2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

DOOR AJAR SENSOR FAILED AND SAYS DOORS ARE OPEN WHEN THEY ARE LATCHED. YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN DRIVING WITH THIS ALARM. *TR

DOOR AJAR SENSOR ...THIS IS CAUSING MY DOME LIGHTS TO JUST COME ON GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND TANK GOODNESS WHEN THIS HAPPENED THERE WASN'T ANOTHER CAR NEAR ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO THEM BECAUSE IT BLINDED ME. ALSO MY DOORS WANT LOCK WHEN THIS SENSOR IS MESSING UP. I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE REPLACED AND NOW ANOTHER ONE I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND FORD WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT GOES ON, EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, WHICH LEADS TO ISSUES AT TIMES WITH THE DOOR CLOSING. FORD IS AWARE ITS AN ISSUE, HAS BEEN REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY, AND THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL ON IT. DRAINS THE BATTERY AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

SOMETIMES WHEN THE ABS ACTIVATES THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY SOFT, YOU CAN STILL STOP BUT YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE BRAKING FOR THE FIRST 3/4 OF THE PEDAL. I HAVE FIGURED OUT THAT I CAN REST THE ABS CONTROL MODULE BY GOING IN TO THE CAR WASH AND ACTIVATING THE ABS A FEW TIMES. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE HCU AND I COULD HAVE ONE PUT IN BUT THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A DESIGN FAILURE AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. ITS ONLY HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN DRIVING DURING ICY CONDITIONS BUT IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

DRIVERS DOOR WILL NOT LOCK, ICON ON DASH SAYS "DRIVERS DOOR ADJAR"' WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN STOPPED, EVEN MOMENTARILY THE "SHIFT TO PARK" LOGO APPEARS, AND A CHIME SOUNDS. UNABLE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED AS THE FACTORY ALARM STARTS SOUNDING DEPENDING ON THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE.

FORD EDGE LEFT REAR DOOR LATCH FAILING. THE LATCH SENSOR RANDOMLY FAULTS AND IT'S UNCLEAR IF THE DOOR IS PROPERLY LATCHED OR NOT. THE ALARM WILL SOUND RANDOMLY AS THE SENSOR FAILS WHILE THE CAR IS LOCKED. THIS COULD CAUSE A SITUATION WHERE THE DOOR IS NOT PROPERLY CLOSED BUT THE SENSOR SAYS IT IS. PASSENGERS IN THE CAR COULD BE EJECTED. LATCH FAULTS WHEN STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. THIS HAS CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYING ON ALL THE TIME. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP, THE "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING COMES ON ALONG WITH THE DOOR CHIME. FORD CLAIMS IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND QUOTED ~$400 TO REPLACE (~$250 IF IT COULD BE "REPAIRED"). A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE AJAR LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. DUE TO THIS, WE CAN NO LONGER LOCK THE REAR DOOR WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE LOCATION OF OUR CHILD'S SEAT! ALSO, WE NO LONGER CAN TELL IF THE DOORS ARE PROPERLY CLOSED OR NOT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON. CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND INTERIOR LIGHT COME ON DUE TO DOOR AJAR ISSUE. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WHILE CAR IS MOVING DUE TO ISSUE MAKING THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WILL OFTEN REMAIN ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLEARLY CLOSED. THE LIGHT WILL ALSO RANDOMLY COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE, MAKING NIGHT DRIVING ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS. *TR

DRIVER DOOR SENSOR KEEPS TELLING ME THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS NOT. IT WILL DO THIS WHILE YOU ARE CRUISING DOWN THE FREEWAY CAUSING YOU TO FREAK OUT THINKING ONE OF THE KIDS HAS OPENING A DOOR IN THE BACK SEAT! THIS WILL BE THE 2ND TIME I'VE HAD TO TAKE THIS IN TO BE FIXED SINCE OWNING THE CAR, WHICH IS COMING UP ON ONE YEAR.
