2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

VEHICLE CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, AWD OFF-WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME, VEHICLE WAS IN A LIMP HOME CONDITION. NEXT DAY ATTEMPT, SAME INCIDENT, AWD LIGHT AND THEN ENGINE LIGHT ON = CODE P2111. THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY.

DOOR AJAR SWITCH FAILURE WHICH CAUSES ERROR NOTIFICATION AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON WHICH CAN LEAD TO BATTERY DRAINAGE, FAILURE, OR DAMAGE. ULTIMATELY, THIS BECOMES A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO POSSIBILITY OF BECOMING STRANDED IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION OR UNPOPULATED AREA. THIS INCIDENT OCCURS WHENEVER YOU OPEN AND CLOSE THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR. THERE APPEAR TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A SAFETY RECALL.

THE DOOR AJAR SWITCH STAYS ON ALL THE TIME . IT CAUSE THE LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE FOR FEW MINUTES AND YOU CAN'T SEE HOW TO DRIVE AT NIGHT YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM TO GO OUT.

DOOR AJAR WARNING ON DASHBOARD: THE DASHBOARD SAYS " DOOR IS AJAR" ON THE DRIVER SIDE EVEN IF ALL DOORS ARE LOCKED AND THAT MADE THE ALARM SOUND TELLING ME THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN. THE DOME LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY ON. IF THE CAR KEY IS IN THE IGNITION, I CAN'T MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS IT STAYS IN UP POSITION. ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE EITHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY.

CAR WIL GRADUALLY SLOW DOWN LEADING TO A COMPLETE STOP. POWER TO THE ENGINE SEEMS TO DECREASE AND SPEED SLOWS. HAPPENED 4 TIMES OVER SEVERAL WEEKS. IT WOULD HAPPEN THEN AN HOUR LATER CAR WOULD BE COMPLETELY FINE AND DRIVE OK FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN HAPPEN AGAIN. HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS DRIVING AT 30-50 MPH ON NORMAL CITY STREETS (NOT HIGHWAY) WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY IDENTIFIED THE THROTTLE BODY AS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. OUR VIN IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM THOUGH; WHICH WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND - MEETS THE YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AND CHARACTERISTICS OF ISSUE. EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR WE HAVE ALSO HAD LINGERING ELECTRICAL ISSUES - SEPARATE OF THE THROTTLE BODY, THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY -- DRIVE DOOR LIGHT SAYS OPEN AND IT'S NOT, TAILLIGHTS RANDOMLY FLASH WHEN CAR IS OFF AND NO ONE IS IN CAR, ETC. WE ARE THINKING THIS ONE WAS JUST A DUD. WE ALSO OWN ANOTHER FORD EDGE 2014 MODEL - NO ISSUES. CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED FOR THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. WE CAN PROVIDE RECEIPTS / INFO ONCE WE PICK IT UP. CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THAT VEHICLES IDENTIFIED FOR THE RECALL WERE BASED ON DATE OF MANUFACTURE AND LOCATION - THEY MUST'VE MISSED US.

AT ABOUT 75,000 MILES MY DOOR ADJAR LIGHT FOR MY DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. IT TURNS OUT THE SENSOR OF THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY IS BAD. THIS CAUSES SAFETY HAZARDS BECAUSE MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK THE DOORS FROM THE INTERIOR WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I'VE SPOKEN WITH FORD REPRESENTATIVES AND THIS IS A KNOWN, COMMON PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE. I THINK A RECALL OF THE FAULTY PRODUCT THAT CAUSES SAFETY HAZARDS WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.

FAULTY DRIVER DOOR LATCH MICROSWITCH KEEPS SHOWING DOOR IS OPEN EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR ALWAYS PRESENT. CAUSES A VARIETY OF ISSUES FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK/UNLOCK CAR HANDS-FREE, AUTOLOCK WHEN DRIVING DOESN'T WORK, AND RECENTLY, THE ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY. THIS REALLY IS A PROBLEM. WOULDN'T BUY A FORD AGAIN BASED ON THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR THAT DON'T SEEM TO BE WILLING TO BE ADDRESSED.

TAKATA RECALL: DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TRYING TO LOCK MY VEHICLE BY REMOTE OR MANUALLY AFTER PARKING. DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE. THIS WARNING LIGHT IS ON WHILE I AM DRIVING, AND IT TURNS ON WHEN STARTING ENGINE. IT WILL HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY AT VARIOUS TIMES SUCH AS, THERE ARE TIMES THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR AND THE DRIVER DOOR IS LOCKED, ONCE I AM FINALLY ABLE TO LOCK IT. WHENEVER THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COMES ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON (OTHER TIMES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD TURN ON AND OFF AGAIN AFTER A MINUTE), AND I WOULD HAVE TO WORK ON GETTING MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT OFF AGAIN. VERY, VERY ANNOYING, AND I HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED SEPTEMBER 2015, AND IT ALL STARTED A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING IT. I LOVE MY CAR, BUT I HATE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A FAULTY ISSUE THAT I DID NOT CAUSE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVERY TIME I USE MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALLS. THIS HAS BECOME WORSE, AND I AM STARTING TO DISTRUST ANY FORD VEHICLES. SOMETHING REALLY HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!

DUE TO THE LATCH MECHANISM ON THE DOORS, THE COMPUTER THINKS THE DOORS ARE STILL OPEN AND THE LIGHTS INSIDE DO NOT TURN OFF WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AND DRIVE WHEN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS OF THE CAR ARE ON. COMPUTER KEEPS SAYING "DOOR AJAR". THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $600 TO REPLACE THE LATCH MECHANISM AND THEY DON'T GUARANTEE THAT THE PROBLEM DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN
