2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

EARLIER THIS MONTH (AUGUST 2016) THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED LIT ON MY 2012 FORD EDGE. BROUGHT TO STEVENS FORD IN MILFORD CT. TOLD IT THAT THE SENSOR WIRE/DEVICE WAS "FRAYED" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR PERSON SAID THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE SEAT MOVING BACK/FORTH. WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. COST TO FIX WAS OVER $400. MY ISSUE IS THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS BARELY USED. THE SENSOR/WIRE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN "FRAYED" BY MINIMAL USE. WAS TOLD IF I DIDN'T FIX THAT THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY. THERE IS A FLAW IN THEIR DESIGN IF THIS SENSOR IS IN AN AREA WHERE IT CAN BE DAMAGED EASILY.

TAKATA RECALL DOOR AJAR LITE COMES ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN HWY OR ROAD HAD TO REPLACE 2

BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR CLOSED SENSORS STOPPED WORKING. THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND THE DOOR LOCKS TO UNLOCK WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO GO OUT ONCE I REACH 10 MPH BUT THERE IS NO VISIBILITY WHEN BACKING UP AT NIGHT MAKING IT DANGEROUS FOR ME AND ANYONE THAT MIGHT BE BEHIND ME.

INSTRUMENT PANEL SAYING PASSENGER DOOR AJAR WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED WHEN DRIING. CAR LOCKS DO NOT LOCK DUE TO THIS MESSAGE ALSO, SEVERAL TIMES ALARM HAS GONE OFF ON ITS OWN BOTH ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR TWO YEARS ALSO, WHILE DRIVING THERE SOMETIMES HAS BEEN A NOISE LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING INCORRECTLY

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST WEEK, THE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR ALARM SOUNDED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE DOOR LOCKS DISENGAGED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO RE-CLOSE THE DOOR; WHICH SILENCED THE ALARM; BUT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON. AS I PULLED OUT AND GOT BACK UP TO THE SPEED THE LOCKS WOULD NORMALLY ENGAGE, THE DRIVERS DOOR ALARM SOUNDED AGAIN, INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ON AND LOCKS NEVER ENGAGED, EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE LOCK BUTTON. PULLED OVER A 2ND TIME - WITH THE SAME RESULT. THE THIRD TIME I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND SAT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. AGAIN, THE SAME PLUS THE SHIFT INTO PARK ALARM ALSO SOUNDED AS SOON AS I REACHED SPEED WHEN THE LOCKS SHOULD ENGAGE. I CONTINUED HOME LISTENING TO 2 ALARMS BLARE, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS LIMITING MY VIEW AND THE DOORS REFUSING TO LOCK. WHEN I GOT HOME, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON FOR ALMOST AN HOUR AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE; IT WASN'T UNTIL I PULLED THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE A COUPLE TIMES THAT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. THE NEXT MORNING, MY DRIVE TO WORK WAS UNEVENTFUL; THAT EVENING ON MY WAY HOME, BOTH ALARMS ARE GOING OFF, INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. ON THE SECOND EVENING, I NOTICED THE DOOR AJAR WARNING NEVER CAME ON AFTER I STARTED THE VEHICLE UNTIL I REACHED THE SPEED THE DOOR LOCKS SHOULD HAVE ENGAGED.

LIGHT COMES ON SAYING DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN, COME TO A STOP STARTS DINGING SHIFT TO PARK. CAR CANT BE LOCKED AT TIMES, AND WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING. LIGTS WILL STAY ON RUNNING DOWN THE BATTERY IF YOU DONT TURN THEM OFF INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME TAKING TO DEALERSHIP, FORD CUSTOMER CARE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN BOTH INSTANCES, COST TO REPAIR IS OVER $600.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALTHOUGH THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. AS A RESULT, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE DIAGNOSES WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,346.

LIGHT COMES ON SAYING DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN, COME TO A STOP STARTS DINGING SHIFT TO PARK. I AM DRIVING RIGHT NOW. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU OPEN DOOR AT NIGHT LIGHTS DON'T COME ON. DOORS NOT LOCKED AND OPEN DOOR ALARM GOES OFF. CAR HAS BEEN AT DEALER 3 TIMES LAST YEAR THEY HAD IT FOR A WHOLE WEEK, NOW PROBLEM IS STARTED AGAIN BUT MUCH WORSE

DOOR LATCH ON DRIVER SIDE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, SO LIGHTS IN THE CAR STAY ON AND DOORS CAN'T BE LOCKED. BEEPING SIGNAL IS ALWAYS ON AS IS SAFETY SHIFT TO PARK WARNING. VERY UNSAFE AND DISTRACTING. I HAVE TO MENTION THAT THIS WAS"FIXED" UNDER WARRANTY BUT CAME BACK SHORTLY AFTER AGAIN.

DASH SHOWING DRIVERS DOOR IS AJAR AND IT IS CLOSED, THE INTEARER LIGHT STAYS ON AND IS A DISTRACTION DRIVING AT NITE TIME WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT
