DRIVER SIDE DOOR ALERT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT DOOR IS CLOSED. DOME LIGHT IS ON WHILE DRIVING, AND CHIMES GO OFF. AFTER EVERY STOP, CHIME AND DISPLAY SAYS TO SHIFT TO PARK. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WITH FOB. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR CHIME MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE LIGHTING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN CLEANED THE SENSOR. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 03/10/15*LJ UPDATED 06/17/2015 *JS

THE 'VEHICLE DOOR AJAR' WARNING ON DASH WILL NOT EXTINGUISH. THIS EFFECTS THE INTERIOR DOOR LIGHTS, THE WARNING CHIMES, AND THE DOOR LOCKS. THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY WHICH HAS FAILED! *TR

THE POWER STEERING CUTS IN AND OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DUE TO FAULTY POWER STEERING LINES! NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT MAKING A TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT AS THE STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY AND I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *JS

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND AS A RESULT WILL NOT LOCK THE DOORS AS NORMAL AND CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON. DOOR AJAR WARNING CONSTANTLY GOES OFF. *TR

NOTICED WHILE DRIVING THAT THE BRAKES FELT AND SOUNDED DIFFERENT THEN THEY HAD - ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES SOUNDED AS THOUGH THEY WERE RELEASING AIR AND THE PEDAL WAS EITHER HARD TO PRESS DOWN OR WAS TOO EASILY COMPRESSED - GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HAD AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE AND ASKED THAT FORD CHECK THE BRAKES. THEY CHECKED THEM AND REPORTED BACK TO ME THAT THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE BOOSTER (AS THEY HAD EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER CARS) BUT THAT SAFETY WISE THE VEHICLE WAS FINE. CONTINUED TO DRIVE THAT FOLLOWING WEEK ONLY TO FIND THAT ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT PRESSING DOWN AS HARD AS POSSIBLE ON THE BRAKES. LUCKILY MY SPEED WHILE EXPERIENCING THIS MALFUNCTION WAS LOW ENOUGH THAT THE VEHICLE STOPPED. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER FOLKS HAD THIS SAME ISSUE - I'M BEYOND FRUSTRATED TO KNOW THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THE SAFETY FACTORS INVOLVED AND THAT THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL!! ALSO, FRUSTRATED THAT I SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR THE BRAKES TO BE CHECKED AND THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID NOT TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN DRIVING BUT THE DOOR WAS SECURED. AS A RESULT, THE INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND A CHIME SOUNDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING DECK AT MY OFFICE (GOING LESS THAN 10 MPH), I SUDDENLY HAD LITTLE ABILITY TO STEER, NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE "LOW OIL" LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP AND JUST BARELY STEER CLEAR OF NEARBY VEHICLES. RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT. DROVE IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY TRYING TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. I HAD NOTICED WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT (IT'S AN APPROXIMATELY 25 MINUTE DRIVE FROM MY HOUSE TO THE OFFICE IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC WITH THE LAST SEVERAL MILES ON A BUSY INTERSTATE WITH MY OFFICE JUST OFF THE EXIT) BUT AT THE TIME I CHALKED IT UP TO THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND VARYING LEVELS OF ASPHALT. FROM MY PERSONAL RESEARCH ONLINE, MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE CONTINUE TO HAVE IT AT BOTH LOW AND HIGH RATES OF SPEED AND THOSE WHO HAVE HAD A REMEDY WERE ONLY ABLE TO DO SO IF THE DEALER COULD GET THEIR HANDS ON THE VEHICLE TO READ THE CODE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE CAR WAS RESTARTED. IT SEEMS THAT THE ERROR CODE IS DISAPPEARING WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED WHICH COULD EXPLAIN WHY THE DEALER COULD FIND NO CODE ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

DOME LIGHT STAYS ON = CREATES NIGHT DRIVING HAZARD. DOME LIGHT ON CREATES SAFETY HAZARD WHEN PARKED IN PUBLIC AREA AT NIGHT. FALSE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM RECOGNIZING A REAL DOOR AJAR SITUATION = SAFETY ISSUE THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK-= SAFETY ISSUE. ISSUE = DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED , INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON ,INABILITY TO LOCK THE DOOR WHILE IN THE VEHICLE , AND FAULTY DOOR LATCH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS A RECALL. *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALERT WILL NOT GO OFF WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. YOU CAN SLAM THE DOOR AND IT DOES NOT SENSE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THE INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINS ON. WHEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND FORD SHOULD RECALL THE PART AND REPLACE FOR FREE! *TR
