2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH AND MESSAGE APPEARS ON DASH CLUSTER TELLING ME THAT MY DRIVER DOOR AJAR AND DOME LIGHT COMES ON. 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

DRIVER DOOR LATCH IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO TELL ME THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS CLOSED. HAD BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO GO AWAY BEFORE, BUT NOW IT WON'T GO AWAY. THIS IS CAUSING MY DOME LIGHT TO STAY ON FOR 20 MINUTES AT A TIME AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN LOCK IT IS TO MANUALLY PRESS THE LOCK BUTTON WHILE THE DOOR IS OPEN. *TR

STARTED SEEING THE WARNING INFO., THAT THE DRIVER DOOR WAS 'AJAR,' EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CLOSED. THIS WAS INTERMITENT, NOW HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER, BUT OF COURSE, WE ARE OUTSIDE THE 36K WARRANTY. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE $450 TO REPLACE AND APPEARS THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF THEIR VEHICLES, SO PERHAPS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR THEY SHOULD EXTEND THE COVERAGE AND REPAIR AT N/C. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON AND DOES NOT GO OFF. DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS TO STAY ON FOR SOME TIME MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE WARNING BELLS TO GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. A LIGHT WILL GO ON TELLING YOU TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. VERY DISTRACTIVE. DOOR LOCKS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS IN ITSELF. DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS A FAULTY DOOR AJAR SENSOR. THEY WANT $500 TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE. SEARCHING THE WEB SHOWS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FORD PRODUCTS THAT THEY ARE QUITE AWARE OF. I FEEL FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY RELATED ISSUES ON THEIR PRODUCTS AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO MAKE THESE CARS SAFE. THANK YOU *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING COMES UP EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED. I HAD THIS "FIXED" AT TEAM FORD IN LAS VEGAS EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND IT IS COMING ON AGAIN. *JS

THE BATTERY WAS GOING DEAD WHEN VEHICLE LEFT OFF AND PARKED OVERNIGHT. THE GEAR SHIFT IS NOT COMMUNICATING THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND THE DISPLAYS WOULD COME ON AND DRAIN THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT. THE ERROR WAS MIS-DIAGNOSED AND A NEW BATTERY WAS PURCHASED. THE ISSUES CONTINUED AND THE DEALERSHIP STATES IT IS THE GEAR SHIFTER WIRING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM, THERE IS NOTHING TO BE DONE IN NORMAL DAILY USE THAT COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS. *TR

2012 FORD EDGE DOOR LATCH, FORD EDGE DOOR AJAR ALERT/NOTIFICATION - FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM THINKS A DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IN FACT IT IS NOT. THERE ARE DOZENS OF FORUMS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND THAT DIRECT PEOPLE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THIS WEBSITE; AS MOST BELIEVE FORD SHOULD RECALL SAID VEHICLES TO CORRECT THE MANUFACTURING ERROR THAT IS SO BLATANTLY APPARENT. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL NOT CLEAR. DOOR IS FULLY SHUT, BUT DOOR AJAR ALARM IS ALWAYS ON, INTERIOR LIGHT IS ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. *TR

DOOR AJAR SENSOR WAS BAD ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WOULD STAY ON CONSTANTLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.
