2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

MY FORD EDGE LATCH DOOR AJAR DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. ALL 4 DOORS TRIGGER THIS FAULT. *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME WE GET INTO THE VEHICLE AND NEVER GOES OFF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES WE CLOSE THE DOOR. DOORS DO NOT LOCK AS CAR BEGINS TO MOVE. DOME LIGHTS STAY ON FOR EXTENDED PERIOD WHEN WE START DRIVING AND AFTER WE HAVE PARKED THE CAR AT END OF TRIP. BACK UP CAMERA DOESN'T FUNCTION SOME OF THE TIME, AND IT NEVER FUNCTIONS COMPLETELY AS IT SHOULD. CAR HORN GOES OFF AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE CAR IS PARKED WITH NO ONE NEAR IT. IT IS A RANDOM SOUNDING HONKING, NOT THE CONSISTENT HONK IT MAKES WHEN THE PANIC BUTTON IS PUSHED. RADIO SOMETIMES WILL NOT TURN ON, AND SOMETIMES WHEN RADIO IS ON WHILE DRIVING, IT WON'T TURN OFF, EVEN AFTER CAR IS TURNED OFF, KEY IS TAKEN OUT, WE GET OUT OF CAR AND LOCK IT. SYNCING SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK RIGHT. PHONE CALLS DISCONNECT RANDOMLY. BATTERY WARNING LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES WHEN WE TURN CAR ON; AND DASH DISPLAY IS DELAYED OR DOESN'T COME ON. WE HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR STALL OR START A FIRE AS YET, BUT ARE AFRAID THAT MAY COME NEXT, AS WE HAVE READY THE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2011 FORD EDGE PROBLEMS AND HAVE FOUND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DOCUMENTED THESE EXACT COMPLAINTS WE HAVE LISTED, AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THE VERY DANGEROUS STALLING OR BURNING PROBLEM. HOW WE HOPE THESE PROBLEMS WILL BE INVESTIGATED AND FORD WILL BE FORCED TO FIX THESE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THEM. HOW CAN FORD NOT HAVE ADDRESSED IT YET?! *TR

THE 'DOOR AJAR' WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED (PARTICULARY OCCURS WHEN ENTERING THE DRIVER DOOR). *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON .WITH THE LIGHT ON, THE DOOR IS NOT LOCKED WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS THEN BECOMING A SAFETY CONCERN. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I AM FINDING OUT THIS AS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AND FORD HAS DONE DOING NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENOR IS NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. IT TAKES NUMEROUS ATTEMPT IN ORDER FOR THE DOOR TO BE RECOGNIZED BY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT IT IS CLOSE. THIS IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE AND DRAWS A LOT OF UNNECESSARY ATTENTION. IN ASKING AROUND, I KNOW SEVERAL OTHER FORD EDGE WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS ISSUE AS WELL, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DEFECT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, A BURNING ODOR EMITTED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT ORIGINATED FROM THE FUSE BOX. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE BATTERY TO FAIL. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. IN ADDITION, THE REAR LIFT GATE FAILED TO RELEASE AND OPENED INDEPENDENTLY. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT LATCH SECURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

WE HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH OUR FORD EDGE GOING INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY IT HAS BEEN AT LOW SPEEDS SO WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF VEHICLE. IL WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS, IT IDLES VERY ROUGHLY AND IT LIKE IT LOSES ITS MIND. YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE AND A WRENCH POPS UP ON THE DASH. WHEN YOU TURN OFF VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON, IT'S FINE. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR SWITCH NO LONG SENSES THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED RESULTING IN A CONSTANT ALARM ON THE DASH BOARD AND THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE DOORS, POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN IN THE REAR SEAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE AFTER THE DOOR WAS SECURELY CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER.
