2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

DOOR AJAR LIGHTS FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS STAY ON EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CLOSED. RESULT IS THAT THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AND UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CLOSED. HAS CAUSED A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY, DEALER WANTS A LARGE SUM OF MONEY TO REPLACE THE LATCH EVEN THOUGH IT'S CLEARLY A SENSOR ONLY.

DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR SENSOR INCORRECTLY SENSES DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY CLOSED CAUSING THE INABILITY TO LOCK ANY OF THE VEHICLES DOORS. DOME LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN DRIVING. THE INABILITY TO LOCK ANY OF THE DOORS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN SINCE IT COULD ENABLE ANYONE TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR AND THE DRIVER HAS NO WAY TO LOCK THEM OUT.

DOOR AJAR WARNING ALWAYS ON RESULTING IN DOORS NOT LOCKING WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION, DOME LIGHTING STAYING ON WHEN EXITING THE CAR AND NOT BEING AWARE IF CAR DOOR IS SHUT.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR FAILED CAUSING BATTERY TO DIE. HAD TO BUY NEW BATTERY AND PAY $500+ TO REPLACE DOOR AJAR SENSOR. THE FED OPENED AN INVESTIGATION ON OCTOBER 3, 2016 TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS WIDESPREAD ISSUE.

INTERNAL WATER PUMP WENT OUT. NO SENSOR SAYING ITS BAD. WHEN IT OCCURS THE FLUID DROPS IN TO OIL PAN, SUCKS IN TO ENGINE AND DESTROYS THE ENGINE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND CAR DIED IN A MINUTE.

THE SENSOR IN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WARNS ME THAT MY DOOR IS "AJAR" WHEN ALL DOORS ARE SHUT. WHEN THIS WARNING IS ON, I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK ANY DOORS IN MY VEHICLE (NEITHER IN MOTION NOR PARKED) AND I OFTEN TRAVEL WITH TODDLERS. THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ALSO ILLUMINATED SO IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CAUSED THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR TO ILLUMINATE, ALTHOUGH THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. IN ADDITION, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCH ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000.

COMING TO A STOP, PUTTING VEHICLE IN PARK, WARNING TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK EVEN THOUGH ITS ALREADY IN PARK. IT ALSO HAS THE DOOR AJAR PROBLEM I TEMPORARILY FIX WITH SPRAY LUBE

THE LATCH DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND CANNOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS RESULTS IN ME BEING UNABLE TO LOCK MY DOOR AND IT LEAVES THE DOME LIGHTS ON UNTIL IT TIMES OUT.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT IS ON, EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT WORK, DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT SINCE REDUCES NIGHT VISION AS WELL AS ALLOWS THE DOORS TO BE OPENED BY ANYONE. *TR
