2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

THE REAR LEFT DOOR "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR WOULD SHOW THAT THE DOOR WAS OPEN, EVEN WHEN SLAMMED SHUT. AT FIRST I HAD TO SLAM THE DOOR HARDER, BUT AFTER A WHILE EVEN THAT DIDN'T WORK. WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK, IT BECAME AN ISSUE BECAUSE MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULDN'T GO OFF AFTER LEAVING THE CAR. I HAD TO BREAK THE PART TO GET MY LIGHTS TO GO OFF SO I DIDN'T DRAIN MY BATTERY OVERNIGHT.

CHECK FUEL FILL INLET MESSAGE KEEP POPPING UP ON MY DASHBOARD, AND MY CAR PUTTERS WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT'S SO BAD I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS.

WHILE DRIVING AND TRYING TO STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD TO PUSH. HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. NOW AFTER ONLY 6 MONTHS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT. HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED AND IT IS STILL ACTING THE SAME. THIS IS UNSAFE AND WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH WITH FORD EDGES. THEY HAVE A REPLACEMENT PROGRAM IN PLACE FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER BUT THIS WAS FIXED AND HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM. SO OBVIOUSLY THAT ISN'T THE ANSWER.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR GOING OFF - RESULTING IN CHANGING A BATTERY OUT ALREADY SINCE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN, THE DOME LIGHT STAY ON INSIDE. VERY FRUSTRATING. READ SEVERAL FORUMS OF OTHERS DISCUSSING THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART. DOOR LATCH. THE FAULTY SENSOR TRIGGERS AN AUDIBLE WARNING, ACTIVATES A WARNING LIGHT AND CAUSES A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER MISTAKENLY BELIEVES THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED. OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT DOME LIGHTS THAT STAY ON, DRAINED BATTERIES AND CUSTOMERS SAY ALL THE DOORS UNLOCK AND CANNOT BE MANUALLY RELOCKED.

I WAS HAVING AN ENGINE LIGHT COME ON INTERMITTENTLY SOMETIMES EVEN JUST AFTER MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN FOR WARRANTY WORK. IT WOULD SOMETIMES EVEN MAKE A STALLING ENGINE SOUND WHEN I FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS. WITH THE LIGHT ON ONE OF THESE OCCASIONS I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND WAS TOLD THAT TWO OF THE 02 SENSORS WERE BAD. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE I'M TO FIND OUT THAT A CANNISTER PURGE VALVE HAD GONE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A WEEK LATER I GET A RECALL ON MY 2ND VEHICLE, A FORD FOCUS 2014 FOR THE CPV.

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. HAPPENED IN AN INSTANT. NO LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID, NO EXTERNAL TO ATMOSPHERE FLUID LEAK. TAKEN TO FORD DEALERSHIP. DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE, JUST STARTED REPLACING PARTS. AT FORD DEALER OVER ONE MONTH AND ONE WEEK. COST TO REPAIR OVER $900.00. DEALER COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHAT WENT WRONG. I HAD TO PUSH THE ISSUE HARD WITH THE SVC. MANAGER. FINALLY AFTER 2ND "SPECIAL BRAKE FLUSH" ISSUE WAS CORRECTED! NOW FOR THE SMOKING GUN..DAUGHTER HAS 2019 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. RECENTLY GETS RECALL FOR BRAKE ISSUE. HONDA MUST BLEED REAR BRAKES. LOOKED UP RECALL. ISSUE WITH "COATING ON REAR INTERNAL DISC BRAKE PARTS CREATES AIR BUBBLES INSIDE SYSTEM CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKE PEDAL". LOOK UP WHO SUPPLIES BRAKES TO FORD AND HONDA (& MANY OTHERS)....COMPANY CALLED AKEBONO SUPPLIES TO MOST OF N.A.! THIS IS ANOTHER "TAKATA" ISSUE BREWING! I SUSPECT FORD IS COVERING UP ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS LOSS OF BRAKE ISSUE. AND, THIS LOSS OF BRAKE ISSUE WILL OCCUR ON THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS OF OTHER VEHICLES, ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

DRIVERS DOOR IS INCORRECTLY REPORTED AS BEING OPEN, INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON, PARKED OR WHILE DRIVING AND STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, IMPAIRING VISIBILITY OUTSIDE AT NIGHT. SECONDARY PREVENTS DOORS VEHICLE FROM BEING LOCKED BY EXTERNAL PAD WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS KEEPING LIGHTS ON DRAINING THE BATTERY. TRYING TO OPEN/CLOSE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES EVENTUALLY RESOLVES, BUT GETS FRUSTRATING WHEN IT IS 5+ MIN TRYING TO DO THIS IN RAIN OR IN PARKING LOTS THIS HAS BEEN INCREASING IN FREQUENCY AND MORE FREQUENT IN COLD WEATHER THAN WARM..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JENNINGS ANDERSON FORD (31480 FRONTAGE RD, BOERNE, TX 78006) WHERE THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED. TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE CONTACT HAD TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT AND MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.
