DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON WHILE DOOR IS SHUT. THE DOORS ARE UNABLE TO LOCK WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND DOME LIGHTS REMAIN LIT AT NIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR CAUSED THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ALTHOUGH THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. IN ADDITION, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCH ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000.

WHEN STATIONARY AND 1ST STARTED IT WILL STATE THAT THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS CLEARLY CLOSED. THIS HAS CAUSED MY DOORS NOT TO LOCK AND THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

DRIVER DOOR OPEN KEEPS SHOWING UP EVEN WHEN THEN DOOR IS SHUT. THIS RESULTS IN INSIDE LIGHTS NOT SHUTTING OFF AND OTHERS ANNOYING THINGS AS WELL. I AM HAVING TO RESHOT THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT SAFE. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE?

INTERIOR LIGHT WOULD STAY ON WITH FALSE DOOR OPEN SIGNAL ON DRIVER SIDE, THEN SAME THING ON PASSENGER SIDE. UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME BUT HAD $100 DEDUCTIBLE PAID ON EACH SIDE. NOW WARRANTY IS UP AND R/REAR SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYING ON. THIS HAS TO BE MANUFACTURED ISSUE AND RECALLED. 2011 EDGE WITH NOW 86000 MILES. HELP PLEASE!

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DRIVER DOOR. THE DASH LIGHT APPEARS SAYING DOOR AJAR AND MY DOME LIGHT STAYS ON, EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT. IF I OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES IT SOMETIMES GOES OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS MY DOOR DOES NOT LOCK IN THUS CONDITION. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY. IF I CAN'T GET THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT TO GO OUT AND I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD IT STAYS ON. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY GAVE ME TWO OPTIONS, TRY CLEANING THE LATCH ASSEMBLY, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT HELP OR TO REPLACE THE PART. I HAVE NOT DONE EITHER AT THIS POINT. IT WILL BE $150 TO CLEAN IT OR $300 TO REPLACE. I TOLD THEM I NEEDED TIME TO MAKE A DECISION. THIS WAS ON APRIL 15,2016.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING AND PASSENGER DOOR AJAR WARNING COMES ON WHEN THE DOORS ARE NOT AJAR, AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN GEAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
