2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INSTRUMENT PANEL EVEN AFTER DOOR IS SHUT FIRMLY. MUST OPEN AND SHUT DOOR SEVERAL TIMES TO CLEAR THIS WARNING. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY ON 12/20/2012. PROBLEM HAS RETURNED THIS PAST WEEK OF SINCE 10/19/2016. ORIGINAL OWNER OF VEHICLE.

DONE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF. DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR SHOES TO BE OPEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCH ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR INDICATOR CAME ON AND AT FIRST IT WOULD TAKE ME A FEW TIMES SHUTTING THE DOOR FOR IT COME OFF. NOW ITS TO THE POINT WHERE IT DOES NOT TURN OFF AND KEEPS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON UNTIL I DRIVE FORWARD A BIT, THEN TURN OFF. THAT'S NOT GOOD AT NIGHT FOR SURE. NOW WHEN MY CAR IS LOCKED THE PANIC ALARM GOES OFF ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY (THANK GOODNESS) ONE NIGHT AND THE LIGHTS TURNED ON AND THE CAR STARTED DINGING FOR THE DOOR. WHY IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT RECALLED??? IT IS DANGEROUS FOR THE LIGHT TO STAY ON AT NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY IF MY DOOR REALLY ISN'T LATCHED. I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY SOMETHING OUT OF POCKET THAT I DIDN'T BREAK OR HAVE CONTROL OVER BREAKING. PLEASE HELP FIX THIS........ *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR SENSOR IS BAD, WHICH KEEPS THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON AT ALL TIMES, AND KEEPS THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS ON FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY AND IS ALSO DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. HAD THE DEALER "FIX" THE ISSUE BY DOING A CLEANING/CYCLING ON THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE LATCH, BUT IT ONLY LASTED A FEW MONTHS AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK. FORD DOES NOT SEEM WILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AS A SAFETY CONCERN - UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH OVERHEAD LIGHTS ON, AND IT DRAINS THE BATTERY, WHICH HAS CAUSED OTHER ISSUES FOR ME, INCLUDING HAVING TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WELL AHEAD OF ITS INTENDED USEFUL LIFE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON EVEN THOUGH ALL THE DOORS ARE COMPLETELY CLOSED. THE IMAGE INDICATES THE PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND I AM UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING MESSAGE ON WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON 10 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING OFF WHEN PARKED. INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AND ALARM HORN WILL SOUND INTERMITTENTLY WHEN PARKED. I PULLED THE FUSE FOR THE HORN RELAY, DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL SOUND. I FEEL IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT A HORN. WHILE DRIVING DOORS DO NOT LOCK IN FACT THEY UNLOCK AFTER LOCKING THEM WITH LOCK SWITCH. *TR

I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT BACK IN 2014 CONCERNING THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SWITCH. THIS WEEK I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND WAS ELATED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE RECALL WAS MY FORD FOCUS AND FORD FUSION NOT THE FORD EDGE! THE FOCUS AND FUSION ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME SWITCH THAT THE DEALER CHARGED ME $389.24 TO FIX IN MY FORD EDGE.

THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR IN THE DRIVERS DOOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. SHOWS A DOOR AJAR WARNING ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHEN DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED TIGHT. THIS WARNING INDICATION PREVENT THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WHEN DRIVING. BIG SAFETY ISSUE! IT ALSO CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHT TO STAY ON, AND NIGHT TIME DRIVING WITH THAT INTERIOR LIGHT GLARE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DOME LIGHTS HAVE ALSO STAYED ON WHEN PARKED, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO GO DEAD. THIS ISSUE FIRST WAS NOTICED 7/10/16 AND CONTINUES INTERMITTENTLY EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. *TR

WHEN DRIVING CAR AT ANY SPEED,ENGINE SUDDENLY LOSES ALL POWER,ORANGE WRENCH COMES ON DASH,THERE IS NO WAY TO KEEP CAR MOVING.DRIVER MUST REALIZE WHAT JUST HAPPENED AND TRY TO NAVIGATE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP IN ASAFE SPOT.ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY WIFE WAS NEARLY RAMMED OFF THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON 295 IN SOUTH JERSEY,THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR ALL CARS NEARBY BECAUSE IT COMES WITH NO WARNING AND NO OUTWARD SIGN OF A PROBLEM.COMPOUNDING THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK FOR IT TO RESTART, NEUTRAL WONT DO ANYTHING,FORD HAS RECALLED OVER A MILLION CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM,PLEASE DO WHTEVER YOU CAN TO SPEED UP THIS RECALL BEFORE THE DEATHTOLL STARTS TO CLIMB,
