2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE DOORS WERE CLOSED. AS A RESULT, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS MALFUNCTIONED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT NO DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS PERFORMED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,299.

I STARTED GETTING A MESSAGE DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. THIS DID NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO LOCK PROPERLY (TWO BEEPS INSTEAD OF ONE BEEP). ALSO, THE INTERIOR LIGHT DID NOT GO OUT. THIS IS NOW OCCURRING WHEN I GET INTO THE CAR AND TRY TO DRIVE OFF. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, HOWEVER IS NOW HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. SOMETIMES YOU CAN LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR LOCK SEVERAL TIMES AND THE MESSAGE WILL GO OUT AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT WILL GO OFF. SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY IT WILL GO OUT IS BY SLAMMING THE DOOR. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE A RECALL IF SO MANY CUSTOMERS WITH DIFFERENT FORD/MERCURY VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DEALER LOOK AT MY CAR TOMORROW. I CAN'T CONTINUE DRIVING IT WITH THESE HAZARDS.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CONTINUES TO HAVE A "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND THEN SYSTEM TO "BING" ABOUT THE DOOR BEING OPEN WHEN IT IS CLEARLY CLOSED. NOT TO MENTION THE DOORS WON'T LOCK BECAUSE OF IT AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE DOOR IS EVER TRULY OPEN OR IF THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXING THE ISSUE SHOULD NOT COST OWNERS $500!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 FORD EDGE ON A BUSY ROAD AND LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE JERKED, THEN STARTED SHAKING, WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH BOARD. I WOULD PUSH THE PEDAL AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. HAD TO ROLL ALONG WITH FLASHERS ON UNTIL I REACHED A PARKING LOT ENTRY TO PULL INTO, AS THERE WAS NO SHOULDER ON THE ROAD I WAS ON. MEANWHILE, CARS WERE SPEEDING UP BEHIND ME AND PASSING MY CAR INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ME. ONCE IN THE PARKING LOT, I TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK ON (LESS THAN TWO SECONDS LATER), AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. TOOK THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY THEIR SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT I NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY AND WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY (VEHICLE HAD 57,000 MILES). *TR

FORD EDGE DOOR AJAR LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THIS IS A PROBLEM THIS CAR HAS HAD. THIS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL. *TR

DOLOR ON DRIVER SIDE DONT CLASE BY BEEPER AND ALARM WONT SET. AFRAID IS DAMAGED DOOR LOOK MECANISM. ALREDY CHANGED 2 TIMES BEFORE WITH WARRANTY NOW EXPIRED. ALARM ACTIVATED WHEN DOOR OPEN CANT DRIVE CAR. *TR

MY WIFE WAS GOING HOME AND TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE COLLISION AVOIDENCE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME, BUT SHE WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED FROM THE TRAFFIC BEHIND. THE VEHICLE NEVER CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WE HAVE HAD THE SYSTEM GO OFF BEFORE BUT NOT TO THIS EXTENT. THE DEALER HAS HAD NO COMPLAINTS AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE VEHICLE ACTS UP.

FAULTY DOOR LATCH, CAUSES THE DOOR OPEN WARNING LIGHT TO STAY ON. HAD TO HAVE THE LATCH REPLACED TWO YEARS IN A ROW. *TR

<<I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON 3/31/15, SO THIS MAY HAVE BEEN OCCURRING PRIOR TO PURCHASE, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME.>> WHEN CLOSING THE DRIVER'S DOOR, I GET A "DOOR AJAR" MESSAGE, EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS FULLY SHUT. I CAN GET THE MESSAGE TO GO OFF IF I SLAM THE DOOR REPEATEDLY, BUT SOMETIMES IT TAKES TWO OR THREE SLAMS TO GET IT TO GO OFF. THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I'M NOT ABLE TO GET THE MESSAGE TO GO OFF. IF IT OCCURS AT NIGHT, I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS IN THE CAR ON. I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE DRIVER'S AIR BAGS BEING ABLE TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT, IF THE SENSOR THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. THIS PROBLEM REALLY WARRANTS A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AND HAS DRAINED THE BATTERY AT LEAST 4 TIMES OVER THE PAST 10 MONTHS. THE DEAD BATTERY HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. *TR
