that the sensor to the latch is just dirty and that it needs to be cleaned off which would cost me $450! then they said that they could just replace it. This is ridiculous! Ford needs to fix this problem! I've always loved Ford, but after owning this vehicle and having this silly issue, I don't think I'll be buying another Ford again!!!.

The alarm comes on for no reason. The front driver panel says the rear left door is open, even after closing it repeatedly, the panel still says the rear left door is open.

"door ajar" warning light intermittently alarms for the driver side door even when the door is not ajar.

The drivers side front door sensor does not work. The door is closed but it still shows on the dash door ajar. This does not let the doors lock while driving. I feel that this is very unsafe while driving also unsafe for my family to drive in certain areas of the city. I don't even know if the airbags will work.

I took my car into the don davidson Ford dealership in arlington texas because it has been breaking weird, smelling funny, shaking hard & losing speed on the freeway(all at once) which it does spastically. The said they can't reproduce the problem so there's nothing wrong & gave it back to me on Friday. I went straight to the mall & it did it again so I took it back immediately. They kept it for a few hours & tried to give it back again, saying that I drove with the ebrake on (which it wasn't). Now I left my car there, they haven't done anything & I'm paying for a rental for the fourth day because I'm afraid to drive my own car. Ford corporate office told me it was my decision to drive it or not & they can't help. On the trip to the mall I heard a loud noise when I braked & now the rotors are messed up too. I don't know what to do, I still owe $34,000 on my 2013 Ford Edge and it has been recalled for brake issues but they won't help.

Driver door ajar warning light remains on when door is securely closed. Overhead dome light remains on and doors will not lock while car is in motion. Safety hazard with inability to have doors locked while car is in motion. Excessive wear on the car battery (recently replaced) with overhead dome lights remaining illuminated for 3 minutes after car is in motion and 10 minutes after while car is turned off. While the issue of the door ajar alarm continues to be on and door latch is defective the car alarm randomly goes off without door manipulation. Car alarm has gone off up to 3 times in a day and occurs 4-5 days per week causing disruption in the neighborhood. Many complaints have been posted online regarding this issue of a defective door latch that warrants a recall on Ford's behalf due to potential safety concerns. Children could open the door of the backseat while the car is in motion due to the inability to lock the doors.

Door ajar sensor has failed causing the door ajar warning to stay on, dome lites and parking lites stay on as well after parking. Doors will not lock when driving, causing a huge safety concern for myself and passengers.

Get in, close door, start Ford Edge,. . . Drivers door ajar lights, warns, chimes and flashes put in park, drivers door open!! instantly unlocks _a_l_l_ doors and lights all interior up thus removing all safety of locked doors from unlawful and unsafe intrusion of others!!!! will not cancel or turn off. Furthermore entire time using Edge for reliable transportation is rendered useless----- while doors stay unlocked, can be open anytime! Ford motor company should do something quick before a horrible incident happens starting a flood of lawsuits for endangering the owners of Ford Edges!!.

The door ajar light has been coming off and on even when the door is shut. Sometimes 5-10 closings will shut the door ajar light off. Most of the time my door ajar light stays on. Which keeps my interior lights on at nighttime. Also not sure my car locks completely as the car honks twice quickly when I try to lock using the wireless locking device. Very frustrating, and for the money they charge for Ford cars, don't think this should be a problem. Have searched the internet and found out this is a common problem that can cost up to $300 at dealerships to fix, and cheapest I have found is $85. 00 to buy part from Ford and try to fix it myself.
