2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

FORD EDGE SPORT 2012. STRANGE HISSING SOUND WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. I HAVE TO APPLY SLIGHTLY MORE PRESSURE BEFORE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. POSSIBLE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE AS INDICATED BY FORD NOTICE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02." *TR

FORD EDGE SPORT 2012. DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILS AND/OR GIVES FALSE READINGS. DRIVER SIDE CONSOLE DISPLAYS DOOR OPEN INDICATOR. I HAVE TO REPEATEDLY OPEN AND CLOSE TO THE DOOR TO CLEAR THE INDICATOR LIGHT. IT USUALLY HAPPENS RIGHT WHEN I ENTER THE VEHICLE BUT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. I PULLED OVER AND OPENED/CLOSED THE DOOR TO CLEAR THE MESSAGE. *TR

DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLEARLY CLOSED. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE INSIDE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. WHEN FIRST ENTERING VEHICLE IN THE MORNINGS, INTERIOR LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. BECAUSE OF THIS I AM UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN DRIVING. *TR

THE SENSOR FOR THE DOOR AJAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS BAD AND I CANNOT LOCK MY DRIVER DOOR DUE TO THE ALARM SOUND FROM MY DISPLAY PANEL. THE DOOR AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKS PUTTING MY SAFETY AT RISK IN PARKING LOTS, DANGEROUS AREAS, AND WHEN I AM DRIVING. THE FORD DEALER TELLS ME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF THESE VEHICLES AND IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AS OF YET. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE DOOR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR LOCK THE DOOR WHEN YOU ENTER THE VEHICLE FOR PERSONAL SAFETY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED WHEN THE DOOR WAS SECURED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE INTERIOR AND THE HEAD LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE SENSOR IN MY DRIVERS DOOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE DOOR IS CLOSED. AS I'M DRIVING THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF BECAUSE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THINKS THE DOOR IS OPENING. ALSO THE VEHICLE ALERTS ME WITH EVERY BUMP I HIT IN THE ROAD THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR WITH A SCREEN ALERT AND RINGING BELL. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SPENT $150 TO HAVE IT CLEANED WHICH HELPED FOR 6 MONTHS AND NOW IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. *TR

DRAMATIC AND SUDDEN LOW PRESSURE IN BRAKES. PITCH SOUND WHEN YOU PUT THE BRAKE TO END. HIGH RISK OF COLLUSION! FORD SAID NO RECALL RELATED EXIST, BUT MORE THAN THAT FORD DEALER FORMERLY SAID IS NO PROBLEM. I WENT TO PEP BOYS (FOR A THIRD VERIFICATION) AND THE CONCLUSION ISSUE WAS THE BOOSTER REPLACEMENT NEEDED. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR COMPLAINT IN THE SAME VEHICLE/MODEL/YEAR AS I EVIDENCED HERE IN THE NHTSA WEB PAGE. AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS IS SUGGESTED. BRAKES ARE SECURITY!!!! THANKS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING SENSOR STAYS ON. THIS CAUSED INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON. TOOK HOURS TO "FOOL" THE SYSTEM TO GET WARNING SENSOR TO DEACTIVATE, CONSEQUENTLY ALL LIGHTS WENT OUT. FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SWORE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS YET OWNER COMPLAINTS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, TELLING ME THAT MY DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME HAPPENING IN A 6 MONTH PERIOD.... *TR
