2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

DOOR AJAR LIGHT SAYS ON WHILE DRIVING - DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON IN PARK STARTED AT 36,000 MILES

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SWITCH THAT SENSES WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN IS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. THEREFORE THE COMPUTER THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN AT ALL TIMES. THIS CAUSES THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS TO STAY ON WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE, AND ALSO PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM BEING LOCKED WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. ONLINE SEARCHES INDICATE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT'S NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE DESIGN OF THE DOOR SWITCH SEEMS FAULTY, AS IT REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT LABOR TO DISASSEMBLE THE DOOR AND REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. THIS OCCURS WHILE CAR IS PARKED AS WELL AS WHEN IT IS IN MOTION.

BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE NOT WORKING. AND MAKE A HISSING NOIES AND PETAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR WHEN PUSHED. BOTH WHEN DRIVING OR AT A STAND STILL.

THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS TURN ON AT ANYTIME INCLUDING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN OFF IS TO DISCONNECT WIRE. WE HAVE CAR IN TO GARAGE AND THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE!! THEY 1ST SAID WOULD COST UP TO $600 BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT PROBLEM WAS NOW THEY ARE SAYING A MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED AND WILL COST OVER $1100. I DID SEE ON LINE WHERE THERE WAS A RECALL THAT STATED THE MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, AND FORD WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE BILLED FOR THIS SINCE THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND MODULE IS ONLY FIX. THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN MOTION FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IT HAS HAPPENED EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED!!

PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL SPEEDS AND STATIONARY. SAFETY OF MYSELF AND CHILDREN ARE IN JEPARDY BECAUSE MY CAR NO LONGER LOCKS. WE WILL BE TRADING THIS VEHICLE IN. SAFETY ISN'T SOMETHING YOU RISK. EXTREMELY UPSETTING. WITH ALLL OF THE ISSUES POSTED THAT FORD HASN'T SENT A RECALL ON THIS.

MY "DOOR AJAR" CONTINUES TO STAY ON AND I CANNOT ALARM THE CAR AS IT SHOWS THE DRIVERS DOOR AS UNLOCKED. I FOUND OUT THAT THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS FAULTY AND WILL COST ME AROUND $450 TO CORRECT. FOR A 6-YEAR-OLD CAR, THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT SO SOON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CONSTANTLY INDICATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN, IN FACT, THE DOOR WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

BRAKES FELT WEAK AND MADE "HISSING" SOUND. TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC HAD NEW FRONT AND REAR BRAKES INSTALLED. DRIVING HOME NOTICED BRAKES STILL FELT SOMEWHAT WEAK AND HISSING SOUND STILL EXISTS. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE PROGRAM ISSUED FOR MY CAR DUE TO BAD BRAKE BOOSTER! NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE. FOUND MANY POSTS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAS SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS. HOW IN THE WORLD COULD THE NTSB ALLOW FORD TO GET AWAY WITH NO RECALL??? IF SOMEONE DIES OR GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM THIS ISSUE THE NTSB WILL BEAR SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FOR ALLOWING FORD TO GET AWAY WITH NO RECALL. 13N02 ' EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON BRAKE BOOSTER ' 2010-2013 FORD EDGE & LINCOLN MKX

WHEN I SHUT MY DRIVER DOOR THE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING "DRIVER DOOR AJAR". I HAVE TO KEEP SHUTTING/SLAMMING THE DOOR TO CLEAR ALARM. AT MOST IT WILL NOT GO OFF. WHEN I START TO DRIVE WITH ALL THE DOORS CLOSED ALL DOORS SHOULD LOCK AND THEY DON'T BECAUSE THE DOOR IS OPEN. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND I DON'T THINK IT'S SAFE. WHEN I HIT MY KEY TO LOCK THE DOORS AFTER I GET OUT MY INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHICH IS CAUSING LOW BATTERY! THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! FOR YOU TO PROVIDE VEHICLES TO THE WORLD SAFETY IS A MUST AND THEIR ARE SO MANY OTHERS OUT THERE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM WHY BE SO SLOW TO CORRECT IT!!
