2011 FORD EDGE Structurebody Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT, BUT EVENTUALLY EVOLVED TO A CONSISTENT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,100. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A NON-TAKATA REPLACEMENT FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. UPDATED 08/10/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AS A RESULT, ALL THE DOORS FAILED TO AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V643000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

REALLY TWO COMPLAINTS: 1) DASH/CENTER CONSOLE LIGHTS NOT SHUTTING DOWN PROPERLY AND REPEATEDLY TURN ON/OFF WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF. RESULTS IN BATTERY DRAW AND FREQUENT DEAD BATTERIES AND 2) DOOR LATCH WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF AND DOORS DO NOT LOCK PROPERLY WHEN BEING DRIVEN.

ON OCTOBER 2016, THE DRIVER WAS WESTBOUND ON 2 LANE ROUTE 40 NEAR SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. A MEDICAL CONDITION CAUSED THE DRIVER TO PASS OUT. THE AUTO VEERED OFF THE ROAD INITIALLY TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES PER HOUR. IT CROSSED THROUGH A YARD AND HIT NOSE FIRST INTO A HILL. ALMOST $10,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATE AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED HEAD AND FACIAL INJURIES DUE TO CONTACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DRIVER ALSO SUSTAINED DEEP BRUSING TO THE CHEST DUE TO THE SEAT BELT RESTRAINT. WE ARE INTERESTED TO KNOW WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATE AND PROTECT THE DRIVER. THE HEAD INJURIES AND VISION PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO RESTRICT THE DRIVER FORM BEING ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME DUE TO A FAULTY DOOR LATCH. THIS ISSUE CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON DRAINING THE BATTERY AND CAUSING A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. ALSO, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN DRIVING, WHICH CAN BE A HAZARD IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. THE COST TO MAKE THIS REPAIR THROUGH FORD IS APPROXIMATELY $400, WHICH I DO NOT HAVE IN MY BUDGET. PLEASE DO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL. PROBLEM BEGAN AS INTERMITTENT AND HAS NOW BECOME CONSTANT. FIRST NOTICED PROBLEM AROUND JULY OF 2016

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH DOES NOT CATCH. THIS CAUSES THE "DRIVERS DOOR AJAR" WARNING. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO NO TURN OFF WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. THIS RESULTING THE BATTERY BEING DRAINED. WHEN BATTERY IS DRAINED THE CAR WON'T START AND CAN LEAVE THE DRIVER STRANDED.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT WON'T GO OUT WHEN CLOSING DOOR, OR LIGHT JUST RANDOMLY COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, THIS IS CAUSING DOME LIGHTS AND CONSOLE LIGHT TO COME ON AND STAY , WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS IN THE DARK THE LIGHTS ARE DRAINING BATTERY EVEN WHEN CARS NOT RUNNING , THIS COULD LEAVE DRIVER STRANDED WITH DEAD BATTERY AT ANYTIME

I PURCHASED MY CAR 9/23/14. MY PASSENGER AND LEFT REAR DOORS CONTINUE TO INDICATE DOORS AJAR WHEN THEY'RE INDEED CLOSED. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO REPLACE MY BATTERY TWICE IN 2YRS. EXTREMELY COSTLY AND FRUSTRATING! BECAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, IT'S DRAINING MY BATTERY!!! WE AS CUSTOMERS NEED FORD TO DO THEIR PART AS A REPARABLE MANUFACTURER AND TAKE CARE OF THIS GROSSLY DEFECTIVE PART! I'M A WOMAN AND A MOTHER, THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN BEING STRANDED BC YOUR DOOR LIGHT WON'T GO OFF, YET AGAIN DRAWING THE BATTERY. THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS! THE DOORS WONT EVEN LOCK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IT'S BAFFLING THAT FORD DOESN'T SEE THIS AS A DANGER TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. AT THIS POINT I WON'T EVER BUY ANOTHER FORD NOR WILL I RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE ELSE!!

I BOUGHT THE 2001 EDGE USED. AFTER TWO DAYS I NOTICED THE PASSENGER DOOR OPEN ALARM CAME ON AND I COULD NOT REMOVE IT. BAD SENSORS. NOW, BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER DOOR ALARMS STAY ON. AND, IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK MY DOORS, SO WHEN I DRIVE THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED. MY GRAND DAUGHTER OPENED A BACK DOOR AT A STOP LIGHT. IN ADDITION, DUE TO THE SENSORS, THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND DRAINS MY BATTERY. LOOKING THIS UP THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. TO TEST THE ISSUE WHILE DRIVING, MY BROTHER OPENED THE DOOR ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 70 MPH. WHEN I TRY TO LOCK THE DOORS THEY REOPEN IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAPPENED 2/6/2017 AND HAS REMAINED THIS WAY.

THE REAR DRIVER-SIDE DOOR INDICATOR SWITCH HAS BECOME UNRELIABLE. IT NOW INDICATES THE REAR DRIVER-SIDE DOOR IS OPEN A MAJORITY OF THE TIME. BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED, INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT DIM RELIABLY AND THE DOORS NO LONGER LOCK RELIABLY. I DON'T GET THE OPTION TO DO SO UNTIL THE CAR IS WELL UNDER WAY.

THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR IS FAILING CAUSING THE CAR TO BELIEVE DOOR IS UNLATCHED. THIS LEAVES DOME LIGHT ON INSIDE CAR EVEN WHILE DRIVING. I UNDERSTAND FORD HAS RECALLED OTHER MODELS FOR THIS FAILURE BUT NOT EDGE. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED/LATCHED. THAT DOES NOT ALLOW TO LOCK THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY (AFTER THE SPEED IS MORE THAN 5 MPH) OR EVEN MANUALLY SINCE THEY UNLOCK IMMEDIATELY. THAT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. ALSO, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL YOU DRIVE, BLINDING YOU AND THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT.

DOOR SENSOR INDICATES DOOR OPEN EVEN WHEN MANUAL CLOSURE OF THE LATCH MECHANISM. HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE DEAD BATTERIES AND MAKES VEHICLE UNRELIABLE. FORD DENIES EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE BECAUSE THEY CLAIM ITS A "KNOWN MANUFACTURES DEFECT"

DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE DOOR CLOSES TO A "THUMP" AS THE DOOR LATCH WILL NOT LATCH TO THE BODY. I WOULD HAVE TO REACH INTO THE LATCH, WHILE HOLDING THE DOOR HANDLE OPEN, TO PUSH IT UP TO GET THE DOOR TO LATCH.

EDGE HAS DOOR AJAR LIGHT ISSUE THAT IS CAUSE BY FAULTY DOOR LATCHES. DOOR SENSOR INCORRECTLY READS DOOR(S) AS BEING OPEN THAT CAUSES BATTERY TO DRAIN AND DISCHARGE. INTERIOR LIGHTING COMES ON WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING THAT MAY CAUSE DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. ISSUE OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHILE STATIONARY. *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR SENSOR IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION REMAINS ON ONCE THE DOOR IS CLOSED, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. I ALSO CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS. I END UP DRIVING WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHT ON BECAUSE IT WILL NOT GO OUT. AT NIGHT TIME, THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS, NOT TO MENTION IT DRAINS THE BATTERY BY STAYING ON WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN. WHEN I EXIT THE CAR AND SHUT THE DOOR, IT TAKES ME UP TO FIVE MINUTES SOMETIMES TO OPEN AND RE-SHUT THE DOOR TO EVENTUALLY GET THE SENSOR TO REGISTER AND THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. IT'S RIDICULOUS AND FRUSTRATING. I HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE WILL LEAD TO A RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. MY CAR JUST HIT 62K MILES. I SAW OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AT THE SAME MILEAGE.

TAKATA RECALL THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY CAUSING THE ALARM TO GO OFF UNEXPECTEDLY, AS WELL AS "DOOR AJAR" DISPLAYED WHEN YOU GET INTO THE VEHICLE AND CLOSE THE DOOR. MANUALLY FLIPPING THE SWITCH UP WITH FINGERS SOMETIMES WORKS, BUT NOT RELIABLE AND SEEMS TO BE A CONCERN FOR DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE HEARING AIR COMING IN BECAUSE THE DOOR ISN'T SECURELY LATCHED. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AS IT SEEMS TO BE AN ENGINEERING ERROR. *TR

FRONT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S "DOOR AJAR" SWITCH FAILED CAUSING FALSE INDICATION OF DOORS OPEN, INOPERATIVE DOOR LOCKS AND DOME LIGHT TO STAY ON WHILE DRIVING, AND WHILE PARKED DOME LIGHT STAYS ON CAUSING BATTERY DRAIN. *TR

DRIVES DOOR AJAR SENSOR DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK LEAVING INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD AS YOU CANNOT SEE OUTSIDE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE GLARE FROM THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYING ON AS A RESULT OF THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED AND STAYS ON. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK EVEN IF MANUALLY ACTUATED. DOOR IS ACTUALLY FULLY CLOSED BUT NOT LOCKED. WARNING LIGHT IS ACTUATED WHEN CLOSING DOOR AND STARTING VEHICLE. CAR CAN BE DRIVEN BUT DOORS ARE UNLOCKED.

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHTS STAYS ON. THIS RESULTS IN THE DOME LIGHT STAYING ON WHILE DRIVING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME OR AFTER THE CAR IS OFF. DRAINED THE BATTERY ONCE. ALSO, THE DOOR CAN NOT BE LOCKED. ON A MUCH MORE SERIOUS NOTE, THE DOME LIGHT SUDDENLY COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE I'M UNABLE TO SEE CARS AROUND ME VERY WELL. I WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN FEB, 2015 AND FIXED IT ONCE. HOWEVER, THIS HAPPENS AGAIN RECENTLY. I REALLY THINK FORD SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE! *TR

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. ALSO I WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE CAR WITH THE SECURITY CODE FROM THE OUTSIDE THE CAR I HAD TO USE THE KEY. I WAS PARK WHEN I FIRST NOTICE THE PASSCODE WAS NOT WORKING THEN I USED THE KEY I CLOSED ALL THE DOORS AND STILL SAID ONE DOOR WAS OPEN, SO I MAKE SURE ALL WERE CLOSE. I REALIZE THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG SO I JUST DROVE THE CAR LIKE THAT. ALSO I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE WITH THE DOOR SENSOR. WHEN I CLOSE THE DRIVER DOOR THE WARNING TELLS ME THAT THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN. THIS LEADS TO MY DOME LIGHT STAYING ON , WHICH DRAINS MY BATTERY. *TR

DOOR AJAR WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED KEEPS LIGHTS ON.........HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT.....DRAINS BATTERY...CANT USE DOOR BUTTONS TO LOCK DOOR......

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

DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR SENSOR INCORRECTLY SENSES DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY CLOSED CAUSING THE INABILITY TO LOCK ANY OF THE VEHICLES DOORS. DOME LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN DRIVING. THE INABILITY TO LOCK ANY OF THE DOORS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN SINCE IT COULD ENABLE ANYONE TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR AND THE DRIVER HAS NO WAY TO LOCK THEM OUT.

DOOR AJAR WARNING ALWAYS ON RESULTING IN DOORS NOT LOCKING WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION, DOME LIGHTING STAYING ON WHEN EXITING THE CAR AND NOT BEING AWARE IF CAR DOOR IS SHUT.

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

WHILE DRIVING, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON EVEN THOUGH ALL THE DOORS ARE COMPLETELY CLOSED. THE IMAGE INDICATES THE PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND I AM UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

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.

DRIVE SIDE DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR SWITCH FAILS. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES IF THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE DOORS WON'T LOCK AND DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND IS WORSE IN COLD WEATHER. DEALERSHIP COMPLIED WITH A SERVICE LETTER BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK WITHIN MONTHS. DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO BE DRAGGING THEIR FEET.

A WARNING COMES UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT THE "DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR." I WILL CLOSE IT AGAIN AND MOST TIMES IT STILL SAYS IT IS AJAR. ONCE I BEGIN DRIVING THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, NOR WILL THEY ALLOW ME TO LOCK THEM, THEY IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK AGAIN. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHTING WILL STAY ON WHEN THE CAR IS NOT BEING DRIVEN AND IS STATIONARY.

THE DRIVERS DOOR DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS WAS STAYING ON AT ALL TIMES WITH THE DOOR SHUT. HAD TO REPLACE THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY TO MAKE THE ISSUE GO AWAY. POTENTIALLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF THE DOOR LATCH IS MALFUNCTIONING.

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' WARNING LIGHT ON MY 2011 EDGE PERIODICALLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON. THE WARNING INDICATES THAT VARIOUS DOORS ARE OPEN. SOMETIMES IT'S THE DRIVER DOOR; OTHER TIMES IT'S THE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR OR THE BACK GATE. EACH TIME THE DOORS WERE CLOSED PROPERLY, HOWEVER THE SENSOR THINKS THAT THE DOORS ARE OPEN. THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS AND THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON THE SIDE MIRRORS TO REMAIN ON, WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY. ORIGINALLY, I THOUGHT THIS ISSUE WAS A PROBLEM SPECIFIC TO MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, IN AN ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM, I CONDUCTED AN INTERNET SEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THE 'DOOR AJAR' WARNING IS A COMMON AND WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FORD PRODUCTS INCLUDING THE EDGE. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT A RESULT OF USE OR WEAR AND TEAR OF THE VEHICLE; IT CLEARLY IS A MECHANICAL /ENGINEERING FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT...

DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON-VEHICLE WILL NOT LOCK WHILE IN MOTION-INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF WHILE PARKED-ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS DRAIN BATTERY AS IF THE DOOR REMAINS OPEN AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED-NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED FOR FORD OWNERS AS THIS IS NOT THE ONLY FORD VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM-FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND STEP UP

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR ALERT. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF DUE TO A FAULTY DOOR LATCH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ON!!!

MY DRIVERS DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. DUE TO THIS MY DOME LIGHT REMAINS ON WHICH CAUSES IT TO BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT. IT ALSO DRAINS MY BATTERY ON A REGULAR BASIS. MY LOCAL DEALER DID SOMETHING AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TO "FIX IT", HOWEVER IT HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A FORD DEALER ALMOST TO YEARS AGO.

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.

THE DOOR AJAR LAMP INDICATES THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR IS AJAR EVEN THOUGH IT IS CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS ANY OF THE DOORS FROM BEING LOCKED.

DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED, PREVENTING THE DOME LIGHT FROM GOING OFF AND THE DOOR FROM LOCKING WHILE DRIVING.

"DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING ON DASH, AND INTERIOR LIGHTS ON, WHILE DOOR CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT INTERFERE WITH NIGHT VISION AND, ESPECIALLY, REAR VIEW MIRROR VISION. ALSO DRAINS BATTERY OVER NIGHT. STARTED AS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT NOW CONSTANT.

DOOR AJAR WARNING CAME ON WITH THE DOOR CLOSED HAS VERY QUICKLY GOT WORSE CAR WILL NOT LOCK PROPERLY WHEN OFF ANYONE CAN PRESS THE KEYPAD AND GET IN THE CAR SO POTENTIAL BREAK IN AND DOOR DO NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING SAFETY ISSUE IF MY DAUGHTER REACHES FOR THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS I'M ABOUT TO SPEND HUNDREDS TO GET THIS FIXED AND IT COULD POTENTIALLY HAPPEN AGAIN !

WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR THE DOOR LATCH DOESN'T LATCH PROPERLY AND THE WARNING LIGHT THE DOOR IS AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON KEEPING DOME LIGHTS LIT. DOOR CAN BE OPENED AND CLOSED 5,6 TIMES AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THE DOOR DOESN'T EVEN LATCH, NON OF THE DOORS LOCK, AND AT NIGHT ITS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH DOME LIGHTS LIT. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR ONCE SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. I SO MAD I'M READY TO TRADE THE CAR IN ON A TOYOTA. TO MAKE THE ISSUE WORSE IS EVERY CAR YOU'VE MADE SINCE I BOUGHT THIS HAS HAD DOOR LATCH RECALLS. MY BOYFRIEND JUST GOT A RECALL (15S16) FOR HIS 2013 FUSION AND HE HAS NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH...

THE DOOR AJAR SWITCH STAYS ON ALL THE TIME . IT CAUSE THE LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE FOR FEW MINUTES AND YOU CAN'T SEE HOW TO DRIVE AT NIGHT YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM TO GO OUT.

AT ABOUT 75,000 MILES MY DOOR ADJAR LIGHT FOR MY DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. IT TURNS OUT THE SENSOR OF THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY IS BAD. THIS CAUSES SAFETY HAZARDS BECAUSE MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK THE DOORS FROM THE INTERIOR WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I'VE SPOKEN WITH FORD REPRESENTATIVES AND THIS IS A KNOWN, COMMON PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE. I THINK A RECALL OF THE FAULTY PRODUCT THAT CAUSES SAFETY HAZARDS WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.

DRIVER DOOR ADJAR WARNING / INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD NOT SHUT-DOWN.

DRIVER DOOR SHOWS A "DOOR AJAR" WARNING WHEN THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY FULLY CLOSED. WARNING REMAINS WHEN VECHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. CURRENTLY SLAMMING THE DOOR VERY HARD WILL PREVENT THE MESSAGE FROM COMING ON, BUT IS BECOME LESS EFFECTIVE.
