2011 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

MY 2011 FORD EDGE WITH 28,000 MILES JUST DROPPED OUT OF THE THREE YEAR WARRANTY AND THE DOOR AJAR WARNING CAME ON AFTER SHUTTING MY CAR DOOR AND WOULD NOT GO OUT. THE DOOR WAS SHUT, BUT THE SENSOR STILL INDICATED THE DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED. AS A RESULT THE AUTO DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON. THIS PROBLEM GOT WORSE OVER TIME AND NOW THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR NEVER SHUTS OFF. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK AS THEY SHOULD AND IF THE DOOR DOES HAPPEN TO BE AJAR YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW. I BELIEVE THERE IS AN EXISTING SERVICE BULLETIN(TSB 14-0011) ON THIS, BUT IT SHOULD REALLY BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY FORDS. I GUESS FORD IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO FALL OUT OF A MOVING CAR AND...

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED AND QUICKLY LOST SPEED, AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I ATTEMPTED TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, HOWEVER NOTHING REACTED, THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. AFTER TURNING ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS, I WAS ABLE TO CREEP TO THE SHOULDER AND ON THEN ONTO THE OFF-RAMP WHERE I RESTARTED THE CAR. INITIALLY EVERYTHING WORKED; I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE, BUT SHORTLY AFTER THE JERKING/LOSS OF SPEED HAPPENED AGAIN. AFTER CALLING MY HUSBAND TO MEET ME WHERE I WAS STRANDED, I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO ACTIVE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. OUR CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD SHOP WHERE THEY TOLD US THAT OUR ELECTRONIC FUEL THROTTLE FAILED AND HAD TO BEEN REPLACED AT JUST ABOUT $900 (PLUS THE TOW). *TR

DOOR AJAR SIGNAL COMES ON DASH SIGNALING DRIVERS DOOR IS NOT CLOSED. ALL DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON. RECLOSING DOOR DOES NOT CHANGE STATUS. *TR

THE DOOR SENSOR ERRONEOUSLY INDICATES DOOR AJAR. THIS PREVENTS THE DOOR LOCKS FROM ACTUATING AND ALLOWS CHILDREN TO ACCIDENTALLY OPEN DOOR WHEN MOVING. ALSO THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AT HOURS OF DARKNESS, IMPEDING VISIBILITY. *TR

DOOR AJAR SWITCH WENT OUT ON FRONT DRIVER DOOR LAST YEAR WAS UNDER ELECTRICAL WARRANTY BUT NOW THE REAR LEFT DOOR HAS DONE THE SAME THING. *TR

THIS IS THE FOURTH OCCURRENCE OF THIS SITUATION. THE FIRST THREE TIMES, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. IT DOES NOT MATTER THE SPEED, THE WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE AMOUNT OF GAS, THE WEIGHT OF THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO ENSURE THE ISSUE WILL NOT HAPPEN, YET, IT CONTINUES. THE CAR SHUTS OFF, POWER STEERING IS UNAVAILABLE, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM GOES BLANK, THE TOOL LIGHT COMES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY DASH, AND THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SPUTTER. LUCKILY, ALL FOUR TIMES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I THEN RESTART AND DRIVE TO THE DEALER. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD POTENTIALLY BE FATAL, DEPENDING ON THE SURROUNDINGS. I HAVE BEEN TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND...

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON EVEN AFTER DOOR HAS BEEN CLOSED NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALERT SENSOR KEEPS COMING ON AND DOES NOT GO OFF WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW FOR AUTO LOCK ONCE IN DRIVE AND LEAVES DOME LIGHTS ON. *TR

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON 90% OF THE TIME WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. IT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IT WOULD DO IT OCCASIONALLY. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO WHERE IT IS PRETTY MUCH EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR. THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE ABOUT THIS CAR WHEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR

DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW MY DOORS TO LOCK WHILE IN DRIVE. WHEN I GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE, THE DOME LIGHTS, PUDDLE LIGHTS, AND HEADLIGHTS STAY ON AFTER LOCKING THE CAR WITH THE REMOTE AND EVENTUALLY DRAINED THE BATTERY. THE ISSUE IS WITH THE DOOR LATCH AND IT WAS ALREADY REPLACED BACK IN 4/12 BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. FROM WHAT IS READ ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS CLEARLY SHUT. LOOKED UP MULTIPLE FORUMS AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY $400 FOR THIS FIX! *TR

THE DRIVERS DOOR IS CLOSED BUT THE SWITCH INDICATES OPEN SO THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK; THE DOME LIGHTS STAYED ON WHEN DRIVING AFTER DARK AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. ALSO, THE DOME LIGHTS STAYED ON AND RAN THE BATTERY DOWN OVERNIGHT. *TR

THE "DOOR IS AJAR" (LEFT REAR) WARNING LIGHT IS ON EVEN THOUGH THE LEFT REAR DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED AND LOCKED. *TR

THE "DOOR AJAR" SENSOR HAS STOPPED WORKING TWICE NOW (REPLACED AT 32,000 MILES AND NOW NOT WORKING AGAIN AT 60,000). SIDE EFFECTS OF THIS INCLUDE HAVING THE DOME LIGHT STAY ON, NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE EXTERIOR KEYPAD LOCK TO LOCK THE DOOR (A SECURITY HAZARD FOR PEOPLE WHO COMMONLY USE THAT FEATURE) AND EXCESSIVE BATTERY WEAR. ALSO, POSSIBLY THE MOST SEVERE HAZARD, THE DRIVER COULD GET USED TO THE WARNING, IF NOT REPAIRED, AND NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THE DOOR OR ANOTHER IS *LEGITIMATELY* AJAR. IGNORING THE WARNING COULD CAUSE POTENTIALLY DEVASTATING RESULTS. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DOORS ARE CLOSED AND LIGHTS STAY LID ,ALARM WON'T ACTIVATE PROPERLY. *TR

THE "DOOR IS AJAR" (LEFT REAR) WARNING LIGHT IS ON EVEN THOUGH THE LEFT REAR DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED AND LOCKED. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR STAYS ON, EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS FIRM SLAMS OF THE DRIVER - THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND ALSO ANNOYS WHILE DRIVING. DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT AND LOCKED AND INDICATOR CONTINUES TO STAY ON. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. *TR

MY VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN SLOWED DOWN TO A COAST AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. A YELLOW ICON APPEARED AND INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER ASAP, THERE IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE VEHICLE'S AWD SYSTEM. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN OF THE CAR. THE CAR THEN STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP I GOT HIT WITH A $1,000 BILL, FOR THE PART (THROTTLE BOX CONTROLLER) $475, LABOR $120, RE PROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER $130, FUEL INJECTOR CLEANING $159 AND OIL CHANGE $75. MY CAR IS ALMOST THREE YEARS OLD AND I TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT'S PART AND LABOR REPLACEMENT COST IS $1000 IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS. *TR

THE PASSENGER DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS PROPERLY SHUT. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON UNTIL YOU BEGIN DRIVING THE CAR. IN ONE INSTANCE THE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF AFTER PARKING THE CAR, SHUTTING ALL DOORS AND LOCKING THE CAR. THE LIGHT STAYED ON OVERNIGHT AND DRAINED THE BATTERY. WE HAVE SINCE PULLED THE FUSE TO ELIMINATE THE LIGHT PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY FORD. *TR

THE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYS WHEN THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED DUE TO A FAULTY DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY. DOORS WILL NOT AUTO LOCK WHILE DRIVING AND CANNOT BE LOCKED USING THE LOCK SWITCH ON THE DOOR PANEL OR WITH THE KEY PAD ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR. IN ORDER TO LOCK THE DOORS THEY MUST BE EITHER MANUALLY LOCKED OR LOCKED USING THE KEY FOB. ISSUE WAS INTERMITTENT AT 34000 MILES AND AT 37500 MILES THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY FULLY FAILED. FORD INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL ONLY COVERS THE REPAIR IF WITHIN 3 YEARS OR 36000 MILES OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT WITHOUT A RECALL CANNOT OFFER ANY COMPENSATION FOR THIS ISSUE. I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY PUBLICIZED SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM, BUT HOPE THAT...

PASSENGER DOOR AJAR ALARM HAS CAME ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS CLOSED. WE ALREADY HAD BACK HATCH JAM FIXED ONCE. PASSENGER ALARM WILL GO OFF BY ITSELF WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING OR IF YOU STOP AFTER 5 MILES AND OPEN THEN CLOSE DOOR. *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY FORD EDGE DOWN THE HIGHWAY, IT SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND HAVE TO PULL OFF ROAD. HAS HAPPENED 3X SO TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT $900 TO FIX! REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE A THROTTLE BODY GOES OUT AFTER 3 YEARS. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AND CAN NOT LOCK VEHICLE DOORS... STAYS ON EVEN WHILE DRIVING... OPEN AND CLOSE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES MAY OR MAY NOT CAUSE DOOR AJAR LIGHTS TO GO OUT.. USUALLY NOT.... BATTERY RUNS DOWN... CAN'T LEAVE VEHICLE AT STORE OR WORK LOCATION BECAUSE OF DOORS NOT LOCKING... FORD DEALER DID A "REPAIR" IN FEBRUARY 2014 THAT LASTED UNTIL MID AUGUST 2014.. FORD SAYS THIS IS NOT A RECALL EVENT...????? THIS STARTED DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD, BUT GOT WORSE... WHEN WE REALIZED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS GETTING WORSE, THE WARRANTY PERIOD WAS OVER.. BY LESS THAN 800 MILES... *TR

DOOR AJAR CAME ON WON'T SHUT OFF CAN'T LOCK DOORS. SAFETY IF SOMEONE CAN GET IN CAR WHILE YOUR DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN ALL THE DOORS WERE CLOSED. THE INTERIOR LIGHTING ILLUMINATED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY TO LOSE POWER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC SENSOR ON THE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR SWITCH MALFUNCTION CAUSING LOCKS TO MALFUNCTION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY CITY STREET WITH MY DAUGHTER WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND PROCEEDED TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. A WARNING LIGHT (THE WRENCH) POPPED UP WHILE THIS HAPPENED. I WAS LUCKILY IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROAD INTO A PRIVATE DRIVE. THE VEHICLE THEN COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO DRIVE DOWN THE PRIVATE ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE AGAIN STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND STALL. I THEN CALLED AAA AND HAD A TOW TRUCK PICK UP MY VEHICLE AND TOW IT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT IS WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THE PART JUST HAPPENED TO NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHY IS A PART THAT CAN CAUSE...

AS I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, FELT A JERK, AND THEN NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR WAS JUST IN IDLE, WITH NOTHING I COULD DO. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT (CHECK ENGINE) CAME ON. LUCKILY, I COULD EASILY PULL OVER, SINCE I HAD NO CONTROL OVER MY SPEED, EXCEPT FOR BRAKING. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, AND TURNED IT BACK ON, AND IT SEEMED TO BE FINE. 5 MINUTES LATER, DRIVING ON A FOUR LANE ROAD, THE ACCELERATOR WENT UNRESPONSIVE AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO A SIDE STREET WITH MY EXISTING MOMENTUM (THERE WAS NO SHOULDER OR SPACE ON THE MAIN ROAD). I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY. THE NEXT MORNING, THE SAME THING OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL (I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD), AND AGAIN, ABOUT 50 FEET FROM THE...

DOOR AJAR INDICATION ON DASH FOR BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOORS BEGAN TO BE INTERMITTENT EVEN AFTER THE DOORS ARE SHUT TIGHT WITH MULTIPLE CLOSURES. CAR LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON AND CAR BATTERY WOULD BE DISCHARGE (WOULD NOT START AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES. I HAD TO REMOVED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FRONT OVER THE DASH, REAR CEILING LIGHTS AND TRUNK LIGHTS TO PREVENT THE BATTERY FROM DISCHARGING. BATTERY STILL BE DISCHARGED BUT LESS FAST. CAR NOW BEGINS BEEPING HORN WHEN THE BATTERY GETS LOW. CAR WILL NOT LOCK UNLESS THE KEY FOB IS A SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE. CAR HAS KEYLESS ENTRY AND WILL NOT LOCK UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. ESTIMATED REPAIR WILL BE OVER $400.00 AND THIS IS NOT GUARANTEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM WILL NOT RE-OCCUR SINCE FORD HAS NOT FIXED THE DESIGN OF THE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON ALL THE TIME, ELLUDING TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR BEING OPEN, WHEN IT IS NOT. WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK MY DOORS WHEN DRIVING, MAKING IT UNSAFE AND WEARING DOWN MY BATTERY. *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYED LIT AT TIMES, CLOSING THE DOOR A LITTLE HARDER STOPPED WORKING. NOW THE WARNING IS CONSTANT AND MY DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING. ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON UNTIL IT DRAINED THE BATTERY. WITH NEW BATTERY THE ONLY WAY THE LIGHTS EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF IS IF THE CAR IS LOCKED, BUT THE LIGHTS DO STAY ON FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. DEALER CLAIMS THE BATTERY SAVER KICKS IN AND SHUT THE LIGHTS OFF "EVENTUALLY" THIS IS NOT THE CASE IF YOU LEAVE THE VEHICLE UNLOCKED OVER NIGHT. *TR

THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING ON THE DRIVER DOOR IS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. NOT SURE IF IT I SAFE TO DIVE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS SHUT, THE DRIVE SIDE DOOR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON. IT WILL NOT GO OUT UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. WE HAVE TO CHECK THE VEHICLE PERIODICALLY TO BE SURE THEY TURN OFF. WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED OUTSIDE AND NO ONE IS NEAR THE VEHICLE, THE ALARM WILL GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAPPENS DURING THE DAY AND AT NIGHT. IT SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED AFTER THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WARNING LIGHT STARTED STAYING ON. OUR VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, THEY STATED THEY SEE THE PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WARNING LIGHT A LOT BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT. THE REPAIR CAN BE AS MUCH AS $500.00. *TR

DOOR AJAR SENSOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR. THE SENSOR SAYS THE DOOR IS AJAR, BUT IT IS NOT, AND WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, WHICH IS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR ERROR. *TR

DOOR AJAR SWITCH WAS REPLACED BY DEALER AT ONE YEAR OF AGE AS DOOR AJAR ALARM CAUSED DOORS TO UNLOCK AND INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS TO COME ON- IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. NEW SWITCH LASTED TWO YEARS(ORIGINAL SWITCH WAS REPLACED AT ONE YEAR). NOW IN 2014 THE SWITCH IS DEFECTIVE AGAIN!. SAFETY CONCERN ON NIGHT DRIVING WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS ON (THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THEM OFF OTHER THAN REMOVING THE BULBS!) AND SECURITY CONCERNS AS WHEN DOOR AJAR COMES ON THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK! FORD ENGINEERS NEED TO DRIVE IN DETROIT AT NIGHT AND SAY THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE! OR FEDS NEED TO DRIVE IN DC AT NIGHT AND SAY THIS IS NOT AN AUTO SAFETY ISSUE!COPS TELL ME TO TURN OFF INTERIOR LIGHTS AT NIGHT DRIVING! *TR

THE ALARM COMES ON FOR NO REASON. THE FRONT DRIVER PANEL SAYS THE REAR LEFT DOOR IS OPEN, EVEN AFTER CLOSING IT REPEATEDLY, THE PANEL STILL SAYS THE REAR LEFT DOOR IS OPEN. *TR

I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT MY 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED AWD, I'VE HAD IT LESS THEN TWO MONTHS . THEN ONE MORNING AS I WAS COMMUTING TO WORK I LOST POWER TO MY EDGE. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR APPROX. 68 DEGREES, A BEAUTIFUL FRIDAY MORNING I WAS DRIVING I FELT A JOLT LIKE A KICK IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY A FLASH OF THE TOOL SYMBOL & ?AWD OFF? ON MY FRONT INSTRUMENT PANEL. I LOST ACCELERATION POWER. I HAD NOWHERE TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD JUST CAME OUT OF A SHARP CURVE. ALL I COULD DO WAS PUT THE EDGE IN PARK. TURN OFF, THEN TURN BACK ON, IT STARTED RIGHT UP LUCKILY. THE NEXT DAY MY HUSBAND TOOK THE EDGE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPT. HOOKED UP THE EDGE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS/ERRORS/CODES. ALTHOUGH THEY SAID IT IS PROBABLY...

DOOR AJAR LIGHTS CONSTANTLY ON SAYING DOORS ARE OPEN. LIGHTS STAY ON BECAUSE IT THINKS DOORS ARE OPEN. CANNOT LOCK FROM KEYLESS ENTRY PAD. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AGO NOT SURE OF DATE THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T LIST. IT IS DRIVERS DOOR AGAIN AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR. TWO AT A TIME! REAR DOOR IS HARDLY USED. VERY DISGUSTING AND COSTLY REPAIRS AGAIN . *TR

AT FIRST, ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AGO, DOOR LOCK SENSOR INDICATED RIGHT FRONT DOOR NOT CLOSED. WARNING APPEARED ON DASH. AUTOMATIC LOCKING AT 10 MPH OK HAPPENED FOR A WHILE, BUT WITHIN PAST FEW DAYS, AUTO LOCK DOES NOT HAPPEN. IN FACT, IF DOOR LOCKED MANUALLY AFTER STARTING, ALL DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WITHIN SECONDS--WHETHER VEHICLE PARKED OR IN MOTION (WITH IGNITION ON). IN SHORT, LOCKING DOORS IS NOT POSSIBLE AND ALL DOORS ARE UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING. LOCKING DOORS IS ONLY POSSIBLE WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND MOTOR IS OFF. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR COMES ON & DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. DOME LIGHTS STAY ON LONGER. THIS HAPPENS DAILY!!!!! *TR

DRIVER DOOR LATCH REPORTS DOOR AJAR WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS DOORS FROM BEING LOCKED WHILE MOVING. THIS CAUSES DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON AFTER PARKED AND INABILITY TO USE TOUCH LOCK FEATURES. *TR

DRIVER DOOR SAYS IT'S OPEN WHEN IT'S NOT. *TR

THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR SAYS DOOR IS AJAR. DOORS CAN NOT LOCK, AND DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE, HOWEVER THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON PLACE. *TR

THIS FIRST HAPPENED THE DAY AFTER HAVING THE CAR SERVICED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. MY WIFE SAID SHE GOT IN THE CAR, SHUT THE DOOR AS USUAL AND STARTED THE ENGINE. IMMEDIATELY, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING THE DRIVER'S DOOR BEING AJAR. SHE OPENED & CLOSED THE DOOR NUMEROUS TIMES, AND FINALLY THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF. A WEEK LATER, THIS IS STILL HAPPENING AT VARIOUS TIMES WITH NO RHYME OR REASON. ALSO, WHEN EXITING THE CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO LOCK THE DOOR BY USING THE SWIPING MOTION ON THE DOOR HANDLE, WHICH HAS WORKED LIKE A CHARM SINCE WE DROVE IT OFF THE DEALERSHIP LOT IN SEPTEMBER 2010, THE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK, NOR DOES PRESSING THE LAST TWO BUTTONS ON THE KEYLESS ENTRY PAD. ONCE AGAIN, OPEN THE DOOR - SHUT THE DOOR ONE OR MORE TIMES, AND IT WORKS. LOOKING AT SEVERAL OTHERS THAT...

DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH REPORTS DOOR IS AJAR, WHICH PREVENTS CAR FROM LOCKING DOORS WHEN CAR IS MOVING. OTHER SIDE EFFECTS - CAN'T USE TOUCH-LOCK FEATURES, LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON AFTER CAR IS LOCKED ETC. *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED AS WELL AS WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING. INTERIOR AS WELL AS PUDDLE LIGHTS COME ON. FREQUENT SLAMMING IF DOOR TO TRIGGER SENSOR DOES NOT WORK. UNABLE TO TURN LIGHTS OFF. PROHIBITS DOORS FROM LOCKING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

VEHICLE DISPLAYS DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO TO CLOSE THE DOOR, IT WONT TURN OFF. IT DOESN'T ALLOW THE DOORS TO BE LOCKED WHEN DRIVING AND THE ALARM TO GO OFF CONSTANTLY. THIS IN EFFECT CAUSES YOU TO GET A COSTUMED TO YOUR ALARM GOING OFF AND NOT REALLY KNOWING WHEN IT IS LEGITIMATE. ALSO IF ANOTHER DOOR IS AJAR YOU CAN GET SO USED TO SEEING THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" LIGHT THAT IT CAN BE CONFUSED FOR ANY OTHER DOOR. INCLUDING A REAR DOOR WITH CHILDREN PASSENGERS. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

THE CAR IS SPORADICALLY NOT DETECTING THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR BEING CLOSED. THIS ENGAGES THE "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR WHICH IS LINKED WITH THE LATCHING MECHANISM WHICH IS LINKED TO THE LOCKING FEATURES. THIS HAPPENS DAILY AND THE DOOR NEEDS TO BE FREQUENTLY OPENED AND CLOSED TO ATTEMPT TO GET THE SENSOR TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED (WHICH IT IS). PERIODICALLY, THE INDICATOR WILL NOT CLEAR WHICH MAKES THE VEHICLE UNLOCKABLE WHILE DRIVING AS IT HAS THE AUTOMATIC LOCK FEATURE AT 10-12 MPH. EVEN WHEN MANUALLY LOCKING THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING WITH THIS "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR ACTIVATED, THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK THEMSELVES BECAUSE IT BELIEVES THE DOOR IS OPEN. WHEN PARKED AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU CAN ONLY MANUALLY (FINGERS OR KEY FOB) LOCK THE VEHICLE BUT THE FACTORY ALARM SYSTEM WILL NOT ACTIVATE AS IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND NEEDS...
