MY 2012 FORD EDGE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES. ONE OF THEM BEING THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT. THIS WARNING LIGHT WILL KEEP MY INSIDE LIGHTS ON IF I AM NOT ABLE TO CLEAR THE WARNING. I USUALLY NEED TO SLAM THE DOOR A COUPLE OF TIMES AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THEN I NEED TO RESTART THE CAR AND CLOSE THE DOOR AND THEN TURN THE CAR OFF AND USUALLY THIS WILL CLEAR IT. I HEAR THIS IS HAPPENING TO QUITE A FEW FORD VEHICLES AND THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FOR A RECALL. IF YOU DON'T REALIZE THAT YOUR CARS INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON THEN IT COULD DRAIN YOUR BATTERY AND LEAVE YOU STRANDED. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT GOES ON AT INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWING DRIVER'S DOOR IS AJAR. ACTUALLY THE DOOR IS SECURE AND CLOSED. THIS HAPPENS AT CERTAIN TIMES AND NOT ALL THE TIME. *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING CONSTANTLY ON EVER AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING DOOR SEVERAL TIME. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND REPAIR MADE, BUT IN JUNE 2014 THE ISSUE BEGAN AGAIN (APPROX 21000 MILES). RETURNED TO DEALER SECOND TIME AND THEY REPLACED THE PART. NOW AT 32000 MILES THE ISSUE CONTINUES CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS WITH DOORS NOT LOCKING WHEN DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE. WHEN MANUALLY PUSHING DOWN THE DOOR LOCKS, THE DOORS WILL IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. EVERY TIME I BRAKE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TURN ON AND THE WARNING CHIME SOUNDS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD IN MY CAR. NOW THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND IT WILL COST NEARLY $500 TO FIX SINCE FORD REFUSES TO RECALL THE DEFECTIVE DOOR SWITCHES/LATCHES. *TR

DRIVER DOOR OPEN SENSOR WENT OFF CAUSING INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON AND ALARM START GOING OFF. THIS WAS AT 8:30 PM ON A RURAL ROAD. I LOST MY NIGHT VISION AND SWERVED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD CAUSING MY 11 YEAR OLD TO STRIKE HER HEAD ON THE SIDE WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE AND DAMAGE TO THE FRONT SPOILER. THIS SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND TSB WAS ISSUED BY FORD 6 MONTHS AGO. THE POLICE OFFICER THAT CAME SAID HIS BROTHER HAS A FORD F-150 THAT THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM AND HE TOTALED HIS TRUCK AT NIGHT. AFTER DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR FORD DRIVER DOOR OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND FOUND NUMEROUS WEBSITES DEDICATED TO THE PROBLEM AND IMMENSE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS. HOW LONG CAN FORD GET AWAY WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY? *TR

IT BEGAN SUDDENLY WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON WITH A HIGH PITCHED WHINING SOUND. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER IT WAS SAID THAT THE POWER STEERING LINES WERE CRIMPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. (IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE A DEFECT BELONGING TO FORD), HOWEVER NOT THE CASE. HAD IT FIXED FOR $700. NOW IN FEBRUARY 2015 , THEY SAY THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS GOING BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH A NEW RESERVOIR AND FLUSHING OF THE LINES. AGAIN NOT COVERED BY FORD. THIS CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED BY THE OWNER FOR OIL CHANGES AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE. *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH SENSOR WENT BAD. IT KEEPS SAYING THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR. WHEN IT IS NOT. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IF I DON'T CLOSE MY DOOR COMPLETELY, I WOULD EXPECT THIS WARNING TO COME ON. BUT RIGHT NOW THE DOOR WARNING IS ALWAYS ON. SO I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF MY DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED OR NOT. SO FAR I AM "SLAMMING MY DOOR SHUT" TO ENSURE THAT IT IS PROPERLY CLOSED. *TR
