DOOR LATCH SENSER IS MALFUNCTIONING. WITH IT DOING THIS THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE OPERATING THE CAR. LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN NOT IN USE. AND ALARM WILL GO OFF WHEN EVER IT DECIDES TO WHILE NOT IN USE. DUE TO CAR SENSING THE DOOR IS AJAR. THIS MAKES THE CAR AVAILABLE TO BE PLUNDERED BY BURGLARY. WHILE IT DRAINS THE BATTERY. THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF EVENTUALLY. BUT DRIVER DOOR ( THE ONE CAUSING ISSUES) WILL NOT RESPOND KEYFOB. WHEN I USE SET OF KEYS NUMBER 2 ( MY SET) IT WON'T RESPOND TO THEM TILL I LOCK CAR AND REMOTE START SITTING INSIDE THE AUTOMOBILE. EVERY TIME YOU STOP THE CAR WILL SOUND AN ALARM AND TELL YOU TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND CLOSE DOOR, EVERYTIME!! EVEN WHEN YOU PHYSICALLY LOCK DOORS THE CAR WILL UNLOCK THEM. (POSABLY SO WE CAN GET CAR JACKED) IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. REPLACING THE MECHANISM ISN'T THE WHOLE ANSWER. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE DONE THAT ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE POP UP IN SEVERAL MONTHS. THEN THEY ARE OUT ABOUT $600. PLEASE DEAL WITH THIS IT IS ON SEVERAL MAK S AND MODELS OF FORD. I LIKE THE COMPANY, BUT AM GETTING TIRED OF THE RUN AROUND. IT STARTED IN 11/01/16 TO CURRENT. SAD PART IS IT USE UP COME AND GO. NOT ANYMORE.

THE FRONT, DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH IS DYSFUNCTIONAL. THE SENSOR DOES NOT CORRECTLY READ WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN AND CLOSED. IT WILL NOT READ WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED, SO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. PLUS, THE DOOR AGAR SWITCH DINGS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT DRIVING DURING THE NIGHTTIME WHEN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF BECAUSE OF THIS DYSFUNCTIONAL SENSOR. PLUS, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK BECAUSE THE SENSOR READS INCORRECTLY. I RECENTLY ATTEMPTED TO LOCK MY DOORS BECAUSE I WAS AT A STOP-LIGHT IN A ROUGH PARTY OF TOWN, BUT THEY WOULD NOT LOCK BECAUSE THE SENSOR READS MY DRIVER'S DOOR AS "OPEN." I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

DRIVERS SIDE "DOOR OPEN" DASH INDICATOR IS ACTIVE WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED, BOTH IN PARK AND WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS OCCASIONALLY COME ON DURING DRIVING, THEN GONE OFF AGAIN. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN CAR IS OFF, LEADING TO A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY AND I EVENTUALLY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. THE ONLY WAY TO OCCASIONALLY MAKE THE LIGHT GO OFF IS TO REPEATEDLY OPEN AND THEN SLAM THE DOOR CLOSED. I ALSO FEEL THE ANTI THEFT FEATURES AND OVERALL LOCKING MAY BE COMPROMISED AS I HEAR THE HORN "DOUBLE BEEP" WHEN USING THE REMOTE CONTROL KEY FOB LOCK, INDICATING THAT A DOOR IS STILL "OPEN".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS CLOSED, THE "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND A BELL-LIKE ALARM SOUNDED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE DOORS REMAINED UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR SWITCH WAS STUCK AND THAT THE DOOR SWITCH ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,000.
DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER SHUTTING THE DOOR NUMEROUS OF TIMES. THIS CAUSES THE INSIDE LIGHT TO STAY ON DRAINING THE BATTERY AS WELL AS THE DOOR AJAR ALARM TO KEEP GOING OFF EVERY 3 MINUTES.
Official recalls
214V393000 · Power Train:axle Assembly:axle Shaft
Jul 2, 2014
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles manufactured September 2, 2010, to November 30, 2013; 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS vehicles manufactured August 25, 2011, to November 30, 2013; and 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles manufactured September 12, 2011, to November 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed, and as a result, the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without prior warning.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the halfshaft and linkshaft become disengaged while driving, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'Park', increasing the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure that the halfshaft is properly retained. If it is not, dealers will replace the linkshaft and also replace the halfshaft if it shows evidence of spline damage, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S10.

The fuel line pulse damper metal housing may crack as a result of an improper manufacturing process. A cracked fuel line pulse damper housing may result in a combination of fuel odor, weepage, or a continuous leak while the fuel system is pressurized.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel line with one that does not have a damper, free of charge. The safety recall began on February 25, 2014. Owners may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 13S13. IMPORTANT: This recall supersedes recall 12V-438. All vehicles that have been remedied under the previous recall need to have the current remedy applied.

1PE16012 · 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.
