2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN AN ORANGE WRENCH POPPED ON MY SCREEN AND WITH NO WARNING MY CAR STARTED JERKING AND SPUTTERING AND THEN QUIT WORKING AND COMPLETELY DECELERATED LIKE I HAD SWITCHED MY CAR IN NEUTRAL. I PRESSED THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION! I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR OUT OF THE ROADWAY USING SOME OF MY MOMENTUM BUT I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT ON AN INTERSTATE OR SOMEWHERE ELSE. I WAS TOLD MY THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACING. I LOOKED INTO THIS ISSUES WITH THE 2011 EDGE AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS A NOTICE PUT OUT ON THIS THROTTLE BODY IN OTHER VEHICLES FOR CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEM AND LEADING TO VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, HOWEVER MINE WASN'T INCLUDED EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY CAR - OIL CHANGES EVERY 5,000 MILES AND SPECIAL MAINTENANCE WHEN NECESSARY AND IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES ON IT.

DRIVING 60MPH ON HIGHWAY AND CAR WITHOUT WARNING LOST POWER AND STALLED. ON FREEWAY. VERY DANGEROUS, A SEMI HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID ME. PUT CAR IN PARK AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CARD STARTED BACK UP AND DROVE WITHOUT PROBLEMS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES WITHOUT WARNING AND AFTER A BIT OF TIME STARTS BACK UP AND DRIVES FINE.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES. IT PREVENTS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FROM GOING OFF. WHICH CAUSES DIFFICULTY DRIVING AT NIGHT OR BACKING UP.IT ALSO CAUSES THE BATTERY TO GO DEAD AND LOCKS ARE NOT SECURE ON THE DOOR

THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING IS BEING DISPLAYED AND DESPITE SLAMMING THE DOOR AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. THIS WARNING IS A RED HERRING SINCE THE PROBLEM IS REALLY THE MALFUNCTIONING DOOR LOCK. WHEN THE WARNING IS THERE, I CANNOT LOCK THE DOOR. THE QUOTES TO FIX THIS ARE RANING FROM $350 TO $500. I CANNOT USE THE CAR IF I CANNOT LOCK THAT CAR. I ALSO DO NOT KNOW : 1. IF I HAPPEN TO GET IT LOCKED, WILL IT UNLOCK. IF IT DOESN'T UNLOCK I WILL BE STRANDED. AND 2) IF THE DOOR IS TRULY AJAR BECAUSE THE LOCK IS FALING IN SOME MANNER, RISK OF THE DOOR OPENING UNEXPECTEDLY EXISTS. THEREFORE I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING MY EDGE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN I START THE CAR. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONTINUALLY FOR ABOUT A WEEK (SINCE ABOUT 9/10/2018)

MY SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK LIGHT KEEPS APPEARING THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO BUT WILL NOT BE HONORED..THIS IS AFFECTING MY VEHICLE STABILITY, TRACTION,ABS, AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE

I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM JUST SHUT OFF. AND THE PANEL SAID CHECK MANUAL. I WAS DRIVING UP A RAMP IN A PARKING LOT.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH SENSOR STAY ON INDICATING DOORS IS OPEN EVEN WHEN IT'S ALREADY CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND DRAINS BATTERY LIFE LEAVING CONSUMERS STRANDED.

TAKATA RECALL THE DOOR AJAR MESSAGE DISPLAYS ON MY 2011 FORD EDGE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY AND THE DOOR IS SHUT. THE LIGHTS STAY ILLUMINATED BECAUSE OF THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ALSO I CAN NOT LOCK MY DOORS WHEN I AM INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ENGINE IS ON WHICH IS UNSAFE IN MY OPINION. I HAVE SEEN THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE STATED THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THEIR FORD AS WELL, BUT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED.

I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHEN I TURNED ON THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE AND THE PASSENGER DOOR AJAR INDICATOR CAME ON AS WELL AS ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. EVEN THOUGHT THE DOOR LOOKED TO BE SECURELY CLOSED, I OPENED AND CLOSED THE DOOR AGAIN TO BE SURE. THE PASSENGER DOOR AJAR INDICATOR AND ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON, WHICH MADE SEEING AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. ADDITIONALLY, I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS OF THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN AT THE SHOP SAID IT WAS A FAULTY ACTUATOR AND THAT MANY FORD EDGE'S HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM.

SOON AFTER STARTING MY CAR AND PUTTING IT IN REVERSE, THE PASSENGER DOOR AJAR INDICATOR CAME ON AS WELL AS ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. THE PASSENGER DOOR LOOKED SECURELY CLOSED, BUT I TRIED CLOSING IT AGAIN TO BE SURE. THE PASSENGER DOOR AJAR INDICATOR STAYED ON AS WELL AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. SINCE THEN IT HAS STAYED ON EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. ADDITIONALLY, I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK THE CAR DOORS WHEN IT IS IN MOTION BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID THE ACTUATOR WAS FAULTY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE.
