2011 FORD EDGE Structurebody Problems

AFTER CLOSING DOOR, THE DOME LIGHTS AND DOOR AJAR INDICATOR ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD ILLUMINATE. I WOULD HAVE TO SLAM THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE DOME LIGHT AND DOOR AJAR LIGHT INDICATOR LIGHT TO EXTINGUISH. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE IN COLDER WEATHER. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SENSOR IS NOT READING THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND REMAINS ON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A YEAR THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WITH DOOR SHUT. DOME LIGHT STAYS ON SO YOU ARE BLINDED AT NIGHT. CANT LOCK DOORS SO IT IS UNSAFE. STARTED DOING IT AT 19000 MILES. FORD WOULD NOT FIX IT. LOOKS LIKE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DOOR IS FULLY SHUT, DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON AND CANNOT LOCK CAR. I CAN OPEN AND SHUT IT TO TURN OFF WARNING BUT THEN IT POPS ON AGAIN. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND SHOULD ABSOLUTELY LEAD TO A MANUFACTURER RECALL. *TR

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WITH THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR WHICH CAUSE THE INTEIOR LIGHT TO RENAIB O WHILE DRIVING OR PARKING. I HAVE CLEANED THE SENSOR A FEW TIMES BUT IT SEEMS TO BECOME AN ISSUE. *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

DRIVER'S REAR DOOR IS GIVING THE "REAR DOOR AJAR" ALERT. THE DOOR IS CLOSED YET THE ALERT STAYS ON. IT WILL CAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR LIGHTS TO STAY ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO GO OFF BY SLAMMING THE DOOR, BUT THIS IS GETTING TO BE A PROBLEM AS WELL AS IT DOESN'T ALWAYS GO OFF AND I HAVE TO TURN THE EDGE BACK ON THEN CLICK "OK" ON THE ALERT THAT SHOWS ON THE DASH. *TR

"DRIVER DOOR AJAR" LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT WHEN DOOR IS TIGHTLY CLOSED. THIS KEEPS DOORS FROM AUTO-LOCKING WHILE IGNITION IS ON. HAPPENED FIRST TIME IN JUNE 2012, AT 41K MILES,4 MOS AFTER I BOUGHT CERTIFIED USED CAR. DOOR LATCH WAS REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING AGAIN NOW AT 85K MILES, AUGUST 2014. ALSO DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OUT. BATTERY RAN DOWN LAST NITE, COULD NOT START CAR THIS MORNING EVEN THO DOME LIGHTS WENT OUT AT SOME POINT. I WAS IN NORTH GA MTNS WHERE THERE IS NO CELL RECEPTION. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS STILL ONE CAR AT THE SITE WHO COULD JUMP THE BATTERY OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED THERE. I AM A RETIRED 69 YR OLD WOMAN; IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE WITHOUT DOORS LOCKED OR FOR THE BATTERY TO DIE WHEN THERE IS NO REASON FOR THAT TO...

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

AT THE ABOVE MILEAGE THE DRIVER DOOR SENSOR STARTED TO ACT UP, IT WOULD NOT LET ME OPEN THE DOOR BY TOUCHING THE HANDLE SO HAD TO USE THE KEY FOB TO OPEN IT. THEN WHEN I CLOSED THE DOOR IT SIDE THE DOOR WAS OPEN SO I OPENED IT AND SHUT IT AGAIN, STILL THE LIGHT DIDN'T GO OUT. THIS WAS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM BUT HAS SINCE NEVER CLOSED WITH THE LIGHT GOING OUT. TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT THE SENSOR MIGHT NEED TO BE CLEANED AND IT WOULD COST ME $190.00. *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR DOOR IS CLOSED BUT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHENEVER YOU ENTER THE CAR. *TR

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

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

IT SEEMS THE DOOR LATCH IS DEFECTIVE AS MANY EDGE OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT COMES ON & YOU HAVE TO OPEN & CLOSE THE DOOR TO RESOLVE IT. AFTER SEVERAL OCCURENCES, IT DOES NOT GO OFF BY SIMPLY OPENING & CLOSING THE DOOR. *TR

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

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

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 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 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

WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH FAILING ON THE 2011 FORD EDGE. DRIVER DOOR WILL CLOSE AND APPEARS TO BE SECURE. HOWEVER, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE, THE CAR WILL NOT AUTO LOCK WHEN YOU REACH THE DESIGNATED SPEED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES. ALL OF THIS RESULTS IN A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. IT TAKES SLAMMING THE DRIVER DOOR TO THE POINT YOU ARE AFRAID THAT ANOTHER ISSUE WILL ARISE BEFORE YOU CAN GET THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE THE DRIVER DOOR IS CLOSED. I TOOK MY EDGE TO MY FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH REPLACED. AS I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT THE TIME THIS PROBLEM STARTED, I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT FROM FORD AS THIS APPEARS TO BE ANOTHER WELL KNOWN, WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT FORD CHOOSES TO...

I WAS REAR-ENDED AT A PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK BY A TEEN TEXTING ON HIS SMARTPHONE WHILE DRIVING AT THE SPEED OF ABOUT 40MPH. THE IMPACT CAUSED ME TO SMASH INTO ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WASN'T INJURED BECAUSE I BRACED MYSELF FOR IMPACT LOOKING UP THROUGH MY MIRRORS. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AS IF THEY AIRBAGS WERE ABOUT TO DEPLOY ON THE DASH BOARD BUT THEY SIMPLY DIDN'T DEPLOY. WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AS IF THE AIRBAGS MIGHT POP OUT IF I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE CAR IS NOW PARKED AND WILL REMAIN PARKED UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS FULLY RESOLVED.. NO MORE FORD CARS FOR ME! *TR

WE HAVE A 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED WHICH SOMEONE THREW A 3" DIAMETER ROCK AT THE DRIVER SIDE GLASS. IT WAS NOTED GLASS WAS NOT TEMPERED BUT HAD A SOUND PROOFING LAMINATE IN MIDDLE OF GLASS. PRODUCE LARGE QUANTITIES OF SHARP GLASS SPLINTERS THROUGHOUT CABIN AND KEPT WINDOW GLASS INTACT. MY CONCERN IS THAT YOU COULD BE INJURED SEVERELY BY THE SHARP GLASS SPLINTERS FROM ANY OF THE WINDOWS SMASHING IN ACCIDENT. LASTLY, HOW DO YOU GET A PERSON OUT IF TRAPPED UNDER WATER WHEN LAMINATE IS HOLDING GLASS TOGETHER. WHAT IF YOU HAD TO RESCUE SOMEONE AND HAD TO SMASH GLASS, YOU COULD POTENTIALLY INJURE OCCUPANTS SEVERELY!!!! *TR

ON JULY 19TH, 2011 WHILE DRIVING SOUTH BOUND ON FOLLY ROAD IN CHARLESTON, SC I WAS SLOWING DOWN TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION W/ FORT JOHNSON ROAD. I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH WHEN I HEARD A VERY LARGE POP OR EXPLOSION LIKE SOUND. AFTER A SECOND OR TWO, I NOTICED SHARDS OF GLASS FALLING OFF THE ROOF OVER THE BACK WINDOW. I PULLED OVER INTO A LOT AND FOUND THE REAR MOST FIXED GLASS ROOF PANEL (OF THE PANORAMIC VISTA ROOF) HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT FORD WILL NOT TREAT THIS AS A WARRANTY COVERED ITEM. THE VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW, BOUGHT ONLY 4 DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. I HAVE FORMALLY SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD AND AM SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE IN 15 DAYS. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM IN THE MEANTIME - THE VEHICLE CAN NOT BE DRIVEN AND...
