2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

MY 2012 FORD EDGE CONTINUES TO ALERT AS I AM DRIVING THAT MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IN REALITY IT IS NOT. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS BECAUSE IT DISTRACTS ME AS I AM DRIVING DUE TO THE RED ALERT POSTED ON THE PANEL ALONG WITH THE HIGH PITCH BEEP/ALARM AS THE WARNING. I THAN HAVE TO CONTINUALLY HIT THE RESET BUTTON WITH MY LEFT THUMB IN ORDER TO SILENCE THE WARNING UNTIL IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN WITHIN SECONDS. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT IT IS VERY COMMON WITHIN THESE FORD VEHICLES. IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IF THIS COULD BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE FOR MANY MONTHS NOW. ONE STAGE OBSERVATION IS THAT THE AFOREMENTIONED MALFUNCTION BECOMES OCCURS MUCH MORE OFTEN ONCE THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE EXCEEDS 65 DEGREES OR HIGHER FOR SOME REASON. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE HAS ROLLED OFF IN PARK AND DID DAMAGE TO VEHICLE THE FIRST TIME. THIS WAS WHEN IT CROSSED THE HIGHWAY AND LANDED IN CREEK.WHEN I HAD IT REPAIRED I WAS TOLD IT PROBABLY HAPPENED WITH PREVIOUS OWNER BECAUSE IT HAD AN AFTERMARKET FRONT BUMPER ON IT. I WAS SITTING IN VEHICLE A FEW WEEKS LATER AND IT ROLLED IN THE PARKING LOT AND I HAD TO SHOVE EMERGENCY BRAKE DOWN. FOUND A RECALL THAT LOOKS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE BUT THE CLAIM IS THAT MY VIN WAS NOT AFFECTED, BUT MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR SHOWS OPEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. EVEN AFTER SLAMMING DOOR. SENSOR SHOWS DOOR OPEN ANY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED.

DOOR ADJAR SWITCH MALFUNCTIONING AND SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, AND DOORS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES. EVEN WHEN DOOR IS SECURELY SLAMMED SHUT. THIS CAUSES A WARNING TO APPEAR ON THE DASH, THE "DINGING" CONTINUES EVERY TIME THE BRAKE IS RELEASED, THE DOME LIGHT REMAINS ON FOR A FEW MINUTES WHEN BEGINNING DRIVING (DANGEROUS AT NIGHT) AND REMAINS ON AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE (BECAUSE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN.) THIS HAS CAUSED MY BATTERY TO DRAIN TWICE. THE DOME LIGHT IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF. I HAVE "FIXED" THE PROBLEM BY USING "KEYBOARD CLEANER". HOWEVER, THIS ONLY "FIXES" THE PROBLEM FOR A DAY OR TWO. I HAVE HAD THIS ON-GOING PROBLEM FOR 2.5 YEARS. THE PROBLEM STARTED RIGHT WHEN THE CAR HIT 30,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO PROPERLY CLOSE WHILE THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SAYS IS AJAR WHEN IT IS CLOSED. THIS IS WHEN PARKED OR IN DRIVE. INDICATOR WILL NOT GO OFF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I SHUT THE DOOR.

WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL TURN ON AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE THE DOOR THE ALARM WILL NOT TURN OFF NOR THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON AND THE DOOR AJAR ALARM IS ON CONSTANTLY.

DOOR AJAR WARNING WILL NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN DRIVING AND LOCKING VEHICLE, CREATING EXTRA DRAIN ON BATTERY AND POOR VISIBILITY DURING NIGHT DRIVING. INITIALLY, IT WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN DOOR WAS SLAMMED SHUT, BUT IS NOW CONTINUOUS.
