2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS CONTINUOUSLY COMING ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED,INTERIOR LIGHTS COMING ON AND NIGHT, BLINDING DRIVER. LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SWITCH IS NOT WORKING WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING OR LEAVE LIGHTS ON TO DRAIN THE BATTERY WHEN PARKED.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR FAILURE: 2012 FORD EDGE LEFT REAR PASSENGER "DOOR AJAR" SENSOR FAILS TO INDICATE WHEN DOOR IS SHUT/LOCKED INDICATING IT MAY STILL BE OPEN/UNLOCKED. THE SENSOR FAILURE AFFECTS THE FOLLOWING: - ALARM/INTRUSION DETECTION: SECURITY SYSTEM DOES NOT SET PROPERLY AND WILL ACTIVATE RANDOMLY IF SET. ATTEMPTING TO SET ALARM RESULTS IN THREE ABNORMAL HORN BLASTS INDICATING A DOOR IS AJAR. IN THIS STATE, ALARM WILL SOUND RANDOMLY WHICH IS HIGHLY DISRUPTIVE TO NEIGHBORS. IT IS UNSURE WHETHER THIS MODEL CAN LOCK WITHOUT SECURITY SYSTEM ENABLED, FORCING THE VEHICLE TO BE LEFT UNLOCKED. - ELECTRIC / BATTERY: DOME LIGHTS, AND OTHER DASH INDICATORS DO NOT SECURE MANUALLY AND CAUSE SEVERE BATTERY DRAINAGE. EXPENSIVE BATTERY REPLACEMENTS. - SAFETY: SMALL CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS, UNSURE IF DOORS ARE PROPERLY SECURED, DOUBT AND PEACE OF MIND IN FORD. THE ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 2016. VEHICLE WAS PARKED. AT FIRST THE DOOR COULD BE OPENED AND RE-SHUT WITH FORCE AND SENSOR WOULD SELF CORRECT, BUT ULTIMATELY IT WOULD FAIL ALTOGETHER. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. FORD, WHERE IS THE RECALL!?

REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, HAVE DRAINED 2 CAR BATTERIES, THE ALARM GOES OFF AT RANDOM AND THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. HAD TO PULL CABIN LIGHTING FUSE TO STOP BATTERY FROM DRAINING. THE INDICATION IS CONSTANTLY ON THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IN DOOR IS ACTUALLY AJAR OR NOT.

THE DOOR AJAR IS ON PERMANENTLY WHEN THE DOOR ISN'T AJAR. LIGHTS ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM VIA OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS MODEL

FOR THE 2ND TIME IN 2 YEARS MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND IN MOTION WHICH LEAVES THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS ON AND THE DOORS UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING. THE OVERHEAD LIGHT ON AT NIGHT AND THE DOORS UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING IS DANGEROUS AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS SAFETY RELATED FOR A SECOND TIME IN 2 YEARS. *TR

THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND THIS LEAVES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHICH IS A NIGHTTIME DRIVING HAZARD. THE DEALER SAYS THE LATCH IS DEFECTIVE AND FORD WILL NOT ASSIST IN THE REPAIR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING AND STATIONARY. DUE TO THE HIGH COST (OVER $550.00) PEOPLE ARE GOING TO IGNORE THE REPAIR AND THEN DRIVE IMPAIRED. SO HOW MANY ACCIDENTS ARE REQUIRED BEFORE FORD IS FORCED TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT, WAITED FOR A WHILE, AND RESUMED DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,894.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND A WRENCH POPS UP ON THE DASH. LAT TIME IT HAPPEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN AN INTERSECTION . THAN 2 MORE TIMES IN A 4 MILE DRIVE . WE HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE AND HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO AND THAT WORKED TILL NOW. MY WIFE IS TO SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND I CANT SAY I BLAME HER . *TR

A WARNING LIGHT IS DISPLAYED STATING THE PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS NOT. THE DOOR CAN BE REPEATEDLY OPENED AND CLOSED ATTEMPTING TO MAKE THE WARNING LIGHT GO OFF, IT DOES NOT WORK THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF, WHICH MAKES DRIVING A HAZARD. ALSO, THE DOOR WILL NOT LOOK WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON. ANOTHER SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
