This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Driver door ajar sensor does not recognize that door is closed. This prevents all doors from being in the locked position while operating the vehicle. Manually locking the doors is overridden by the system and automatically unlocked. Annoying alarm always going off while driving or idle. Not known if sensor malfunction or door not actually closed properly. Should be recalled for repair.
The driver side door says that it is ajar when it isnt. So annoying. The dealership said it will be 250 dollars to fix. Wtf? I have only had the car for 2 days.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated the driver's side door warning light illuminated although the door was not open. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.
The driver door almost always reports that it is ajar despite the fact that it is closed. It will occasionally stop reporting the problem if I repeatedly open and close the door. This prevents the doors from locking while the vehicle is in motion and causes the interior lights to remain on in the vehicle when parked for about 10 minutes. The alert will also chime every time I start from a complete stop which is very distracting.

While driving, at various speeds, the drivers side door warning comes up on the dash and a bell will ring saying that the door is ajar. Sometimes it says to put car in park. I open and close the door and it fixes the problem temporarily, only to happen again. Happening more and more frequently.
Door ajar warning system fails repeatedly causing auto door locks to unlock all doors repeatedly - this is apparently a problem with Ford Edge since 2006 or before - door locking system failure represents a real consumer hazard.
The driver's door and right rear door sensors intermittently have a "door ajar" warning, though each door is completely shut. The sensor is inside the latch, and has a very high failure rate, based on cursory internet research. The warning can occur while driving, it alerts the driver to put the car in park. Ford categorizes the door ajar warning under 'safety' in its extended warranty plans, so I would conclude that not knowing whether the door is actually ajar or not is, in fact, a safety issue.
Internal electrical failure in the left front door latch with integral switch that sends a false door ajar signal to the dashboard instruments and audible alarm system. Begins as an intermittent issue then in a few days becomes constant. Annoying at the least. Distracting at the worst, especially for less experienced drivers. My repair was out of any warranty due to mileage.
