2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED A FRIDAY NIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A DARK ROAD. MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE THEN NO LONGER WOULD DRIVER AND THE WRENCH TOOL LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, EVERYTHING SEEMED TO WORK FINE, UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAD 50 MILES TO GO BEFORE EMPTY.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SENSOR IS NOT WORKING. DOOR SHOWS OPEN, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF. WON'T LOCK DOORS AND SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS. FROM ALL THE FEEDBACK I'VE READ, SURE WOULD LIKE TO SEE FORD DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. THANKS!

DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR WARNING, CAUSING THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS TO MALFUNCTION. ALSO PREVENTS DOME AND COURTESY LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON AND OVERHEAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY AND THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ALTHOUGH THE DOORS WERE NOT OPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED OVER NIGHT. AS A RESULT, THE BATTERY DIED. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DOORS FAILED TO LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCHES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

MY 2011 FORD EDGE INSIDE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR, I GUESS ITS THE SENSOR ON MY DOOR BUT ITS HAPPENED ON THE BACK HATCH DOOR AS WELL. ON MY DASHBOARD IT TELL ME THAT I HAVE AN OPEN DOOR WHICH ITS COMPLETELY CLOSED BUT LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL I DRIVE OFF. OR WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR AND LOCK THE DOORS THE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, ITS DRAINING MY BATTERY. WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENS I CAN NOT EVEN LOCK MY DOORS WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR, I NEED TO LOCK MY DOORS FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, MY DOORS ARE ALWAYS UNLOCK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. ALSO, CAR ALARM WILL ENGAGE WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND LOCKED.

I HAVE BEEN ON SOME OTHER WEB SITE WHERE OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS TYPE OF ISSUES. IT WILL COST ME ROUGHLY $400.00 TO FIX IT WHICH ITS MONEY I DO NOT HAVE. WHY WAS THIS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I HAD THIS ISSUE FIXED ONCE BUT THE DEALERSHIP ONLY DID A BAND AID JOB ON IT AND DID NOT COMPLETELY FIX IT WITH NEW PARTS - HELP ME - ALSO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I TOOK MY CAR TO DOES NOT HAVE A LOANER CAR TO USE WHEN A CUSTOMER NEEDS IT IF THEIR CAR IS BEING REPAIRED.

MY THROTTLE BODY HAS GONE OUT ON MY EDGE CAUSING MY CAR TO COMPLETELY STALL OUT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND ON THE HIGHWAYS. I HAVE READ FORUMS ABOUT MANY WARRANTY EXTENSIONS THAT FORD PUT ON VEHICLES VERY SIMILAR TO MY OWN BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE BUT MINE WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE. I'M NOW HAVING TO PAY $800 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT FORD CREATED!

THE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR REMAINS ON AFTER FULLY CLOSING THE DOOR. THIS WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR DOORS TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING, NOR WILL IT ALLOW FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE LOCKED/ALARMED WHEN PARKED. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS, ATTEMPTS TO LOCK THE VEHICLE HAVE RESULTED IN THE ALARM AND EMERGENCY FLASHERS GOING OFF. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, BUT IS NOW CONSTANT. A SAFETY AS WELL AS A SECURITY HAZARD.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75 IN KENTUCKY, MY 2011 FORD EDGE LOST POWER, WITH VIOLENT SHUDDERING AND NO ACCELERATION. MANAGED TO MOVE FROM THE MIDDLE LANE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. SHUT OFF EDGE AND RESTARTED, EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL. TODAY, AUG, 12 THE EXACT SAME OCCURANCE HAPPENED AGAIN, OTHER THAN SPEED ALL CONDITIONS WERE THE SAME. FORD DEALER SAID IT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE THROTTLE BODY BUT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND VEHICLE IS NOT SHUT OFF AND TAKEN DIRECTLY TO THEM. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE INCIDENT TO HAVE HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

THE WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD FOR DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR CONTINUES TO COME ON DESPITE THE DOOR BEING SECURELY SHUT. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING. IN ADDITION, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AT TIMES WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF DUE TO THE DOOR AJAR WARNING, DRAINING THE VEHICLE BATTERY. THIS CAUSES A SECONDARY SAFETY ISSUE OF BEING STRANDED DUE TO BATTERY BEING DRAINED AND CAR UNABLE TO START.
