CAR STALLED WHEN ENMOTION AT 40 MPH WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON ALSO AWD LIGHT STOP TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART CAR IT RUNS NORMAL AT THAT POINT BUT WILL DO AGAIN UNEXPECTING AT ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE .SPEED IS NO FACTOR AT ANY GIVEN SPEED IT WILL STALL.IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL. THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. WILL NOT GO OFF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU SHUT THE DOOR, THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON, RUNDS THE BATTERY DEAD. I HAVE TRIED EVERY THING INCLUDING WD 40. I BELIEVE IT IS THE SENSOR BUT I AM NOT A MECHANIC SO.... I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT EVERYONE THAT OWNS A FORD EDGE HAS THIS ISSUE. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.MY DRIVER DOOR HAS AT TIMES NOT LATCHED COMPLETELY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. FORD NEEDS TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND RECALL THIS ISSUE FOR EVERY ONE THAT OWNS A FORD EDGE. I HAVE BOUGHT FORDS FOR YEARS. THIS WILL BE MY LAST. THIS ISSUE IS EVERYTIME YOU ENTER THE VEHICLE. STATIONARY, DRIVING, FREEWAY, HIGHWAY, TURNING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NOW. HAS BEEN A CONTINUING PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR SWITCH IS FAILING CAUSING THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED AND THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE VEHICLE'S DOORS WHEN DRIVING OR WHEN PARKING VEHICLE. SEARCH ON INTERNET INDICATES ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD ON THIS VEHICLE LINE WITH REPAIR COSTS IN THE $30-$500 RANGE. VEHICLE HAS 68,000 MILES.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH WILL NOT LATCH PROPERLY CAUSING THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT TO STAY ON. THE DOOR SHUTS AND LOCKS BUT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK ALL THE DOORS BECAUSE IT IS SENSING THAT THE FRONT DOOR IS NOT SHUT. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON CAUSING IT HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUMED TO NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,800.

HAVE STARTED TO RECEIVE "DOOR AJAR WARNING" INDICATION WHEN THE DRIVER DOOR IS CLOSED. HAVE RESEARCHED ON-LINE SITES AND FOUND IT TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL FORD VEHICLE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE'S DOORS WILL REMAIN UNLOCKED UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED. IF I GET THE WARNING TO GO AWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY THE DOORS WILL LOCK AND I CAN BEGIN MY DRIVE. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AS I AM DRIVING THE WARNING WILL RETURN AND THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THIS CAN BE VERY UNNERVING AND FRIGHTENING AT TIMES AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON AS PART OF THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT THE DRIVER'S VISION IS COMPROMISED BY THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DRAWN AWAY FROM THE ROAD. IN ADDITION, THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE'S OCCUPANTS IS COMPROMISED AS THE DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AND A RECALL ISSUED. I HAVE INQUIRED WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE OF $600 FOR THE REPAIR TO BE MADE.
