2010 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

My car has a faulty latch system in the driver side door. My door is completely shut however the warning light for an open door stays on and I am unable to lock my car while driving as this light stays on. This is also causing my lights to stay on as well. This is a safety concern because I have 2 children and I cannot lock my doors from the inside of my car while the car is in motion. I hit the lock button and since my car is showing that there is an open door, they immediately unlock and stay that way, which is a safety issue not only for myself but my children as well. I’ve had this issue for a couple of years now and went online and saw that several other ford edge owners have had the same problem.

HARD, CLUNKING NOISE/VIBRATION/IMPACT WHEN STARTING VEHICLE, SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, REVERSE TO PARK, REVERSE TO DRIVE, DRIVE TO REVERSE, PARK TO DRIVE, AND DRIVE TO PARK. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VIOLENTLY. LOSE SPEED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER GO BLANK, NO DISPLAY. LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOUND WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF SEARCH.

MY 2010 EDGE IS DEALING WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT, A WRENCH, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL COMING ON AND OFF WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE (IN PARK OR IN ANY DRIVING CONDITION). WHEN THESE LIGHTS COME ON I PRETTY MUCH LOSE THE ABILITY TO BREAK ON MY OWN, IT RESISTS AND GRINDS WHEN BREAKING WITH THE LIGHTS ON. THE LIGHTS CAN COME AND GO FOR DAYS AT A TIME OR FOR ONLY A FEW MILES. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HESITATES ON TAKE OFF WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE ON. CODE READER DOESN'T REALLY TELL US ANYTHING USEFUL. IF CODES ARE CLEARED IT EVENTUALLY WILL COME BACK ON AND CONTINUE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM BY WHAT I'M FINDING, FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THIS WIRING/ELECTRICAL ISSUE. ANOTHER THING, THE SEATBELT LIGHT AND ALARM WILL NOT STOP GOING OFF, EVEN IF YOU ARE IN PARK FOR A...

DOOR AJAR LIGHT CONTINUALLY WENT ON AND OFF WHILE IN MOTION WHETHER ON A HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. NOTICED IT ALSO WENT ON DURING LEFT TURNS. DOOR LOCKS ON ALL DOORS WOULD CLICK ON AND OFF AT STOPS. I WASN'T SURE THAT DOORS WERE LOCKED WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. INTERNAL LIGHTS WOULD ALSO GO ON AN OFF. COMMON ISSUE ON THE INTERNET WITH FORD EDGES. IT'S ALL OVER AND FOR YEARS. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND HAD TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED AT A COST OF $542.83. I BELIEVE FORD NEEDS TO PAY FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THE PART NUMBER TO REPLACE WAS THE LATCH PART NUMBER 8T4Z 78264A27 A. SO A NEW DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED ALONG WITH THE REPAIR OF A WIRE IN THE DOOR HARNESS NEAR THE LH SIDE OF THE DOOR SPEAKER. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE.

I HAD THIS CAR IN A FORD GARAGE BACK IN JANUARTY I HAD TO SPEND OVER $2000.00 BECAUSE ONE OF THE ENGINE COILS BURNED UP AND DAMAGED THE COMPUTER FOR THE ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THE OTHERS SHOULD BE REPLACED ALSO, BUT COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE OF NO MONEY. AND ALSO THE BRAKES, ROTORS CALIPERS ON FRONT OF THIS CAR ARE A MESS. I HAD TO REPLACE EVERY BIT OF IT ALSO. THIS CARS SUCKS I HATE IT BUT /

REAR TURN SIGNAL LAMP AND SOCKET MELTED AND BURNT. HAPPENED TO RIGHT SIDE THEN SOON AFTER LEFT SIDE. REPLACEMENT IS SHOWING SIGNS OF MELTING ALREADY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHERE A FIRE COULD HAPPEN. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON AUTO FORUMS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER MODELS AND YEAR.

WHILE IN MOTION ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON AND A WARNING BEEP WOULD GO OFF. IT DID THIS FOR 2 DAYS, TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED THEY TOLD ME A NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. BOUGH THE BATTERY AND I STILL HAD SAME ISSUE. NOW THE CAR WON'T START AND THE FORD RETAILER WANTS $125 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR.

'TAKATA RECALL' I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND UNSAFE WITH MY FORD EDGE , FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP OR IN IDLE. THERE IS NO CODES OR ANY WARNING SIGNS THAT COMES UP . THE CAR JUST LOSSES POWER AND SHITS OFF ON ITS OWN. I AM TIRED OF FIXING AND SPENDING MONEY BEHIND MY FORD EDGE I KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS RECENTLY REPLACED LAST YEAR JULY UNDER WARRANTY ALSO I REPLACED ALL TENSIONS AND THE WATER PUMP ALSO SPARK PLUGS . I TOOK IT TO MY MAIN MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE PROBLEM HE TOLD ME TO GO TO FORD AND I WENT TO FORD AND THEY TOOK 2 DAYS TO TELL ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE PROBLEM . TODAY I WAS ON MY WAY...

DROVE CAR TO STORE, PARKED AND TURNED OFF. WHILE GATHERING MY PURSE I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM FRONT OF CAR. OPENED UP HOOD AND FLAMES IGNITED. APPEARED TO START @ O2 SENSOR @ MANIFOLD. BURNED 2ND COIL PACK AND WIRING HARNESS. BURNT UP RADIATOR FAN AND UPPER RADIATOR HOSE. FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED TO PUT OUT. CAR IS AT LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE HOW AND WHY FIRE STARTED. SO FAR NO RESPONSE OR IDEA FROM THEM. THEY SHOW ONE RECALL ON CORROSION OF FUEL TANK, BUT SAY IT DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE FIRE.

I AM REPORTING A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE WARNING MONITOR SENSOR SYSTEMS ON MY 2010 FORD EDGE. AS YOU MAY KNOW THERE IS A 'DOOR AJAR SENSOR' NOTIFICATION SYSTEM NOTIFYING THE DRIVER OF A DOOR BEING AJAR. THE PROBLEM IS THE SENSOR CONSTANTLY FAILS WHEN THE DOOR IS NOT AJAR OR SEEMS TO NOT BE AJAR. THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WHEN THERE IS THE DISPLAY ONE: 'NOT SURE DOORS ARE LOCKED, ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE IS TRANSPORTING CHILDREN. 'CAN NOT LOCK THE CAR DOORS ' THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. ALSO, WITH THE GREAT INCREASE IN 'CAR JACKINGS', NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS MAKES THE FAMILY VERY VULNERABLE. 'NEXT, THE DISPLAY LEAVES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON PUTTING AN UNNECESSARY DRAIN ON THE CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS COULD ADVERSELY SAFETY OF THE OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS CAUSING A FAILURE IN TRAFFIC. 'THE WARNING MESSAGE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRUNK DID NOT RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB. WHEN THE KEY FOB WAS PRESSED, THE TRUNK OPENED AND CLOSED REPEATEDLY. ONCE THE TRUNK WAS CLOSED MANUALLY, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING IN THE VEHICLE REMAINED ILLUMINATED, WHICH DRAINED THE BATTERY. THE CONTACT HAD TO TAKE THE CABLES OFF OF THE BATTERY AT THE END OF EACH DAY TO KEEP THE BATTERY FROM DRAINING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,967.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE INTERIOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE DOOR WAS PROPERLY CLOSED.

VOTH TAIL LIGHT/TURN SIGNAL BULBS ARE MELTED IN THEIR SOCKETS AND THE SOCKETS THEMSELVES ARE BURNT

REAR TAIL LIGHT REPLACEMENT FOR SECOND TIME ALONG WITH MARKER LIGHT. BOTH BULBS AND SOCKETS WERE BLACK AND HOT FROM EXTREME HEAT. CAUSE FOR CONCERN THAT THIS MAY START A FIRE.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, CAN'T LOCK DOORS. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME, HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT WHEN DRIVING WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY DUE TO LIGHT DRAINING BATTERY. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR

REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT BULB FOR THE FIRST TIME BY MYSELF NOT AT DEALER AND THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS TAIL LIGHT IS BURNT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CREATE ELECTRICAL FIRE I MY VEHICLE BULB 13466. SOCKET HOUSING 13411. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PARKED...WENT TO START VEHICLE...BRIGHT LIGHT INDICATOR WAS ON DASHBOARD, UNABLE TO MOVE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK UNLESS MANUALLY DONE, WHEN VEHICLE STARTS ALL INDICATORS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL COMES ON, NOTICES UNDER THE COMPUTER OUTPUT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATES A HOST OF PROBLEMS, SO BASICALLY THE COMPUTER HAS FAILED TO SOME NATURE CAUSING ERRORS TO SHOW. HAZARDS DON'T WORK, BRAKE AND TURN SIGNALS DON'T WORK, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL START AT LEAST UNTIL THE BATTERY IS DEAD FROM THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RUN IT OUT. HAD THIS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY TWICE THIS IS THE THIRD OCCURRENCE WITHOUT DETERMINATION OF PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR...I BELIEVE RESETTING THE COMPUTER IS THE ONLY OPTION BECAUSE DIAGNOSTICS RUN DO NOT INDICATE A KNOWN PROBLEM. MY BELIEF IS THAT AFTER 3 OCCURRENCES OF THIS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR IS A STRONG ELECTRICAL STORM OCCURRING PRIOR TO THE...

BOTH TAIL LIGHT SOCKETS FAILED AND MELTED. *TR

RT HEADLIGHT LAMP DISCONNECTED FROM ASSEMBLY CREATING SMOKE AND FLAMES IN COCKPIT OF VEHICLE AND DAMAGE TO ASSEMBLY. *TR
