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.

Add another complaint about the soft pedal issue. Local Ford Dealer in El Paso diagnosed the problem as a defective Master Cylinder and ABS HCU module and wants $2,176.12 to replace both. Seems strange that two mechanical parts would both fail at the exact same time. Problem occurred at slow speed going over a speed bump. Local mechanic estimates much lower cost, yet undetermined. Other brake issues with this vehicle in the past. Will repair this one and then start looking for a replacement for it, but not a Ford.
Update from Jul 21, 2020: A local repair shop followed the Ford recommendation to replace the master cylinder; however, that did not correct the problem. The shop removed the new MC and reinstalled the original, then they manually bled the system and then used a computer assisted bleeding system which corrected the problem, all for the total cost of $100.00. Will not rely on the Ford dealer in the future. We changing cars and going with a Subaru most likely.
