2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

MY DRIVE SIDE DOOR DOES NOT SENSE IT IS CLOSED AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON LONGER. PERIODICALLY BECAUSE THE SWITCH IS SAYING THE DOOR IS OPEN, THE DOME LIGHT, HEADLIGHTS AND REAR LIGHTS WILL GO ON WHEN NOBODY IS IN THE CAR. *TR

A MESSAGE WARNING "SHIFT TO PARK" APPEARS ON THE CAR DASHBOARD WHEN THE CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN PUT INTO PARK POSITION. THIS WARNING MESSAGE DISALLOWS THE DRIVER TO TURN THE CAR OFF - SHUT OF THE ENGINE. THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK AND MESSAGE LIGHT CONTINUES TO BE ON DISPLAY ON DASHBOARD. *TR

WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED THE DOOR ALARM STILL GOES OFF AND SHOWS DOOR OPEN ON SCREEN. AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES, IT SOMETIMES GOES OFF AND SOMETIMES STAYS ON. VERY ANNOYING. FORD SHOULD FIX. HAVE HAD TO DRIVE DOWN ROAD WITH ALARM GOING OFF EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS CLOSED AND LOCKED. *TR

ONE DAY WHILE PREPARING TO DRIVE THE KIDS TO SCHOOL, I ENTERED THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND SHUT THE DOOR. I STARTED THE ENGINE VIA THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION AND THE DASH GAVE AN AUDIBLE ALARM AND LIGHT FOR MY DRIVER DOOR BEING AJAR. I OPENED MY DOOR AND FIRMLY CLOSED IT. THE LIGHT REMAINED SHOWING MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AS BEING AJAR. SINCE THEN THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE. THE PROXIMITY UNLOCK FEATURE OF MY VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK ON THIS SIDE NOW EITHER, I ASSUME DUE TO IT NOT REGISTERING THE DOOR AS CLOSED. THIS FEATURE WORKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE I DO NOT HAVE THIS DOOR AJAR ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING THE AUTO-LOCK FEATURE DOES NOT WORK EITHER DUE TO IT REGISTERING THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AJAR. *TR

PERIODICALLY WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THEY BECOME VERY WEAK NOT STOPPING THE VEHICLE UNLESS BRAKE IS STOMPED ON. TWO DIFFERENT DRIVERS LISTED ABOVE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TODAY 09-29-14. THEY CALLED BACK TODAY TO EXPLAIN THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL TAKE BETWEEN 1-2 WEEKS BECAUSE PART IS NOT IN STOCK AND THEY ARE BACK ORDERED. DEALER NICE AND GAVE US RENTAL. THIS ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT TODAY AND ON SATURDAY AS ALMOST MISSED STOPPING AND ALMOST ROLLING INTO INTERSECTION. GOOD THING MY WIFE AND I ARE STRONG AND COULD GET IT STOPPED. WE JUST HOPE THAT THIS DOES NOT CAUSE SOMEONE TO HAVE A BAD ACCIDENT. SHOULD BE RECALLED! *TR

PROBLEM: DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING COMES ON EVEN IF DOOR IS SHUT. I DROVE IT LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS WHEN BOTH HIGH BEAMS AND REGULAR BEAM HEADLIGHTS BURNED OUT SIMULTANEOUSLY AT NIGHT. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH FLASHERS UNTIL A GAS STATION TO CALL MY WIFE AND COME GET ME. I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND THEY SAID THERE MIGHT BE A SHORT DUE TO DOOR LATCH PROBLEM, SO THEY SUGGESTED I REPLACE BATTERY AND HEADLIGHTS FOR $400+. BY THE WAY, THE DEALER SAID HE OILED THE DOOR LATCH AND IT WAS FIXED. IT WAS NOT FIXED. THE DOOR AJAR WARNING STILL COMES ON AS I DRIVE. WHAT IS BAD IS WHEN I PARK IN A PUBLIC LOT, THE CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF INTERIOR LIGHTS AS THE CAR THINKS DOOR IS AJAR. IN ADDITION, I CAN NOT LOCK THE CAR WITH THE FOB SO I NEED TO LOCK EACH DOOR SEPARATELY AND KEEP SLAMMING DOORS UNTIL IT GOES OFF. AT LOW SPEEDS UNDER 20MPH THE DOOR AJAR WARNING SAYS PUT CAR IN PARK. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO PUT A ROLLING CAR IN PARK BECAUSE OF A FAULTY DOOR LATCH SENSOR! ALL I ASK IS A RECALL OR AT LEAST HAVE THE DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND FIX IT. *TR

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR ALERT WILL NOT TURN OFF. COMPUTER SAYS TO PUT CAR IN PARK AND SHUT DOOR. THIS DOES NOT RESOLVE THE DOOR AJAR ERROR. *TR A SECOND PROBLEM IS NOW OCCURRING; THE BACK UP CAMERA MESSAGE IS ASKING IF YOU WANT IT ON. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MINE ON, SO WHY IS IT CONTINUALLY ASKING. A THIRD PECULIAR BEHAVIOR I'M NOTICING IS THAT WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, IF YOU HAD THE RADIO ON, IT NORMALLY STAYS ON UNTIL YOU OPEN THE DOOR, NOW, THE RADIO SHUTS OFF IMMEDIATELY AS DO THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTS.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT FOR DRIVER'S DOOR KEEPS GOING ON AND WE ARE UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS (AND THE DOOR IS LATCHED). IT IS A DISTRACTION TO HAVE THE WARNING LIGHT GO ON INDICATING YOU SHOULD PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. WHEN MINOR CHILDREN ARE PASSENGERS THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS SINCE A LARGE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE ARE BEING FILED. *TR

GAS THROTTLE QUIT WORKING. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKED. ENGINE WOULD NOR REV WHEN ACCELERATOR PRESSED. SEE MANUAL LIGHT APPEARED WITH A WRENCH SYMBOL ON DASH. COASTED INTO PARKING LOT AND PUT CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED. EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THE NEXT MORNING, THE CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING. TOOK THE CAR TO FORD DEALER AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON COMPUTER SCAN AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THEY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THE THROTTLE BODY,BUT COULDN'T CONFIRM. I KNOW FORD JUST RECALLED SEVERAL CARS THIS YEAR FOR EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AND ARE REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODIES. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING ON OTHER EDGE MODELS. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT/WARNING APPEARS EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS ALL DOORS FROM LOCKING. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE WARNING IS NOT ON BUT AFTER A PASSENGER CLOSES THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING TURNS ONS. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SERVICED ONCE BY FORD BUT IT IS NOT HAPPENING AGAIN. FORD ISSUES A SERVICE BULLETIN BUT THAT APPEARS TO BE ONLY A STOP GAP MEASURE SINCE THE PROBLEM RECURS. *TR
