2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE FAR LEFT LANE WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM. A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IMMEDIATELY SLOWED TO ABOUT 1 MPH. I HAD TO CROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP SAFELY IN THE RIGHT MEDIAN. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. READING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. BEING THAT THE CAR STOPS IMMEDIATELY AND NOT TO A GRADUAL STOP THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN OF BEING HIT BY OTHER DRIVERS WHILE TRYING TO GET TO SAFETY.

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. AT NIGHT, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR 30 SECONDS- REDUCING VISIBILITY. WHEN DRIVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC OR AFTER MOVING FROM A STOP, VEHICLE BEEPS AND SAYS TO SHIFT INTO PARK, AND THEN VANISHES. DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING! MILEAGE AT 66K.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SAYS ITS AJAR MOST OF THE TIME THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR STAY ON AND THE OTHER DOORS WONT LOCK WHILE IN MOTION. SOMETIME THE CAR SAYS TO STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT THE DOOR BUT IT IS SHUT. I HAVE SEEN THIS PLASTERED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AS I GOOGLED WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. ALL THESE NEWER CARS WITH SUCH ISSUES WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS IS SCARY

THE DRIVERS DOOR CLOSURE SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER THE DOOR BEING CLOSED.THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS THE DASH WARNING SYSTEM INDICATES A WARNING TO PULL OVER AND CLOSE THE DOOR. SOMETIMES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT DOES NOT SHUTOFF AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED.

2012 FORD EDGE DOOR LATCH, FORD EDGE DOOR AJAR ALERT/NOTIFICATION - FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS THE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM THINKS A DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IN FACT IT IS NOT. THERE ARE DOZENS OF FORUMS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND THAT DIRECT PEOPLE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THIS WEBSITE; AS MOST BELIEVE FORD SHOULD RECALL SAID VEHICLES TO CORRECT THE MANUFACTURING ERROR THAT IS SO BLATANTLY APPARENT. WE HAVE SINCE BOUGHT THE LATCH AND REPAIRED IT. THE PART COST US $101.15. WE FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS. I LOVED MY VEHICLE BUT HAVE REALLY GOTTEN DISAPPOINTED IN IT AND FORD AS A WHOLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DOORS ONLY LOCKED MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH BOTH THE DRIVER DOOR AND REAR PASSENGER (DRIVERS SIDE) LATCH OR SENSOR IMPROPERLY WORKING. BOTH DOOR LATCHES AND OR SENSORS MALFUNCTIONS MAKE THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STAY LIT, AND MAKES THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS STAY ON. THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYING ON MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY.

BRAKE PEDAL HARD WHEN PUSHED. MAKES WHOOSHING SOUND WHEN HELD TO FLOOR. BRAKES WILL GRAB WHEN PUSHED HARD. HAVE NOTICED BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD TO PUSH WHEN IN REVERSE. IT IS HARD TO STOP VEHICLE WHEN BACKING UP. AT TIMES AFTER HAVING CRUISE CONTROL SET, BRAKES DO NOT WANT TO WORK AT ALL.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT CAUSING MY CAR BATTERY TO DIE FROM THE DOME LIGHTS ALWAYS BEING ON.

THE DOOR AJAR DOES NOT SHUT OFF.NO MATTER HOW I CLOSE THE DOOR.AT ALL STOP SIGNS RED LIGHTS IT CONTINUES TO TELL ME TO SHIFT TO PARK BECAUSE OF "DOOR AJAR".THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF BECAUSE OF THE "DOOR AJAR".I CANT SEE OUT MY REAR VIEW MIRROR BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT.IM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR I NEVER KNOW IF IM GOING TO FALL OUT WHILE DRIVING DUE TO "DOOR AJAR".I BROUGHT IT IN TO FORD FOR REPAIR LATER FOUND OUT THEY JUST "CLEANED THE WIRING".9 MONTHS LATER PROBLEM IS BACK AND EVEN WORSE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.
