2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LATCH BECAME INOPERABLE PREVENTING THE DOORS FROM LOCKING. THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

DOOR ADJAR ALARM KEEPS GOING OFF FOR DRIVER AND REAR LEFT PASSENGER DOORS EVEN WHEN DOORS ARE PROPERLY CLOSED. ON THIS DATE, DOOR ADJAR ALARM WENT OFF FOR REAR RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR. I IGNORED THE ALARM THINKING THE SENSOR HAD FAILED FOR YET ANOTHER DOOR. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION, I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS ACTUALLY NOT CLOSED PROPERLY AND IT WAS A LEGITIMATE ALARM. MY 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN TH SEAT, AND HAD FAILED TO PROPERLY CLOSE THE DOOR. I COMPLETELY IGNORED THE ALARM BECAUSE FOR MONTHS THE DOOR ADJAR ALARM HAD BEEN SOUNDING FOR THE DRIVER AND REAR LEFT PASSENGER DOORS. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN, AND FORD HAS STILL NOT RECALLED.

DOOR SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER THAT THE DOOR IS SHUT, CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO STAY ON INSIDE CONTINUOUSLY. THIS IS A DANGER TO THE DRIVER ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CANNT SEE TO DRIVE WITH THE INSIDE DOME LIGHTS ON AND ITS UNSAFE FOR THE PASSENGERS WHEN THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE WARNING INDICATOR DISPLAYED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS AJAR EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR WAS CLOSED SECURELY. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

A DOOR AJAR BUT NO DOOR OPEN. LATCH KEY ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE CHANGED ON DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT AND NOW AT 80,000 MILES LATCH KEY CHANGE NEEDING CHANGED ON PASSENGER REAR DOOR. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR FORD TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. POSTED SO MANY TIMES HERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH FROM THE INSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,795. UPDATED 09/14/15*LJ

"DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT ON DASH DOES NOT GO OUT. ALSO, TWIN INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT GO OUT. THIS DRAWS DOWN BATTERY WHEN PARKED AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. FIX FROM FORD DEALERSHIP IS $400+. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, AND SEEMS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM. I SAW ON LINE REPAIRS OF HOW TO FIX GOING BACK TO 1998 FORD MODEL FROM WINDSTARS, TO RANGERS, TO EDGES - ALL MODELS YEARS, ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD HAS NOT BOTHERED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS!..3-DAYS AGO, I TOOK MY 2013 FORD TAURUS TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN LANCASTER, SC FOR A SAFETY RECALL TO FIX DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCHES, AND A SEPARATE RECALL CHECK ON LIGHTS ON THE LICENSE PLATE FOR POSSIBLE MOISTURE LEAKAGE. SO, I GOT A SAFETY RECALL ON POSSIBLY FAILED SEAL ON LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS, BUT NO RECALL ON AN ISSUE WITH THE LIGHTS ON IN THE VEHICLE CAB WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT??? IT MAKES ONE WONDER WHO MAKE THESE DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IS IT DONE SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF WHAT IS CHEAP AND EXPEDITIOUS? IF THE FIX IS CHEAP, RECALL IT AND IF THE FIX IS A BIT MORE COSTLY, DO NOTHING AND LET THE MANUFACTURER MAKE MONEY OFF THE FIX. HOW CAN DRIVERS BE PROTECTED? HOW CAN CONSUMERS BE PROTECTED? I HOPE YOU CAN HELP. THANK YOU. [XXX].UPDATED 10/27/15 *BF 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *BF

DOOR AJAR SENSOR WILL NOT GO OUT AFTER DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AFTER DOOR IS CLOSED.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH FAULTY, WAS SHOWING DOOR AJAR WHEN CLOSED WHICH PREVENTED DOORS FROM LOCKING AND KEPT INTERIOR LIGHTS ON NOT SURE IF AIRBAG WOULD ARM OR NOT. WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND TOOK TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD IT JUST NEEDED TO BE RESET. DEALER DID NOT DOCUMENT THE REPAIR AND WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $600 TO REPLACE THE LATCH. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE DOORS TO NOT LOCK DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. ) THE SENSOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND THEREFORE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON (EVEN AT NIGHT). THIS ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING OVERNIGHT
