2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

VEHICLE SLOWED AND SHUT-DOWN. DEALER STATED THROTTLE BODY HAD AN ELECTRICAL SHORT . UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION TO SAY THE LEAST. VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON PUBLIC STREET..VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS 52,964.

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH SENSOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE DOOR BEING CLOSED. "DOOR AJAR" COMES ON, INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS. I SLAM THE DOOR REPEATEDLY TO GET THE LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY TURN OFF. IVE HAD IT FIXED TWICE, ONCE AT MY OWN COST AND IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN FOR A THIRD TIME. IT IS NOT SAFE AND IT IS FRUSTRATING FORD REFUSES TO HELP

THE FOLLOWING THREE BULLET POINTS ALL HAPPEN IN CONJUNCTION WHEN I CLOSE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAY IN EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. *THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. *THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON IN THE VEHICLE WHILE STARTING TO DRIVE AND STAY ON UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE. * I AM UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION I HAD THE DOOR LATCH REPLACED ONCE A FEW YEARS AGO FOR THE SAME ISSUE.... THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT , THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A WHILE AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE. AND IT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD THAT THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS IN THE VEHICLE.

DRIVER DOOR SHOWS A "DOOR AJAR" WARNING WHEN THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY FULLY CLOSED. WARNING REMAINS WHEN VECHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. CURRENTLY SLAMMING THE DOOR VERY HARD WILL PREVENT THE MESSAGE FROM COMING ON, BUT IS BECOME LESS EFFECTIVE.

I HAVE 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED WITH 54K MILEAGE. IM GOING THROUGH SAME SITUATION RIGHT NOW. CAR STARTS TO DECELERATE ALL OF A SUDDEN AND IT COMES WITH MESSAGE ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF AND A RANCH SIGN. FIRST TIME I HAD THIS ISSUE WAS ON 2/20/16 WHEN I WAS 7 MONTH PREGNANT AND ON MY WAY TO MY BABY SHOWER. I CALLED MY DEALER AD THEY SAID THEY CAN CHECK THE CAR BUT UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE THE ISSUE THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO HELP AT ALL. MY HUSBAND STARTED DRIVING THE CAR AND IT SEEMED PROBLEM JUST WENT AWAY. WELL WE WERE WRONG BECAUSE THE PROBLEM CAME BACK AGAIN FROM LAST WEEK AND THIS TIME WE WERE IN HIGHWAY AND WE HAD OUR 12 WEEKS OLD SON IN THE CAR. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER CURRENTLY AND APPARENTLY THEY THINK THE ISSUE IS RELATED TO THROTTLE BODY AND ITS GOING TO COST ME AT LEAST $700.00 AND NOT COVERED BY ANY TYPES OF WARRANTY. I'M SURPRISE FORD HASN'T BEEN SUED MULTIPLE TIMES ALREADY SINCE ITS A KNOWN ISSUE AND LOTS OF FORD OWNER BEEN AFFECTED BY IT. THE SERVICE AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION DEPARTMENT ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP OR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ITS A SAFETY ISSUE.

HAD PROBLEMS WITH DOOR SIDE SENSOR SAYING THE DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN IT WASN'T. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS DOING THE SAME THING. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING IF THE DOOR SENSOR IS SAYING THE DOOR IS OPEN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ALSO, IF THE DOOR OPEN SENSOR IS SAYING THE DOOR IS OPEN ONCE YOU HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE AND SHUT THE DOOR, THE INTERIOR LIGHT WILL STAY ON AND THIS DRAINS YOUR BATTERY.

MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED WHETHER THE DOOR IS CLOSED HARD OR SOFT, AND COMPLETELY CLOSED. ONCE I REACH SPEEDS OF 10MPH WHILE DRIVING, THE AUTOMATIC LOCKING FEATURE DOES NOT WORK. IF I PUSH THE LOCK BUTTON WHILE DRIVING, THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK. THE WARNING LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED AND MY INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER MY CAR IS TURNED OFF EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED WHICH IS DEPLETING MY BATTERY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I HAVE 2 YOUNG KIDS BEHIND THESE DOORS I CANNOT LOCK.

PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT ALTHOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT COMPLETELY. THIS CAUSES THE DOME LIGHT TO STAY ON WHEN PARKED AND CAUSES OTHER LIGHTS TO BEGIN BLINKING ON AND OFF, ALSO HAS CAUSED CAR ALARM TO GO OFF FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME AND THAN STOP BY ITSELF. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE, AND ALWAYS WHEN STARTING THE CAR AFTER ENGINE OFF AND PARKED.

DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AND THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT STAYS ON. WHEN I START THE CAR, IT SEEMS TO THINK THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED. BECAUSE OF THIS, WHEN YOU TRY TO LOCK THE DOOR, IT WON'T LET YOU. THE DOME LIGHT WILL STAY ON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THE DASHBOARD WILL READ "DOOR AJAR". (EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED) THIS REALLY BECAME A PROBLEM WHEN WE WERE IN A SEEDY SIDE OF TOWN AND SOMEONE CAME UP TO THE CAR AND WE TRIED TO LOCK THE DOOR BUT COULDN'T. THE ACTUAL DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES FINE BUT BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED, IT WILL NOT LET YOU LOCK THE DOOR. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE DRIVING OR IF YOU ARE STATIONARY. WE DO FIND THAT WE CAN LOCK THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AFTER THE CAR IS OFF BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP WITH THE SAFETY WHILE IN THE CAR.

THE DRIVE SIDE DOOR KEEPS SAYING AJAR NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU CLOSE IT. THIS CAUSES A VARIETY OF ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS A SENSOR PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL DING THINKING THAT KEYS ARE NOT IN THE IGNITION AND AT TIMES HAVE CAUSED THE DOOR NOT CLOSE. THIS ALSO CAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND IN PARK.
