2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

DRIVERS DOOR LOCK STAYS OPEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME I'M DRIVING, DOME LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN I START DRIVING AND FINALLY GO OFF, DOME LIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS ARE ON FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD AFTER I HAVE PARKED THE CAR. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN I START DRIVING ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR ARE ON AND I CAN'T TELL IF ON GOING TRAFFIC IS COMING OR NOT AT NIGHT, VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE GOING THROUGH THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE WATER PUMP THAT CAUSED THE FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

FORD EDGE 2011 - DOOR AJAR WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. VERY POOR CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PART. THE DOOR SENSOR IS LOCATED IN THE DOOR LATCH. THE DOOR AJAR WILL NOT LET YOU LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS AND ALSO KEEPS YOUR OVERHEAD DOME LIGHT ON THEREFORE DRAINING YOUR CAR BATTERY. FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS AS THEY KNOW IT IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND A DEFECTIVE PART. THIS CAN HAPPEN ON ALL DOORS AND AT $500 EACH YOU ARE HAVING TO PAY $2,000.00 JUST TO KEEP THIS FROM DRAINING YOUR BATTERY. HOW CAN ANYONE THINK THIS IS OK? I NEVER EVEN USE MY BACK SEAT AND MY CAR ONLY HAS 83,000 MILES. IF YOU HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY , STRANGE IT DOES NOT COVER THIS. YOU CAN ONLY BUY THIS PART FROM FORD. THIS IS NOT RIGHT . FORD USED FAULTY PARTS., YET THEY SEEM TO THINK IT'S OK BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS BECAUSE NO ONE DIED. IS THAT WHAT IS TAKES TO HAVE A RECALL ? FORD KNOWS THIS IS WRONG, YET WILL NOT RECALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO.

WHEN DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS SHUT LIGHT STAYS ON AND SAYS DOOR IS AJAR, MAKES BATTERY RUN OUT OF JUICE. PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS OFF AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN PASSENGER IS SITTING IN SEAT.

"DOOR AJAR" SENSOR ON DRIVER'S DOOR NOT SENSING WHEN DOOR IS SHUT CAUSING DOORS NOT TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED AND CAUSING BATTERY DRAINAGE AS LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF AFTER BEING LOCKED WHEN PARKED, WHICH ALSO EXPOSES CONTENTS OF VEHICLE FOR POTENTIAL THEFT.

REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE SENSOR LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUALLY SAYS DOOR OPEN AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTS NIGHTTIME VISIBILITY AND CREATES UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS.

FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR SWITCH DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY CAUSING FALSE INDICATION THAT DOOR IS NOT CLOSED. WARNING INDICATOR CAN BE OVERRIDDEN BUT THIS CAN CAUSE A POTENTIAL HAZARD IF DRIVER ROUTINELY IGNORES INDICATOR AND THE DOOR IS NOT ACTUALLY LATCHED. BASED ON MY ON LINE SEARCH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A POTENTIAL RECALL. THIS CONDITION EXISTS WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND CHIMED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO LOCK THE DOORS, BUT THE LOCKS FAILED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCH MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR! WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED! UHH LEFT ME STRANDED TWICE BECAUSE IT RAN DOWN MY BATTERY.. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! PAID TOO MUCH FOR THIS VEHICLE!

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AND WONT GO OFF AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. DOOR IS FOR SURE SHUT AND LIGHTS STAY ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR.
