2011 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

DRIVER DOOR-OPEN SENSOR DOES NOT SHOW THE DOOR CLOSED WHEN IT IS LATCHED PROPERLY. LOCKS WILL NOT ENGAGE SO VEHICLE IS NOT SECURED WHEN DRIVING. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A PERIOD MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT UNTIL THE LIGHT GOES OFF IN ABOUT 20 SECONDS. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DOORS ARE CLOSED. DOORS WONT LOCK WHILE DRIVING. HAZARD WHEN CHILDREN ARE IN THE VEHICLE. SLAMMING DOOR 10 TIMES WONT HELP. HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK DOOR WHEN EXITING CAR. ALARM WONT WORK IF DOOR WONT LOCK. *TR

DOOR SENSOR REPLACED ONCE BECAUSE OF BAD SENSOR. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO IT STATED DOING IT AGAIN. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND THE DOORS WONT LOOK. CAN CLOSE THE DOOR 3 TO 6 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL GO OFF. CAN BE DRIVING AND THE SENSOR WILL COME ON AND THE DOORS UNLOCK. GREAT FOR SAFETY, I HAVE 2 FORD EDGES BOTH 2011 & BOTH CARS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. *TR

THE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DOORS ARE UNABLE TO LOCK. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE DOORS WILL LOCK, BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL COME BACK ON AND THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK AGAIN. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF FOR DRIVER DOOR. DOOR IS CLOSED. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN MOVING. I HAVE KIDS THAT COULD OPEN THE DOOR WHILE MOVING (AND YES I COULD USE THE CHILD LOCKS, BUT I DO NOT IN CASE OF A WRECK). THIS ALSO LEAVES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON FOR 10 OR SO MINUTES AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, WHICH WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE ISSUE WITH FORD DOOR LATCHES FOR MANY YEARS NOW AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

AFTER CLOSING THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THE IN DASH COMPUTER SAYS THE DOOR IS STILL AJAR AND THE DOME LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. *TR

THE DOOR LATCH SWITCH IS FAULTY AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. APPARENTLY FORD REFUSES TO RECALL THE PRODUCT. I BELIEVE THIS COULD LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THE DOOR IS REALLY AJAR AND THE DOOR COULD OPEN, DRAIN THE BATTERY AND WHEN THE DOOR SWITCH IS MALFUNCTIONING, IT STATES THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. *TR

DOOR AJAR STAYS ON AFTER DOOR CLOSED. *TR

FIRST DOOR AJAR WARNING WOULD COME ON,WHEN YOU CLOSED DOOR IT WOULD GO AWAY.NOW IT JUST STAY ON, THE LIGHTS SAY ON AND THE BELLS CHIMES. I SEE THEIRS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE HELP!!! THIS IS NOT IN MY BUDGET!! THANKS *JS

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR WOULD SHOW DOOR AJAR INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES FROM THE TIME I START MY VEHICLE. WHEN THE DOOR AJAR WOULD COME ON IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY OPEN THE LOCKS ON ALL THE DOORS. THIS SCARED ME B/C I HAVE 2 KIDS IN THE BACK AND DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH UNLOCKED DOORS IS NOT VERY SAFE AT ALL AS THEY CAN OPEN THE DOOR ANYTIME BY MISTAKE. AFTER 3 MONTHS OF THIS PROBLEM THE PROBLEM WENT FROM INTERMITTENT TO PERMANENT. NOW MY DOOR WILL SHOW DOOR AJAR PERMANENTLY. WHEN I AM DRIVING I CANNOT LOCK THE DOORS. ALSO MANY TIMES WHILE PARKED IN MY GARAGE THE ALARM STARTED GOING B/C THE SENSOR DID SOMETHING WEIRD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHILE PARKED AT MY WORK AND AT HOME. I AM AT A LOST WHY FORD HAS NOT RECALLED THIS PART AS I SEE MANY...

DURING DRIVING, THE ENGINE STOPPED AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THERE WAS NO WARNING, AND THE "YELLOW WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON, AND CAR WOULD NOT GO. THIS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND COULD NOT GET OFF OF THE ROAD. IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY, THERE WAS NO TIME TO REACT TO TRY TO PULL OVER. LOST STEERING AND COULDN'T MOVE ANYWHERE. WAITED FOR 1 MIN OR SO, AND RESTARTED CAR. *TR

APRIL 3- FIFTEEN MINS FROM HOME (RETURNING FROM A VACATION TO GATLINBURG, TN), "BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH" OCCURRED. TOOK IMMEDIATELY TO DEALERSHIP. WAITED 40 MINS WHILE DIAGNOSTIC RUN AND TOLD TO BRING BACK MONDAY, APRIL 7, AS APIM WAS DISCOVERED TO BE BAD. WOULD BE REPLACED MONDAY. APRIL 7- RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP FOR APIM TO BE REPLACED AND TOLD RADIO WAS GOING TO BE CHECKED; NOT APIM REPLACED. ARGUED WITH STAFF THERE, AS SERVICE MANAGER HAD ALREADY RUN DIAGNOSTIC TO DETERMINE APIM NEEDED. HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER THREE DAYS FOR APIM TO COME IN TO DEALERSHIP. RETURNED APRIL 10 FOR APIM REPLACEMENT. MAY 3- LEAVING FOR A 12 HOUR ROUND TRIP TO ATHENS, GA TO BRING SON HOME FROM COLLEGE..."BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH" OCCURRED 6X BEFORE GETTING AN HOUR FROM HOME. OCCURRED 4-5X MORE ON WAY BACK FROM ATHENS, GA. THIS HAPPENED ON A SATURDAY SO HAD TO CALL DEALERSHIP...

WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED, THE DOOR AJAR LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE. *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED. OVERHEAD DOME LIGHT REMAINS ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. SAFETY HAZARD WITH INABILITY TO HAVE DOORS LOCKED WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE CAR BATTERY (RECENTLY REPLACED) WITH OVERHEAD DOME LIGHTS REMAINING ILLUMINATED FOR 3 MINUTES AFTER CAR IS IN MOTION AND 10 MINUTES AFTER WHILE CAR IS TURNED OFF. WHILE THE ISSUE OF THE DOOR AJAR ALARM CONTINUES TO BE ON AND DOOR LATCH IS DEFECTIVE THE CAR ALARM RANDOMLY GOES OFF WITHOUT DOOR MANIPULATION. CAR ALARM HAS GONE OFF UP TO 3 TIMES IN A DAY AND OCCURS 4-5 DAYS PER WEEK CAUSING DISRUPTION IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN POSTED ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE OF A DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH THAT WARRANTS A RECALL ON FORD'S BEHALF DUE TO POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERNS. CHILDREN COULD OPEN THE...

ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR ONLY, THE DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION REMAINS ON EVEN AFTER THE DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT. THE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WITH THAT NOTIFICATION ON AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT WANT TO GO OUT EITHER. ALSO, WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND THE DOORS ARE LOCKED, THIS, WHAT SEEMS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE, CAUSES THE AUXILIARY LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF AND IT CAUSES THE BATTERY TO DIE OVER TIME. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2012. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT FOR DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR DOES NOT GO OFF WHEN DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED. MUST CLOSE DOOR 3 TO 7 TIMES FOR IT TO GO OFF. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON INTERNET. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM IS DEFECTIVE. AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR THE SENSOR WHICH DETECTS THE DOOR BEING SHUT IS NOT ACTIVATED PROPERLY. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATES THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. MOST SERIOUSLY HOWEVER IS THAT WHILE THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING, THE VEHICLE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED. NONE OF THEM. A CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT COULD EASILY OPEN THE DOORS WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. EVEN IF THE DRIVER PUSHES THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON TO ENGAGE ALL 4 DOOR LOCKS, THEY POP RIGHT BACK OPEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS. THE REMOTE WILL ALSO NOT ACTIVATE THE SECURITY SYSTEM WHEN YOU ARE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE HORN CHIRPS TWICE INDICATING THAT THE DOORS ARE AJAR. *JS

ALL FOUR DOOR AJAR INDICATORS ARE STUCK. INSIDE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OUT UNTIL VEHICLE REACHES APPROX 15 MPH WHICH BLINDS THE DRIVER WHEN PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAYS, ETC. *JS

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH DISPLAY WHILE THE DRIVER DOOR WAS FULLY/PROPERLY CLOSED AND ALL FOURS LOCKED. THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" LIGHT REMAINED ON FOR A DISTANCE BEFORE THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS TURNED ON, AND THE DRIVER DOOR POPPED PARTIALLY OPEN ON ITS OWN WHICH RESULTED IN ALL DOORS TO UNLOCK POSING A SAFETY RISK TO THE CHILD PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE DRIVER. THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON, WHICH IN TURN KEEPS THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ON AND PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING AND THE ALARM FROM ARMING. THIS ISSUE IS PRESENT AT ALL TIMES, WHILE OPERATING/DRIVING AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF/PARKED WHICH IN TURN CAUSES ADDED STRAIN ON THE BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER/SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES AND...

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR CEASES TO FUNCTION AND INDICATE WHETHER THE DOOR IS OPEN OR CLOSED, LEAVING IT IN THE "AJAR" STATE. BY HAVING IT IN THIS STATE, THE VEHICLES LOCKS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO THE BATTERY DRAINS WHILE THE CAR IS NOT IN USE. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATES DRIVER'S DOOR NOT CLOSED. DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON. SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE 2011 FORD EDGE. *TR

THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR EVEN THOUGH ALL FOUR DOORS ARE LOCKED CORRECTLY. IF YOU CANNOT MAKE THE MESSAGE GO AWAY BY REOPENING AND SHUTTING THE DOOR, THEN THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE DOME LIGHTS WILL REMAIN ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE BIGGEST DANGER IS THAT THE LATCH CAN MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE DOORS LOCKS TO UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. THIS IS CONCERNING GIVEN THAT MY SON RIDES IN THE BACK SEAT. *TR

THE DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON AND YOU WILL HAVE TO OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT GOES OUT AND SOMETIMES THAT DOESN'T WORK. MY FIRST INCIDENT WAS WHEN MY CAR WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD (EARLY 2012) AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE REPLACED. THEN IN MARCH OF 2014, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. SO WHEN I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD CLEAN IT AND GO FROM THERE. JUST 2 SHORT WEEKS LATER IT STARTED HAPPENING ONCE AGAIN SO THIS TIME I HAVE RETURNED THE CAR AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME A $100 DEDUCTIBLE TO DO THE WORK. I ASKED WHY BECAUSE I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HE EXPLAINED THAT CERTAIN ITEMS ARE COVERED BUT WITH A DEDUCTIBLE FEE. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED...

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AND INTERIOR DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS NOT SAFE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL. I'VE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED A RESPONSE. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN UNDER 9 AND THE DOORS NOT LOCKING AUTOMATICALLY IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK AND IT HAS BEEN A KNOW ISSUE FOR OVER 4 YEARS AND FORD HAS EVEN ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE PROBLEM.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AND INTERIOR DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS NOT SAFE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TT

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING OFF AND ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT. SOMETIMES 5-10 CLOSINGS WILL SHUT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT OFF. MOST OF THE TIME MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. WHICH KEEPS MY INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AT NIGHTTIME. ALSO NOT SURE MY CAR LOCKS COMPLETELY AS THE CAR HONKS TWICE QUICKLY WHEN I TRY TO LOCK USING THE WIRELESS LOCKING DEVICE. VERY FRUSTRATING, AND FOR THE MONEY THEY CHARGE FOR FORD CARS, DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD BE A PROBLEM. HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CAN COST UP TO $300 AT DEALERSHIPS TO FIX, AND CHEAPEST I HAVE FOUND IS $85.00 TO BUY PART FROM FORD AND TRY TO FIX IT MYSELF. *JS

DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR SENSOR WAS INTERMITTENT THEN WENT COMPLETELY OUT. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON DRAINING BATTERY WHEN PARKED. SAFETY CONCERN WITH DOOR FALSE ALERT MASKING ACTUAL DOOR NOT SHUT CONDITION. ADDITIONAL SAFETY CONCERN WITH NIGHT DRIVING AND FORCED INTERIOR LIGHT REDUCING VISIBILITY AND RISK TO PEDESTRIANS. FORD SERVICE WILL ONLY LUBRICATE SENSOR AT CUSTOMERS EXPENSE TO SATISFY TSB-14-0011 CAUSING NO CONFIDENCE IN REPAIR AND POSSIBLE RE-OCCURRENCE OF SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF THE FAULTY SENSING UNIT AND/OR DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY. *JS

HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR SENSOR. DOOR SENSOR STILL SHOWS THE DOOR TO BE AJAR EVEN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE. SENSOR PICKS UP THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED ABOUT 1/3RD TO 1/2 THE TIME YOU ATTEMPT TO CLOSE. SENSOR NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WILL ALLOW A WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASHBOARD TO STAY ON UNTIL RECOGNIZED. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS IT KEEPS THE DOME LIGHT ILLUMINATED UNTIL YOU CONTINUE TO CLOSE AND THE SENSOR PICKS UP. I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE SENSOR COMING ON AND SHOWING AJAR WHILE DRIVING. WITH THE DOME LIGHT COMING ON, I'M NOT TO HAPPY ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. FOUND THROUGH CHAT ROOMS AND FORUMS THAT SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE, WITH NO FIX FROM FORD. FORD DEALER SERVICE REPS HAVE KNOWN IT IS A PROBLEM, BUT JUST SAY TO CALL FORD TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM...

DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. CAR THINKS DRIVERS DOOR IS OPEN, WHICH MAKES IT UNABLE TO LOCK AND LIGHTS STAY ON IN VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY ONCE DUE TO THIS. *TR

DOOR AJAR INDICATOR STAYS ON FOR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHICH WILL NOT LOCK. DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED WHILE DRIVING, INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON BECAUSE OF DOOR AJAR INDICATOR WHICH IN TURN DRAINS BATTERY. UNSAFE FOR DOORS NOT BEING ABLE TO BE LOCKED AND LIGHTS CONTINUE TO ILLUMINATE WHILE VEHICLE IS OFF AND PARKED. *TR

THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING REMAINS LIT EVEN WHEN MY DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED. I EITHER HAVE TO SLAM MY DOOR CLOSED OR OPEN/CLOSE MY DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF. THIS WEEK, THE LIGHT HAS STARTED COMING ON WHILE MY CAR IS IN MOTION, WHICH FREAKS ME OUT. DUE TO THE LIGHT COMING BACK ON EVEN AFTER IT INITIALLY GOES OFF, MY DOME LIGHT IS STAYING ON AND RUNNING MY CAR BATTERY DOWN. I NEEDED A JUMP START THIS WEEK DUE TO MY BATTERY BEING DEAD. THANK YOU. *TR

PROBLEM: DOOR AJAR SENSOR MY FORD EDGE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I ATTEMPT TO SHUT THE DOOR. WITH THIS LIGHT ON THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT TURN OFF FOR A PERIOD OF 10-15 MINUTES. MY DAUGHTER AND I DRIVE IN MY EDGE EVERYDAY, WITH THE DOORS NOT LOCKING I FIND THAT THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS HAZARD. TODAY WE WERE DRIVING THRU THE MALL PARKING LOT AND A STRANGER APPROACHED MY EDGE AS IF HE WERE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR. AT THE TIME THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WAS ON AND ALL DOORS WERE UNLOCKED, AS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO LOCK THE DOORS WITH THIS LIGHT ON. LORD FORBID HE WOULD HAVE OPENED THAT PASSENGER DOOR AND HARMED MY DAUGHTER. DOES IT TAKE A TRAGEDY TO...

THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR SENSOR DOES NOT WORK. THE DOOR IS CLOSED BUT IT STILL SHOWS ON THE DASH DOOR AJAR. THIS DOES NOT LET THE DOORS LOCK WHILE DRIVING. I FEEL THAT THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING ALSO UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO DRIVE IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE CITY. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS WILL WORK. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DOOR SENSORS. I CLOSED THE DOOR AND THE DOOR AJAR ALARM COMES UP. I HAVE TO SLANG THE DOOR REALLY HARD AND A FEW TIMES UNTIL THE SENSORS PICKS IT UP. WHEN DRIVING I CAN NOT LOCKED THE DOORS BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOORS ARE AJAR. I LOOKED IT ONLINE AND MANY FORD EDGE'S OWNERS HAD THE SAME ISSUES, THEY SHOULD CALL FOR A RECALL SINCE THIS IS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. DOOR MUST BE CLOSED REPEATEDLY TO GET THE AJAR LIGHT TO GO OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BOTH TIMES. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

THE DRIVERS DOOR INDICATION IS THAT IT IS "AJAR". THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED, BUT ELECTRICALLY THE SWITCH INDICATES THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR CAUSING THE DOORS TO REMAIN UNLOCKED NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON AT LOW SPEEDS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. AND DUE TO THE DOORS BEING UNLOCKED, THE REAR DOORS CAN BE OPENED BY CHILDREN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE DOORS ARE NOT LOCKED MAKING IT EASY FOR SOMEONE TO APPROACH AND OPEN YOUR DOORS. THIS SITUATION IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING. MY VEHICLE WAS FIXED ONCE AT 42K MILES AND IS NOW IN NEED OF REPAIR AGAIN. IN ADDITION TO THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE IT IS ALSO NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND IS OVER $300 PER REPAIR. *TR

DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY- DOOR AJAR WONT GO AWAY, DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

"DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, BUT DOOR IS SECURELY/PROPERLY CLOSED. THIS IS NOT ONLY A DYSFUNCTIONAL NUISANCE, IT'S A HAZARD AT NIGHT. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL FADE OFF WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING FORWARD, THAT'S EASY ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH......BUT IF YOU ARE BACKING UP THEY STAY ON! YOU CAN'T SEE OTHER OBJECTS/CARS/LIGHTS. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO STAY LIT IF YOU ARE SITTING IN THE PARKED VEHICLE. YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION EITHER BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE THIS "DOOR AJAR" PROBLEM THE WARNING BELL "DINGS" UNTIL YOU EITHER START THE CAR, OR PULL YOUR KEY OUT. FORGET ENJOYING LISTENING TO THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM, OR PROGRAMMING DESTINATIONS INTO THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM. JUST START GETTING USED TO THAT WELL LIT, DING, DING, DING! *TR

I PARKED THE CAR AND CLOSED ALL DOORS AND USED THE REMOTE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN I RECEIVED THE TWO BEEPS TO INDICATE A DOOR WAS OPEN. ADDITIONALLY THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO OFF. I CHECKED ALL DOORS WHICH WAS CLOSED ONLY TO SEE IN THE DASH THE DOOR AJAR SIGN. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT NOW WILL NOT OFF OFF NOR WILL MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WHICH IS DRAINING MY BATTERY. DUE TO THIS THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHICH LEAVE MY VEHICLE VULNERABLE TO THEFT AND WHILE DRIVING MY CHILD SUSCEPTIBLE TO DANGER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD EDGE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AT NIGHT MY VEHICLE ALARM SOUNDED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON, & THE COMPUTER SHOWED THAT MY DRIVER'S DOOR WAS AGAR. THIS WAS VERY UNNERVING & MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AS IT WAS DARK OUT & MY INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ON AND OFF WHILE IN MOTION OR WHEN IDLING. IT HAS NOW BECOME AN ALMOST CONSTANT PROBLEM. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE & THEY ADVISED IT IS GOING TO COST OVER $700 TO FIX. I THOUGHT I COULD LIVE WITH THE ISSUE BUT DURING THE RECENT SNOW STORM I FOUND OUT THAT BECAUSE MY CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS AGAR, MY AWD IS NOT WORKING. THIS IS INSANE; EITHER I PAY A TON OF MONEY OR POSSIBLY GET IN AN ACCIDENT! I HAVE...

I WAS JUST DRIVING ALONG, AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE 2011 FORD EDGE JUST STALLED COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT MOVE, SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE WHOLE CARE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE DISPLAY SHOWED A WRENCH AND SAID TO CHECK OWNERS MANUAL, WHICH ACCORDING TO FORDS OWNERS MANUAL MEANS POWER TRAIN PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT AND IT ACTED LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED, GOT TO WORK AND PARKED. LATER THAT DAY DROVE IT ABOUT A MILE WITH NO INCIDENT. LEFT WORK AND JUST PULLED OUT OF THE LOT SAME THING HAPPENED, STALLED AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF. IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM, WENT TO PULL BACK IN THE LOT AND IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MATHEW CURRIES FORD IN NOKOMIS, FL....

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON, DOOR HAS TO BE REPEATEDLY OPENED AND CLOSED NUMEROUS TIMES IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING CONSTANTLY ON. REQUIRES YOU TO SLAM THE DOOR SOMETIMES UP TO TEN OR MORE TIMES BEFORE THE CAR WILL FINALLY RECOGNIZE THE DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL REMAIN ON WHICH I AM AFRAID WILL LEAD TO A DEAD BATTERY. *TR

1.THE WINDOW MOTOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR AND HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE UNDER WARRANTY BUT SAME ISSUE CONTINUES. WHEN YOU CLOSE THE DRIVER WINDOW IT AUTOMATICALLY COMES RIGHT BACK DOWN, AND TAKES MANY ATTEMPTS TO MANIPULATE THE WINDOW TO ACTUALLY CLOSE. 2.MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON WHILE DOOR WAS CLOSED. IT LEAVES THE INTERIOR LIGHT ON BECAUSE OF FALSE READ INDICATOR. THAT STARTED A NUMBER OF ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS, INCLUDING DOOR LOCKING ISSUES. WHILE DRIVING WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD GRANDCHILD, SHE OPENED THE DOOR BY HERSELF DURING TRAVEL BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK DURING TRAVEL.(SHE WAS IN A CERTIFIED CAR SEAT, NEVERTHELESS IT WAS TERRIFYING AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE). I HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR THIS "LATCH MALFUNCTION" IN SEPTEMBER 2013. THE PART WAS ON BACK-ORDER FOR 6 WEEKS. (THIS IS SUSPICIOUS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY EDGE OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE)....

DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR FAILED - CAR WON'T SENSE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED WHEN IT IS. *TR

WHEN CLOSING DRIVER DOOR - DOOR "OPEN" WARNING SHOWS ON DASH, SOMETIMES IT WOULD GO OUT BY REOPENING AND CLOSING DOOR, BUT NOW CONSTANT. TAKING IT TO THE DEALER. FROM INFO ON THE FORD EDGE FORUM STATES THIS HAPPENS IN THE "LIMITED" MODEL , THIS APPEARS TO BE A BADLY DESIGNED DOOR LATCH. CLEANING WITH ELECTRICAL SPRAY MAY FIX IT FOR AWHILE BUT IT WILL RE-OCCUR EVENTUALLY. *TR

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND THE HATCH DOOR ADJAR LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED DINGING. I STOPPED TURNED OFF THE CAR AND OPENED AND CLOSED THE HATCH BACK DOOR. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME 30 MILES LISTENING TO THIS CONSTANT DINGING. WHEN I STOPPED THE INTERIOR LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THEY WOULD GO OUT WHEN I TOOK OFF AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER WHEN I GOT HOME, BECAUSE I JUST PAID $794.00 IN JUNE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM FIXED ONLY IT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR ADJAR AND LOCKS. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD NEED TO BRING IT IN FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTICS THEN PAY FOR LABOR AND PARTS. THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH THE ELETRICAL SYSTEM AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR A DEFAULT ON FORDS PART. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BRING MY CAR...

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 35 MPH THE EDGE WENT INTO A BASIC "LIMP" MODE, PREVENTING ANY ACCELERATION. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT IT DOWN, IT FLASHED A YELLOW WRENCH AND SAID AWD OFF, I RESTARTED IT AND THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AROUND 55 MPH, SHUT IT DOWN AGAIN AND RESTARTED IT. THE VERY NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WHEN WILL SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT THIS? AFTER SOMEONE GETS KILLED? TRUCK WILL BE SITTING IN MY GARAGE AND I GUESS WE WILL SHARE OUR OTHER CAR, NO WAY IN HELL AM I LETTING MY WIFE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, IT WILL END UP BEING A "DEATH TRAP"

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN I SLAM THE DRIVERS DOOR AGAIN. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT CORROSION GETS INSIDE THE DOOR LOCK SO HE SPRAYED IT. JUST 2 DAYS LATER THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD. *JB
