CarComplaints.com Notes: A frustrating electrical issue is causing an ever-present “door ajar” warning light for 2011-2013 Ford Edge owners. Even with the doors latched shut, faulty sensors convince the vehicle’s computer they aren’t. With no way to override the system, owners have no choice but to stare at the warning light, listen to the warning chimes when the car is stopped, and deal with interior lights that won’t shut off.

There are problems with the ABS light stays on after driving or making a turn. The electronic stability controls when turning disable and only go off when the car is turned off. The transmission light stays illuminated and the doors do not close properly leaving the interior lights on running down my battery.

My braking system is malfunctioning while driving. It first appeared when the brake booster went bad on or around 2/6/2020 which I was never notified of by Ford as being a known problem so I had it replaced. Immediately after replacing that part on 2/9/2020 the brakes began to engage and stay engage while driving without depressing the brake pedal. This happened twice and the brakes would disengage once the vehicle was off for hours. Now on my way to the dealer 2/19/2020 my brakes were unresponsive and the brake pedal was soft and went all the way to the floor barely stopping the vehicle. This issue I was told by the dealer was due to my hydraulic control module going bad. Seem coincidental that this coincided with the booster going bad and no recall or extended warranty being offered for the known issue as I have read 100S of complaints of the same nature online. This is a tragedy waiting to happen and Ford doesn't seem to care.

The front passenger door ajar light randomly comes on and stays on which keeps on the interior lights. Causing passengers to feel U safe as nd making it dangerous to drive at night and nearly impossible to back up. The parking lights come on and off a out of nowhere draining the battery which leaves it dead.

I purchased the vehicle from legacy of Toyota in tallahassee fl on 10/23/2019 then 2 weeks later my advance trac light came on it will come on as soon as start my engine up and it will stay on for a while then go out, then it will come back on may be a couple days later. I have noticed something different when I am a red light while my foot is on the brakes I feel my foot coming up like it is being released and I have to push it back down. I have only had my vehicle for 35 days. I'm looking all the complaints on the internet with them same issues as mine and kind of scared to drive it. My mind concern not only is it safe but how much it is going to cost me and can be fixable. Sometimes when I am just sitting there it sounds like it just want to cut off because it jerks. But my major concern is that advance trac warning sign that comes up can you help me.

Passenger door ajar is on. The door is close. The light will not go off, and the dome lights stay on, until you drive for one minute, the dome lights go off, but door ajar stays on. My doors can't lock, when I'm driving, as long as the door ajar stays on. When I turn my car off, the dome lights stay on for 15 minutes, putting my battery in reserve. This is a safety hazard, because, small children in the back, could open the door, and also my battery will soon be going bad. I see a thousand of Ford Edge owners 2011-2015 have this same problem.

The door ajar light intermittently stays on even when all doors are closed. The light stays illuminated while driving or stationary. It is now causing the car alarm to go off randomly at all hours. This is a safety concern to as the automatic door locking when putting the car in drives does not activate. I have read years of complaints on the Ford owner forums. It's time for Ford to issue a recall to fix the problem. It's obviously the door latch switch which costs $400 to have replaced. Please help. My neighbors are very upset about being woken up at all hours, but I do not have $400 to have the issues fixed. This has been happening on and off for over 2 years, ever since the odometer read over 50,000 miles.

The aws light stays on and says the driver stability controls are not working properly. Took it to a Ford dealership for servicing, charged 800 plus and the issue is still occurring. They claim it's a sensor issue but it's still happening! if I turn left or right the warning light comes on, if it's wet or dry the light comes on and when breaking the SUV slides. Will never purchase another Ford again. Not sure of the actual date the issue started happening.

I have received faulty error messages on the vehicle, for example the other day I was driving down the road and the light came on like the car was overheated however there was no smoke coming from the car and the temperature gauge never moved up. My passenger car door light sensor says that there is a door ajar when all doors are closed whether the vehicle is stationary or driving along the city street. When I open the front passenger door and close it sometimes the inside lights remain on in the vehicle.

I took a left turn to get onto the interstate on 7/30/18 at 7:45 am. When I started to accelerate to merge onto interstate without warning my car stalled and I was not able to accelerate. I was able to pull over thankfully and turn my emergency lights on. My car started to "jump" and was basically stalling out. I turned the car off and then after 5 minutes I was able to turn the car back on and it ran fine. I brought the car to my local Ford dealership and they kept it for two days. They tried to recreate the issue but were unable to and said they could not read the error on the computer because it had been "wiped" out when I restarted my car. They told me to come back when the car stalls again. I feel very unsafe driving a car that can stall out and lose power at any minute. I drive a 24 mile bridge with no shoulders daily and interstates. I do not feel safe driving my son around in this car. Ford will not do anything for me until the car stalls again. They told me not to turn it off and "limp" it to the dealership(drive it slowly).

The morning of 4-3-2018 I went out and started my car. As I backed out of the garage the "door ajar" warning light came on. While driving I noticed the door latches did not lock. When I depressed the door lock button the latches closed then popped right back open, leaving all doors in an unsafe condition, unlocked. When the ignition switch is turned off the radio shuts immediately and dome lights remain on. I sprayed WD40 in the latching mechanism which did no good. This unsafe condition still exists.

Door ajar warning light stays on while vehicle is running, making it impossible to lock doors while driving or stopped in traffic. When vehicle is parked, interior land exterior lights will turn on without reason. This causes the battery to drain frequently. If doors are locked while vehicle is parked, the car alarm will go off frequently.
