2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT AND DOME LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DOORS FAILED TO LOCK WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, IT WON'T SHUT OFF. SAME WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS BECAUSE OF THIS. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKES THE PEDAL FELT HARD AS IF THE POWER SYSTEM HAD FAILED AND I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE WITH THE ENGINE OFF. I HAD TO PRESS EXTREMELY HARD TO GET THE CAR TO STOP BEFORE HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF EDGE OWNERS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTERS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALERT WOULD NOT GO OFF AND NEITHER WOULD THE INTERIOR LIGHTS EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR WAS SHUT. THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK ONCE I STARTED DRIVING EITHER SINCE IT WAS SAYING THE DRIVER DOOR WAS OPEN. I'M WAITING FOR THE BATTER TO JUST DIE SINCE MY INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A LONG TIME AFTER I SHUT AND LOCK MY DOORS BECAUSE THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALERT NEVER GOES OFF. I'VE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY WON'T COVER IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF MY DOOR IS EVERY REALLY SHUT, MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL ONLY GO OFF AFTER I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THE DOORS WON'T EVEN LOCK RIGHT!

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON. INTERIOR LIGHTING WILL NOT TURN OFF. USER CAN'T LOCK DOORS WHILE DRIVING. DOME LIGHT STAYS ON DRAINING BATTERY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 95 IN VIRGINIA, A WARNING POPPED UP ON MY DASHBOARD, AS THE WARNING POPPED UP MY VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A SAFE HIGHWAY SPEED. THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS STOP MY VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP, TO TRY AND MOVE IT TO A SAFER LOCATION, IN WHICH THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO LOSE ALL POWER. I FINALLY MADE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. I HAD A TOW TRUCK BRING ME TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH CAUSED THE ISSUE IN THE CAR. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING IN FORD VEHICLES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE IF MY MOTHER AND FATHER IN LAW WERE NOT TRAVELING BEHIND MY VEHICLE. MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTIONING PART. FORD HAS NO REPORTS OF THIS WITH THEIR NEWER MODEL VEHICLES NOR DO THEY WARN THEIR CUSTOMERS ON WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THE THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTIONS. FORD HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO THEIR CUSTOMERS TO WARN THEM ABOUT THIS PART.

THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH SENSOR (DRIVER DOOR AJAR) WILL NOT GO OUT AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK BECAUSE OF IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE ANYONE COULD JUST WALK UP AND OPEN YOUR DOOR SINCE IT WILL NOT LOCK. I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2008 EDGE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS WHY IS NOTHING GETTING DONE ABOUT THIS TO MAKE THEM PUT A RECALL OUT FOR THE PROBLEM?

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. CURRENTLY THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE FIRST WAS THE DRIVER DOOR WHICH OCCURRED IN DECEMBER OF 2012. THE LATCH WAS REPLACED BY THE LOCAL DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE TOOK PLACE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014. THIS TIME THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR MALFUNCTIONED. THE LATCH WAS REPLACED AT OWNERS EXPENSE. CURRENTLY THE DRIVER DOOR AGAIN IS MALFUNCTIONING. EACH TIME THE DOOR IS CLOSED THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS OF CLOSING THE DOOR THE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT GO OUT. WHEN ON THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL REMAIN ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE FORD EDGE ESPECIALLY THE 2011 MODELS.

TELL US WHAT HAPPENED: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: MY VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHETHER MY DOOR IS OPENED OR CLOSED. I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED THAT EVEN SHUTTING IT MAY LEAD TO ISSUES BECAUSE THE ALERT IS SAYING ITS NOT IS NOT CLOSED. WILL MY DOOR RADOMLY OPEN ON THE HIGHWAY? IF IM IN AND ACCIDENT WILL I BE THROWN OUT OF THE CAR? I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND EVEN PUT MY CAR IN THE SHOP THREE. THEY GAVE A TEMPORARY FIX AND REALLY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD ABOUT IT AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE RECALLED IN ORDER THEM TO LOOK IN TO THE ISSUE. MY GIRLFRIEND PURCHASE THE CAR AT THE SAME TIME AND SHE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NOT ONLY HER DRIVERS DOOR BUT HER PASSENGER DOORS WHICH COULD ENDANGER HE CHILDREN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. WE ARE AFRAID THAT THIS ISSUE COULD POTENTIALLY HURT ALOT OF PEOPLE

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR WILL NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO BE LOCKED WHILE IN MOTION. ADDITIONALLY, IT WILL FORCE THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED AFTER REMOVING THE KEY WHICH THEN DRAINS THE BATTERY REQUIRING CONSTANT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE.
