2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

BOUGHT A 2012 FORD EDGE WITH 28,000 MILES DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYED ON EVEN WHEN DOOR WAS SHUT. FORD DEALER SAID THE LATCH JUST NEEDED CLEANING. THE WORK ORDER STATES ( CUSTOMER STATES, DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME ADVISE ON NEEDED REPAIR- JUST PURCHASE VEHICLE FROM US. CHECKED WITH IDS AND DRIVERS FRONT DOOR AJAR SWITCH STAYING ON ALL THE TIME, FOUND TSB #15-0013 FOR CLEANING ELECTRONICS WITH SPECIAL TOOL FOR REPAIR, PERFORMED TSB#15-0013, REPAIR VERIFIED)NOW 3 MONTHS LATER SAME PROBLEM. DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON BELL SOUNDS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON. THIS IS A CERTIFIED EDGE UNTIL MARCH 2016. GLARE FROM DOME LIGHT DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH, THE AIR CONDITION SYSTEM FAILED TO BLOW COOL AIR. IN ADDITION, THE INTERIORS LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED AND CAUSE THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,600.

BACKING DOWN DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE THE BRAKES FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. I HAD TO STAND ON THEM (PUSH WITH ALL MY LEG STRENGTH) AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY WERE WORKING WITH THE POWER ASSIST. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS COMING DOWN THE STREET AT THE TIME. I'M CERTAIN THIS IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FLAW. IT WAS SIMILAR TO THE TIME I BROKE A BRAKE LINE AND ONLY HAD THE REAR DRUM BRAKES WORKING AND HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. TO ME THE BRAKES ARE MISSION CRITICAL FOR SAFETY AND IF FORD WON'T ADMIT IT AND HAVE A RECALL THEN THE NTSB MUST STEP IN. THIS THREAD IS LOADED WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED BEFORE SOME ONE IS KILLED.

LIKE THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS, WHEN DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED, THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" ALERT COMES ON AND BEEPS EVERY TIME YOU ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, ALSO CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHT TO STAY ON. I HAD NOT REALIZED IT WAS NOT ALLOWING ME TO LOCK THE DOOR UNTIL I READ ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS AND TESTED IT MYSELF....SURE ENOUGH, BACK DOOR CAN BE OPENED! I AM NOW HIGHLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY 11 MONTH OLD SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. GOING TO FORD TOMORROW TO FIGURE THIS OUT!

THE PANEL SHOWS DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AFTER CAR HAS BEEN LOCKED FOR SOME TIME THE LIGHTS GO ON EVEN IF THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR A WHILE WHILE THE DOOR AJAR IS ON, THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK-SAFETY ISSUE, CAR IN MOTION I TRIED GETTING THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM TO REPAIR IT, THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT RECALLS ON MY ISSUES. BUT IF I WANTED IT REPAIRED IT WOULD COST ME $350.00 TO CHANGE THE SENSOR THAT MAY BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE DEALER SOLD ME A LEMON...THE DOOR AJAR COMES UP AS I CLOSE THE LEFT DOOR AS I PUT THE CAR IN MOTION;THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION; INTERIOR LIGHTS IS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED; THE LIGHTS GO ON WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THE BATTERY HAS DIED A COUPLE OF TIMES AS A RESULT OF THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AS THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND ALL THE DOORS UNLOCKED WITHOUT ACTIVATION. A WARNING FROM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INDICATED THAT THE CONTACT SHOULD PARK AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000. UPDATED 1/19/16 LN *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE WRENCH AND THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT PRIOR TO THE FAILURE BEING EXPERIENCED, THE OIL WAS CHANGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,500.

WHILE GETTING IN MY CAR I REALIZED AFTER I SHUT THE DOOR AT STILL SAYS DOOR AJAR ON DASH. AND NOW ITS GETTING WORSE IT WONT GO OFF CONSTANTLY STAYS ON AND WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO LOCK DOORS.

SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, I GET REPEATED WARNINGS TO "SHIFT TO PARK". IF I DON'T JIGGLE THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFT KNOB, MY SEAT AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WILL NOT RESPOND. I HAVE TO START THE TRUCK A FEW TIMES, PUT IT THROUGH THE GEARS (IN DRIVE AND REVERSE), THEN I PRESS THE SHIFT RELEASE BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES THEN THE WARNING STOPS AND MY DRIVER SEAT FUNCTIONS TO ALLOW ME TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THIS IS A PAIN AND THE DEALER SAID THAT IF THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED, THEN THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN 2 TIMES ABOUT THIS - THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD INTO GEAR AFTER SLOWING OR COASTING AND THEN ACCELERATING. ALMOST FEELS LIKE I HAVE HIT SOMETHING WHEN IT HAPPENS. I'M VERY CONCERNED, HAVING TWO TODDLERS IN THE TRUCK. I ALSO TOOK VIDEO OF THE PARKING, SHIFTING INTO PARK ISSUE. I JUST WANT IT FIXED....
