2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

DOOR SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. "DOOR AJAR" NOTICE CONTINUES TO STAY ON, EVEN THOUGH THE DOORS ARE ALL CLOSED. IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

POWER STEERING LINE FAILED AT 36,000 -- VEHICLE IS 2YRS OLD. WHINING NOISE WHEN CAR IS STARTED, LOUDER WHEN TURNING WHEEL -- GOES AWAY WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP (WHEN FLUID HAS RETURNED TO PUMP). *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG TURNS OFF AND THEN BACK ON AFTER FROM ONE TO 30 MINUTES OR MORE WHILE DRIVING DEALER-NO TROUBLE FOUND. REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES. DEALER FINALLY REPLACED SENSOR MODULE 2/17/14. WAS BETTER, BUT STILL FAILED WHEN MY FRIEND WHO WEIGHS 110 POUNDS WAS IN THE SEAT. DEALER REPLACED PASSENGER SEAT TRACKS ON 5/19/15. BETTER, BUT STILL FAILED. BACK TO DEALER ON 6/17/14 AND AGAIN ON 9/18/14. FINALLY SAID THE SYSTEM WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED EVEN THOUGH MY FRIEND WEIGHS 110 POUNDS. THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAYS THAT THE AIR BAG SHOULD BE OFF WHEN THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY A SMALL CHILD. MY FRIEND IS NOT A SMALL CHILD AND ALWAYS WEARS HER SHOULDER AND LAP BELT. THE SYSTEM WORKED PERFECTLY FOR THE FIRST 29,000 MILES AND THEN STARTED FAILING. THE BAD PART IS THAT THE SIDE AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED ANYTIME THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF, THUS SHE WOULD HAVE NO PROTECTION IN ANY KIND OF A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT. THE FINAL WORDS FROM THE DEALER ARE, "UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM OPERATION. OCCUPANT DETERMINED TO BE SMALL IN STATURE CAUSING SYSTEM TO DEACTIVATE. REVIEWED WITH FSE WHO IS IN AGREEMENT AT THIS TIME". THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. THE DEALER WON'T SAY, OR CAN'T GET ANY ANSWER FROM ENGINEERING AS TO THE MINIMUM WEIGHT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT TO ACTIVATE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THERE MUST BE A SPEC THAT ALL CARS MUST MEET. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. EVEN THOUGH DOOR APPEARS CLOSED, THE SENSOR INDICATES IT IS NOT CLOSED. THIS RESULTS IN THE DOME LIGHTS BEING ON, EVEN WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. IT ALSO REGULARLY TELLS ME TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, EVEN WHEN DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

ALMOST RAN MY 2012 EDGE INTO THE BACK OF AN 18 WHEELER TODAY WITH MY SON IN THE CAR WHEN MY BRAKES FAILED! I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO EXPRESS OIL SINCE THE SERVICE DEPT AT THE DEALERSHIP HAD ALREADY CLOSED FOR THE DAY. THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER CAUSING THE ISSUE. SINCE IT SHOULD STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY I ELECTED TO TAKE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING MONDAY AM. ONE OF THE GUYS FOLLOWED ME HOME TO ENSURE WE MADE IT SAFELY. MY CAR STALLED 3 TIMES IN A 10 MILE RADIUS, AGAIN 3 MORE TIMES THAT I COULD'VE BEEN THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SUCH ISSUES AT ALMOST 3 YEARS OLD WITH 57K MILES ON IT! I HAVE DONE A WEB SEARCH AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE! WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL? THIS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD'VE EASILY COST US OUR LIVES AND POSSIBLY OTHERS TODAY IF I HAD NOT HAD THE SPACE TO SWERVE TO AVOID COLLISION! FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS THE BRAKES HAVE NOT FELT "RIGHT", THEY FELT "AIRY" AND RECENTLY BEGAN MAKING A HIGH PITCHED SQUEALING/HISSING SOUND. THEY WOULD GO FROM BEING VERY STIFF TO SINKING RIGHT INTO THE FLOOR. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAD TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR EVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MONDAY MORNING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH ON A FLAT ROAD ON A SUNNY DAY THAT WAS 75 DEGREES. MY FORD EDGE ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST ALL POWER AND THE AWD OFF INDICATOR CAME ON ALONE WITH A LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR DO ANYTHING. I LIMPED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT IT IN PARK WHEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE, SO I SHUT IT OFF. I SAT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN, TRIED TO GO BACK ON THE ROAD AND IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING EXCEPT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN. I LIMPED HOME BECAUSE IT WAS SUNDAY AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. I AM VERY UPSET, AND I AM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT, I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS WHEN I HAVE THE BABY IN THE CAR. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW, BUT I DO SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY EXPENSES THAT MAY COME WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

BOTH DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER DOORS AJAR SENSORS DO NO WORK PROPERLY. THE DOORS ARE SHUT AND THE VEHICLE SENSORS DO NOT REFLECT THAT. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUOUSLY REPORTS DRIVER'S DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING (CAN'T PREVENT CHILDREN FROM OPENING DOORS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION). ALSO, THIS CAUSES THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO CONTINUOUSLY ASK THE DRIVER TO SHIFT TO PARK WHEN COMING TO A STOP. ALSO, THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTING TO FAIL TO DIM UNTIL THE CAR IS IN FORWARD MOTION. *TR

THE WARNING SIGNAL "SHIFT TO PARK" AND "DRIVERS DOOR AJAR" IS CONSTANTLY ON. IT WAS INTERMITTENT FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS, BUT NOW IT IS CONSTANTLY ON, NO MATTER HOW HARD I SLAM THE DOOR. SO I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WARNING SIGNALS AND BELLS. THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHEN I'M DRIVING. I CANNOT LOCK MY CAR WHEN I LEAVE IT, AS THE LIGHTS INSIDE WILL NOT GO OFF. I THINK FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. *TR

DOOR AJAR INDICATOR DOES NOT GO OFF AFTER PASSENGER DOOR IS CLOSED. CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD BUT OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE. THEREFORE, DEALER CHARGED $430 TO FIX. THANKS AND GOODBYE FORD! *TR
