After closing the driver side door, the door ajar light comes on. The doors used to automatically lock as you put it in reverse/drive if all of the doors are closed properly, but the driver side door sensor tells the car door is ajar. This not only annoying to see the pop up, the interior lights stay on which is also a safety issue. Ford has received many complaints on this issue but is refusing to do a recall.
Door ajar comes on while the door is closed and you have the open and close the door more than 50 times for it to go off......Ford needs to redesign or replace sensors/ door lock mech. Especially not even being 2,000 miles after replacement and from what I've read online with other Ford Edge owners and other Ford vechical owners this is a very common problem
The door sensor on front driver's side door does not work properly. I have to shut the door very hard several times before it says the door is closed. This can leave the interior lights running after the car is turned off and can cause problems with the door locking properly.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. While parked, the front passenger side door sensor light illuminated and chimed in the vehicle. The failure prevented the doors from locking manually and electronically. The failure previously occurred on the front driver side door too. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000. Updated 05/10/16
The door ajar warning message (always indicating the driver side door) comes on even when the door is closed. I have to shut the door hard several times to get the warning message or door ajar removed. Now there have been instances when I am driving and the drivers side door ajar warning appears. The warning messages also say shift to park when the door ajar warning message appears.

The driver door ajar light remains on after door is shut. The dome lights remain on. Shift to park warning comes on. This happens when driving as well. The alarm will not activate. I have to try several times to close the door on order for it to go off.
The front driver door sensor will not go off no matter how many times you open and re-close the door. This causes the following to occur: 1) when driving the car, the doors will not lock, which is a major safety issue for those with children 2) when leaving the car, the door is not recognized as closed so the interior dome light and side-view mirror lights all remain on. This drains the battery while the car sits idle.
My Ford Edge 2013 is not turning off the overhead lights when I close the driver side door and when driving I get a warning stating that the door is ajar.sometimes after slamming the driver door two to three times it goes away.it has become quiet annoying and dangerous when I drive since it becomes a constant distraction.I have gone to the dealer and they state that either the sensor or the latch have become faulty..really?...I think its about time for Ford to do a recall and correct this issue since I have talked to other Ford owners with the same exact issue in there offices.
Door ajar light comes on after shutting the drivers door, doors will not lock, interior lights stay on, when you stop it tells you to put in park. It can happen any time, and stop at any time.

The drivers door is showing open on the instrument panel even when closed. There is also and audible alarm warning that the door is not closed. The door lock feature will not engage when the vehicle is in motion. I am unsure if the door is safely latched at all

Door ajar sensor stays on as if door is open. Dome light stays on and car will not lock properly. Whether I am in motion parked or just idle the door ajar signal stays on and I have to open and close the door 2-10 time every time. Also, my back up camera is functional but the picture won't come up on the screen.
The driver door ajar alarm comes on when the door is securely closed. The interior lights will not go off which can be a driving hazard and will also drain the battery. The doors will not lock. This problem first occurred at about 47,000 miles and I took the car to the dealer in June 2015. I have an extended warranty, so I had to pay $107 deductible for them to clean the switch. The problem has occurred again in March 2016.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. While parked, the door ajar warning light for the front driver side door illuminated when the door was properly closed. The failure occurred constantly. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000.
Door ajar light goes on. Have taken the car in several times for the same thing still not fixed. This weekend soon after I bought the car I do not remember the date they will have it at the mechanic I'm sure or somewhere in my file folders
When starting car I get message: Drivers door ajar-the door is securely latched, overhead lights come on and stay on, locks will not engage when message is on. Warning stays on while driving. Multiple complaints online with owners that are experiencing the same problem.
Driver's door ajar warning keeps coming on. It would go away after a few attempts, or some cleaner sprayed into the locking mechanism area. But now, it's warning at all times. Dome lights stay on, warning chimes when the car isn't moving quickly, and car doors won't lock B/C it thinks the door is ajar. I think that and having lights on when you're reversing at night are the two biggest safety issues. The other issues are just annoying and likely wearing out battery power with the lights staying on. I've read that some other Ford and Lincoln models have had recalls on this locking mechanism so hoping that the Edge gets the same treatment. Seems like a silly issue for a 2013 car with 37K miles on it.
