2011 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

MY PROBLEM IS WITH A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. THE DOME LIGHTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO OUT AND IS HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY AND NOW I AM AFRAID MY NEW BATTERY WILL RUN DOWN AND LEAVE ME STRANDED AWAY FROM HOME. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS STATING DOOR AJAR AT ALL TIMES

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ON DASH AFTER CLOSING DOORS REPEATEDLY. DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DRAIN BATTERY LFE.

"DOOR AJAR" LIGHT REMAINS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THIS CAUSES CAR DOORS TO STAY UNLOCKED, DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON, DRAINING MY BATTERY, UNABLE TO USE THE AUTO CAR START. DANGEROUS FOR MY SMALL CHILDREN WHO CAN NOW OPEN THE DOOR WHILE I AM DRIVING

DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED INTERIOR LIGHT STAY ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED INABILITY TO LOCK DOORS FAULTY LATCH

DRIVER DOOR CLOSE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. DOOR SENSOR HAS DOOR OPEN WARNING LIGHT WHEN DOOR CLOSED. DOOR SENSOR CAN FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND UNLOCK DOORS. OPEN DOOR SENSOR KEEPS INTERIOR LOP IGNITE ON AND DRAINS BATTERY. DOOR SENSOR KEEPS INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AND/OR TURNS LIGHTS ON WHEN IN MOTION.

THE 2 FRONT DOOR SWITCHES WORK SOMETIMES. WHEN PARKED THE CAR THINKS THE DOORS ARE OPEN AND KEEPS THE LIGHTS ON. SOMETIMES FOR NO REASON THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TURN ON AND IT DRAINS THE BATTERY. PLUS WHEN THE SWITCHES ARE NOT WORKING THE CAR DOES NOT THINK THAT IT IS LOCKED AND WILL BEEP TWICE WHEN LOCKING THE CAR. WHEN THE SWITCHES HAVE FAILED THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WILL JUST COME ON WHEN IN A STORE AND THE BATTERY WILL DRAIN DOWN TO WHERE THE CAR WILL NOT START.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ON BUT DOOR ISN'T NOT AJAR. THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON DUE TO THE WARNING AND MAKES IT HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. IN ADDITION, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING FAILED TO SHUT OFF AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

PASSENGER DOOR AJAR WARNING BEGAN TO COME ON IN OCTOBER 2015, EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS SHUT. THIS HAS RESULTED IN THE DOME LIGHTS STAYING ON WHEN I BEGIN TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT, AS IT HAS A VERY NEGATIVE IMPACT ON MY VISION UNTIL THE DOME LIGHTS GO OFF. WHEN I PARK THE CAR, SHUT IT OFF, AND CLOSE ALL DOORS, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A DRAINING OF MY BATTERY. I HAVE HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY ON MANY OCCASIONS (6 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK). THIS ISSUE IS FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ME HAVING TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY YESTERDAY, WHICH COST NEARLY $200 INSTALLED. THE BATTERY DRAINING BECAUSE OF THIS MATTER COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE DEPENDING ON WHERE I WAS AND WHO WAS AROUND WHEN I NEEDED A JUMP. FINALLY,...

DOOR AJAR SENSOR FAILED CAUSING BATTERY TO DIE. HAD TO BUY NEW BATTERY AND PAY $500+ TO REPLACE DOOR AJAR SENSOR. THE FED OPENED AN INVESTIGATION ON OCTOBER 3, 2016 TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS WIDESPREAD ISSUE.

THE SENSOR IN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WARNS ME THAT MY DOOR IS "AJAR" WHEN ALL DOORS ARE SHUT. WHEN THIS WARNING IS ON, I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK ANY DOORS IN MY VEHICLE (NEITHER IN MOTION NOR PARKED) AND I OFTEN TRAVEL WITH TODDLERS. THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ALSO ILLUMINATED SO IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT.

COMING TO A STOP, PUTTING VEHICLE IN PARK, WARNING TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK EVEN THOUGH ITS ALREADY IN PARK. IT ALSO HAS THE DOOR AJAR PROBLEM I TEMPORARILY FIX WITH SPRAY LUBE

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT IS ON, EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT WORK, DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT SINCE REDUCES NIGHT VISION AS WELL AS ALLOWS THE DOORS TO BE OPENED BY ANYONE. *TR

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INSTRUMENT PANEL EVEN AFTER DOOR IS SHUT FIRMLY. MUST OPEN AND SHUT DOOR SEVERAL TIMES TO CLEAR THIS WARNING. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY ON 12/20/2012. PROBLEM HAS RETURNED THIS PAST WEEK OF SINCE 10/19/2016. ORIGINAL OWNER OF VEHICLE.

THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR SENSOR IS BAD, WHICH KEEPS THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON AT ALL TIMES, AND KEEPS THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS ON FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY AND IS ALSO DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. HAD THE DEALER "FIX" THE ISSUE BY DOING A CLEANING/CYCLING ON THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE LATCH, BUT IT ONLY LASTED A FEW MONTHS AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK. FORD DOES NOT SEEM WILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AS A SAFETY CONCERN - UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH OVERHEAD LIGHTS ON, AND IT DRAINS THE BATTERY, WHICH HAS CAUSED OTHER ISSUES FOR ME, INCLUDING HAVING TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WELL AHEAD OF ITS INTENDED USEFUL LIFE. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR INDICATOR CAME ON AND AT FIRST IT WOULD TAKE ME A FEW TIMES SHUTTING THE DOOR FOR IT COME OFF. NOW ITS TO THE POINT WHERE IT DOES NOT TURN OFF AND KEEPS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON UNTIL I DRIVE FORWARD A BIT, THEN TURN OFF. THAT'S NOT GOOD AT NIGHT FOR SURE. NOW WHEN MY CAR IS LOCKED THE PANIC ALARM GOES OFF ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY (THANK GOODNESS) ONE NIGHT AND THE LIGHTS TURNED ON AND THE CAR STARTED DINGING FOR THE DOOR. WHY IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT RECALLED??? IT IS DANGEROUS FOR THE LIGHT TO STAY ON AT NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY IF MY DOOR REALLY ISN'T LATCHED. I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY SOMETHING OUT OF POCKET THAT I DIDN'T BREAK OR HAVE CONTROL OVER BREAKING. PLEASE HELP FIX...

I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT BACK IN 2014 CONCERNING THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SWITCH. THIS WEEK I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND WAS ELATED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE RECALL WAS MY FORD FOCUS AND FORD FUSION NOT THE FORD EDGE! THE FOCUS AND FUSION ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME SWITCH THAT THE DEALER CHARGED ME $389.24 TO FIX IN MY FORD EDGE.

DOOR AJAR WARNING MESSAGE ON WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON 10 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING OFF WHEN PARKED. INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AND ALARM HORN WILL SOUND INTERMITTENTLY WHEN PARKED. I PULLED THE FUSE FOR THE HORN RELAY, DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL SOUND. I FEEL IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT A HORN. WHILE DRIVING DOORS DO NOT LOCK IN FACT THEY UNLOCK AFTER LOCKING THEM WITH LOCK SWITCH. *TR

THE DOME LIGHT COMES ON WHILE VEHICLE IS ON MOVEMENT AND CREATES A NIGHT DRIVING HAZARD. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE FALSE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM RECOGNIZING A REAL DOOR AJAR SITUATION.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED...THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DOES NOT TURN OFF UNTIL VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE AND HAS MOVED MORE THAN ABOUT 250 FEET. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT TIME ESPECIALLY WHEN A LIT DOME LIGHT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WEEKEND THE BATTERY DIED AS A DIRECT CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE! FORD JUST ISSUED A RECALL FOR 1.5 MILLION DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AND THIS YEAR NEEDS TO BE ADDED ASAP. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING OUT OF POCKET THAT THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR...PLEASE HELP!

2011 FORD EDGE LOST ALL POWER FROM THE THROTTLE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, HAD A YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT, NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AND ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE. SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND RESTARTED EVERYTHING WAS RUNNING FINE. DROVE THE EDGE ABOUT 10 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE TO MY EXIT, AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND READY TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE HIGHWAY I HIT THE GAS AND GOT OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION AND THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND LOST ALL POWER LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC COMING BOTH WAYS. AFTER TRAFFIC STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY MOVE TO THE SHOULDER I SHUT THE CAR DOWN AGAIN AND CALLED A FRIEND TO COME HELP ME. AFTER SITTING FOR 10-20 MINUTES, MY FRIEND SHOWED UP AND THE EDGE RESTARTS AND WAS ABLE...

DOOR AJAR ALERT STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED WHICH KEEPS YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO LOCK YOUR DOORS WHILE IN THE VEHICLE. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON, WHICH ILLUMINATES YOU AND THE COCKPIT. WITH ALERT IN THE ON POSITION, YOU ARE NOT ALERTED TO OTHER DOORS WHICH MAY BE AJAR. FAULTY LATCH.

INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON AFTER DOOR CLOSED, DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON ON DASH. DOOR LOCKS WANT LOCK OR UNLOCK AT TIMES.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. SOMETIMES TURNS OFF. ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY BECAUSE OF THIS, DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHILE CAR IS MOVING, DOME LIGHTS STAY ON

I AM UNABLE TO LOCK MY DOORS, WHEN I PRESS THE DOOR LOCK, IT AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKS THEM, (THIS WILL OCCUR WHILE SATIONARY OR MOVING) DOME AND OUTDOOR MIRROR LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE OR OFFICE LOT. DASH INDICATOR DOOR AJAR IS CONSTANT. LEFT VEHICLE AT AIRPORT PARKING LOT DURING A 10 DAY VACATION TO RETURN TO A DEAD BATTERY, ON SITE SECURITY / VEHICLE ASSISTANCE TEAM SAYS THEY SAW DOME LIGHT ON DURING ROUTINE SECURITY ROUNDS...MY WIFE WILL NOT RIDE IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO OBVIOUS SECURITY RISK. THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING, WHEN I ASK THE DEALER TO ADDRESS THIS I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $400 DOLLARS !!! WE OPTED TO BUY AMERICAN DURING OUR COUNTRIES ECONOMIC TROUBLES, WE HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION AND A 2011 FORD EDGE. THIS HAS BEEN A DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND FAILED TO TURN OFF. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000. UPDATED 01/06/2017*CT *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR STAYED ON....INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON....DOORS WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED....HIGH BEAMS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. COULD NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT. ALL SAFETY CONCERNS. I JUST PAID FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR NEW SWITCH ASSEMBLY AND DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY AND LABOR. TOTAL COST WAS 833.19 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN I MENTIONED TO THE DEALER THAT I HAD SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THEY DIDN'T CARE AT ALL. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY TO REPAIR.

BACK UP CAMERA NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL

DRIVER'S DOOR ALWAYS INDICATES IT IS AJAR, EVEN WHEN CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS INTERIOR LIGHTS FROM GOING OUT UNTIL VEHICLE REACHES SPEED. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF. I WAS FORCED TO BACK INTO THE ROAD BLIND ONE NIGHT - WITH A TRAILER - BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE OUT OF THE CAR. IT ALSO WILL NOT LET YOU LOCK THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING AND DRAINS THE BATTERY WHEN YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I HAD THIS REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE AT A FORD DEALERSHIP BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNED 4 MONTHS LATER.

DOOR AJAR LIGHTS STAYING ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED! THEY GO ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS, ALARM WILL NOT SET, INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND RUN BATTERY DOWN CONSTANTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE PARKING AND CABIN LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED INDEFINITELY. AS A RESULT, THE BATTERY DIED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

VEHICLE LEFT REAR DOOR INDICATOR WAS 'DOOR AJAR" . DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOR LOCK DOOR AND DOME LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OUT - THIS DEPLETED THE BATTERY. LEFT REAR DOOR LATCH REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE. BATTERY WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND BATTERY WAS REPLACED UNDER BATTERY WARRANTY. ALL WORK DONE AT FORD DEALER.

THE DOOR AJAR ERROR APPEARS ON THE DASH, EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THE ALARM CANNOT BE PROPERLY ACTIVATED BECAUSE OF THIS. THE DOOR WAS NOT HIT IN AN ACCIDENT, IT JUST DEVELOPED ONE DAY INTERMITTENTLY AND IS NOW CONSTANT. I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE DOOR LATCH TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING A DOOR AJAR ISSUE WITH MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR EVEN THOUGH MY DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON RUNNING MY BATTERY DOWN. DO THEY HAVE A RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE AS I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING A FAULTY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT ALREADY HAS FUEL PROBLEMS .

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON, ACTS AS IF DRIVERS DOOR ISN'T CLOSED. ALSO PREVENTS US FROM LOCKING VEHICLE UP WHEN WE LEAVE IT. STARTED WITH ONLY DRIVER DOOR. NOW IS REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ALSO. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF FAMILY AND OUR VALUABLES WITH THIS ISSUE THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING.

DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR IS BAD. VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED AND WILL NOT LOCK OR AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF INTERIOR LIGHTS. AT NIGHT, I HAVE TO BACK OUT OF A LONG DRIVEWAY ONLY BEING ABLE TO USE THE BACKUP CAMERA. ONCE IN FORWARD MOTION, THE LIGHT WILL EVENTUALLY TURN OFF BUT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. WHAT IS TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM WALKING UP TO AND OPENING MY CAR DOOR WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT?? ON ONE OCCASION, THE DOOR AJAR ICON DID NOT COME ON WHEN STARTING THE CAR BUT CAME ON ABOUT 8 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO, WHEN YOU PARK THE CAR AND LOCK IT, IT STILL DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOOR IS SHUT AND DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AGAIN. THE FORD DEALERSHIP WANTS AROUND $600.00 TO FIX THIS ISSUE, I PAID THEM $65.00 TO "CLEAN THE...

I HAVE A 2011 FORD EDGE, THE DOOR AJAR SYMBOL REMAINS ON, THIS ALLOWS THE COURTESY LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON AND DRAIN THE BATTERY, I HAVE RAN ELECTRICAL CONTACT CLEANER THROUGH ONE OF THE BOLT HOLES AND SPRAYED WD40, IT WORKED FOR A LITTLE AWHILE, BUT NOW THE LIGHTS STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES, AND DRAINS THE BATTERY. THIS LEAVES MY WIFE AND CHILD STRANDED AT TIMES, WHILE AAA ARRIVES TO JUMP THE DEAD BATTERY. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THE DOOR LATCH PROBLEM, I HAVE A LOCAL QUOTE TO REPLACE THE LATCH....$500.00 THROUGH FORD .....BEFORE I THE, CONSUMER OF A MADE IN THE USA PRODUCT PAY $500.00 TO GET THE LATCH REPLACED I WILL TRADE THE VEHICLE IN FOR A CHEVROLET!!! PLEASE RECALL THIS LATCH PROBLEM

PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED

I HAVE A 2011 FORD EDGE. DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AND DOES NOT TURN INTERIOR LIGHT OUT. IT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I AM ALSO NOT ABLE TO LOCK MY DOORS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE RECALLED!!! NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT FORD HAS NOT BEEN REQUIRED TO CORRECT THIS SIRUATION.

THIS VEHICLE HAS 64,000 MILES AND THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS THE DOOR AJAR PROBLEM, DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON IF DOOR IS OPEN OR CLOSED, ALSO FROM THE LOOKS OF THINGS THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ISSUED ONE OR MORE TIMES IN THE PAST.. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS, SEARCHING THE PROBLEM I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS BIG WITH MANY FORD PRODUCTS AND FOR ME WILL DECIDE IF I BUY AMERICAN MADE VEHICLES IN THE FUTURE. ALSO I HAVE FOUR MORE DOORS THAT USE THE SAME AJAR SYSTEM JUST WAITING TO GO BAD.

FORD EDGE 2011 JUST OVER 39,000 MILE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WOULD COME ON OFTEN BUT AFTER CLOSING SEVERAL TIMES WOULD GET IT TO TURN OFF. CLEANED AND LUBED DOOR LOCK AREA, AND HELPED PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME. NOW LIGHT IS ON PERMANENTLY, DOORS WILL NOT LOCK VIA AUTOMATIC NOR INTERIOR DOOR LOCK SWITCH WHILE DRIVING. EXTERIOR DOOR SWITCH NUMBER PAD WILL NOT LOCK DOOR WHILE PARKED. REMOVED 15 AMP INTERIOR LIGHT FUSE TO AVOID BATTERY DRAINAGE.

ALERT STATING "AWD OFF" AND AN IMAGE OF A WRENCH SUDDENLY CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. CAR SPUTTERED AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. PULLED OVER, TURNED CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. WHEN TURNED BACK ON, ALERT WAS OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, BUT COULD POSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF ON THE HIGHWAY OR DURING TRAFFIC DUE TO INABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR DRIVE CAR.

THE DRIVERS SIDE "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF AFTER CAR IS STARTED. THIS AFFECTS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND PARKING LIGHTS AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. MOST IMMEDIATE AFFECT IS A DRAINED/DEAD BATTERY. ALSO SAFETY CONCERNS BECAUSE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON AT NIGHT FOR SOME TIME MAKING VISIBILITY DIFFICULT WHEN BEGINNING TO INITIALLY DRIVE.

DOOR AJAR WARNING COMES ON. 44,000 MILES, GARAGE STORED. ALARMS IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. LIGHTS COME ON AND KILL BATTERY. BACK UP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK WITH THIS WARNING. THIS MAY HAPPEN WHEN YOU ENTER THE VEHICLE, GOING DOWN THE ROAD, ARE JUST PARKED IN GARAGE.

MY FORD. EDGE HAS A PROBLEM WITH A MODULE SYSTEM THAT IT IS OUTDATED MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IF I DONT TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER TO GET IT RECALL IT CAN CAUSE MY CAR TO OVER HEAT ND CATCH FIRE.

WHEN CLOSING THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR MESSAGE APPEARS AND THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE DOOR TO CLOSE. THERE ARE TIMES WHILE DRIVING THAT THE DOOR WILL INDICATE BEING OPEN LONG AFTER FIRST CLOSING THE DOOR PRIOR TO LEAVING THE DEPARTURE POINT. AFTER DEPARTING HOME OR WORK, THE DOOR WILL INDICATE IT IS CLOSED BUT ACTUALLY IT IS NOT CLOSED AND AFTER DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A MILE OR SO, IT WILL INDICATE IT OPEN AND ONCE AGAIN IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO ENSURE IT IS CLOSED AND WILL NOT OPEN WHILE DRIVING.

DRIVER-SIDE DOOR LATCH. CONSTANT DOOR AJAR ALERT. WILL NOT ALLOW DOORS TO LOCK AND INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A MONTH PRIOR TO THIS POST.

DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR SWITCH FAILED. DOOR AJAR LIGHT ALWAYS ON. DOORS WILL NOT AUTO LOCK WHEN DRIVING DUE TO THE COMPUTER THINKING THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN. DOME LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS WHICH SHORTENS THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING ILLUMINATED. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE SECURITY ALARM SOUNDED ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. ONCE THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS STRANDED MANY TIMES DUE TO THE FAILURES. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.
