2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

THIS THE FOURTH TIME DOOR SENSOR (DOOR NOT CLOSED) APPEARS AND INSIDE DOME LIGHT IS ON WHILE DRIVING DASH IS LITE UP AND WORST OF ALL THE DOORS DONOT LOCK WHICH CONCERNS US DUE TO HAVING SMALL GRAND KIDS IN BACK SEATING AREA. IF THEY OPEN DOOR AND TAKE THEIR SEAT BELT OFF WE CAN NOT STOP CAR FAST ENOUGH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. AS A RESULT, THE DOORS FAILED TO LATCH AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FAILED TO DEACTIVATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE PUSH TO START FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE FAILURE OF THE DOOR SENSORS CAUSED THE BATTERY TO FAIL. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

IN MAY OF 2014 MY FORD EDGE HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR BEING AJAR. WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL YOU GO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND GO OVER 20MPH, THEN THEY SHUT OFF. THATS THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF. ITS A DOOR SENSOR ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT AND THE DASH ICON SAYS "DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR". IT KILLS THE BATTERY AND WE NEED TO JUMP IT EVERY TIME WE USE THE VEHICLE. I JUST BOUGHT A NEW $109.00 BATTERY AND NEXT WEEK I'LL TAKE IT TO FORD TO PAY THE 500+ DOLLARS FOR A NEW SENSOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS HAZARD WHEN OPERATING AFTER SUNSET. DRIVING WITH THE DOME LIGHT ON AT NIGHT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY. BUILT FORD TOUGH?

DRIVING APROX. 40 MPH WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, CALL DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT WOULD CAUSE IT. THEY SAY TO KEEP DRIVING UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN BRING IT INTO BE CHECKED (100.00). CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 3 DAYS LATER, I HAD A LITTLE COMPUTER IT READ CODE P0744, TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT, GENERIC CODE FOR POWER TRAIN PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEIR COMPUTER WAS READING THAT CODE AS WELL AS NEEDING A NEW PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE). THIS IS COSTING APROX. $655.00 AND THEY ARE NOT SURE IF THAT IS THE ONLY THING IT NEEDS, ONCE THIS IS FIXED THE COMPUTER COULD READ SOMETHING ELSE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO GAVE US A PRINTOUT STATING THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE 2011-2012. CALLED FORD CORP. THEY WERE NOT VERY HELPFUL OTHER THAN SUGGESTING FILING A COMPLAINT. WE WERE TOLD THIS PROBLEM COULD SHUT THE CAR DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING, IT MAKES ME A LITTLE SCARED TO DRIVE IT, I DON'T NEED IT BREAKING DOWN WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR. NOT HAPPY WITH PAYING $100.00 TO BE TOLD IT'S GOING TO COST ANOTHER $650.00 AND IT MAY NOT EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM.

AT 4 SEPARATE TIMES MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING HAD A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAS FORCED TO COAST TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ON TO THE SHOULDER WITH OTHER VEHICLES ALL AROUND ME GOING 70 MPH. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT. IT HESITATED, BUT DID START AGAIN, AND THEN DROVE FINE 10 MINUTES BEFORE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN! I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY PERSON AT THE DESK KNEW WHAT IT WAS RIGHT AWAY WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE CAR: THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, AND FORD HAS ALREADY ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR OTHER CARS WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM. FOR THE EDGE, HOWEVER, I AM BEING FORCED TO PAY $600 TO REPAIR IT OR RISK MY LIFE BY CONTINUING TO DRIVE IT AS IT IS. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE EVEN REDESIGNED THE PART. THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE PART BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT (OR WORSE) BECAUSE OF THEIR MISTAKE!

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON FOR BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. THIS IS CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND IS DRAINING MY BATTERY. IT IS ALSO CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO STAY ON AT NIGHT WHICH IS MAKING IT HARD TO SEE. THE DOORS WON'T LOCK WHEN IN DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM TOO.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. CAUSES A HAZARD AS THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON (A NASTY CONDITION AT NIGHT), AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK USING THE INTERIOR LOCKING CONTROL SWITCH (NOR DO THEY LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN UNDERWAY).

I BELIEVE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY HAS FAILED AS THE EDGE HAS SIMILAR MALFUNCTIONS AS OTHER FORDS AFFECTED BY THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. THE EDGE DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND DISPLAY A WRENCH ON THE SYNC SYSTEM.

REAR DOOR(S) SHOW AJAR EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR(S) ARE CLOSED. I OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR(S) AND THE COMPUTER READS THEM AS BEING AJAR AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR AWHILE. I CAN'T SET MY ALARM BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE WEB I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON THEIR FORD PRODUCTS.

THIS IS NOW THE SEVENTH TIME I'VE LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN, STEERING BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE AND THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON. I'VE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I'M BEING TOLD THE CAR HAS NO CODES OF WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY CAN'T REPAIR. I'M NOT SURE HOW A COMPUTER DOESN'T REGISTER A LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT OR HOW IT'S NOT HARD CODED SOMEWHERE IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT THE CAR JUST CUT OUT AT 35MPH TO 60 MPH I HAVE NO WARNING THAT THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, I LOST MY STEERING, CAR SHUTS DOWN, BRAKES DO NOT WORK. FORD HAS NO IDEA ON HOW TO FIX THIS. I PULL OVER AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES CRANK UP AND GO, SOMETIMES IT DOES IT 5 TO 6 TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE I CAN GET TO THE DEALER. ALSO, MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR ALWAYS KEEPS THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON, FORD HAS NO CLUE HOW TO FIX THIS EITHER- THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYS ON THE WHOLE TIME ALSO. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ALSO AND THEY CAN'T FIX IT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND IT WAS GREAT FOR ONE YEAR AND NOW IT HAS MANY PROBLEMS WHICH I BELIEVE IT DID WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I NOW PUT 93 OCTANE IN IT JUST TO SEE IF THAT HELPS, I HAVE PUT ENGINE CLEANER IN IT, HAD ALL THE FILTERS CHANGED EVERY 3 MONTHS, NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. I DO HAVE GRANDCHILDREN AND WORRY THAT AN ACCIDENT COULD HAPPEN DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. HOW DO I GO ABOUT FILING AGAINST FORD FOR THE LEMON LAW.
