2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

THE DRIVER'S DOOR APPEARS TO CLOSE PROPERLY HOWEVER A WARNING LIGHT STATING THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR COMES ON. I OPEN AND CLOSE THE 2 OR 3 TIMES WITH A HARD SLAM AND THE LIGHT GOES OUT. THE CAR DOORS WILL NOT LOCK IF THIS WARNING LIGHT IS ON. I AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT THE FORD DEALER AT A COST OF NEARLY $400. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM ON THE EDGE. THE CAR HAS APPROX 42,000 MILES.

THE "DOOR AJAR" SENSOR SEEMS TO BE BROKEN INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR COME ON (OR NOT GO OFF) MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AND VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I NEARLY COLLIDED WITH A PARKED CAR WHEN TURNING AS THE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED BECAUSE OF IT.

DOOR AJAR WARNING COMES ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. DOORS WON'T LOCK, LIGHTS STAY ON. THE DOOR DOESN'T SEEM TO BE OPEN, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MIGHT OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE DOORS NOT LOCKING AND LIGHTS REMAINING ON ARE SAFETY CONCERNS WHEN I AM DRIVING. THIS STARTED HAPPENING A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR EVERY FEW DAYS. *TR

2012 FORD EDGE, "DRIVERS DOOR AJAR" MESSAGE ON CONSTANTLY. DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN VEHICLE STARTED!! INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN LIT AND BATTERY DRAINS! MESSAGE SAYS TO "PUT CAR IN PARK AND CLOSE DRIVERS DOOR". DOOR CLOSES WITHOUT ISSUE BUT DRIVERS DOOR AJAR MESSAGE DOES NOT GO AWAY. SUSPECT SWITCH IS BAD IN DOOR. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED AFTER STARTING VEHICLE!! COULD LEAD TO CARJACKING THEFT OR MY WIFE AND CHILDREN BEING STRANDED IF BATTERY DIES. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY!!

MY FORD EDGE,2012, HAD A "DOOR AJAR" WARNING AND IT REQUIRED SLAMMING THE DOOR VERY HARD TO GET THE WARNING REMOVED. MY LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON AFTER I PARKED AND AGAIN REQUIRE SLAMMING THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES. MY BACK UP CAMERA WILL WORK AND THEN NOT WORK MAKING THAT SAFETY FEATURE UNRELIABLE! I HAD THE DOOR LATCH REPLACED AT A COST OF 325 DOLLARS. OTHER FORD PRODUCTS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THESE PROBLEMS AND ARE UNDER A RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS NOT THE RESULT OF CARELESS TREATMENT BY MY WIFE OR ME. WE ARE BOTH OVER 70 YEARS OLD.

REAR LEFT DOOR AJAR OPEN ALARM DON'T DOES EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. IT RANDOMLY WORKS AND CAUSE CENTRE LOCK NOT LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY! PLEASE HELP ME TO KEEP MY KIDS SAVE. THANKS

ISSUE - 'SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING INDICATOR IS SHOWN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND THE SHIFTER IS IN THE 'P' POSITION. DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED AND INTERNAL/EXTERNAL LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHILE IN THIS 'SHIFT TO PARK' POSITION DRAINING THE BATTERY. WHILE FOOT BRAKE PEDAL IS ENGAGED, SHIFTING AWAY FROM 'P' AND BACK TO 'P' SOMETIMES REGISTERS THE VEHICLE AS IN THE CORRECT PARK POSITION. REPEAT UNTIL WARNING MESSAGE IS GONE. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY ON A FLAT SURFACE BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THE VEHICLE IS REALLY PARKED SINCE IT'S WARNING I'M NOT BUT THE SHIFTER IS IN THE 'P' POSITION. I DARE NOT TRY THIS ON A HILL--AND ALWAYS THE BRAKE PEDAL ENGAGED WHILE I'M FIDDLING WITH THE HAND SHIFTER. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK FOR A YEAR. *TR

AFTER CLOSING THE FRONT DRIVERS DOOR, THE DASH LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED AND LATCHED. I PUSH ON THE DOOR AND THE LATCH HAS CAUGHT. WHILE DRIVING, THE SYSTEM STILL SEES THE DOOR AS UNLATCHED. I HAVE PLAYED WITH THE LATCHING MECHANISM AND I CAN GET THE SENSOR TO SEE THE DOOR CLOSED IN ABOUT 1 OUT OF 50 ATTEMPTS. MOST OF THE TIME I DRIVE AROUND WITH THE SYSTEM SEEING THE DOOR AS OPEN. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT CHANGED BECAUSE I FEAR THE REPLACEMENT WILL FAIL TOO. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER WORKED ON SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT MY NEW 2012 EDGE BRAND NEW.. I NOTICED THIS WEEK THAT THE BRAKE DOESN'T DEPRESS WHEN STARTING UNTIL AFTER IT STARTS.. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM BRAKING WHEN DRIVING. *TR

WHEN DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED.. DRIVER DOOR AJAR AWARENESS SIGNAL AND ALARM GOES OFF AND CONTINUOUSLY REPEATS AND INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON.
