Driver's side door open light keeps coming on. Shift to park light keeps coming on. Lights come on while you are driving or just parked. Interior lights don't go out when they should. Inside lights go on when the car is just parked for no reason. Sometimes will stay on for up to a half an hour
"takata recall" driver side door adjar sensor remains on all the time even though the door is closed securely. This causes the vehicle not be secured properly and causes alerts to sound while driving.
2013 Edge drivers door alarm remains on even after closure, the interior lights remain on and the doors do not lock. I'm lucky if after the 6-7th door slam the light may go out, otherwise I have to drive around with the alarm continuously on. Now a shift into park light is also coming on. Used to love my Edge, but slowly thinking divorce.
When you close the driver side door the instrument panel gives a false warning saying the door is ajar and the dome light stays on. This happens when the car is stationary. After several attempts of opening and closing the door the warning disappears, but then while the car is moving the warning returns and the dome light comes back on and the doors unlock. This seems to be a pretty common problem and my car currently has 48,000 miles on it. This warning issue has been going on for about 1 month.

Door ajar sensor switch is malfunctioning and cannot sense when door is closed. Doors will not lock properly or automatically because switch is malfunctioning. This is occurring both while the car is parked and in motion. Sometimes while driving the door ajar light will come on randomly. As I often have a child in the car, I am concerned about the inability for the car to detect when the door is closed and when it is not and the related locking of the doors.
Driver door ajar light comes at various times while driving even though the door is closed. This causes the interior lights to come on and remain on. This makes it very difficult and dangerous to drive this vehicle at night. This is an obvious safety related issue and Ford should fix it through a recall.
Driver side door ajar warning light and alarm go off even when door is securely shut. Car is currently under 36,000 miles but just a few weeks over the 3 year mark. Diehl Ford in bellingham, wa will not attempt to honor the warranty.

The "door adjar" light and warning sounds come on our Ford Edge when the vehicle is started and it tells us to shift the gear shifter into park. None of the doors are open. This has become a problem every time the vehicle is used.
Center dash display -- several trips to the dealer with adjustment to the gear shift lever has not corrected the problem. The dealers says that the gear shift parking contact is not signaling the dash display. If the car is left for several days, the display problem creates a dead battery. This condition exists when the ignition is off, keys are removed, all doors are shut and the vehicle is in park. This issue has existed from 2014 through Feb. 2, 2016 and is ongoing.
Upon starting the engine, we have had sporadic driver's door ajar indications with dash alarm & interior lighting affected. This has plagued us from 2500 miles to the present (February 2016 @ 36,000 miles). First incident occurred shortly after purchase of vehicle on April 1, 2013. Several trips to the dealer w/door adjustments & "burning of the contacts" has not solved the intermittent problem that comes back sometimes for several days at a time. We always check the door to make sure that it is shut & continue to drive the car w/warning and interior lights on. At night this issue creates an unsafe driving condition. I feel this is a recall issue because of the safety nature of this problem. The dealer has been very elusive, not supplying paperwork concerning this issue. Maybe Ford is playing Dodge ball on this, but they are only making enemies of their customers.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that after the front driver's side door was closed, the door ajar warning indicator illuminated continuously. In addition, the interior dome light remained illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.
Ford Edge 2013 door ajar light stays on dashboard..and inside car lights stay on it makes it really hard to drive at night !! I talk to other friends that own same type of car and have same problem....while im driving it keeps telling to park and close the door even dough its close its frustating..I only had my car for a fe months only and im stressing out...
The door ajar warning light comes on after the door is closed on the driver's side- the interior lights stay on- car is stationary, but lights stay on if you drive
My driver side door ajar warning will not go off. The door is completely closed. This is causing the interior lights to stay on, the alarm chimes everytime I stop and the doors will not lock. If the car is parked it is causing the battery to drain. This issue began a couple of weeks ago intermittently but is now constantry happening.
While driving at speed, vehicle started to sputter and lost power, lost all function and had to pull over on the side of the road. Engine sputtered badly, with the wrench light on. Turned the vehicle off and back on and ran smoothly again. It has happened a few times.
The door sensors are not working correctly and the door ajar indicator stays on and the inside dome lights stay on making it difficult to see when it is dark outside.
