The driver's door says 'door ajar' when it is closed. Then, my 2013 Ford Edge dome light stays on while driving. I try to open and close the door several times as well lock and unlock the door. After several minutes of trying - I can get it to turn off. This issue has been happening for over 2 months!
Driver door sensor is not acknowledging that the door is closed. When driving, the door ajar warning appears on the console which prevents the doors from automatically locking. This issue also cause the interior lights to stay on while driving and can't be manually turned off.
Door ajar symbol keeps coming on even when door is closed. Light stays on when driving and signals to shift to park and close door. Very distracting when driving and can cause an accident

Have had lights stay on, come back on or radio turn on in garage after it has been sitting for a while. 10 or more instances of the battery being completely discharged after being turned off in garage for two to four days. There will be no problems for a long time followed by times when every other week there is a problem to having to disconnect the battery every night or it won't start. We have replaced the battery 4 or 5 times and have again on a new deep cycle battery having problems. Also had vehicle shut down at a stop sign in first 6 months to year of life. The dealership said it was some sort of fuel thing that needs to be cleaned every 10,000 miles to keep it from happening again. However, it could easily have been the battery, my wife was driving and is not mechanically inclined. We have had constant battery problems but no further fuel issues.
"door ajar" light on dash remains on even when doors shut securely. This causes inside lights to remain on, and buzzer to buzz. Problem continues during vehicle in use
Door ajar light came on and would not go out. The door was shut completely. The lights inside the car therefore stayed on as it thought the door was open. This progressively got worse as lights showed up on dash and beeping started- telling me to close the door. This seems to be a known problem for Ford- lots and lots of complaints online about the exact issue- which is where I found out what it was. I had to pay to have a dealer fix this- $553.46.
Before I can go anywhere in my car, the door ajar indication comes on. I have to keep slamming my door shut for it to turn off. It has also drained my battery, making my car inoperable until I replace it.
Drivers door latch assembly sensor defective, tells driver the door is open and you have to check it constantly, some times it goes away and some times it does not
Drivers side door ajar sensor randomly sounds off. This started on or around 7/2/2018 when the vehicle was stationary. However, it has since progressed to randomly do it while in motion, on a city street or a highway. This causes all interior lights to come on, even in hours of darkness.
