2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

DOOR SENSOR ON THE DRIVERS DOOR DOESN'T PROPERLY SENSE WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS LEADS TO THE CAR TO CONTINUALLY BEEP AT THE DRIVER AND REFUSES TO LOCK THE DOORS, ALLOWING FOR KIDS/OTHER PASSENGERS TO OPEN THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION.

MY 'DRIVER DOOR AJAR' WARNING SHOWS UP WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND SECURED. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME, BUT, OFTEN ENOUGH. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE SWITCH.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WAS LIT AND WARNING CHIME SOUNDED EVERY TIME I STOPPED WHEN THE DOOR WAS NOT OPEN.

THE DOOR ADJAR SENSOR IS BAD. FORD HAS RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES FOR THIS AND THEY ARE THE SAME YEAR BUT NOT THE FORD EDGE.

OCCASIONALLY WHEN BRAKING (WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION), THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY SOFT AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE NO BRAKES FOR THE FIRST 3/4 OF THE PEDAL. EVENTUALLY YOU CAN SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU GIVE YOURSELF A LOT OF ROOM AS IT TAKES A GREATER AMOUNT OF TIME TO STOP THE VEHICLE THAN NORMAL. THIS FAILURE IS SPORADIC BUT HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS - ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS RAINING WHICH IS EVEN SCARIER AS YOU DEFINITELY WANT SOLID BRAKES WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. BUT, IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON COMPLETELY DRY DAYS. WHEN THE CAR IS ON AND IN PARK, AND YOU PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL YOU ALSO HEAR A "THUD" SOUND, AND CAN FEEL A VIBRATION IN THE GEAR SHIFT. WE HAVE BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL US NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT IT APPEARS FROM READING OTHERS' POSTS THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS FAILED. WE ARE TAKING IT IN ONE MORE TIME TOMORROW AND WILL PUSH FOR RESOLUTION, BUT THIS REALLY FEELS LIKE SOMETHING FORD SHOULD ADDRESS AS A RECALL AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

REPEATED PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. FIRST DOOR AJAR LIGHT HAS BEEN REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS (NOT LEGAL TO DRIVE WITH THEM ON) AND THEREFORE DRAINED BATTERY. SAFETY HAZARD. ECOBOAST FAILED AND WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THAT WE COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR....BIG EXPENSE! NOW A SECOND DOOR AJAR LIGHT WON'T GO OFF....DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STEP UP ON THESE ISSUES AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SPECIFIC VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THESE ISSUES WHEN MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING, AND PAYING FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE. SOMETHING SMELLS ABOUT THIS. MAJORLY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD AND NHTSA. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LISTED COMPLAINTS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WE'VE HAD OVER THE PAST YEAR.

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE DONE ON THE DOOR LET ALONE THE VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A LATCH MALFUNCTION. IF NOT CAUGHT WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE THE ALARM THEN GOES OFF AFTER AN HOUR OR SO. THE DOOR SENSOR SEEMED TO CLEAR ITSELF AND WE MANAGED TO NOT USE IT AFTER GETTING IT TO CLEAR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE WARNING POPPED BACK UP ON THE DASH, DOOR AJAR.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. UNABLE TO LOCK DOORS WHICH MAKES IT TO WHERE ANYONE CAN ET IN CAR. ALSO THE LIGHTS STAY ON SO IT DRAINS THE BATTERY. AND YOU CANT DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE INSIDE LIGHT SHINES IN YOUR EYES AND YOU CANT SEE THE ROAD.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, IT PREVENTS FROM MY DOORS FROM LOCKING AND I HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT HAS TRAPPED ME IN THE CAR, I HAD TO CLIMB OVER INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT AND EXIT OUT OF THAT DOOR. IT ALSO DRAINS MY BATTERY BECAUSE THE LIGHTS STAY ON IN THE CAR.

THE DOOR AJAR ALARM/LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT SECURELY, IN MOTION AND NOT. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU PARK THE CAR IT STAYS ON AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF OR THEY SHUT OFF AND KICK BACK ON AT RANDOM. READING SOME COMPLAINTS AND SOUNDS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM, EVEN TO THE EXTENT OF HAVING IT KILL THEIR BATTERY AND SOME HAVE HAD IT FIXED AT SHOP JUST TO HAVE THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN. FORD NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.
