PLEASE CONSIDER REVIEWING THIS ISSUE. ELECTRICAL CONTACT ON DOOR LATCH DOES NOT SENSE THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS PROPERLY SHUT. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK, DOME LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT, AS A WOMAN I REALLY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THAT I AM ALONE AND FEMALE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT OR WAITING...ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOOR. DOOR AJAR INDICATOR STAYS ON, CONDITIONING YOU TO IGNORE IT. DRIVING WITH THE DOME LIGHT ON IS ILLEGAL AND AN UNSAFE PRACTICE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND I'M CERTAIN THAT THIS "KNOWN DEFECT" HAS ALREADY RESULTED IN LOSS OF LIFE. ADDITIONALLY, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FOR DEALER AND THEY REPAIRED IT IN MAY OF 2014 FOR $375.00. IT WORKED FOR 3 MONTHS AND THEN THE DEFECT RETURNED. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY SAID SINCE THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE PART ( THEY ONLY CLEANED THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS) IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALERT WOULD NOT GO OFF AND NEITHER WOULD THE INTERIOR LIGHTS EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR WAS SHUT. THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK ONCE I STARTED DRIVING EITHER SINCE IT WAS SAYING THE DRIVER DOOR WAS OPEN. I'M WAITING FOR THE BATTER TO JUST DIE SINCE MY INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A LONG TIME AFTER I SHUT AND LOCK MY DOORS BECAUSE THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALERT NEVER GOES OFF. I'VE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY WON'T COVER IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF MY DOOR IS EVERY REALLY SHUT, MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL ONLY GO OFF AFTER I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE DOORS WON'T EVEN LOCK RIGHT!

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR WILL NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO BE LOCKED WHILE IN MOTION. ADDITIONALLY, IT WILL FORCE THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED AFTER REMOVING THE KEY WHICH THEN DRAINS THE BATTERY REQUIRING CONSTANT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE.

PE16012 · Door Ajar Warning Light Always On

Opened Sep 28, 2016 · Closed Mar 20, 2017

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Interior Lighting; Latches/locks/linkages; Latches/locks/linkages:doors:latch

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this investigation on September 28, 2016 based on allegations that the door ajar light located on the instrument cluster stays on all of the time even when all doors are closed and fully latched on 2011-2013 model year Ford Edge vehicles.When the light is illuminated continuously, vehicle occupants cannot be certain if any of the doors are properly latched.Reported safety consequences as a result of this issue include doors opening while driving (because doors were initially not latched properly), doors cannot be locked while driving, and the interior dome lights staying on continuously. Ford data received from the Information Request letter corresponding to this investigation indicates the failures were caused by contamination of the electrical contacts on the switch located within each door latch that tells the vehicle if the door is open or closed.All four doors contain the same latch design and switch.According to Ford, the Body Control Module (BCM) monitors the position of the switch and continuously samples it to detect a state of change.After a closed door state is detected, a continuous wetting current designed to keep the electrical contacts clean is sent from the BCM to the switches as long as the BCM is active.Beginning with the 2011 model year Edge vehicles, a change in BCM strategy resulted in a reduction of the wetting current sent out to clean the switch contacts by more than 75%.Over time, this low level of current is not sufficient to keep the switch contacts clean and contamination build up causes them to fail as described above.During the course of this investigation, ODI has identified a total of 1,983 complaints related to the door ajar light.Of these complaints, 14 indicated that a door opened while driving.Twelve of the 14 door opening events were situations where an occupant of the vehicle (often a child) opened a passenger door because the doors were not locked.The remaining two complaints involved a door opening on its own because the driver was unaware that the door was unlatched.There were no accidents but one complainant reported that a shoulder injury was caused by the driver having to repeatedly slam the door in an effort to get the door ajar light to turn off.After reviewing all available data, an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety has not been identified.The door latches themselves continue to function properly, remaining securely latched until acted upon by a driver or passenger.Child safety locks on the rear doors continue to function properly and can be used to prevent the rear doors from opening via the inside door handles.Vehicle crashworthiness is not affected by the lock condition of the doors and all active safety systems continue to function normally even if the vehicle BCM believes one or more doors is open.In addition, no accidents or accident related injuries have been reported.A safety-related defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, the investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will monitor the issue and reserves the right to take future action if warranted by the circumstances.ODI numbers for the reports cited above are shown in the attached document.
