2012 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND IT IS DRAINING MY BATTERY.THE DDOR LATCH IS DEFECTIVE

AFTER ENTERING MY VEHICLE AND THE DOOR WILL BE COMPLETELY CLOSED THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR WILL COME ON AND INTERIOR LIGHTS. ALSO, AS I WAS RIDING DOWN THE ROAD, OUT OF NO WHERE THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR COMES ON AND INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AND ALL THE DOORS UNLOCKED BY THEMSELVES...SOON AS I LOCKED THEM BACK, THEY UNCLOCKED AGAIN ON THEIR OWN.

DOOR SHOWING AJAR INTERMITTENTLY. DOME LIGHTS COMES ON AT RANDOM WITH DOOR AJAR LIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. CAN NOT LOCK DOORS WHILE AJAR LIGHT IS ON CREATING A SECURITY RISK. UNABLE TO SECURE VALUABLES INSIDE AS A RESULT. ALSO CAUSES DEAD BATTERY RESULTING IN STRANDED MOTORIST. COST OF REPAIR IS OVER $400 THROUGH DEALER

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER THE DOOR AS CLOSED WHEN IT IS. THE DASH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT SHUT OFF. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS TO BE CLOSED UP TO 30 TIMES BEFORE THE SENSOR REGISTERS THE DOOR AS CLOSED. THE DASH WARNING REMAINS LIT AND "SHIFT TO PARK" COMES ON WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT.

DRIVER-SIDE DOOR AJAR SWITCH FAILURE LEAVES DOORS UNLOCKED DURING TRAVEL. WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR-AJAR SENSOR IN A FAILED STATE, THE VEHICLE'S PROGRAMMING IS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKING ALL DOORS CAUSING A PASSENGER SAFETY RISK. LOCKING VIA INTERIOR BUTTON IS OVERRIDDEN AND THE DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

DRIVE DOOR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONED. WILL SAY "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" EVEN WHEN SHUT. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN I GET IN MY CAR AT THE END OF THE DAY TO DRIVE HOME, IN THE MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK, OR EVEN WHILE I'M DRIVING! THEN IT WILL CONSTANTLY BEEP AND SAY "SHIFT TO PARK" IF I'M COMING TO A STOP. THE DOOR IS CLEARLY SHUT, AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I OPEN AND RE-SHUT THE DOOR THE SENSOR WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT. BECAUSE OF THIS, I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK MY CAR, OR THE ALARM WILL GO OFF AT SOME POINT BECAUSE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPENING. SOMETIMES I'M NOT EVEN ABLE TO LOCK TO DOORS EVEN IF I WANTED TO, WHICH IS NOT AT ALL SAFE!

DOOR AJAR INDICATOR STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED KEEPING INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHEN DRIVING CAUSING VISION PROBLEMS AT NIGHT. ALSO WILL NOT ALLOW DOORS TO BE LOCKED WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION.CAR HAS ONLY 12000 MILES AND IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION AND HAS NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO HARSH WEATHER CONDITIONS.DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME BUT IS BECOMING FREQUENT.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE BATTERY TO BE COMPLETELY DRAINED.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SWITCH IS NOT WORKING WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING OR LEAVE LIGHTS ON TO DRAIN THE BATTERY WHEN PARKED.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR FAILURE: 2012 FORD EDGE LEFT REAR PASSENGER "DOOR AJAR" SENSOR FAILS TO INDICATE WHEN DOOR IS SHUT/LOCKED INDICATING IT MAY STILL BE OPEN/UNLOCKED. THE SENSOR FAILURE AFFECTS THE FOLLOWING: - ALARM/INTRUSION DETECTION: SECURITY SYSTEM DOES NOT SET PROPERLY AND WILL ACTIVATE RANDOMLY IF SET. ATTEMPTING TO SET ALARM RESULTS IN THREE ABNORMAL HORN BLASTS INDICATING A DOOR IS AJAR. IN THIS STATE, ALARM WILL SOUND RANDOMLY WHICH IS HIGHLY DISRUPTIVE TO NEIGHBORS. IT IS UNSURE WHETHER THIS MODEL CAN LOCK WITHOUT SECURITY SYSTEM ENABLED, FORCING THE VEHICLE TO BE LEFT UNLOCKED. - ELECTRIC / BATTERY: DOME LIGHTS, AND OTHER DASH INDICATORS DO NOT SECURE MANUALLY AND CAUSE SEVERE BATTERY DRAINAGE. EXPENSIVE BATTERY REPLACEMENTS. - SAFETY: SMALL CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS, UNSURE IF DOORS ARE PROPERLY SECURED, DOUBT AND PEACE OF MIND IN FORD. THE ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 2016. VEHICLE WAS PARKED. AT FIRST THE DOOR...

REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, HAVE DRAINED 2 CAR BATTERIES, THE ALARM GOES OFF AT RANDOM AND THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. HAD TO PULL CABIN LIGHTING FUSE TO STOP BATTERY FROM DRAINING. THE INDICATION IS CONSTANTLY ON THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IN DOOR IS ACTUALLY AJAR OR NOT.

THE DOOR AJAR IS ON PERMANENTLY WHEN THE DOOR ISN'T AJAR. LIGHTS ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM VIA OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS MODEL

FOR THE 2ND TIME IN 2 YEARS MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND IN MOTION WHICH LEAVES THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS ON AND THE DOORS UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING. THE OVERHEAD LIGHT ON AT NIGHT AND THE DOORS UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING IS DANGEROUS AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS SAFETY RELATED FOR A SECOND TIME IN 2 YEARS. *TR

THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND THIS LEAVES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHICH IS A NIGHTTIME DRIVING HAZARD. THE DEALER SAYS THE LATCH IS DEFECTIVE AND FORD WILL NOT ASSIST IN THE REPAIR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING AND STATIONARY. DUE TO THE HIGH COST (OVER $550.00) PEOPLE ARE GOING TO IGNORE THE REPAIR AND THEN DRIVE IMPAIRED. SO HOW MANY ACCIDENTS ARE REQUIRED BEFORE FORD IS FORCED TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT, WAITED FOR A WHILE, AND RESUMED DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,894.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND A WRENCH POPS UP ON THE DASH. LAT TIME IT HAPPEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN AN INTERSECTION . THAN 2 MORE TIMES IN A 4 MILE DRIVE . WE HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE AND HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO AND THAT WORKED TILL NOW. MY WIFE IS TO SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND I CANT SAY I BLAME HER . *TR

A WARNING LIGHT IS DISPLAYED STATING THE PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS NOT. THE DOOR CAN BE REPEATEDLY OPENED AND CLOSED ATTEMPTING TO MAKE THE WARNING LIGHT GO OFF, IT DOES NOT WORK THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF, WHICH MAKES DRIVING A HAZARD. ALSO, THE DOOR WILL NOT LOOK WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON. ANOTHER SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

DOOR AJAR SENSOR FAILED AND SAYS DOORS ARE OPEN WHEN THEY ARE LATCHED. YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN DRIVING WITH THIS ALARM. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. THIS HAS CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYING ON ALL THE TIME. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP, THE "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING COMES ON ALONG WITH THE DOOR CHIME. FORD CLAIMS IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND QUOTED ~$400 TO REPLACE (~$250 IF IT COULD BE "REPAIRED"). A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE AJAR LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. DUE TO THIS, WE CAN NO LONGER LOCK THE REAR DOOR WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE LOCATION OF OUR CHILD'S SEAT! ALSO, WE NO LONGER CAN TELL IF THE DOORS ARE PROPERLY CLOSED OR NOT. *TR

DOOR AJAR STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON. CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND INTERIOR LIGHT COME ON DUE TO DOOR AJAR ISSUE. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WHILE CAR IS MOVING DUE TO ISSUE MAKING THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WILL OFTEN REMAIN ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLEARLY CLOSED. THE LIGHT WILL ALSO RANDOMLY COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL ILLUMINATE, MAKING NIGHT DRIVING ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS. *TR

DRIVER DOOR SENSOR KEEPS TELLING ME THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS NOT. IT WILL DO THIS WHILE YOU ARE CRUISING DOWN THE FREEWAY CAUSING YOU TO FREAK OUT THINKING ONE OF THE KIDS HAS OPENING A DOOR IN THE BACK SEAT! THIS WILL BE THE 2ND TIME I'VE HAD TO TAKE THIS IN TO BE FIXED SINCE OWNING THE CAR, WHICH IS COMING UP ON ONE YEAR.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR INDICATION EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THE WARNING KEEPS ALERTING THE DRIVER. IT SAYS SHIFT TO PARK AND CLOSE THE DOOR. BUT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS OCCURS WHEN AT A STOP OR JUST BEFORE LEAVING A STOP LIGHT.

DOOR AJAR SENSORS/LIGHT DOESN'T INDICATE WHEN DOORS ARE CLOSED, AND WILL COME ON FOR NO REASON WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE AND DOORS UNLOCK/UNABLE TO LOCK. VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT OR WHEN I DRIVE WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. *TR

DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION ON DASH PANEL WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. DOME LIGHTS STAY ON LEADING TO DRAINED BATTERY AND LOCKS WILL NOT ENGAGE DUE TO VEHICLE NOT RECOGNIZING DOOR IS CLOSED. DOOR LOCKS DO NOT ENGAGE WHEN DRIVING OR EXITING THE CAR, EVEN WHEN DOOR IS TIGHTLY CLOSED. LOCKS DO NOT ENGAGE AND DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHEN STATIONARY AS WELL AS IN MOTION AND VEHICLE NOTIFIES TO SHIFT TO PARK AND CLAIMS DRIVERS DOOR IS AJAR. NO RECALLS AND VERY PRICEY TO HAVE LOCAL DEALERSHIP INSPECT, DIAGNOSE, AND REPLACE ENTIRE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM. I HAVE ONLY OWNED MY CAR FOR A YEAR. 47,349.8 MILES. HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

THE WARNING LIGHT THAT THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR IS CONSTANTLY ON, EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WHEN THE CAR IS ON, AND WHEN DRIVING. IT ALSO KEEPS THE INTERIOR AND PERIMETER LIGHTS ON, UNTIL THEY 'TIME OUT,' WEARING DOWN THE BATTERY. *TR

SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING DOOR LATCH AND DOOR AJAR SENSOR. SENSOR HAS FAILED AND CONTINUES TO THINK THE DOOR IS AJAR WHICH CAUSES THE DOORS NOT ABLE TO LOCK, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON AND CAUSES WINDSHIELD GLARE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS YOU CANNOT LOCK THE DOORS FOR PROTECTION AND YOU CAN'T SEE PROPERLY TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES, NOT SURE IF DOOR IS CLOSED ALL OF THE WAY OR NOT, DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AS WELL. THIS HAPPENS WHILE PARKED WHETHER KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION OR NOT AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR ISSUE. 2 YEARS AGO I HAD THE ISSUE, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE LATCH REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR THOUGHT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS AJAR. THEY REPLACED THE LATCH AND NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE REPLACEMENT LATCH ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THIS DOESN'T ALLOW THE DOORS TO BE LOCKED SINCE THE CAR THINKS THE DOORS ARE OPEN. ALSO, INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD AND APPEARS TO BE A RE-OCCURRING PROBLEM.

OPEN DOOR INDICATOR WON'T TURN OFF

SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENT POST TO FORD. OUR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR A FEW MONTHS....ONE REPAIR AFTER ANOTHER. I HAVE NOTED THE DATE OF THE "UNABLE TO TURN OFF LIGHTS"ISSUE BUT HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR ALL REPAIRS THIS YEAR.

DOOR AJAR. KEEPS SAYING LEFT REAR DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT.

THE "DOOR AJAR" SENSOR SEEMS TO BE BROKEN INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR COME ON (OR NOT GO OFF) MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AND VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I NEARLY COLLIDED WITH A PARKED CAR WHEN TURNING AS THE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED BECAUSE OF IT.

MY FORD EDGE,2012, HAD A "DOOR AJAR" WARNING AND IT REQUIRED SLAMMING THE DOOR VERY HARD TO GET THE WARNING REMOVED. MY LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON AFTER I PARKED AND AGAIN REQUIRE SLAMMING THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES. MY BACK UP CAMERA WILL WORK AND THEN NOT WORK MAKING THAT SAFETY FEATURE UNRELIABLE! I HAD THE DOOR LATCH REPLACED AT A COST OF 325 DOLLARS. OTHER FORD PRODUCTS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THESE PROBLEMS AND ARE UNDER A RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS NOT THE RESULT OF CARELESS TREATMENT BY MY WIFE OR ME. WE ARE BOTH OVER 70 YEARS OLD.

2012 FORD EDGE, "DRIVERS DOOR AJAR" MESSAGE ON CONSTANTLY. DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN VEHICLE STARTED!! INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN LIT AND BATTERY DRAINS! MESSAGE SAYS TO "PUT CAR IN PARK AND CLOSE DRIVERS DOOR". DOOR CLOSES WITHOUT ISSUE BUT DRIVERS DOOR AJAR MESSAGE DOES NOT GO AWAY. SUSPECT SWITCH IS BAD IN DOOR. THIS CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED AFTER STARTING VEHICLE!! COULD LEAD TO CARJACKING THEFT OR MY WIFE AND CHILDREN BEING STRANDED IF BATTERY DIES. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY!!

AFTER CLOSING THE FRONT DRIVERS DOOR, THE DASH LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED AND LATCHED. I PUSH ON THE DOOR AND THE LATCH HAS CAUGHT. WHILE DRIVING, THE SYSTEM STILL SEES THE DOOR AS UNLATCHED. I HAVE PLAYED WITH THE LATCHING MECHANISM AND I CAN GET THE SENSOR TO SEE THE DOOR CLOSED IN ABOUT 1 OUT OF 50 ATTEMPTS. MOST OF THE TIME I DRIVE AROUND WITH THE SYSTEM SEEING THE DOOR AS OPEN. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT CHANGED BECAUSE I FEAR THE REPLACEMENT WILL FAIL TOO. *TR

ISSUE - 'SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING INDICATOR IS SHOWN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND THE SHIFTER IS IN THE 'P' POSITION. DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED AND INTERNAL/EXTERNAL LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHILE IN THIS 'SHIFT TO PARK' POSITION DRAINING THE BATTERY. WHILE FOOT BRAKE PEDAL IS ENGAGED, SHIFTING AWAY FROM 'P' AND BACK TO 'P' SOMETIMES REGISTERS THE VEHICLE AS IN THE CORRECT PARK POSITION. REPEAT UNTIL WARNING MESSAGE IS GONE. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY ON A FLAT SURFACE BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THE VEHICLE IS REALLY PARKED SINCE IT'S WARNING I'M NOT BUT THE SHIFTER IS IN THE 'P' POSITION. I DARE NOT TRY THIS ON A HILL--AND ALWAYS THE BRAKE PEDAL ENGAGED WHILE I'M FIDDLING WITH THE HAND SHIFTER. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK FOR A YEAR. *TR

"DOOR AJAR" SENSOR BEGAN APPEARING ON DASHBOARD SPORADICALLY FOR 1 MONTH. ALL DOORS WERE CLOSED PER NORMAL, DOOR LOCKS WERE NEGATIVE FUNCTION WHILE SENSOR ACTIVE AND VEHICLE WAS EITHER PARKED OR MOVING. AFTER 1 MONTH, SENSOR WAS ON PERMANENTLY. DOOR LATCH/S RR'D AT FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THIS USED CPO EDGE WAS PURCHASED 13 MONTHS PRIOR. COST OF REPAIR: $540. SERVICE MANAGER HAS ADVISED ME THAT IN THE EVENT OF A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, I WILL BE REIMBURSED THE ENTIRE AMOUNT BY FORD. YEAH...RIGHT!

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE DISPLAYED AFTER ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT. PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, SEEMINGLY MORE OFTEN WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES REACH ABOVE 70 DEGREES. ATTEMPTS TO OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES OFTEN DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WHEN ISSUE OCCURS THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGINS MOVING, INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON. OCCURS WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OR WHEN PARKING. IF PARKING, WHEN THE KEY FOB "LOCK" BUTTON IS PUSHED THE HORN HONKS TWICE RATHER THAN THE NORMAL SINGLE HONK, INDICATING THAT THE SECURITY ALARM IS NOT ACTIVATED. PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHIN THE FIRST 10K MILES AND WAS FIXED BY FORD DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY. PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR AGAIN AROUND 35K MILES (JAN 2016).

DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. HAPPENS MORE IN WARM WEATHER THAN COLD. HAS CAUSE DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON OR COME ON INTERMITTENTLY . IF CAR NOT DRIVEN FOR A DAY OR TWO, HAS CAUSED BATTERY TO DRAIN COMPLETELY. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE HAS HAD TO BE CALLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR. WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION, CAR DOOR AJAR IS CONSTANTLY ON, AND ANYTIME YOU BREAK TO A NEAR STOP, THE ALARM BELL CHIMES.

SOON AFTER PURCHASING A USED 2012 EDGE, THE OPEN DOOR LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. ALL DOORS WERE CLOSED. ALSO THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON WHICH BECAME A SAFETY HAZARD PARTICULARLY WHEN TRANSPORTING CHILDREN. BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE DOOR LATCH AND LIGHT SWITCH WAS ONE MODULE AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $500. ONCE REPLACED THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS IS A REALLY COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL ITS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED!

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" LIGHT STAYS ON, CLOSING THE DOOR NUMEROUS TIMES AND LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT AND THE "SHIFT INTO PARK" LIGHT COMES ON WHEN LETTING OFF THE BRAKE LIKE WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE, OR AT EVERY STOP THIS IS ANNOYING. ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC THE CHIME GOES OFF (DRIVER DOOR AJAR OR SHIFT INTO PARK)AND YOUR TRYING TO KEEP FROM CAUSING AN ACCIDENT CHECKING OUT THE LIGHTS TO SEE WHY THE CHIME IS GOING OFF. THIS IS FRUSTRATING.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. WITH THAT PROBLEM IT LEAVES LIGHTS ON AND DRAINING BATTERY. I HAD VEHICLE REPAIRED AT FORD DEALER AT A COST OF $368.00. DEALER STATED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SOMEWHAT COMMON BUT NO FORD RECALL ISSUED.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON, EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ACTIVE. INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF WHILE THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ACTIVE.

THE DRIVER DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHT COMES ON STATING THE DOOR IS AJAR. INTERIOR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK AND BATT DRAINS.

MY FORD EDGE HAS ALL THE PROBLEMATIC SYMPTOMS DISPLAYED BY THE SHIFTER WARNING "SHIFT INTO PARK" AFTER THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN SITUATION AND FORD SAYS IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR HAS NOW PROGRESSED TO DISPLAYING THIS SAME MESSAGE NEARLY EVERY TIME WE SLOW DOWN TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION THEN DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE AGAIN AS WE ACCELERATE TO MOVE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. WITH THIS INCREASING ALARM/WARNING DISPLAY THE CAR HAS ALSO QUIT MOVING INTO THE PRESET SEAT AND MIRROR ADJUSTMENT SETTINGS, DECREASING DRIVERS FIELD OF VISION WITHOUT CONSTANT ADJUSTMENTS. THE CONSISTENT ALARMS SOUNDING OF "SHIFT INTO PARK" AND "DOOR AJAR" (CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED) IS VERY DISTRACTING, ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING OR ACCELERATING TO MAKE TRAFFIC CHANGE MANEUVERS. THESE ALARMS ARE MUCH MORE DISTRACTING THAN "HANDS FREE" PHONE CALLS YOU ARE CHECKING ALARMS WHILE CHANGING LANES, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, OR NAVIGATING INTERSECTIONS ETC....

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON THE WHOLE TIME DURING DRIVING CONDITIONS ON MY 2012 FORD EDGE, THE DOME LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE NIGHT TIME. WHEN PARKED THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON DURING THIS PERIOD ALSO. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ON A FULLTIME BASIS IN SEPT 2016

OUR 2012 FORD EDGE DASHBOARD INDICATES "DOOR AJAR" WHEN THE DOORS ARE COMPLETELY SHUT. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND WILL CAUSE BOTH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN LIT AND THE FACTORY ALARM TO ACTIVATE. WE PAID THE LOCAL FORD DEALER $135.60 (9/02/15 INVOICE ATTACHED) FOR THEIR REPAIR OF THE ISSUE BUT THE ERRONEOUS "DOOR AJAR" WARNING CONTINUES TO OCCUR. NOW WE TREAT THE PROBLEM OURSELVES BY SCOURING THE DOOR LATCH WITH CONTACT CLEANER AND A TOOTHBRUSH. BUT LIKE THE DEALER FIX, THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY. THE "SAFETY" ISSUE FOR US IS THE PROSPECT OF A DEAD BATTERY INTERRUPTING WHAT WOULD IDEALLY BE A PROMPT EXIT FROM A PARKING GARAGE, TRAIN STATION OR AIRPORT PARKING LOT, LATE AT NIGHT. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAS THUS FAR DONE NOTHING TO EXTEND THEIR WARRANTY OR ISSUE A REPLACEMENT FOR THE FAULTY LATCH MECHANISM. MANY AMATEUR FIXES CAN...

"DOOR AJAR" - MY 2012 FORD EDGE SEL WILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM ON A DAILY BASIS INTERMITTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. DOOR WILL BE CLOSED & DASH WILL LIGHT WITH DOOR AJAR WARNING. AT TIMES THE WARNING WILL GO AWAY & AUTO LOCK WILL LOCK AFTER I START DRIVING. OTHER TIMES I CAN MAKE A LONG DRIVE & OPEN & RECLOSE THE DOOR NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT THE WARNING GOING AWAY. BECAUSE THE DOOR JUST RANDOMLY THINKS IT'S UNLOCKED DURING THE DAY AND NIGHT TIME THIS IN TURN MAKES MY SYNC SYSTEM INTERIOR LIGHTS & SOMETIMES HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS CYCLE ON AND STAY ON FOR DIFFERENT INTERVALS AS WITNESSED BY MY MANY NEIGHBORS, HUSBAND & MYSELF. THIS HAS HAD A DRAIN ON MY BATTERY & WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT & JUMP IT BEFORE. ALSO, WE ARE EXPECTING OUR FIRST CHILD & ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE WE CANNOT...
