DOOR AJAR SWITCH WENT BAD ON OUR EDGE,WHICH IS A GOOD VEHICLE.HAD IT REPLACED AND JUST FINE NOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LATCH SWITCH FAILED TO ENGAGE AND THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THE DOOR WAS ACTUALLY CLOSED. ADDITIONALLY, THE DOORS WOULD INDEPENDENTLY BECOME UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LOCK SWITCH NEEDED TO BE CLEANED AND/OR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

THE 2012 FORD EDGE DOOR SENSOR HAS GONE BAD IN MY CAR. NOTHING HAPPENED OR CHANGED, BUT HAVE READ 100'S OF INCIDENTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT STARTS WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR, AND THE DOOR SENSOR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. YOU OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR 1-2 TIMES AND IT GOES OFF. NO BIG DEAL. OVER TIME, YOU HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE 5-10 TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DOOR IS SHUT. NOT LONG AFTER THAT, THE SENSOR WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON. ULTIMATE, WILL NOT GO OFF AT ALL. SOUNDS LIKE IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL UNTIL YOU REALIZE THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE DOOR SENSOR IS ON, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, AND THE ALARM WILL NOT SET. WITH HAVING CHILDREN IN THE BACK, THEY CAN OPEN THE DOORS ON THE HIGHWAY AT ANY TIME. NOT TO MENTION NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS IN GENERAL IS UNSAFE. ALSO, THIS AFFECTS THE BATTERY BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WON'T SHUT OFF. FORD HAS YET TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. *TR

DOOR AJAR SENSOR IN DRIVER DOOR MALFUNCTIONING. SHOWS DOOR IS STILL AJAR AFTER MULTIPLE DOOR SLAMS. *TR

MY DRIVERS DOOR LATCH AJAR SWITCH IS BROKEN AND IT WILL NOT LET ME LOCK THE DOORS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND EVERY TIME I STOP THE CAR THIS ANNOYING ALARM COMES ON TELLING ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND MY DEALERSHIP WILL NOT PAY FOR THE SWITCH TO BE REPLACED EVEN THOUGH I PAID FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS STARTING IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR MY CAR STARTED STALLING AND WOULD JUST CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. IT HAPPENED MANY TIMES AFTER THAT SO I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FIRESTONE BECAUSE MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY SUGGESTED IT MAY BE BAD GAS AND THEY DID A THROTTLE BODY FLUSH. SO BETWEEN THE FLUSH AND USING MID GRADE GAS FROM A DIFFERENT STATION IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 1,000 MILES THEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. MY CAR WOULD SHAKE AND REV AND ON MANY TIMES CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, THANK GOD IT NEVER CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY WITH MY 2YR OLD DAUGHTER BEING WITH ME MOST OF THE TIME. I TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER AND AFTER THE $100 DIAGNOSTIC THEY TOLD ME THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND FORD HAD RECALLED MANY THROTTLE BODIES RECENTLY JUST NOT FOR MY CAR YET AND THE THROTTLE BODY IS NOT PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN SO IT'S NOT COVERED. SO I HAD TO PAY $600 THAT I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TO GET THIS ISSUE CORRECTED AFTER PAYING OVER $500 LATE LAST YEAR TO FIX THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON A 2012 VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THIS NEW THROTTLE BODY ISSUE IS THE LAST STRAW. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT AGAIN. *TR

DOOR AJAR STAYS ON WITH LIGHTS AND DINGING NOISE EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS CLOSED! *TR

WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALARM WOULD NOT GO OFF. I TRIED TO OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR, BUT THE ALARM STAYS ON - WHICH MEANS THAT THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE CAR STAY ON DRAINING THE BATTERY. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN MERIDIAN, ID AND THE COST FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM IS $316.00. AFTER LOOKING AT THE INTERNET FOR SOLUTIONS, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON. PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL AND MAKE THE FORD CORPORATION STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

DRIVE DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON WHEN DOOR CLOSED PREVENTING DOORS TO LOCK. SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
