2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL STAY ON EVEN WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS CLOSED. IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES OF SHUTTING OR SLAMMING THE DOOR TO TURN OFF. WHEN I DRIVE WITH THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STILL ON, THE DOORS WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK, WHICH IS UNSAFE. ABOUT 10 INSTANCES WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, THE CAR ALARM WENT OFF FOR NO REASON, BOTH DAY AND NIGHT IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. IF THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, IT CAN RUN THE BATTERY DOWN. I GOT A DIAGNOSTICS TEST PERFORMED ON THE CAR FOR $95 AND IT IS A FAULTY LATCH IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE FORD DEALERSHIP ESTIMATED IT WOULD COST $510 + TAX.

THE VEHICLE REPORTS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS SECURELY CLOSED. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. IT ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT YET STARTED. THIS RESULTS IN AUDIO AND VISUAL ALARMS WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING, AND INTERIOR LIGHTING WHICH REMAINS ON FOR LONG PERIODS WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.

IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A TELEPHONE POLE, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE ELECTRICAL WOULD JUST SHUT DOWN. BRAKES WERE ACTING STRANGE. ALL WHILE MOVING.

THE WHEEL BEARING CAN BE HEARD HUMMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL. A PREVIOUS BEARING HAS BEEN REPLACED ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE FOR THE SAME REASON. THE BEARING IS WEARING OUT AND RUBBING, CREATING EXCESSIVE FRICTION.

DOOR LATCH SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING. THE DOOR WILL NOT SHUT OFF THE DOOR AJAR WARNING WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. TWO DOORS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED THROUGH OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOORS, AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS BEGINNING TO DO THE SAME THING.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET & HAD TO APPLY HARD BRAKING. NOW THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR & THE CAR DOES NOT STOP PROPERLY.

AFTER RESEARCHING FORD EDGE RESEARCH THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME THING OCCUR TO THEM. MY CAR WILL START AND BE DRIVING THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LITERALLY LOOSES ALL POWER AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AND IT APPEARS THAT FORD DOESN'T WANT TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE IN DANGER, THERE IS NO WARNING OF WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AND THEN YOU STUCK SITTING ON THE ROAD WHILE IN DRIVE AS YOUR CAR LOST POWER.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS 2012 FORD EDGE. IT WORKED FINE AT THE DEALER. NOW AFTER II GET IT HOME, THE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF AND THE CAR BATTERY DIED. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN OLD BATTERY. BOUGHT A NEW ONE. THEN I NOTICED THE DOOR LIGHT WOULDN'T GO OFF. NOW I HAVE A CAR I PAID 140000 FOR AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT BECAUSE THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR FORDS. I AM AMAZED IT IS NOT. WE NEED SOMETHING DONE TO FIX THIS SO WE CAN DRIVE THE CAR. I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA 650.00 TO FIX IT TEMPORARILY.

COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. SOFT PEDAL. THANK GOODNESS I ALWAYS LEAVE LOTS OF ROOM WHEN IN TRAFFIC. PRESSED ON BRAKES. NOTHING. QUICKLY PRESSED AGAIN. NOTHING. QUICKLY PRESSED AGAIN. STOOD ON BRAKES. :FINALLY STOPPED. SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME. WAS SOLE PASSENGER, THANK GOODNESS, AS USUALLY HAVE PASSENGERS WITH ME. HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES THIS WEEK AND A FEW OTHER TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH. THOUGHT I JUST NEEDED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY MECHANIC TO BLEED THE BRAKES OR CHECK THE MASTER CYLINDER. STARTED AT AROUND 70,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. AM TAKING CAR TO MY MECHANIC BUT AM READING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2012 FORD EDGES. WHY ISN'T THERE AR ECAL WHEN THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE! IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF, BUT WHEN, THIS WILL BE A SERIOUS MULTI-CASUALTY ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. DO PEOPLE NEED TO DIE/BECOME VEGETABLES BEFORE ANYTHING WILL BE DONE SO THAT FORD TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR MECHANICAL/DESIGN FLAWS THAT CAN DESTROY LIVES AND PROPERTY???????

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE STALLS AND LOSSES ALL POWER, NO STEERING, BRAKES ARE HARD TO APPLY. THIS IS EXTREMELY SCARY IN TRAFFIC
