2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

THE FUEL FILLER DOOR DID NOT CLOSE CORRECTLY AND THE EMISSION SYSTEM SENT A WARNING. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. DRIVERS SIDE 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. *JS

THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR SWITCH IS HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES AND AT TIMES IS SHOWING AN ALARM "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS. PLEASE FIX ASAP. MANY DRIVERS WITH SAME MAKE AND MODEL ARE HAVING THE SAME ONGOING ISSUE. RECALL NEEDS TO BE SET IN PLACE. *TR

DOOR LATCH DOES NOT REGISTER THE DOOR AS BEING CLOSED. THIS RESULTS IN THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR BEING LIT WHEN THE DOOR IS LOCKED. THIS IMPAIRS THE ABILITY TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR'S WERE INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR LATCHES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

-DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED -INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYS ON -INABILITY TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN VEHICLE -FAULTY LATCH *TR

THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR SWITCH WAS HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES AND AT TIMES WAS SHOWING AN ALARM THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD DE-ENERGIZE AND UNLOCK EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS MOVING. THIS PROBLEM WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE EXTERIOR & INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF DRAINING THE BATTERY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY FORD. *TR

I HAVE A 2012 FORD EDGE AND WHEN THE WEATHER STARTED TO GET REALLY COLD (WE LIVE IN NORTH CENTRAL MN) I BEGAN TO HEAR A WHINING NOISE WHEN I WOULD FIRST START MY VEHICLE. AS SOON AS IT WOULD WARM UP, THE NOISE WOULD STOP. THIS WENT ON FOR A ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE I ASKED MY HUSBAND ABOUT IT. BY THAT TIME WE WERE HAVING BELOW ZERO WEATHER. HE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER AND I ALWAYS MADE SURE THAT I LET THE VEHICLE WARM UP REALLY GOOD. A FEW WEEKS LATER HE CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT WAS A LITTLE BIT LOW. WE ADDED FLUID AND IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS. THEN THE NOISE STARTED AGAIN AND, WHEN HE LOOKED, THE LEVEL WAS BELOW MINIMUM. HE COULDN'T FIND A LEAK ANYWHERE, THOUGH. WE STARTED TO SMELL THE FLUID WHEN IT WOULD DRIP ON TO THE EXHAUST. WE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND THE HOSE IS LEAKING. WE HAD THEM ORDER THE HOSE (WHICH WAS $200!!) AND IT JUST CAME TODAY BUT I HAVEN'T HAD IT INSTALLED YET. I CALLED THE DEALER, WHICH IS 2 HOURS AWAY, AND LEFT A MESSAGE. I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY KIND OF A RECALL ON THIS. NOTHING LIKE THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD!! I HAD A 7 YEAR OLD VAN PRIOR TO THIS THAT DIDN'T HAVE ANY MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. I AM DISAPPOINTED. *TR

INITIALLY HEARD WHINING NOISE, MAINLY IN FIRST 10-20 MINUTES OF DRIVING ON COOL DAYS (AROUND 60 DEGREES). WHINE BECAME CONSTANT IN COLD WEATHER. IN DECEMBER VEHICLE WAS UNEXPECTEDLY DIFFICULT TO STEER DURING PARKING MANEUVERS. DIAGNOSED 12/26 AS LEAKING POWER STEERING PRESSURE HOSE. *TR

SUMMARY: DRIVING AND MESSAGE APPEARS ON DASH CLUSTER TELLING ME THAT MY DRIVER DOOR AJAR AND DOME LIGHT COMES ON AND DOORS WON'T LOCK! CALLED DEALERSHIP AND NO RECALL ISSUED BUT COST OF REPAIR IS A RIDICULOUS $300-$500! APPARENTLY THERE ARE A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THE DEALERSHIP EVEN SAID THAT ITS VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE EDGE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS UNSAFE WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF THE DISTRACTION OF THE "DINGING" SOUND AS WELL AS THE DOME LIGHT WHILE NIGHT DRIVING! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IN MY OPINION BEING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE OBVIOUSLY. *TR
