2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED, PREVENTING THE DOME LIGHT FROM GOING OFF AND THE DOOR FROM LOCKING WHILE DRIVING.

SAFETY RECALL DRIVER DOOR SENCER ON MY DASH BOARD REGISTERS MY DOOR ISN'T CLOSED. DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND MY DOORS WON'T LOCK.NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES U CLOSE IT IT WON'T CUT OFF. CONCERNS ME BECAUSE WHAT IF MY DOOR ISN'T CLOSED AND IT OPENS UP WHILE DRIVING. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED. I ALSO SMELL BURNING RUBBERY HEY MY VENTS WHEN IDLING.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH NOT WORKING - CAUSING WARNING LIGHT AND NOT ENABLING SAFETY/SECURITY SYSTEMS TO ENGAGE WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, HAPPENS WHEN GETTING IN AND OUT OF CAR. ALSO, DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AFTER CAR IS PARKED CAUSING BATTERY TO DIE.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS STAYING ON EVEN AFTER THE DOOR IS SHUT. THE INTERIOR AND OUTSIDE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON AFTER SHUTTING DOOR, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE BATTERY POWER IF NOT DETECTED EARLY. IF IT IS DAYLIGHT THIS MAY BE HARD TO SEE. IT ALSO DOES NOT LET YOU ENGAGE THE ALARM, OR EVEN WORSE THE ALARM WILL GO OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON, ALSO DRAINING THE BATTERY IF NOT DETECTED EARLY. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR A FEW MONTHS, BUT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I WAS DOING WRONG UNTIL I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON BECAUSE OF A FAULTY SENSOR. ONLY COMES ON WHEN VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED AND MAKES THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS USELESS. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON, DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY, OR CAN THEY BE LOCKED REMOTELY. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH MANY FORD PRODUCTS.

"DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING ON DASH, AND INTERIOR LIGHTS ON, WHILE DOOR CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT INTERFERE WITH NIGHT VISION AND, ESPECIALLY, REAR VIEW MIRROR VISION. ALSO DRAINS BATTERY OVER NIGHT. STARTED AS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT NOW CONSTANT.

DOOR AJAR STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, DRIVERS DOOR AND PASSENGER DOOR. DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AND DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHEN DRIVING, ALSO COMES ON IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT WHEN THE CAR IS JUST SETTING AND NOBODY AROUND IT. AT NIGHT WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO BACK UP THE LIGHT IS AFFECTING THE SIGHT SINCE IT GLARES IN YOUR EYES CAUSING YOU TO BE UNABLE TO SEE WHAT IS AROUND YOU. I PUT A DATE OF TODAY BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED EVEN THOUGH ALL THE DOORS WERE CLOSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCHES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

DOOR AJAR WARNING CAME ON WITH THE DOOR CLOSED HAS VERY QUICKLY GOT WORSE CAR WILL NOT LOCK PROPERLY WHEN OFF ANYONE CAN PRESS THE KEYPAD AND GET IN THE CAR SO POTENTIAL BREAK IN AND DOOR DO NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING SAFETY ISSUE IF MY DAUGHTER REACHES FOR THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS I'M ABOUT TO SPEND HUNDREDS TO GET THIS FIXED AND IT COULD POTENTIALLY HAPPEN AGAIN !

I PURCHASED THE CERTIFIED USED EDGE IN OCTOBER OF 2013. I HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE IT HAS LOST ALL POWER ON ME TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH. ONCE WHILE SITTING IDLE AND JUST TONIGHT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON TO ALERT THE VEHICLE APPROACHING MY VEHICLE. IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES FOR ME TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE. I CALLED FOR AAA TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME. WHILE WAITING I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. JUST AS THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND THE WRENCH SYMBOL WAS GONE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SO I STILL HAD IT TOWED. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE SHOP ON MONDAY MORNING. HOPEFULLY THEY CAN FIND AND FIX THE ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED OR KILLED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS AS IF MANY FORD EDGE OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THEN I CHECKED FOR A RECALL AND CANNOT SEEM TO FIND ONE. I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS SOLVED OR DEALT WITH BY FORD MOTORS.
