2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOME LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED DUE TO THE FAULTY DOOR LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, AND NOW ALSO THE REAR LEFT DOOR, WHEN THE DOORS ARE CLOSED CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO STAY ON AND MAKING THE DOOR LOCKS INOPERABLE. THE LIGHT STAYING ON CAUSES SEVERAL ISSUES...BATTERY DRAIN AND THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE DOORS. THIS HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THE TIMES NOW. IT STARTED AROUND 47,000 MILES AND CONTINUES NOW AT 52,000 MILES (WITH THE ADDITION OF THE REAR DOOR DOING IT ALSO AT THIS POINT). THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON MANY WEBSITES WITHOUT A PERMANENT FIX...EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT OF PARTS. NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING IN SOME AREAS DUE TO THE FACT ANYONE COULD JUMP INTO THE CAR NOT TO MENTION THE DOORS COULD BE OPENED BY CHILDREN IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.

DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY MALFUNCTION IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN BACKING UP AT NIGHT. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT NOW THE BACK DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS SHOWING AJAR THEREFORE THE INTERIOR LIGHTING IS ON AND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. MAKING THINGS MORE DIFFICULT IS THAT THE BACK UP CAMERA HAS STOPPED WORKING ALSO.

DOOR AJAR WARNING ISSUE-OF COURSE WARRANTY IS OVER, FORD IS REALLY NOT TRYING TO SATISFY IT'S CUSTOMERS. I REFUSE TO BRING TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY CHARGE UNREASONABLE RATES AND LOOK FOR OTHER ISSUES NOT ASSOCIATED TO MY REASON FOR BRINGING IN THE CAR. I WILL TRY TO REPAIR MYSELF OR BRING TO A MOM AND POP REPAIR SHOP.

DOOR AJAR LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN WITH DOORS SECURELY CLOSED. THEY GO OFF RANDOMLY SO DOME LIGHTS COME ON EVEN WITH NOBODY IN CAR CAUSING MY BATTERY TO DRAIN. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COME ON RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING CAUSING AN ANNOYING DISTRACTION. THIS AFFECTS BOTH FRONT DOORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT REOPENED AND CLOSED THE DOOR, BUT THE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A FREEWAY RAMP TOWARDS A STOP LIGHT AND PRESSED THE BRAKES. THE CAR DIDN'T SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO STEP ON THE BRAKES COMPLETELY APPLYING PRESSURE AND THE CAR DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THERE WAS A HISSING NOISE THAT I HEARD FROM BELOW THE INSIDE OF MY CAR NEAR BRAKES. MY CAR PROVIDE ANY WARNING OF MALFUNCTION.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR MALFUNCTION. SENSOR WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE. ALSO CAUSES A STRAIN ON BATTERY WHEN EXITING VEHICLE BECAUSE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A WHILE. THIS IS OCCURRING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR.

CAR HAS STALLED TWO TIMES, ONE TIME WAS WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS GOING FULL SPEED 55MPH , HAD NO ISSUES LEADING UP TO IT, I SLOWED DOWN TO RUN AND IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN - NO POWER STEERING, NO ACCELERATION IT WAS DEAD, THE ENGINE WAS OFF BUT THE CAR WAS STILL ON. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS A HORRIBLE TIME FOR IT TO DIE. I WAS ABLE TO, BARELY, MAKE THE TURN WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND PULL OVER. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. THE OTHER TIME IT HAPPENED WAS MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAD JUST STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN REVERSE, AGAIN THE CAR ON BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. THE ISSUE I HAVE HERE IS JUDGING BY THE ONLINE POSTS THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF FORD SUV'S BUT BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A RECALL THE SERVICE PEOPLE HAVE TO SEE IT ACTUALLY HAPPENING, SO IT NEVER CAN GET FIXED, BECAUSE IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD AND NOT ISSUING A RECALL, PUTTING LIVES IN DANGER - I WILL BE SELLING ALL OF OUR FORDS ( WE HAVE 3).

MY TRCT CNTRL LIGHT HAD COME ON A FEW MONTHS AGO, I HAD NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED YET AND AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND MY CAR STOPPED. I TOOK IT IN, AND AS TOLD IT WAS A BAD FUSE. A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, HIT A SMALL PUDDLE THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND I STALLED IN THE FAST LANE ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS NOT HIT BUT I COULD OF BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS IS BECOMING A HUGE PROBLEM!
