2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON FOR DRIVER DOOR EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS CLOSED. DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AND DOORS ARE NOT ABLE TO BE LOCKED.

DOOR AJAR - DOOR SENSOR SAYS DRIVER'S DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS CLOSED. HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

WE WERE HIT FROM BEHIND BY AN 18 WHEELER IN THE HWY AND SLAMMED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US SEVERAL TIMES AND NOT 1 AIRBAG WENT OFF.

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ALARM ALWAYS GOES OFF. CONSTANT DINGING, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 1 BATTERY ALREADY. DRIVING AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN REVERSE, IS TERRIBLY DIFFICULT WITH THE LIGHTS ON. THE DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT, HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT STOP THE ALARM. THE OTHER ISSUE I'VE HAD IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE BRAKES SO GOT THOSE FIXED AND THEN STOPPING WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ENTIRELY TO THE FLOOR TO COME TO A SLOW STOP. SHOULD I HAVE HAD TO COME TO A QUICK STOP, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE. MY HUSBAND DID SOME RESEARCH TO SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SO WE WENT TO GET IT REPAIRED. HOWEVER, IT WAS COSTLY AND COULD HAVE BEEN A TOTAL DISASTER. THE CAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME.

FAULTY/FAILING DOOR LATCH SENSOR TRIGGERS "DOOR AJAR" INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SOUND WARNINGS WHILE ENGINE IS ON, CAUSING DOORS TO UNLOCK, INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON, AND CONTINUED SOUND WARNINGS WHENEVER VEHICLE ACCELERATES. WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND ENGINE IS OFF, SENSOR FAULT CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON FOR 10-MINUTE CYCLE THAT CANNOT BE MANUALLY OVERRIDDEN (PER FORD). ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS IT NOW UNDER WARRANTY OR "GOODWILL" REPAIR PROGRAM.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES RANDOMLY AND STAYS ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED AND LOCKED BOTH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND IN MOTION. THE WARNING CHIME PERIODICALLY PLAYS AND THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AS "CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED" IN DECEMBER 2014 WHICH EVIDENTLY DID NOT INCLUDE REPLACEMENT OF THE KNOWN DISCREPANT DOOR LATCH COMPONENT.

THERE IS AN INSTRUMENT PANEL ALARM THAT SAYS "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" THAT REMAINS DESPITE REPEATED OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE DRIVER'S DOOR. WE PAID ALMOST $600 TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE US AGAIN TO FIX IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. NOT ONLY DOES THIS ALARM CAUSE CONSTANT BLINKING AND WARNING TONES WHEN DRIVING, BUT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AT NIGHT FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER DRIVING, AND I'VE HAD THE CAR BATTERY DISCHARGE TWICE WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE AND TRYING TO LOCK UP FOR THE NIGHT. IF YOU SLAM THE DOOR REPEATEDLY, IT SOMETIMES WILL GO OFF, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES WHEN I'VE OPENED AND SLAMMED THE DRIVERS DOOR OVER 10 TIMES, AND I JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE ALARM, NOISE, AND DISTRACTION. IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE - THIS SECOND TIME - FOR ABOUT A MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS THE INTERNAL LIGHTING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED DAILY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT AT WORK MY WIFE'S BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING, SHE WAS LUCKY NO CARS WERE COMING OR SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. SCARY CONSIDERING MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER RIDE IN THIS CAR EVERYDAY, AND WE TOOK IT ON VACATION TO COLORADO, JUST GLAD THE BRAKE DIDNT FAIL IN THE MOUNTAINS. IT WAS REALLY JUST LUCK, CANT BELIEVE THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN A MANDATORY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. WELL THE GOOD NEWS IS FORD IS PAYING FOR THE REPAIR, THANKS FOR STEPPING UP AFTER THE FACT, INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE WHEN YOU KNEW YOU HAD A PROBLEM. RECALL

2012 FORD EDGE LIMITED: DRIVING DOWN THE DIVIDED HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH, WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT/NEXT TO/ OR BEHIND ME, THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. THIS WAS NOT DUE TO ANY IMPACT OR COLLISION OF ANY TYPE, TO INCLUDE DEBRIS, FLYING PEBBLES, ETC. THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARDS, WITH THE GLASS PUSHED UPWARDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED IN ALL FOUR CORNERS. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT, WITH DOCUMENTED RECALLS ACROSS MANY MAKES/MODELS. THIS EXACT SITUATION HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE/VEHICLES WHETHER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR PARKED. IN EVERY CASE, THE SCENARIO APPEARS TO BE THE SAME: THE TEMPERED GLASS EXPLODED DUE TO DESIGN FAILURES WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL / ROUTINE CONDITIONS. RECALL REQUESTED.
