2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND SIGNAL IS CONTINUALLY BEING ACTIVATED EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED TIGHTLY. THIS ALSO PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM BEING LOCKED WHILE DRIVING AND THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A WHILE CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

DOOR SENSOR FAILURE CAUSING DASH WARNING LIGHT TO SAY" DOOR AJAR". THIS CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON EVEN AFTER DOOR HAS BEEN CLOSED AND YOU LEAVE YOUR CAR. *TR

I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND AT 9 MPH MY DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. THEY ALL LOCKED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MY REAR DRIVER DOOR. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WAS STILL LIT ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. I OPENED THE DOOR AND RECLOSED IT SEVERAL TIMES. A FEW HARDER AND A FEW LIGHTER SLAMS AND IT NEVER WENT OFF. THE LIGHT STAYS LIT FOR A FEW DAYS TO A FEW HOURS AND COMES AND GOES OFF AS IT PLEASES. I HAVE EVEN REFRAINED FROM USING THAT DOOR AND IT WILL STILL GO OFF AND LIGHT UP WHEN IT WANTS. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL POSTS ON THE INTERNET OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER FORD VEHICLES: F150, EDGE, RANGER AND ESCAPE NEWER YEAR MODELS FROM 2007 TO CURRENT. IF THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK THIS PUTS THE PERSON OR PERSONS IN THE VEHICLE AT RISK. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS MAY ALSO AFFECT THE PROPER ACTIVATION OF THE ALARM WHICH IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS IS A COSTLY FIX THAT IS UNNECESSARY TO THE CONSUMER SINCE THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD TRUCKS AND SUVS. IT WOULD BE A RELIEF TO KNOW THAT FORD COULD BE TAKING SUCH SERIOUS CONSIDERATION SINCE IT PUTS ITS CONSUMERS IN JEOPARDY. I LOVE FORD AND ESPECIALLY MY FORD EDGE, BUT THIS IS A VERY ANNOYING PROBLEM AND CONCERN FOR MY FAMILIES' SAFETY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN BY OUR LOCAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THE BRAKES FELT LIKE THEY WERE NOT WORKING AND THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO STOP! THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO STOP WAS TO PUSH VERY HARD. THANK THE GOOD LORD THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO STOP ON A DIME FOR A CHILD WALKING ACROSS THE SCHOOL! THE BRAKES ARE STILL THAT WAY TODAY AND IT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL TO DRIVE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL SHOP TO VERIFY THAT THE BRAKES PADS WERE OK, WHICH THEY WERE. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR OUR LOCAL FORD SHOP. AFTER REVIEWING MANY COMPLAINTS, IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, (BRAKE BOOSTER) AND FORD NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS. WE HAVE ALREADY SPEND $75 HAVING THE SHOP LOOK AT THE BRAKE PADS, AND NOW IT WILL PROBABLY COST US ANOTHER $300-$400, WHICH IS NOT RIGHT FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAS LESS THAN 45,000 MILES ON IT AND IS A 2012. NHTSA NEEDS TO CONTACT FORD AND MAKE THEM RECALL THIS, AS IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE ARE SO MANY OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE CAN BE KILLED OVER THIS! FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE OVER THIS! READ MORE AT... HTTP://WWW.MOTORTREND.COM/CARS/2012/FORD/EDGE/RECALLS/ *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER DOOR IS FIRMLY SHUT! LOCKS WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS ! ! ! VERY DANGEROUS??? *TR

FORD EDGE LATCH DOOR AJAR DOME LIGHTS STAY, DOORS NOT LOCK. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

WHEN I GET INTO THE CAR AND SHUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, I GET AN ERROR THE DOOR IS AJAR. CLEARLY IT IS NOT BUT A RELENTLESS BEEPING IS WARNING ME OF THE TROUBLE. THE DOOM LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR THE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR FIVE MINUTES, INDICATING A DOOR IS STILL OPEN. *TR

WHEN DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS CLOSED THE DOOR-AJAR LAMP LIGHTS UP IN TRANSIT, DOOR AJAR BELL TURNS ON AND BOTH REMAIN ON. COURTESY LIGHTS REMAIN ON AT FIRST, BUT WILL EVENTUALLY TURN OFF. AT OTHER TIMES, THE DOOR AJAR LAMP LIGHTS AS SOON AS THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND BEFORE THE CAR IS TURNED ON AND THEY REMAIN ON EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO CLOSE THE DOOR SUCCESSFULLY. I REPLACED THE DOOR LATCH AT MY OWN EXPENSE, BUT THE PROBLEM RESUMED 18 MONTHS LATER. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR SWITCH STAYS ON WHEN THE DRIVERS DOOR IS CLOSED AND LATCHED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND EASILY SEARCHABLE ON MANY VEHICLE FORUMS AND YOUTUBE. *TR
