2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WITH THE PANORAMIC VISTA SCREEN HALF OPEN, WHEN THE PLASTIC CLIPS BROKE(PARTS THAT MOVE THE SCREEN OPEN/CLOSE) THE VISTA SCREEN SLAMMED BACK AS FAR AS IT COULD GO, FOR A SECOND I THOUGHT THE ENTIRE GLASS HAD BROKEN AND I WAS IN FOR A WORLD OF HURT! THIS COULD CAUSE AN EXTREME SAFETY RISK IF THE GLASS HAD SHATTERED.

THE 2010-2013 FORD EDGE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER, HOWEVER, AFTER TWO REPLACEMENTS OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER ALONE, I AM CONTINUING TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. THE TIME FOR MY VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP HAS TRIPLED, IF NOT MORE. I HAD THE INITIAL REPLACEMENT DONE AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES AND AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AT 82,000. THE BRAKES FEEL SPONGY AND WHILE THEY DO NOT COMPLETELY FAIL, THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STOPPING TIME IS SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS IN ALL CONDITIONS.

THE WARNING 'DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR' IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE WARNING IS DISPLAYED ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED AND WILL REMAIN ON WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS STARTED, THE WARNING MAY OR MAY NOT DISPLAY BUT IT DOES NOT CHANGE WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT THE WARNING IS DISPLAYED ABOUT 1/2 OF THE TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. IF THE WARNING IS DISPLAYED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME AND THE DOORS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, THE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED BY PRESSING THE RIGHT MOST TWO BUTTONS OF THE DOOR COMBINATION LOCK PANEL AND THE LIGHTS UNDER THE MIRRORS REMAIN LIT FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE IMPACTED BY TEMPERATURE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 FORD EDGE LIMITED WITH LESS THAN 60000 MILES THE VEHICLE JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, NO STEERING, NO POWER NOTHING. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED CLOSE TO 15 TIMES.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR LIGHTS UP FOR DRIVERS DOOR WHEN IT IS SECURELY SHUT. THIS MAKES THE DOME LIGHT STAY ON AND CONSTANT WARNINGS PLACE UNNECESSARY STRAIN ON BATTERY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AS WELL. JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN JULY 2017 USED AND IT BEGAN THIS ISSUE IN SEPTEMBER 2017.

DOOR LATCH FAILURE, CAUSING DOOR AJAR WARNING TO STAY ON AND BATTERY TO DRAIN. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE LEFT SHOULDER AND ARM PAIN FROM OPENING AND CLOSING IT REPEATEDLY, UNTIL THE LATCH CLOSES AND SENDS SIGNAL TO CONTROL PANEL THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. I HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS BECAUSE I WORK AT NIGHT AND DON'T WANT A STALLED VEHICLE OR NO LIGHTS IN MY CAR WHEN I RETURN TO IT. ALSO IS CONCERNS FOR SAFETY OF PASSENGERS AND CHILDREN IN CAR WITH ME. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON LATCHES ON OTHER FORD VEHICLES, WHY NOT THIE FORD EDGE TOO? I'M SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TRADING MY VEHICLE IF NOT FIXED. THIS IS MY FIRST FORD AND MAYBE MY LAST ONE IF IT ISN'T FIXED SOON!

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THE ISSUE IS CAUSING LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND DRAINING BATTERY. ALARM SYSTEM CANNOT BE ACTIVATED BECAUSE IT WILL GO OFF UNEXPECTEDLY IF IT SENSES THAT THE DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED.

THE DOOR LATCH IS FAULTY. IT IS TELLING ME THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS CLOSED. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHICH WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY TO DIE.

FAULTY DOOR LATCH SENSOR ON REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON AS WELL. THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAY ON EVEN AFTER THE CAR IS SHUT OFF CAUSING DRAINING OF THE BATTERY. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT HAS EVEN COME ON WHEN DRIVING. PROBLEM STARTED OVER A MONTH AGO AND HAS BEEN SPORADICALLY HAPPENING

VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPS GOING, NO ACCELERATION. HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING, FORCING YOU TO GET OFF THE ROAD. MUST SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART. CREATES A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHERE YOU CAN BE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65 MPH & SUDDENLY HAVE NO POWER! ENGINE IS RUNNING BUT THERE'S NO ACCELERATION WHATSOEVER. MY WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT & I HAVE LESS THAN 36000.0 MILES ON THIS CAR! ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE TRAVELING WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE NO WAY OF PREPARING & PUTS YOUR LIFE IN JEOPARDY.
