THE REAR DRIVER-SIDE DOOR INDICATOR SWITCH HAS BECOME UNRELIABLE. IT NOW INDICATES THE REAR DRIVER-SIDE DOOR IS OPEN A MAJORITY OF THE TIME. BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED, INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT DIM RELIABLY AND THE DOORS NO LONGER LOCK RELIABLY. I DON'T GET THE OPTION TO DO SO UNTIL THE CAR IS WELL UNDER WAY.

MY PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHT/ALARM COMES ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS AFTER SOMEONE GETS IN AND SHUTS THE DOOR. THIS WEEKEND IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT DURING TERRIBLE RAIN...CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON AND NEARLY BLIND THE DRIVER(ME). IT DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN/CLOSED. THIS ALSO KEEPS THE CAR FROM LOCKING CORRECTLY...IT AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKS BECAUSE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. LAST- THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON WHEN YOU EXIT THE VEHICLE WHICH ENDS UP KILLING THE BATTERY. YOU MIGHT THINK IT IS OK- BUT IT JUST DECIDES TO TRIGGER THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR AND LIGHTS ARE ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, AFTER I THOUGHT IT WAS LOCKED UP AND SECURE FOR THE NIGHT. IT ALSO MAKES ME WONDER IF THE DOOR LATCH IS NOT WORKING AND THE PASSENGER MAY BE AT RISK OF FALLING OUT OF THE CAR. FORD WANTS 450.00 TO FIX A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT IS WIDELY COMPLAINED ABOUT AND SHOULD BE REMEDIED WITHOUT COST TO CONSUMER. *TR
DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED/LATCHED. THAT DOES NOT ALLOW TO LOCK THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY (AFTER THE SPEED IS MORE THAN 5 MPH) OR EVEN MANUALLY SINCE THEY UNLOCK IMMEDIATELY. THAT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. ALSO, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL YOU DRIVE, BLINDING YOU AND THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE AT…

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED/LATCHED. THAT DOES NOT ALLOW TO LOCK THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY (AFTER THE SPEED IS MORE THAN 5 MPH) OR EVEN MANUALLY SINCE THEY UNLOCK IMMEDIATELY. THAT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. ALSO, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL YOU DRIVE, BLINDING YOU AND THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT.
DOOR SENSOR INDICATES DOOR OPEN EVEN WHEN MANUAL CLOSURE OF THE LATCH MECHANISM. HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE DEAD BATTERIES AND MAKES VEHICLE UNRELIABLE. FORD DENIES EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE BECAUSE THEY CLAIM ITS A "KNOWN MANUFACTURES DEFECT"
DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE DOOR CLOSES TO A "THUMP" AS THE DOOR LATCH WILL NOT LATCH TO THE BODY. I WOULD HAVE TO REACH INTO THE LATCH, WHILE HOLDING THE DOOR HANDLE OPEN, TO PUSH IT UP TO GET THE DOOR TO LATCH.
EDGE HAS DOOR AJAR LIGHT ISSUE THAT IS CAUSE BY FAULTY DOOR LATCHES. DOOR SENSOR INCORRECTLY READS DOOR(S) AS BEING OPEN THAT CAUSES BATTERY TO DRAIN AND DISCHARGE. INTERIOR LIGHTING COMES ON WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING THAT MAY CAUSE DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. ISSUE OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHILE STATIONAR…

THE DRIVER DOOR SENSOR IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION REMAINS ON ONCE THE DOOR IS CLOSED, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. I ALSO CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS. I END UP DRIVING WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHT ON BECAUSE IT WILL NOT GO OUT. AT NIGHT TIME, THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS, NOT TO MENTION IT DRAINS THE BATTERY BY STAYING ON WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN. WHEN I EXIT THE CAR AND SHUT THE DOOR, IT TAKES ME UP TO FIVE MINUTES SOMETIMES TO OPEN AND RE-SHUT THE DOOR TO EVENTUALLY GET THE SENSOR TO REGISTER AND THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. IT'S RIDICULOUS AND FRUSTRATING. I HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE WILL LEAD TO A RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. MY CAR JUST HIT 62K MILES. I SAW OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AT THE SAME MILEAGE.

1PE16012 · Door Ajar Warning Light Always On
Opened Sep 28, 2016 · Closed Mar 20, 2017
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Interior Lighting; Latches/locks/linkages; Latches/locks/linkages:doors:latch
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this investigation on September 28, 2016 based on allegations that the door ajar light located on the instrument cluster stays on all of the time even when all doors are closed and fully latched on 2011-2013 model year Ford Edge vehicles.When the light is illuminated continuously, vehicle occupants cannot be certain if any of the doors are properly latched.Reported safety consequences as a result of this issue include doors opening while driving (because doors were initially not latched properly), doors cannot be locked while driving, and the interior dome lights staying on continuously. Ford data received from the Information Request letter corresponding to this investigation indicates the failures were caused by contamination of the electrical contacts on the switch located within each door latch that tells the vehicle if the door is open or closed.All four doors contain the same latch design and switch.According to Ford, the Body Control Module (BCM) monitors the position of the switch and continuously samples it to detect a state of change.After a closed door state is detected, a continuous wetting current designed to keep the electrical contacts clean is sent from the BCM to the switches as long as the BCM is active.Beginning with the 2011 model year Edge vehicles, a change in BCM strategy resulted in a reduction of the wetting current sent out to clean the switch contacts by more than 75%.Over time, this low level of current is not sufficient to keep the switch contacts clean and contamination build up causes them to fail as described above.During the course of this investigation, ODI has identified a total of 1,983 complaints related to the door ajar light.Of these complaints, 14 indicated that a door opened while driving.Twelve of the 14 door opening events were situations where an occupant of the vehicle (often a child) opened a passenger door because the doors were not locked.The remaining two complaints involved a door opening on its own because the driver was unaware that the door was unlatched.There were no accidents but one complainant reported that a shoulder injury was caused by the driver having to repeatedly slam the door in an effort to get the door ajar light to turn off.After reviewing all available data, an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety has not been identified.The door latches themselves continue to function properly, remaining securely latched until acted upon by a driver or passenger.Child safety locks on the rear doors continue to function properly and can be used to prevent the rear doors from opening via the inside door handles.Vehicle crashworthiness is not affected by the lock condition of the doors and all active safety systems continue to function normally even if the vehicle BCM believes one or more doors is open.In addition, no accidents or accident related injuries have been reported.A safety-related defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, the investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will monitor the issue and reserves the right to take future action if warranted by the circumstances.ODI numbers for the reports cited above are shown in the attached document.
