2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

WHEN YOU CLOSE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON. ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STILL LIT. THEY EVENTUALLY GO OFF ONCE YOU START DRIVING BUT WHEN YOU STOP IT DINGS, TELLING YOU TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK DUE TO THE DOOR BEING AJAR. YOU CAN NOT LOCK ANY OF THE DOORS AT ALL, WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. DUE TO THIS ISSUE IT CAN DRAIN YOUR BATTERY IF YOU DON'T SHUT THE DOOR OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL IT REGISTERS THE DOOR IS CLOSED.

DRIVER DOOR ALARM/SENSOR/LIGHT. THE DOOR LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON AFTER THE DOOR IS CLOSED. IT WILL DING AFTER I LET MY FOOD OFF OF THE BREAK, THE REST OF MY DOORS WILL NOT LOCK (SAFETY HAZARD I HAVE TWO KIDS. THE KIDS ARE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR WHEN I AM MOVING, I HAVE TO HAVE THEM PUSH THE LOCK DOWN SO IT WILL BE LOCKED), WE CONTINUE TO SHUT THE DOOR TO MAKE IT GO OFF. THIS HAS CLEARLY HAPPENED TO OTHER 2012 FORD EDGE MODELS. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX AND IT A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY, PARKED, ON, OFF, DRIVING, WHAT EVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES IT'S HAPPENING. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE NOT TO LEAVE THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION OR THE BATTERY WILL RUN DOWN.

DOOR JAR LIGHT REMAINS ON (DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR). DRAINS BATTERY, CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHT TO TURN ON WHILE DRIVING. IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SWITCHES IN THE 2011-13 FORD EDGE AND FORD IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING. WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE THE DOOR AJAR APPEARS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. WHEN LEFT LIKE THIS, AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE THE DOOR, THE ALARM WILL START SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THIS WAS A REPAIR THAT HAD TO BE DONE AS SOON AS I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEN AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN PERIODICALLY.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AFTER CLOSING MY DOOR, WHETHER PARKED OR IN MOTION. I WOULD HAVE TO CLOSE IT 5-10, SOMETIMES MORE TIMES, TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. EVEN IF I SLAMMED THE DOOR SOMETIMES THE LIGHT STILL WOULDN'T GO OFF, AND THE WARNING SIGNAL WOULD CHIME AS I DROVE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A HONDA DEALER, AND THE SALESMAN TOLD ME IT WAS LIKELY JUST A SENSOR ISSUE, SO I IGNORED IT FOR A MONTH OR SO BEFORE TAKING IT IN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHEN I THOUGHT I COULD AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY DID DIAGNOSTICS ON IT AND TOLD ME IT WASN'T JUST THE SENSOR, THAT THE DOOR WAS ACTUALLY OPEN BECAUSE THE LATCH WASN'T CLOSING PROPERLY. THEY TOLD ME IF I GOT IN A WRECK MY DOOR COULD FLY OPEN, SO I LET THEM REPAIR IT. THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE LOCK ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE ATTACHED MY INVOICE FOR RECORD OF THE REPAIRS MADE AND THE COST.

THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR COMES ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN IF THE DOOR APPEAR CLOSED. EVEN OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR DOES NOR SEEMS TO HELP. DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, IT IS NEVER CLEAR WHETHER THE DOOR IS SAFETY CLOSED OR NOT.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING, DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. HAS ALREADY RAN BATTERY DOWN AND ALMOST STRANDED. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND NEVER BEEN MISTREATED AND GARAGE KEPT.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TURN OFF UNLESS THE DOOR IS SHUT MULTIPLE TIMES. IT MAY ALSO TURN ON WHEN DRIVING AS WELL.

DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH IS NOT REGISTERING AS CLOSED. LIGHTS STAY ON, I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS. MY BATTERY DIES IF IT IS NOT "SHUT". A LOT OF MONEY LOSS IN BATTERIES AND TIME LOST IN STANDING IN SOMETIMES SNOW OR RAIN FOR MINUTES TRYING TO GET IT TO REGISTER. ALSO, I HAVE CHILDREN AND WOULD PREFER MY CHILD IS UNABLE TO OPEN THEIR DOOR WHILE IN MOTION. PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND IT STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AFTER A MONTH. I FIND IT SHOCKING THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS. IT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND VERY WELL KNOWN WITH DEALERSHIPS AND REPAIR SHOPS, BUT THE FIXING PRICE IS AROUND $500.

I COULD BARELY STOP THE CAR. I WAS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND THERE WAS NO FORD DEALER IN THAT TOWN. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY SAID I SHOULD NOT DRIVE OVER A MOUNTAIN PASS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAD IT FIXED AND NOW FORD IS REFUSING TO PAY ME BACK. THEY STATE IT IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL.
