2012 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY AND THE REPAIR WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ALARM SHOWS DOOR AJAR WHEN IT IS NOT. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. NO AMOUNT OF DOOR CLOSING MAKES IT STOP. IT WAS INCONSISTENT, NOW IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY.

VEHICLE SAYS THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS AJAR BUT THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND LATCHED. CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO LOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE DRIVING, DINGS EACH TIME WHEN I ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A STOP, MESSAGE IS "SHIFT TO PARK".

THE FRONT DOOR AJAR LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND STAYING ON NO MATTER HOW YOU SLAMMED THE DOOR SHUT (IT WAS NOT AJAR). WHEN STOPPING IT WOULD SAY TO PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT THE DOOR. WHEN PARKED THE INSIDE LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON, DRAINING THE BATTERY, RUINING THE BATTERY.

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR INDICATOR ON DASH/WARNING LIGHT. DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED, DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND AUDIBLE INDICATOR REMAINS ON BUT CAN BE MUTED BY SELECTING OK. "SHIFT TO PARK" LIGHT/INDICATOR COMES ON WHEN STOPPED AND STARTING AGAIN. DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT AUTO/MANUAL LOCK, UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. STARTED YESTERDAY (AUGUST 30). DOOR IS SHUT BUT LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. I RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I CANNOT AFFORD TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I JUST BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR ANOTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM (PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON) TWO WEEKS AGO WHICH COST OVER $400 TO REPAIR. PLEASE SEE MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT REGARDING THE AIRBAG LIGHT 10899708.

BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR CLOSED SENSORS STOPPED WORKING. THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND THE DOOR LOCKS TO UNLOCK WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO GO OUT ONCE I REACH 10 MPH BUT THERE IS NO VISIBILITY WHEN BACKING UP AT NIGHT MAKING IT DANGEROUS FOR ME AND ANYONE THAT MIGHT BE BEHIND ME.

INSTRUMENT PANEL SAYING PASSENGER DOOR AJAR WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED WHEN DRIING. CAR LOCKS DO NOT LOCK DUE TO THIS MESSAGE ALSO, SEVERAL TIMES ALARM HAS GONE OFF ON ITS OWN BOTH ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING FOR TWO YEARS ALSO, WHILE DRIVING THERE SOMETIMES HAS BEEN A NOISE LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING INCORRECTLY

LIGHT COMES ON SAYING DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN, COME TO A STOP STARTS DINGING SHIFT TO PARK. CAR CANT BE LOCKED AT TIMES, AND WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING. LIGTS WILL STAY ON RUNNING DOWN THE BATTERY IF YOU DONT TURN THEM OFF INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME TAKING TO DEALERSHIP, FORD CUSTOMER CARE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN BOTH INSTANCES, COST TO REPAIR IS OVER $600.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST WEEK, THE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR ALARM SOUNDED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE DOOR LOCKS DISENGAGED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO RE-CLOSE THE DOOR; WHICH SILENCED THE ALARM; BUT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON. AS I PULLED OUT AND GOT BACK UP TO THE SPEED THE LOCKS WOULD NORMALLY ENGAGE, THE DRIVERS DOOR ALARM SOUNDED AGAIN, INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ON AND LOCKS NEVER ENGAGED, EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE LOCK BUTTON. PULLED OVER A 2ND TIME - WITH THE SAME RESULT. THE THIRD TIME I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND SAT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. AGAIN, THE SAME PLUS THE SHIFT INTO PARK ALARM ALSO SOUNDED AS SOON AS I REACHED SPEED WHEN THE LOCKS SHOULD ENGAGE. I CONTINUED HOME LISTENING TO 2 ALARMS BLARE, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS LIMITING MY VIEW AND THE DOORS REFUSING TO LOCK....

LIGHT COMES ON SAYING DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN, COME TO A STOP STARTS DINGING SHIFT TO PARK. I AM DRIVING RIGHT NOW. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, SOMETIMES WHEN YOU OPEN DOOR AT NIGHT LIGHTS DON'T COME ON. DOORS NOT LOCKED AND OPEN DOOR ALARM GOES OFF. CAR HAS BEEN AT DEALER 3 TIMES LAST YEAR THEY HAD IT FOR A WHOLE WEEK, NOW PROBLEM IS STARTED AGAIN BUT MUCH WORSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALTHOUGH THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. AS A RESULT, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER HOWEVER, THE DIAGNOSES WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,346.

DASH SHOWING DRIVERS DOOR IS AJAR AND IT IS CLOSED, THE INTEARER LIGHT STAYS ON AND IS A DISTRACTION DRIVING AT NITE TIME WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT

DOOR LATCH ON DRIVER SIDE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, SO LIGHTS IN THE CAR STAY ON AND DOORS CAN'T BE LOCKED. BEEPING SIGNAL IS ALWAYS ON AS IS SAFETY SHIFT TO PARK WARNING. VERY UNSAFE AND DISTRACTING. I HAVE TO MENTION THAT THIS WAS"FIXED" UNDER WARRANTY BUT CAME BACK SHORTLY AFTER AGAIN.

UPON STARTING VEHICLE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING WILL NOT SHUT OFF. DOME LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON. UNABLE TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN OPERATION.

DOOR AJAR AND LATCH ISSUE. DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON. THEREFORE, WE ARE NOT ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHILE IN VEHICLE. I GUESS THE LATCH ON DRIVER SIDE HAS SOME PROBLEM. ALSO, THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE ALSO NOTICED SIMILAR PROBLEM. IF YOU USE GOOGLE TO SEARCH "FORD EDGE DRIVER DOOR AJAR" A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. EVEN SOME PEOPLE UPLOAD VIDEOS TO YOUTUBE TO GUIDE PEOPLE HOW FIX IT BY THEIR OWN. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND FORD TO RECALL OUR CARS AND FIGURE OUT THIS PROBLEM FOR US!!!!

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STAYS AJAR WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. RESULTING THE VEHICLE NOT TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. VERY DANGEROUS FOR YOUNG KIDS.

DOOR IS AJAR DRIVE FRONT DOOR INDICATOR. HAD IT REPAIRED AT 36,000 MILES. ISSUE RETURNED AT 51,000 MILES. CAUSES CONFUSION WHILE DRIVING AND LEADING TO A DISTRACTED DRIVER.

DOOR AJAR WARNING WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS CAUSES DOME LIGHT TO STAY ON CAUSING DANGEROUS CONDITION WHILE REVERSING AT NIGHT AND KILLING THE BATTERY WHILE PARKED OVER NIGHT. THE "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING WILL SOUND WHILE DRIVING, AND THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

WHEN WE SHUT THE DRIVERS DOOR WE GET A DOOR AJAR LIGHT.IT REMAINS ON EVEN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO SHUT THE DOOR. AND WHEN IT IS PARKED AND LOCKED THE LIGHTS WILL FLASH AND THE REAR HATCH WILL OPEN , AND THE HATCH HAS OPENED WHEN THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN WHEN I SAY DRIVEN I MEAN DRIVING DOWN THE HI-WAY VERY UNSAFE!!

THE SENSOR FOR THE DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS NOT WORKING. THE PANEL TELLS ME THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT. I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES OR CLOSE THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES HARD IN ORDER FOR THE SENSOR TO GO OFF. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE EDGES. I DO NOT HAVE 5OO DOLLARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK AFTER CAR IS IN MOTION AND THIS COULD BE A POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE WHILE PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING IN THIS VEHICLE. ALSO WITH THE REMOTE, SOMETIMES LOCKING THE CAR IS AN ISSUE. COULD POTENTIALLY DRAIN THE BATTERY. THANK YOU. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR INDICATOR INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE DOOR IS CLOSED. IT WILL UNLOCK ALL THE DOORS AND SAY "SHIFT TO PARK". THE DOORS UNLOCKING AND NOT STAYING LOCKED IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN! IN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND MADE A BEEPING NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE SHIFT TO PARK AND INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO DIM THE WARNING LIGHTS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CONTINUOUSLY BLEW OUT HOT AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

DRIVER DOOR AND LEFT REAR DOOR CONSTANTLY SAYS DOOR AJAR. REGARDLESS HOW HARD IT IS CLOSED IT STILL SAYS DOOR AJAR. WD40 OR ANY OTHER LUBRUCANT OR CLEANER DOES NOT RECTIFY THE SITUATION. THIS IS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IN MOTION, WITH THE KEY IN OR OUT OF THE IGNITION. BECAUSE OF THIS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO NOT TURN OUT, WHICH CAUSES THE BATTERY TO GO DEAD REPEATEDLY. IN ADDITION TO THE DEAD BATTERY THE DOME LIGHT WILL STAY ON WHILE DRIVING.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON NOT ABLE TO LOCK DOORS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING FOUR MONTHS AGO. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND REPLACED THE HALF SHAFT, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE WHETHER THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V393000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT WAS TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER FOR MORE DISCLOSURE CONCERNING THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2012 FORD EDGE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AT 35,000 MILES ..SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON IT..

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS "ON" EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED WITH CAR IN DRIVING MODE. STARTED HAPPENING WITH 39K MILES ON VEHICLE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON 11/10/14 FOR REPAIR COST OF $272. REPAIR ONLY LASTED 15 MONTHS AND NOW SAME PROBLEM IS BACK. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPAIR FOR FREE SINCE PAST 6 MONTH REPAIR DATE. IT'S TIME FOR FORD TO STAND UP & ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS OTHERS HAVE STATED.

MY "DOOR AJAR" SIGNAL WON'T TURN OFF FOR MY DRIVERS DOOR. I HAVE BOUGHT THREE NEW BATTERIES AND BEEN STRANDED THREE TIMES DUE TO POWER DRAIN WHEN LIGHTS AND SOUND SYSTEM WOULD NOT SHUT DOWN DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IN ADDITION TO MONEY AND TIME, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE DOORS WON'T LOCK WHILE DRIVING AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON, INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, DOORS WILLNOT LOCK. TAKEN TO DEALER 12/31/15 THEY CLEANED AND OILED DOOR SENSOR AND IT LASTED 6 MO.. IT NEEDS REPACED BEFORE BATTERY RUNS DOWN OR SOMETHING MAJOR HAPPENS.

DOOR AJAR INDICATOR SENSOR FAILS. DESPITE THE DRIVERS DOOR BEING FULLY CLOSED THE INDICATOR POPS UP ON SCREEN. DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON, AND DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED. DID FIND OUT IT'S NOT HOW HARD YOU CLOSE THE DOOR. IT SEEMS TO BE THE NUMBER OF TIME WHICH IS RANDOM.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER CLOSING DOOR SEVERAL TIMES. THIS CAUSES THE DOORS TO STAY UNLOCKED AND THE DOME LIGHT ON. IT ALSO INTERMITTENTLY WILL TURN ON AT NIGHT WHILE JUST SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY DRAINING THE BATTERY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AROUND WITH THE DOORS UNLOCKED AND WITH THE DOME LIGHT ON AT NIGHT.

MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT. IT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. UNABLE TO USE CAR ALARM BECAUSE IT DOES NOT REGISTER THAT THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS STARTED BACK IN MAY AND HAS STAYED ON EVER SENSE.

DRIVER DOOR IS SHUT, BUT DOOR AJAR INDICATOR INSIDE VEHICLE STAYS ON ALONG WITH DOME LIGHT AND DOORS WON'T AUTO LOCK ANYMORE. CONTINUOUSLY OPENING AND CLOSING WON'T TURN OFF DOOR AJAR INDICATOR.

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON EVEN AFTER THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED.

MY 2012 FORD EDGE, DRIVERS DOOR ADJAR SWITCH ,KEEPS INDICATING THE DOOR IS OPEN,WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED, BECAUSE OF OTHER ACCESSORIES ATTACHED TO THIS SWITCH ,IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT ,TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, THE BUZZER NOSE ,MAKE YOU TURN THE RADIO UP SO YOU WANT HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE NOISE, AND THE DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING, AND THE INSTRUMENT INFO KEEPS GOING BACK TO THE ISSUE, ALSO SO IT TELLS YOU TO PUT CAR IN PARK DOOR ADJAR, AFTER RESEARCHING THIS EVERYONE TELLS ME TO BREAK THE SWITCH, BECAUSE IF YOU FIX IT , IT WILL KEEP COMING BACK, BECAUSE THE MECHANISM THAT WORKS THE SWITCH IS POORLY MAD, WHEN THE PLASTIC WEARS, IT WILL NOT OPEN FULLY TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT.

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR WARNING WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT IS GETTING WORSE. THE ISSUE HAPPENED BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS 2 YEARS OLD AND WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN AT THE 4 YEAR MAKE AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS PART SHOULD LAST THE NORMAL LIFE SPAN OF THE VEHICLE AND BARELY LASTS TWO YEARS. VERY POOR DESIGN AND QUALITY OF THIS PART MAKES ME HATE THIS VEHICLE AND FORD IN GENERAL. LOTS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED REGARDING THIS MATTER AND NO NEED FOR ME TO REPEAT THE SAFETY ISSUES.

"DOOR AJAR" DASH LIGHT REMAINS ON EVEN AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WHILE DRIVING AND IS A HAZARD FOR SMALL CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THE BACK AND HAVE ACCESS TO OPEN THE DOOR.

MY 2012 FORD EDGE CONTINUES TO ALERT AS I AM DRIVING THAT MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IN REALITY IT IS NOT. I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS BECAUSE IT DISTRACTS ME AS I AM DRIVING DUE TO THE RED ALERT POSTED ON THE PANEL ALONG WITH THE HIGH PITCH BEEP/ALARM AS THE WARNING. I THAN HAVE TO CONTINUALLY HIT THE RESET BUTTON WITH MY LEFT THUMB IN ORDER TO SILENCE THE WARNING UNTIL IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN WITHIN SECONDS. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT IT IS VERY COMMON WITHIN THESE FORD VEHICLES. IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IF THIS COULD BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE FOR MANY MONTHS NOW. ONE STAGE OBSERVATION IS THAT THE AFOREMENTIONED MALFUNCTION BECOMES OCCURS MUCH MORE OFTEN ONCE THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE EXCEEDS 65 DEGREES OR HIGHER FOR SOME REASON. THANK YOU [XXX]...

DOOR AJAR SENSOR SHOWS OPEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. EVEN AFTER SLAMMING DOOR. SENSOR SHOWS DOOR OPEN ANY TIME THE CAR IS STARTED.

WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL TURN ON AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE THE DOOR THE ALARM WILL NOT TURN OFF NOR THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT THE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON AND THE DOOR AJAR ALARM IS ON CONSTANTLY.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SAYS IS AJAR WHEN IT IS CLOSED. THIS IS WHEN PARKED OR IN DRIVE. INDICATOR WILL NOT GO OFF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I SHUT THE DOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO PROPERLY CLOSE WHILE THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR SWITCH MALFUNCTION WHENEVER IGNITION IS TURNED ON.

DRIVER`S DOOR SENSOR TELLS DOOR AJAR-WHEN IT IS NOT

DOOR AJAR WARNING WILL NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN DRIVING AND LOCKING VEHICLE, CREATING EXTRA DRAIN ON BATTERY AND POOR VISIBILITY DURING NIGHT DRIVING. INITIALLY, IT WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN DOOR WAS SLAMMED SHUT, BUT IS NOW CONTINUOUS.

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ALARM ALWAYS GOES OFF. CONSTANT DINGING, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 1 BATTERY ALREADY. DRIVING AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN REVERSE, IS TERRIBLY DIFFICULT WITH THE LIGHTS ON. THE DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT, HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT STOP THE ALARM. THE OTHER ISSUE I'VE HAD IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE BRAKES SO GOT THOSE FIXED AND THEN STOPPING WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ENTIRELY TO THE FLOOR TO COME TO A SLOW STOP. SHOULD I HAVE HAD TO COME TO A QUICK STOP, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE. MY HUSBAND DID SOME RESEARCH TO SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SO WE WENT TO GET IT REPAIRED. HOWEVER, IT WAS COSTLY AND COULD HAVE BEEN A TOTAL DISASTER. THE CAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME.

FAULTY/FAILING DOOR LATCH SENSOR TRIGGERS "DOOR AJAR" INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SOUND WARNINGS WHILE ENGINE IS ON, CAUSING DOORS TO UNLOCK, INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON, AND CONTINUED SOUND WARNINGS WHENEVER VEHICLE ACCELERATES. WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND ENGINE IS OFF, SENSOR FAULT CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON FOR 10-MINUTE CYCLE THAT CANNOT BE MANUALLY OVERRIDDEN (PER FORD). ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS IT NOW UNDER WARRANTY OR "GOODWILL" REPAIR PROGRAM.
