2012 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

SAYS DOOR IS AJAR WHEN ITS NOT. DOME LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, WONT LOCK, AND BEEPS CONSTANTLY WHEN NOT IN PARK UNTIL I TRY TO CLOSE THE DOOR, THAT IS ALREADY CLOSED. HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE, OPEN AND CLOSE, OPEN AND CLOSE UNTIL IT TURNS OFF. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS IS NOT JUST AN ANNOYANCE ISSUE. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL CONSTANTLY STAYS ON AFTER I'VE ALREADY MADE SURE THE DOOR WAS SHUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. MY INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL I'VE SLAMMED THE DOOR ABOUT 5-6 TIMES. IT'S REALLY HARD TO TELL IF THEY'VE SHUT OFF IN THE DAYTIME AND SO I'M FEARFUL I MAY COME OUT TO MY BATTERY BEING DEAD. IT ALSO SCARES ME TO SEE IT COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER AS I'M UNSURE WHETHER THE DOOR IS PROPERLY LATCHED. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL SO THAT ALL DRIVERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE CAN GET THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

DOOR SENSOR AJAR MALFUNCTIONING. DOME LIGHT IN CAR STAYING ON CAUSING NIGHT DRIVING HAZARD. DOORS NOT LOCKING WHILE DRIVING DUE TO SENSOR MALFUNCTION. SENSOR INCORPORATED IN DOOR LATCH. DOOR LATCH HAS TO BE REPLACED TO RECTIFY. *TR

DOOR ALWAYS INDICATE OPEN. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE THE CAR CAN'T BE LOCK. ALSO THE LIGHT INSIDE IS ALWAYS ON CAN'T BE TURN OFF AND THIS IS A DRIVING HAZAR. *TR

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED....NOT ALLOWING THE DOOR TO LOCK WHILE IN MOTION. *TR

FORD EDGE SPORT 2012. DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILS AND/OR GIVES FALSE READINGS. DRIVER SIDE CONSOLE DISPLAYS DOOR OPEN INDICATOR. I HAVE TO REPEATEDLY OPEN AND CLOSE TO THE DOOR TO CLEAR THE INDICATOR LIGHT. IT USUALLY HAPPENS RIGHT WHEN I ENTER THE VEHICLE BUT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. I PULLED OVER AND OPENED/CLOSED THE DOOR TO CLEAR THE MESSAGE. *TR

DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLEARLY CLOSED. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE INSIDE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. WHEN FIRST ENTERING VEHICLE IN THE MORNINGS, INTERIOR LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. BECAUSE OF THIS I AM UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED WHEN THE DOOR WAS SECURED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE INTERIOR AND THE HEAD LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE SENSOR FOR THE DOOR AJAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS BAD AND I CANNOT LOCK MY DRIVER DOOR DUE TO THE ALARM SOUND FROM MY DISPLAY PANEL. THE DOOR AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKS PUTTING MY SAFETY AT RISK IN PARKING LOTS, DANGEROUS AREAS, AND WHEN I AM DRIVING. THE FORD DEALER TELLS ME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF THESE VEHICLES AND IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AS OF YET. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE DOOR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR LOCK THE DOOR WHEN YOU ENTER THE VEHICLE FOR PERSONAL SAFETY. *TR

THE SENSOR IN MY DRIVERS DOOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE DOOR IS CLOSED. AS I'M DRIVING THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF BECAUSE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THINKS THE DOOR IS OPENING. ALSO THE VEHICLE ALERTS ME WITH EVERY BUMP I HIT IN THE ROAD THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR WITH A SCREEN ALERT AND RINGING BELL. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SPENT $150 TO HAVE IT CLEANED WHICH HELPED FOR 6 MONTHS AND NOW IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED HOWEVER, THE DOOR WAS CLOSED IN A SECURE POSITION. IN ADDITION, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ACTIVATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. UPDATED 04/13/15*LJ UPDATED 6/29/2015*JS

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING SENSOR STAYS ON. THIS CAUSED INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON. TOOK HOURS TO "FOOL" THE SYSTEM TO GET WARNING SENSOR TO DEACTIVATE, CONSEQUENTLY ALL LIGHTS WENT OUT. FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SWORE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS YET OWNER COMPLAINTS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. *TR

DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, INABILITY TO LOCK DOORS WHEN IN VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR WAS CLOSED SECURELY. IN ADDITION, THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO YEARS LATER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTING REMAINED LIT. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOORS WERE NOT ABLE TO BE LOCKED FROM THE INSIDE DUE TO A FAULTY DOOR LATCH. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

MY 2012 FORD EDGE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES. ONE OF THEM BEING THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT. THIS WARNING LIGHT WILL KEEP MY INSIDE LIGHTS ON IF I AM NOT ABLE TO CLEAR THE WARNING. I USUALLY NEED TO SLAM THE DOOR A COUPLE OF TIMES AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THEN I NEED TO RESTART THE CAR AND CLOSE THE DOOR AND THEN TURN THE CAR OFF AND USUALLY THIS WILL CLEAR IT. I HEAR THIS IS HAPPENING TO QUITE A FEW FORD VEHICLES AND THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FOR A RECALL. IF YOU DON'T REALIZE THAT YOUR CARS INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON THEN IT COULD DRAIN YOUR BATTERY AND LEAVE YOU STRANDED. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT GOES ON AT INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWING DRIVER'S DOOR IS AJAR. ACTUALLY THE DOOR IS SECURE AND CLOSED. THIS HAPPENS AT CERTAIN TIMES AND NOT ALL THE TIME. *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING CONSTANTLY ON EVER AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING DOOR SEVERAL TIME. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND REPAIR MADE, BUT IN JUNE 2014 THE ISSUE BEGAN AGAIN (APPROX 21000 MILES). RETURNED TO DEALER SECOND TIME AND THEY REPLACED THE PART. NOW AT 32000 MILES THE ISSUE CONTINUES CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS WITH DOORS NOT LOCKING WHEN DRIVING WITH THIS ISSUE. WHEN MANUALLY PUSHING DOWN THE DOOR LOCKS, THE DOORS WILL IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. EVERY TIME I BRAKE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TURN ON AND THE WARNING CHIME SOUNDS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD IN MY CAR. NOW THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND IT WILL COST NEARLY $500 TO FIX SINCE FORD REFUSES TO RECALL THE DEFECTIVE DOOR SWITCHES/LATCHES. *TR

DRIVER DOOR OPEN SENSOR WENT OFF CAUSING INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON AND ALARM START GOING OFF. THIS WAS AT 8:30 PM ON A RURAL ROAD. I LOST MY NIGHT VISION AND SWERVED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD CAUSING MY 11 YEAR OLD TO STRIKE HER HEAD ON THE SIDE WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE AND DAMAGE TO THE FRONT SPOILER. THIS SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND TSB WAS ISSUED BY FORD 6 MONTHS AGO. THE POLICE OFFICER THAT CAME SAID HIS BROTHER HAS A FORD F-150 THAT THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM AND HE TOTALED HIS TRUCK AT NIGHT. AFTER DOING AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR FORD DRIVER DOOR OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND FOUND NUMEROUS WEBSITES DEDICATED TO THE PROBLEM AND IMMENSE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS. HOW LONG CAN FORD GET AWAY WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY? *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLEARLY CLOSED. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE INSIDE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. WHEN FIRST ENTERING VEHICLE IN THE MORNINGS, INTERIOR LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. *JS

THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR SWITCH IS HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES AND AT TIMES IS SHOWING AN ALARM "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS. PLEASE FIX ASAP. MANY DRIVERS WITH SAME MAKE AND MODEL ARE HAVING THE SAME ONGOING ISSUE. RECALL NEEDS TO BE SET IN PLACE. *TR

DOOR LATCH DOES NOT REGISTER THE DOOR AS BEING CLOSED. THIS RESULTS IN THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR BEING LIT WHEN THE DOOR IS LOCKED. THIS IMPAIRS THE ABILITY TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. *TR

-DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED -INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYS ON -INABILITY TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN VEHICLE -FAULTY LATCH *TR

THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR SWITCH WAS HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES AND AT TIMES WAS SHOWING AN ALARM THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD DE-ENERGIZE AND UNLOCK EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS MOVING. THIS PROBLEM WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE EXTERIOR & INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF DRAINING THE BATTERY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY FORD. *TR

SUMMARY: DRIVING AND MESSAGE APPEARS ON DASH CLUSTER TELLING ME THAT MY DRIVER DOOR AJAR AND DOME LIGHT COMES ON AND DOORS WON'T LOCK! CALLED DEALERSHIP AND NO RECALL ISSUED BUT COST OF REPAIR IS A RIDICULOUS $300-$500! APPARENTLY THERE ARE A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THE DEALERSHIP EVEN SAID THAT ITS VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE EDGE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS UNSAFE WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF THE DISTRACTION OF THE "DINGING" SOUND AS WELL AS THE DOME LIGHT WHILE NIGHT DRIVING! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IN MY OPINION BEING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE OBVIOUSLY. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR ALERT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT DOOR IS CLOSED. DOME LIGHT IS ON WHILE DRIVING, AND CHIMES GO OFF. AFTER EVERY STOP, CHIME AND DISPLAY SAYS TO SHIFT TO PARK. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WITH FOB. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR CHIME MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE LIGHTING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN CLEANED THE SENSOR. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 03/10/15*LJ UPDATED 06/17/2015 *JS

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND AS A RESULT WILL NOT LOCK THE DOORS AS NORMAL AND CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON. DOOR AJAR WARNING CONSTANTLY GOES OFF. *TR

THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR LATCH IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT FAILS TO CLOSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN DRIVING BUT THE DOOR WAS SECURED. AS A RESULT, THE INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND A CHIME SOUNDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DOME LIGHT STAYS ON = CREATES NIGHT DRIVING HAZARD. DOME LIGHT ON CREATES SAFETY HAZARD WHEN PARKED IN PUBLIC AREA AT NIGHT. FALSE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM RECOGNIZING A REAL DOOR AJAR SITUATION = SAFETY ISSUE THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK-= SAFETY ISSUE. ISSUE = DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED , INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON ,INABILITY TO LOCK THE DOOR WHILE IN THE VEHICLE , AND FAULTY DOOR LATCH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS A RECALL. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR ALARM COMES ON AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. *TR

DRIVER DOOR LATCH IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO TELL ME THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS CLOSED. HAD BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO GO AWAY BEFORE, BUT NOW IT WON'T GO AWAY. THIS IS CAUSING MY DOME LIGHT TO STAY ON FOR 20 MINUTES AT A TIME AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN LOCK IT IS TO MANUALLY PRESS THE LOCK BUTTON WHILE THE DOOR IS OPEN. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH AND MESSAGE APPEARS ON DASH CLUSTER TELLING ME THAT MY DRIVER DOOR AJAR AND DOME LIGHT COMES ON. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND NO RECALL ISSUED BUT COST OF REPAIR IS A RIDICULOUS $300-$500! APPARENTLY THERE ARE A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THE DEALERSHIP EVEN SAID THAT ITS VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE EDGE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS UNSAFE WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF THE DISTRACTION OF THE "DINGING" SOUND AS WELL AS THE DOME LIGHT WHILE NIGHT DRIVING! THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IN MY OPINION BEING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE OBVIOUSLY. *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALERT WILL NOT GO OFF WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. YOU CAN SLAM THE DOOR AND IT DOES NOT SENSE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THE INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINS ON. WHEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND FORD SHOULD RECALL THE PART AND REPLACE FOR FREE! *TR

STARTED SEEING THE WARNING INFO., THAT THE DRIVER DOOR WAS 'AJAR,' EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CLOSED. THIS WAS INTERMITENT, NOW HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER, BUT OF COURSE, WE ARE OUTSIDE THE 36K WARRANTY. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE $450 TO REPLACE AND APPEARS THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF THEIR VEHICLES, SO PERHAPS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL OR THEY SHOULD EXTEND THE COVERAGE AND REPAIR AT N/C. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON AND DOES NOT GO OFF. DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS TO STAY ON FOR SOME TIME MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE WARNING BELLS TO GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. A LIGHT WILL GO ON TELLING YOU TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. VERY DISTRACTIVE. DOOR LOCKS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS IN ITSELF. DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS A FAULTY DOOR AJAR SENSOR. THEY WANT $500 TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE. SEARCHING THE WEB SHOWS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FORD PRODUCTS THAT THEY ARE QUITE AWARE OF. I FEEL FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY RELATED ISSUES ON THEIR PRODUCTS AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO MAKE THESE CARS SAFE. THANK YOU *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING COMES UP EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED. I HAD THIS "FIXED" AT TEAM FORD IN LAS VEGAS EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND IT IS COMING ON AGAIN. *JS

THE BATTERY WAS GOING DEAD WHEN VEHICLE LEFT OFF AND PARKED OVERNIGHT. THE GEAR SHIFT IS NOT COMMUNICATING THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND THE DISPLAYS WOULD COME ON AND DRAIN THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT. THE ERROR WAS MIS-DIAGNOSED AND A NEW BATTERY WAS PURCHASED. THE ISSUES CONTINUED AND THE DEALERSHIP STATES IT IS THE GEAR SHIFTER WIRING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM, THERE IS NOTHING TO BE DONE IN NORMAL DAILY USE THAT COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL NOT CLEAR. DOOR IS FULLY SHUT, BUT DOOR AJAR ALARM IS ALWAYS ON, INTERIOR LIGHT IS ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. *TR

DOOR AJAR SENSOR WAS BAD ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WOULD STAY ON CONSTANTLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

DOOR SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. "DOOR AJAR" NOTICE CONTINUES TO STAY ON, EVEN THOUGH THE DOORS ARE ALL CLOSED. IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. EVEN THOUGH DOOR APPEARS CLOSED, THE SENSOR INDICATES IT IS NOT CLOSED. THIS RESULTS IN THE DOME LIGHTS BEING ON, EVEN WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. IT ALSO REGULARLY TELLS ME TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, EVEN WHEN DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

BOTH DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER DOORS AJAR SENSORS DO NO WORK PROPERLY. THE DOORS ARE SHUT AND THE VEHICLE SENSORS DO NOT REFLECT THAT. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUOUSLY REPORTS DRIVER'S DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING (CAN'T PREVENT CHILDREN FROM OPENING DOORS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION). ALSO, THIS CAUSES THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO CONTINUOUSLY ASK THE DRIVER TO SHIFT TO PARK WHEN COMING TO A STOP. ALSO, THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTING TO FAIL TO DIM UNTIL THE CAR IS IN FORWARD MOTION. *TR

THE WARNING SIGNAL "SHIFT TO PARK" AND "DRIVERS DOOR AJAR" IS CONSTANTLY ON. IT WAS INTERMITTENT FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS, BUT NOW IT IS CONSTANTLY ON, NO MATTER HOW HARD I SLAM THE DOOR. SO I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WARNING SIGNALS AND BELLS. THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHEN I'M DRIVING. I CANNOT LOCK MY CAR WHEN I LEAVE IT, AS THE LIGHTS INSIDE WILL NOT GO OFF. I THINK FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. *TR

DOOR AJAR INDICATOR DOES NOT GO OFF AFTER PASSENGER DOOR IS CLOSED. CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD BUT OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE. THEREFORE, DEALER CHARGED $430 TO FIX. THANKS AND GOODBYE FORD! *TR

MY DRIVE SIDE DOOR DOES NOT SENSE IT IS CLOSED AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON LONGER. PERIODICALLY BECAUSE THE SWITCH IS SAYING THE DOOR IS OPEN, THE DOME LIGHT, HEADLIGHTS AND REAR LIGHTS WILL GO ON WHEN NOBODY IS IN THE CAR. *TR
