2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE SPEED DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS, WHO CONFIRMED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED A SPECIAL CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM RELATED TO THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS LIT EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS CREATES SAFETY PROBLEMS AT NIGHT SINCE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS CAN BE ESPECIALLY CONCERNING FOR SOME THAT MAY BE BOTHERED BY MORE LIGHT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND FOR THOSE VEHICLES THAT HAVE TINTED WINDOWS. THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE ABOUT 29 MONTHS OLD AND AT ABOUT 39,700 MILES. THE DOOR LATCH WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME AND IT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN - LESS THAN 25 MONTHS LATER AND IN JUST UNDER 27,000 MILES.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING POPPED UP WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR IN THE MORNING. CLOSED IT MULTIPLE TIMES BUT WOULD NOT GO AWAY AND INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ON. DEALERSHIP STATED THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY WILL NEED TO REMOVE DOOR PANEL, LUBRICATE MECHANISM AND RESET MECHANISM. CAR WAS FINE. NEXT DAY, DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIT UP WHILE DRIVING. WAS UNABLE TO GET WARNING TO GO AWAY. INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON. MECHANISM IS STIFFER NOW AND LOCKED INTO PLACE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET THE WARNING TO GO AWAY AND I WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR. AFTER A UNLOCKING/LOCKING, OPENING DOOR HANDLE, FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET MECHANISM TO MOVE SO THE DOOR COULD BE CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ON BECAUSE WARNING LIGHT REMAINS. I PAID $100 WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE TO GET IT FIXED AND NOW IT IS WORSE. FORD - REPORT AS RECALL AND FIX THIS!! WHAT IF IT GETS STUCK AGAIN WHILE I AM IN THE CAR? I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT BY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I ALSO DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK WITH A DEAD BATTERY. I AM FEMALE!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE POWER TRAIN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE AWD OFF MESSAGE APPEARED. THE ENGINE THEN BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND STALLED. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED OFF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY HIGHWAY. I95 MIAMI SOUTHBOUND EXPRESS LANES. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE WAS SHAKING BALDY. LIMITED SOFT SHOULDER. WIFE WAS VERY SCARED

WIPERS HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN COMING ON WHEN EVER THEY WANT TO AND RUN ON INTERMITTENT. YOU COULD START THE CAR AND THE WIPERS START. DURING LOVE BUG SEASON SMEARING LOVE BUG GUTS ALL OVER THE WINDOW. CAUSING A DISTRACTION, NOT ONLY TO YOU BUT TO OTHER DRIVERS. TRYING TO FIDDLE WITH THE WIPER CONTROL TRYING TO GET IT TO STOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO NICK NICHOLAS FORD IN CRYSTAL RIVER FL ON 8-26-15 AM. THEY SAID THEY LOOKED AT IT AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. DROVE TO WORK AND AT 11:00 AM ON 8-26-15 IT STARTED AGAIN AND ABOUT EVERY 35 SECONDS THEY WIPE ACROSS THE DRY WINDSHIELD. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR TURNS ON WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT. THE DOOR CAN BE CLOSED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR STILL BELIEVES THE DOOR IS NOT SHUT. THIS CAUSES THE BATTERY TO DRAIN.

THE PASSENGER DOOR AJAR SENSOR REMAINS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS RESULTS IN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINING ON AND DRAINING THE BATTERY.

THE DRIVER DOOR SENSOR IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE DOOR NEVER REGISTERS AS "CLOSED" AND AS SUCH IT INTERMITTENTLY SETS OFF THE CAR ALARM AND DRAINS THE BATTERY WHEN THE CAR IS NOT IN USE.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR CONTINUES TO GO OFF EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLEARLY SHUT. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW WILL COME ON WHEN I AM DRIVING. ALSO, THE SILVER COATING ON MY DRIVER DOOR HANDLE IS PEELING OFF WHICH HAS RESULTING IN ME SLICING MY FINGER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS.
