2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

"DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR IS ON ALL THE TIME EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS CLOSED COMPLETELY. THEN THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON (THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AT NIGHT AS THE DRIVERS VISION IS IMPAIRED BY THE INTERIOR LIGHTS). ALSO RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM: THE "SHIFT TO PARK" AUDIBLE AND VISUAL INDICATOR OPERATES AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER.

DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON. DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN INSIDE.

THE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON. DOOR CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN INSIDE.

THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH IS DEFECTIVE THUS FAILING TO NOTIFY THE SENSOR THAT THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THE DOOR, ALTHOUGH CLOSED, REGISTERS OPEN. THE DOOR AJAR WARNING SOUNDS ON THE DASH BOARD, DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AND DOORS DO NOT LOCK. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DEFECTIVE LATCH MAY AFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT BECAUSE THE DOORS INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO LOCK. I BEGAN SEARCHING FORD FORUMS ONLY TO FIND THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR MANY FORD OWNERS. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CORPORATION ONLY TO BE INFORMED THAT THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THIS ISSUE. IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR FORD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE, REPAIR THE FAULTY PART AT THEIR EXPENSE, AND CONTINUE TO FOLLOW INDUSTRY STANDARDS BEST PRACTICES.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: MY VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHETHER MY DOOR IS OPENED OR CLOSED. I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED THAT EVEN SHUTTING IT MAY LEAD TO ISSUES BECAUSE THE ALERT IS SAYING ITS NOT IS NOT CLOSED. WILL MY DOOR RADOMLY OPEN ON THE HIGHWAY? IF IM IN AND ACCIDENT WILL I BE THROWN OUT OF THE CAR? I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND EVEN PUT MY CAR IN THE SHOP TWICE. THEY GAVE A TEMPORARY FIX AND REALLY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD ABOUT IT AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE RECALLED IN ORDER THEM TO LOOK IN TO THE ISSUE. MY GIRLFRIEND PURCHASE THE CAR AT THE SAME TIME AND SHE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NOT ONLY HER DRIVERS DOOR BUT HER PASSENGER DOORS WHICH COULD ENDANGER HE CHILDREN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. WE ARE AFRAID THAT THIS ISSUE COULD POTENTIALLY HURT ALOT OF PEOPLE.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT REGISTER AS CLOSED. THE CABIN LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE DOORS DON'T ALWAYS LOCK BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS NOT. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR I GET AN ALARM IN THE DASHBOARD THAT CONTINUALLY STATES THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS AJAR.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT REGISTER CLOSED. THIS LEADS TO A SERIES OF ISSUES INCLUDING THE DOME LIGHT STAYING LIT (DISTRACTING DURING DRIVING AND KILLS BATTERY), CONSTANT ALARMS (DISTRACTING) GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST ISSUE WAS NOT APPARANT UNTIL MY 3 YEAR OLD OPENED THE REAR DOOR WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING. I ATTEMPTED TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS AND THEY WOULD NOT LOCK. WHEN PRESENTED TO FORD WE WERE GIVEN A QUOTE OF $500 AND DESPITE THIS BEING AN ISSUE IN OTHER MODELS WHERE ITS BEEN RECALLED, THEY OFFERED NO CONCESSION TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE DOORS WILL PROVE DEADLY IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT PART OF A RECALL.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING BECAME INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO BRING TO A STOP. THIS OCCURRED WITHIN 3 WEEKS OF A DEALER MULTI-POINT INSPECTION/SERVICING. BRAKES SEIZED UP AND I WOULD HAVE TO SLAM DOWN ON THEM TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. PROBLEM ONSET IN A PARKING LOT AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AND ACTUALLY STRUCK A PARKING BUMPER. APPARENTLY MY BRAKE BOOSTER REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. UNLIKE ASSERTED IN FORD'S 13N02 BULLETIN, THIS DID AFFECT ABILITY TO BRAKE AND ONSET WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY DEFECT.

DOORS WILL NOT REGISTER CLOSED EVEN IF YOU SLAM THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE HAVE TO RUN CAR WITH ALARMS GOING OFF FORD WILL REPLACE AT AN LARG COST
