While driving, wrench light comes on, vehicle loses all acceleration, engine idles. Managed to get the car over to the shoulder, turned the ignition off and back on, everything seemed fine. Same thing happened again 2 hours later. Took car to the dealership and was told there's nothing they can do with reading the codes. They drove my car for 8 miles trying to replicate the problem to no avail. I'm 5 months pregnant and feeling very unsafe in my car. I was told that it might not happen again, but if it does, go to the nearest Ford dealership.
Driver door will not lock. Door ad jar message on dash. When you manually lock the door they immediately unlock. Can not keep doors locked. Tried locking door before starting engine but doors unlocks as soon as car starts even before car is in motion. This happens almost all the time the car is started. I just drive with the error of N the dash board "put car in park" and an occasional audible sound.
Takata recall my 2013 Ford Edge has been experiencing issues with the door. It constantly tells me my door is open when it is in fact closed. The lights stay on and if I try to drive the car it gives me a warning saying shift to park and that the door is open. It's been happening continusly and sometimes the door won't lock at all. It normally happens when I'm in park but as of recently it's happened as im droving. I'm also having issues with my brakes hitting the floor and my car excellerating instead of slowing down when the brakes are pressed...this normally happens on a freeway when I'm driving at high speeds.
The door ajar sensor on the driver side door will not go off when shutting the door. It has been doing this for a month now. It poses a safety risk to children in the back seat who may open a unlocked door now because of this sensor failing to operate because of Ford horrible engineering

While it starts intermittently, the 'door ajar' light is coming on ' and staying on even when the door is certainly closed. Over time there is no amount of door slamming that can get that warning light to shut off. It's most likely an electrical issue related to the switch inside the latch mechanism. While the door will mechanically latch, issues with the switch make the door appear to be open to the car's electronic control unit (ECU). It doesn't matter if the vehicle is in park, drive, neutral, reverse. The light still remains on when attempting to close the door. This has been happening for several months.
The sensor on the back driver's side door is making it appear the door is ajar when it is not. This causes the dome light to stay on and is affecting the alarm on the car.
Driver door ajar warning even though door is closed. Occurs while stationary and while in motion. Prevents drivers door from being locked while the vehicle is in motion presenting a safety hazard to the driver.
Door ajar light stays on when doors are definitely shut tight. Sometimes the door locks will not automatically lock when the car is put in drive. Sometimes the dome lights stay on which can be a problem at night.
Door latch closed sensor not working. Well documented issue amongst thousands of Ford owners. Door either will not register as closed, or will appear to have come open while driving, causing interior lights to come on at night, doors not to lock properly, battery to drain over night, etc. This issue was a recall for Ford several years back on different models but they are not being recalled anymore and this needs to be changed, it is a major concern. For me it has been ongoing for several months, steadily getting worse.
The "door ajar" light and chime won't turn off, even though the door is definitely closed. The fob won't open the door. The overhead courtesy lights stay on when the ignition is off because the electronics indicate the door is open. This drains the battery. This problem first occurred around 2015, while the car was in its bumper to bumper phase. They fixed it lickity split. Now, in its extended Ford warranty, you can likely guess, it isn't covered. For $486 they can put a new lock sensor in the door. Guaranteed to be my last Ford product.
On drivers front door, door ajar warning lamp intermittently comes on, even after repeatedly opening/closing door, & interior lamp stays on because of this. Occurs upon entering car from parked position. Was repaired under warranty once before about 1 1/2 years ago.
Driver side door ajar alarm remains on after door is closed. Constant alarms when stopping to place vehicle in park. Doors will not lock and lighting remains on in car.
Driver side door gives warning of door ajar when door is cocompletely shut, causing the safety of my 5 year old and I to be compromised by the vehicles inability to lock the doors while in motion as well as leaving the interior lights on which impairs evening visability. Lastly it continues to provide a warning alarm which impairs drivers concentration and ability to maintain Focus and safety on the road and on other drivers as well as driving safety procedures. Problem.is intermittent amd will happen when parked or randomly while driving. Problem persists even after slamming door, which can cause further damage to the proper functionality and safety of the vehicle that is controlled through the doors control pannel. If issue persists I plan on filing with the BBB in regards to this issue and the negligence of Ford in this hazardous compromise on safety for those in the vehicle, especially in cases including youth and children.
