2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

THERE IS AN ISSUE RELATED TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH. THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK THE CONSTANTLY CHIMES THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED. EVEN AFTER MANUALLY LOCKING THE DOOR, THE LOCKS POP BACK UP. INITIALLY THE PROBLEM STARTED PERIODICALLY AND COULD BE CORRECTED BY OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN SIMPLY OPENING THE WINDOW TRIPPED THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT BEING ABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND HAVE THE CONSTANT CHIME AND INTERIOR LIGHTS ON.

WHEN I TRY TO STOP THE BRAKES GET HARD AND THE VEHICLE DONT' STOP. I CAN'T USED THIS VEHICLE

DOOR AJAR LIGHTS KEEP COMING ON, INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, INDICATOR TELLS ME THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR AND TO SHIFT TRANSMISSION INTO PARK...SHOULD I DO THAT?WHILE DRIVING ? BEEPING CONSTANTLY, MY WIFE VERY NERVOUS WHILE DRIVING NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO. INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT AND WON'T GO OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE DOORS WERE STILL OPEN. THE DOME LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

DOOR AJAR WARING ON DASH APPEARS WITH DOORS FULLY CLOSED AND KEEPS INTERIOR LIGHTS ON FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME SO THAT THE CAR BATTERY BECOMES DRAINED. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS QUOTED $500 FOR THE REPAIR. OUTRAGEOUS!

I KEEP GETTING A DOOR AJAR WARNING EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT. THEREFORE MY LIGHTS STAY ON EXTRA AND MY AUTO DOOR LOCKS WONT LOCK, AND I HAVE A CHILD IN THE REAR SEAT SO THE CHILD COULD OPEN THE DOOR IF I DON'T MANUALLY LOCK THEM...NOT SAFE!. UPON SEARCHING, THE DOOR SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS NO EASY TASK. FORD SHOULD REPLACE FOR NO FEE.

DOOR AJAR SWITCH DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. WHEN DOOR IS CLOSE, IT SAYS ITS OPEN AND ALL INTERIOR LIGHT REMAIN ON. DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND BATTERY WILL RUN DOWM

SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT POST TO FORD. OUR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR A FEW MONTHS....ONE REPAIR AFTER ANOTHER. I HAVE NOTED THE DATE OF THE "UNABLE TO TURN OFF LIGHTS"ISSUE BUT HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR ALL REPAIRS THIS YEAR.

SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER DOOR/DOOR LATCH. WHEN FULLY CLOSED, A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STATING "PASSENGER DOOR AJAR". NOW, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED. IF YOU TRY TO LOCK THEM, THEY UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. DEALER WON'T FIX AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

FREQUENTLY A WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON STATING THAT THE COLLISION WARNING CENSOR IS BLOCKED. AS A RESULT THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK AND THE COLLISION WARNING FEATURE IS ALSO NOT WORKING. BY PRESSING AN 'OK' BUTTON THE WARNING LIGHT GOES AWAY AND THE SYSTEM SEEMS TO WORK PROPERLY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP BUT NOT ALL BUMPS. THE DEALER HAS QUOTED ME A PRICE OF NEARLY $2000 TO REPLACE THE WARNING CENSOR, AND BRACKET. HOWEVER, I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THE CENSOR IS DEFECTIVE SINCE IT OFTEN WORKS PROPERLY.
