THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE DOOM LIGHTS WONT TURN OFF. I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH FORDS WHERE THE POORLY DESIGNED DOOR LATCH BINDS UP. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2002 EXPLORER AND NOW WITH MY 2008 EDGE. IT BECOMES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT SINCE THE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF SO IT IS HARD TO SEE OUTSIDE AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO GET THIS FAR BEFORE THIS ISSUE HAS SURFACED SINCE I HAVE READ THAT FORD CARS 2 TO 3 YEARS OLD SEEM TO HAVE THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. *JS

I HAVE OWNED MULTIPLE VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. I BOUGHT A 2008 FORD EDGE IN NOV 2011. BY JUNE OF 2012, I HAD WATER POURING INTO MY VEHICLE THROUGH THE DASH ONTO MY VEHICLE FLOOR. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE CONDENSATION DRAIN WAS CLOGGED WITH LEAVES, WHICH CAUSED THE WATER TO RISE. THE WATER SHORTED OUT THE MOTOR FOR MY FAN, SO MY WHOLE MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW I AM HAVING THIS PROBLEM AGAIN. THE ONLY PEOPLE I KNOW OF WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE ARE FORD EDGE OWNERS. DUE TO OWNING VARIOUS MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES AND NEVER EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND FROM INTERNET SEARCHING, I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT WITH THE FORD EDGE. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
