2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

I HAVE A 2011 FORD EDGE 2ND YR THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHICH KEEPS ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AND DRAINING THE BATTERY. I'VE HAD THE SENSOR REPLACED ONCE BUT IT STARTED AGAIN 6 MONTHS LATER. THE DEALER ASIDE I NEED TO REPLACE THEM ALL AT 400 DOLLARS A DOOR I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE AT 230 DOLLARS EACH BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER READS 60MPH WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING STILL HAS TO BE FIXED AND THE MY KEY NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED. IT'S A HAZARD AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. AND THE DEAD BATTERY HAS LEFT ME AND MY FAMILY STRANDED TWICE. .

DOOR AJAR INDICATOR SHOWING WHEN DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED. DRAINING BATTERY AND UNINSPECTABLE

SHIFT TO PARK WARNING INDICATOR KEEPS COMING ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK AND THE VEHICLE IS SHUTOFF. THIS CAUSES THE WHOLE CLUSTER TO LIGHT UP AND WILL EVENTUALLY RUN THE BATTERY DOWN LEAVING A PERSON STRANDED. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS IT OCCURS ON SEVERAL MODELS. THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS DEFECT IN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY.

THE LEFT DRIVERS DOOR SENSOR REMAINS ON AFTER THE DOOR IS CLOSED OR LOCKED. THE INDOOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER THE DOOR IS LOCKED WHEN THE CAR IS EITHER TUNED OFF OR ON. THE LIGHTS TURN ON PERIODICALLY WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING.

I PURCHASED MY CAR 9/23/14. MY PASSENGER AND LEFT REAR DOORS CONTINUE TO INDICATE DOORS AJAR WHEN THEY'RE INDEED CLOSED. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO REPLACE MY BATTERY TWICE IN 2YRS. EXTREMELY COSTLY AND FRUSTRATING! BECAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, IT'S DRAINING MY BATTERY!!! WE AS CUSTOMERS NEED FORD TO DO THEIR PART AS A REPARABLE MANUFACTURER AND TAKE CARE OF THIS GROSSLY DEFECTIVE PART! I'M A WOMAN AND A MOTHER, THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN BEING STRANDED BC YOUR DOOR LIGHT WON'T GO OFF, YET AGAIN DRAWING THE BATTERY. THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS! THE DOORS WONT EVEN LOCK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IT'S BAFFLING THAT FORD DOESN'T SEE THIS AS A DANGER TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. AT THIS POINT I WON'T EVER BUY ANOTHER FORD NOR WILL I RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE ELSE!!

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN ALL DOORS ARE COMPLETELY CLOSED,, & WILL NOT LET YOU LOCK DOORS.. ALSO RUNS BATTERY DOWN. SOMETIMES DOES NOT COME ON UNTIL YOU ARE MOVING!!

I BOUGHT THE 2001 EDGE USED. AFTER TWO DAYS I NOTICED THE PASSENGER DOOR OPEN ALARM CAME ON AND I COULD NOT REMOVE IT. BAD SENSORS. NOW, BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER DOOR ALARMS STAY ON. AND, IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK MY DOORS, SO WHEN I DRIVE THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED. MY GRAND DAUGHTER OPENED A BACK DOOR AT A STOP LIGHT. IN ADDITION, DUE TO THE SENSORS, THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND DRAINS MY BATTERY. LOOKING THIS UP THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. TO TEST THE ISSUE WHILE DRIVING, MY BROTHER OPENED THE DOOR ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 70 MPH. WHEN I TRY TO LOCK THE DOORS THEY REOPEN IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAPPENED 2/6/2017 AND HAS REMAINED THIS WAY.

THE REAR DRIVER-SIDE DOOR INDICATOR SWITCH HAS BECOME UNRELIABLE. IT NOW INDICATES THE REAR DRIVER-SIDE DOOR IS OPEN A MAJORITY OF THE TIME. BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED, INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT DIM RELIABLY AND THE DOORS NO LONGER LOCK RELIABLY. I DON'T GET THE OPTION TO DO SO UNTIL THE CAR IS WELL UNDER WAY.

1. OCTOBER 3, 2016 ' FORD EDGE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT PROBLEMS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) AFTER SAFETY REGULATORS RECEIVED 1,560 COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2011-2013 FORD EDGE DOOR AJAR LIGHTS THAT STAY ON AND COST A SMALL FORTUNE TO REPAIR. 2, FORD EDGE THE DOOR AJAR LIGHTS LOCATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS STAY ON ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND FULLY LATCHED, LEAVING OWNERS QUESTIONING IF THE DOORS ARE REALLY CLOSED. 3, OTHER PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DOOR AJAR LIGHTS STAYING ON, SUCH AS DRAINED BATTERIES FROM BOTH THE DOOR AJAR LIGHTS AND THE DOME LIGHTS STAYING ON. 4. THE DOORS WON'T LOCK WITH THE DOOR AJAR LIGHTS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED AND OTHER OWNERS SAY THE DOORS OPEN WHILE DRIVING. NHTSA SAYS IT DOESN'T KNOW OF ANY RELATED CRASHES, BUT ONE PERSON REPORTED THEY SUFFERED INJURIES DUE TO THE PROBLEM. 5. IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY HAZARDS CAUSED BY THE LIGHTS, OWNERS SAY THEY HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX PROBLEMS THOSE OWNERS BELIEVE SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER A FORD RECALL. HOWEVER, ONE EDGE OWNER SAID SHE WAS TOLD BY FORD THE VEHICLES HADN'T BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE THERE HADN'T BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS. PLEASE NOTE WE WERE GIVEN A VERY HIGH DISCOUNT ON THE REPAIR WE WERE ORIGINALLY QUOTED $550.00!! 6. MY DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO IT; HONESTLY JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A SENSOR AND I WOULD TAKE IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT. EVENTUALLY THE LIGHT STAYED ON ALL THE TIME, AND EVEN MADE MY INTERIOR LIGHT STAY ON AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK, AND IT IS NOT THE DOOR SENSOR, BUT THE DOOR LATCH. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY.

REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYING ON. UNCERTAIN IF DOOR IS SHUT OR NOT. WAS FIRST ABLE TO OPEN AND SHUT DOOR SEVERAL TIMES AND GET IT TO TURN OFF BUT NOW IT IS STAYING ON CAUSING MY DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON.
