2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. A CHIME SOUNDED EVEN THOUGH ALL THE DOORS WERE CLOSED SECURELY. IN ADDITION, THE DOME LIGHTS ILLUMINATED TEMPORARILY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A LUBRICANT WAS APPLIED TO THE DOOR LATCHES. THE FAILURE RECURRED ONE YEAR LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

DOOR AJAR AND LATCH ISSUE -DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED -INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON -INABILITY TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN VEHICLE -FAULTY LATCH ON DRIVERS SIDE DOOR -THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND CREATES A NIGHT DRIVING HAZARD -FALSE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL PREVENTS DRIVER FROM RECOGNIZING A REAL DOOR AJAR SITUATION -THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON, BUT THE DOOR IS NOT AJAR. VERY ANNOYING AND I THINK DANGEROUS. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ONLINE, IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND EXITING THE VEHICLE, IT ROLLED DOWNHILL ACROSS THE STREET AND STRUCK A TREE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT REGISTER THAT IT WAS IN PARK. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE RESTARTED NUMEROUS TIMES IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO REGISTER THAT IT WAS IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS UNOCCUPIED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS AWAITING REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

THE DOOR AJAR INDICATES THE DOOR IS OPEN AND IT IS NOT, CAUSING THE CAR TO BEEP AND INTEAIOR LIGHTS TO NOT TURN OFF.

CAR ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY WHILE STATIONARY. IT'S HAPPENED DURING THE DAY AND AT NIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ALREADY SINCE APRIL 1, 2016.

DOORS ARE CLOSED AND LIGHT SHOWS RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR OPEN WHICH LEAVES DOME LIGHTS ON AND WASTES BATTERY WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF.

THE DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL SOUND EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SECURE. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AND IT GIVES A AUDIBLE SIGNAL. INTERIOR LIGHTS COMING ON ARE HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS EXPECTANTLY. THIS ACTIVATION ALSO CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO STAY ON AFTER YOU LEAVE THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN AND NOT BEING ABLE TO START THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPEN TO MY WIFE WHILE AT WORK. FORTUNATELY, THIS TIME, IT WASN'T IN A REMOTE LOCATION, BUT IT COULD HAPPEN. FORD REFUSES TO RECALL OR REPAIR AT THEIR COST, EVEN THOUGH I HAD IT REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY (WHILE UNDER WARRANTY).

POWER STEERING WINES AND IS NOT RESPONSIVE IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 35 DEGREES. ALSO THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WARNING LIGHT SAYS DOOR AJAR AND DOME LIGHT STAYS ON.

SYNC INTERMITTENTLY SHUTS DOWN SOMETIMES FOR DAYS AT A TIME. WHEN SYNC SHUTS DOWN, THE BACK-UP CAMERA IS NON-FUNCTIONING WHICH ELIMINATES SAFE BACKING. THERE IS NO WAY TO SEE SMALL PEOPLE OR ITEMS THAT MIGHT BE DIRECTLY BEHIND THE VEHICLE....VERY DANGEROUS!!!
