2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN CLEARING DOOR IS SHUT. SLAMMING DOOR OR GENTLY SHUTTING IT LIKE A FORMAL DOOR DOES NOT FIX IT. SOME LIGHTS STAY ON AND WILL DRAIN BATTERY. HAS LEFT ME STRANDED TWICE. DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL EVENTUALLY GO AWAY WHEN I SIT IN PASSENGER SEAT AND OPEN AND CLOSE DOOR UNTIL LIGHT GOES AWAY. THEN I EXIT THE CAR AND LOCK IT WITH REMOTE TO ENSURE LIGHT IS OFF. FORD PLZ DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS THANK YOU. MILES ON CAR 90K. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STARTED COMING ON FOR DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR. YOU COULD GET OUT AND SLAM THE DOOR AND IT WOULD GO OUT. THIS HAS BEEN STEADLY GETTING WORSE. NOW ANYTIME YOU GET IN THE CAR, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND THE INSIDE DOME LIGHTS COME ON. I CAN SAY "OK" TO THE NOTICE AND THE MESSAGE WILL DISAPPEAR BUT THE SMALL CAR INDICATOR WILL STAY ON ON THE DASH. THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE INSIDE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OUT UNTIL THE CAR PICKS UP SOME SPEED. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE TRYING TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE LIGHTS ARE ON INSIDE THE CAR. I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE THAT THIS STARTED, BUT IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I JUST PICKED A DATE BELOW.

AFTER SHIFTING INTO PARK, A WARNING FLASHES ON THE SCREEN TO SHIFT INTO PARK. REPEATED ATTEMPTS FINALLY WILL ALLOW THE SHIFT TO SHUT DOWN

WHEN I PLACE THE CAR IN PARK, THE P IN THE DASHBOARD DOES NOT TURN RED AND I GET AN ERROR MESSAGE IN THE DASH THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO GET THE GEAR SHIFT TO SHOW THE P IN RED, IT RUNS YOUR BATTERY DOWN. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE FORD EDGE; HOWEVER, THE ONLY ONES COVERED TO BE FIXED BY THE DEALER ARE 2012 THRU 2016. WHY WAS THE 2011 FORD EDGE NOT INCLUDED IN THE CORRECTION REQUIRED OF FORD DEALERS? WILL IT BE ADDED TO THE LIST SOON?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. ONCE THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND WOULD NOT DIM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR SENSOR WAS REPLACED TWICE BY THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND WHILE PARKED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

AFTER USING THE PASSENGER DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLEARLY CLOSED. THE DOOR NEEDS TO BE OPENED AND CLOSED FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON, THE DOME LIGHT WILL STAY ON AND DRAIN THE BATTERY AND THE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK.

ON MY 2011 FORD EDGE, THE DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON, EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS IS CAUSING MY INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE OR WHEN I EXIT THE VEHICLE, UNNECESSARILY DRAINING THE BATTERY. ADDITIONALLY, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS FROM MY DRIVER CONTROL PANEL (FOR EXAMPLE, IF ONE OF MY CHILDREN HAPPENS TO OPEN THEIR LOCK, I CANNOT LOCK IT AGAIN ELECTRONICALLY). IF I HAPPEN TO NOT NOTICE THAT THEY HAVE OPENED THEIR DOOR, THEY COULD ACCIDENTALLY OPEN IT AND FALL OUT. OR, SAY I RUN UP ON A BAD SITUATION, I AM UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY IN A QUICK INSTANCE. FORD, PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THIS ITEM FOR A FIX. THANKS

ON OCCASION, WHEN BREAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS (LIKE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE) WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDDLE, THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE AND LURCH FORWARD. MY FOOT WAS NOWHERE NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR KEEPS ALERTING - ALTHOUGH DOOR IS NOT AJAR - WHEN CAR SITS FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME THIS DRAINS THE BATTERY. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY TWICE. TOO EXPENSIVE TO HAVE DEALER REPAIR.

DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT SHUT COMPLETELY. DOOR AJAR SENSOR ON. HAVE TO SLAM DOOR TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. TOLD IT WAS A "BAD LATCH" BY FORD DEALERSHIP. WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.
