Door ajar light comes across the dash and drains battery. Faulty latches on 2 different doors.

- Danville, CA, USA

*false "door ajar" warning light on dash stays on when door is firmly closed* this causes: - interior dome light stays on - unable to lock doors while in vehicle - they keep automatically unlocking (while in any gear or parked) when vehicle is on - doors do lock when vehicle is off, when locking from outside - but interior dome light stays on as an indication seems to occur more frequently during colder temperatures, and takes longer to "catch"/for sensor to finally realize the door really is closed. This has been happening since I bought vehicle (used) 6 months ago, sporadically at first, but now every day, sometimes multiple times a day (possibly because of colder temperatures?).

I own a 2011 Ford Edge SE. In the past few months, after closing the driver side door, the 'door ajar' light remains on. All dome lights remain on. Opening and then closing the door can turn the door ajar light off. This began as an intermittent occurrence in August. Now it occurs every time I enter and exit the vehicle. To eliminate the dashboard warning light, I repeatedly open and close the door until the door ajar warning turns off. This opening and closing can be anywhere between 1 and 15 times before extinguishing the sensor light. Doing a bit of research led me to a faulty door latch sensor. This a very delicate looking switch accessible just behind the door latch. Dealer estimate for repair: $175 for door latch sensor assembly and $300 labor to install, total: $475. Ford must know something is wrong with this design. If I allow the door ajar warning to remain on, then put the car is gear and drive away, the dome light will turn off, and remain off for my entire drive.

Driver door ajar switch malfunctioning. Consistently displaying "driver door ajar" when closed. This causes overhead lights to stay on making it difficult to see at night, also causes issues locking the door when exiting vehicle because it thinks the door is still open. This issue occurs everyday on most door openings/closings.

Door ajar alert comes on while driving (car in motion) - doors unlock, overhead lights turn on. I stop, open/shut door firmly continue driving and receive the same message later in the drive. I have on several recent occasions received this alert while stationary. This is occurring off and on but now has become more common. The door is shut but the alert comes on at a variety of intervals and when in motion the doors unlock and the lights overhead come in which can be dangerous in and distracting. Most recent occurrence 12/3/15

I left my house in the morning on 11/6 and after a short drive the "AWD off" and a "little wrench" light came on and the car lost power and just stopped in the middle of the street since I was trying to go up a hill. Thankfully no one was behind me!! it started to run very rough so I turned it off quickly, waited a few seconds and restarted it. The car then ran ok and got me to work and home again but when my husband took it to run an errand that night, same thing happened to him and then again this morning when I was bringing the car down for service. This was three times in one day! with no warning the car just loses power and stops. Very dangerous!! I'm afraid to drive my car now and I don't want to be on the highway and have this happen - someone is going to get hurt. The dealer cannot duplicate the problem or find a code coming up to reveal the issue.
