2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED CAUSING DOORS TO REMAIN UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY REPLACE BACK IN JULY 2013 AT A COST OF $309. THE SAME ISSUE HAS REOCCURRED NEARLY 3 YRS. LATER. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO STATED SENSOR COULD NEED CLEANING FOR A COST OF $180 OR LATCH REPLACEMENT MIGHT BE REQUIRED AGAIN AT OVER $300. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE CAR LOSES ALMOST ALL ENGINE POWER WARNING LIGHT GOES ON TOWED TO DEALER TOLD THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACEMENT PART BACKORDERED NOW GOING ON 3 WEEKS CAR HAS 52000 MILES SERVICE ADVISORIES FOR THIS PART ON OTHER FORD MODELS NOT EDGE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, EXHAUST FUMES EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED WHICH CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND MAKING IT HARD TO SEE TO BACK UP AT NIGHT. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THIS SENSOR STAYS ON WHICH IS ESPECIALLY UNSAFE FOR TRANSPORTING CHILDREN OR SECURING YOURSELF IN YOUR CAR IN LESS THAN FAVORABLE CONDITIONS. BATTERY CAN RUN DOWN WITH LIGHTS STAYING ON LEAVING YOU STRANDED.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR LIGHT COMING ON. WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON IT CAUSES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON, MAKING DRIVING AT NIGHT VERY DIFFICULT. IT ALSO DOESN'T ALLOW THE DOORS TO BE LOCKED WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AS I TRAVEL WITH MY 1 AND 2 YEAR OLD GIRLS OFTEN. WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND I LOCK THE DOOR WITH THE KEY FOB, IF THE SENSOR IS ON THE HORN WILL HONK TWICE. THIS WILL CAUSE NOT ONLY MY INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON BUT ALSO MY EXTERIOR LIGHT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I'VE HAD TO REPLACE A FEW BATTERIES. THE 1ST TIME I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND ONLY HAPPENING OCCASIONALLY, I WAS TOLD TO SPRAY WD-40 ON THE LOCK LATCH AND THAT WOULD HELP. NOW ITS A CONSTANT THING AND OF COURSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. UGH I JUST WANT TO FEEL SAFE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR.

BACK CAMERA NOT WORKING PROPERLY, DOORS WILL NOT LOCK PROPERLY, FEAR FOR CHILDREN AND DOOR UNLOCKED

DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON DESPITE DOOR BEING SECURELY CLOSED WHICH PREVENTS DOOR FROM AUTO LOCKING AT SPEEDS OVER 15 MILES AN HOUR OR BEING ABLE TO BE LOCKED USING CONTROL PANEL OUTSIDE. POSES HAZARD AS IT CAN REGISTER AJAR WHILE DRIVING AND UNLOCK THE DOOR AT RANDOM.

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT SHOWS ACTIVE WHEN DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. AUTOMATIC LOCKS FAIL, INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINS ON. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS THAT HAVE BEEN VERIFIED AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS, AS DID THE SERVICE REPAIR MANAGER,AND THEY HAVE OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM.

DOOR LOCKS CONTAIN FAULTY "DOOR AJAR" SENSORS. THEY FALSELY REPORT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS PROPERLY LATCHED, PREVENTING YOU FROM LOCKING THE DOORS WHILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHILE STATIONARY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING THEY WILL TRIP TO "DOOR IS AJAR" TURNING ON THE DOME LIGHTING AND UNLOCKING THE DOORS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE MOVING, IT ALLOWS YOUNG CHILDREN TO OPEN THE DOORS, REGARDLESS OF THE LOCK SWITCH SETTINGS.

FAULTY DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY. FORD KNOWS OF ISSUE IN TSB'S. DOORS WON'T LOCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DUE TO DOOR AJAR BEING SENSED.
