2011 Ford Edge complaints

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 LIGHT STAYS ON AND LOCKS TO DO NOT LOCK CAN'T BACK UP BECAUSE LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN ITS DARK AND I CANNOT SEE.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS STATING DOOR AJAR AT ALL TIMES

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

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED PERMANENTLY WHENEVER EITHER REAR DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS DO NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ILLUMINATED. FORD CHARGES OVER $400 FOR EACH DOOR TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD A RECALL!

IN THE SPRING OF 2016 MY 2011 EDGE STARTED TO GIVE ME A DOOR AJAR WARNING WHEN THE DRIVER DOOR WAS ACTUALLY CLOSED. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE LOCK AT A COST OF OVER $700. I FELT THAT WAS TO MUCH AND DECIDED TO DRIVE WITHOUT FIXING IT. IT IS REALLY HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT WHEN THE LIGHT STAYS ON. AND WHEN I TRY TO LOCK THE DOORS WITH THE INSIDE BUTTON THEY LOCK POPS BACK OPEN.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ON DASH AFTER CLOSING DOORS REPEATEDLY. DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DRAIN BATTERY LFE.

"DOOR AJAR" LIGHT REMAINS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THIS CAUSES CAR DOORS TO STAY UNLOCKED, DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON, DRAINING MY BATTERY, UNABLE TO USE THE AUTO CAR START. DANGEROUS FOR MY SMALL CHILDREN WHO CAN NOW OPEN THE DOOR WHILE I AM DRIVING

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

DRIVER DOOR CLOSE SENSOR MALFUNCTION. DOOR SENSOR HAS DOOR OPEN WARNING LIGHT WHEN DOOR CLOSED. DOOR SENSOR CAN FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND UNLOCK DOORS. OPEN DOOR SENSOR KEEPS INTERIOR LOP IGNITE ON AND DRAINS BATTERY. DOOR SENSOR KEEPS INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AND/OR TURNS LIGHTS ON WHEN IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE RIMS FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE RIM. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE REAR PASSENGER RIM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

THE 2 FRONT DOOR SWITCHES WORK SOMETIMES. WHEN PARKED THE CAR THINKS THE DOORS ARE OPEN AND KEEPS THE LIGHTS ON. SOMETIMES FOR NO REASON THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TURN ON AND IT DRAINS THE BATTERY. PLUS WHEN THE SWITCHES ARE NOT WORKING THE CAR DOES NOT THINK THAT IT IS LOCKED AND WILL BEEP TWICE WHEN LOCKING THE CAR. WHEN THE SWITCHES HAVE FAILED THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WILL JUST COME ON WHEN IN A STORE AND THE BATTERY WILL DRAIN DOWN TO WHERE THE CAR WILL NOT START.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ON BUT DOOR ISN'T NOT AJAR. THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON DUE TO THE WARNING AND MAKES IT HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.

DOOR AJAR LIGHTS FOR BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS STAY ON EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CLOSED. RESULT IS THAT THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AND UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CLOSED. HAS CAUSED A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY, DEALER WANTS A LARGE SUM OF MONEY TO REPLACE THE LATCH EVEN THOUGH IT'S CLEARLY A SENSOR ONLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. IN ADDITION, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING FAILED TO SHUT OFF AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

PASSENGER DOOR AJAR WARNING BEGAN TO COME ON IN OCTOBER 2015, EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS SHUT. THIS HAS RESULTED IN THE DOME LIGHTS STAYING ON WHEN I BEGIN TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT, AS IT HAS A VERY NEGATIVE IMPACT ON MY VISION UNTIL THE DOME LIGHTS GO OFF. WHEN I PARK THE CAR, SHUT IT OFF, AND CLOSE ALL DOORS, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A DRAINING OF MY BATTERY. I HAVE HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY ON MANY OCCASIONS (6 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK). THIS ISSUE IS FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ME HAVING TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY YESTERDAY, WHICH COST NEARLY $200 INSTALLED. THE BATTERY DRAINING BECAUSE OF THIS MATTER COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE DEPENDING ON WHERE I WAS AND WHO WAS AROUND WHEN I NEEDED A JUMP. FINALLY, THE PASSENGER DOOR AJAR INDICATOR MALFUNCTION PROHIBITS ME FROM LOCKING MY DOORS WHEN I AM DRIVING. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TO TRAVEL THREE TIMES A WEEK INTO A CITY WITH HIGH CRIME AND I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS!! I HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR LEFT DOOR AJAR INDICATOR, ALTHOUGH TO A LESSER EXTENT. FORD IS AWARE THAT THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM HERE AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES IN THE INTEREST OF THE SAFETY OF THE OWNERS. IT SEEMS TO BE THEY COULD BE LIABLE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT DUE TO DOME LIGHTS BLINDING A DRIVER AT NIGHT OR IF THERE WAS THEFT OR INJURY RESULTING FROM DOORS NOT BEING ABLE TO BE LOCKED WHEN DRIVING. THE REPAIR IS QUITE EXPENS

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.

INTERNAL WATER PUMP WENT OUT. NO SENSOR SAYING ITS BAD. WHEN IT OCCURS THE FLUID DROPS IN TO OIL PAN, SUCKS IN TO ENGINE AND DESTROYS THE ENGINE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND CAR DIED IN A MINUTE.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR FAILED CAUSING BATTERY TO DIE. HAD TO BUY NEW BATTERY AND PAY $500+ TO REPLACE DOOR AJAR SENSOR. THE FED OPENED AN INVESTIGATION ON OCTOBER 3, 2016 TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS WIDESPREAD ISSUE.

THE SENSOR IN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WARNS ME THAT MY DOOR IS "AJAR" WHEN ALL DOORS ARE SHUT. WHEN THIS WARNING IS ON, I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK ANY DOORS IN MY VEHICLE (NEITHER IN MOTION NOR PARKED) AND I OFTEN TRAVEL WITH TODDLERS. THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ALSO ILLUMINATED SO IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT.

COMING TO A STOP, PUTTING VEHICLE IN PARK, WARNING TO PUT VEHICLE IN PARK EVEN THOUGH ITS ALREADY IN PARK. IT ALSO HAS THE DOOR AJAR PROBLEM I TEMPORARILY FIX WITH SPRAY LUBE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CAUSED THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR TO ILLUMINATE, ALTHOUGH THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. IN ADDITION, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCH ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000.

THE LATCH DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND CANNOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS RESULTS IN ME BEING UNABLE TO LOCK MY DOOR AND IT LEAVES THE DOME LIGHTS ON UNTIL IT TIMES OUT.

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

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INSTRUMENT PANEL EVEN AFTER DOOR IS SHUT FIRMLY. MUST OPEN AND SHUT DOOR SEVERAL TIMES TO CLEAR THIS WARNING. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY ON 12/20/2012. PROBLEM HAS RETURNED THIS PAST WEEK OF SINCE 10/19/2016. ORIGINAL OWNER OF VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCH ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

DONE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF. DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR SHOES TO BE OPEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED.

THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR SENSOR IS BAD, WHICH KEEPS THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON AT ALL TIMES, AND KEEPS THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS ON FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY AND IS ALSO DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. HAD THE DEALER "FIX" THE ISSUE BY DOING A CLEANING/CYCLING ON THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE LATCH, BUT IT ONLY LASTED A FEW MONTHS AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK. FORD DOES NOT SEEM WILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AS A SAFETY CONCERN - UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH OVERHEAD LIGHTS ON, AND IT DRAINS THE BATTERY, WHICH HAS CAUSED OTHER ISSUES FOR ME, INCLUDING HAVING TO REPLACE THE BATTERY WELL AHEAD OF ITS INTENDED USEFUL LIFE. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR INDICATOR CAME ON AND AT FIRST IT WOULD TAKE ME A FEW TIMES SHUTTING THE DOOR FOR IT COME OFF. NOW ITS TO THE POINT WHERE IT DOES NOT TURN OFF AND KEEPS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON UNTIL I DRIVE FORWARD A BIT, THEN TURN OFF. THAT'S NOT GOOD AT NIGHT FOR SURE. NOW WHEN MY CAR IS LOCKED THE PANIC ALARM GOES OFF ALL TIMES OF THE DAY AND NIGHT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY (THANK GOODNESS) ONE NIGHT AND THE LIGHTS TURNED ON AND THE CAR STARTED DINGING FOR THE DOOR. WHY IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT RECALLED??? IT IS DANGEROUS FOR THE LIGHT TO STAY ON AT NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY IF MY DOOR REALLY ISN'T LATCHED. I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY SOMETHING OUT OF POCKET THAT I DIDN'T BREAK OR HAVE CONTROL OVER BREAKING. PLEASE HELP FIX THIS........ *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

I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT BACK IN 2014 CONCERNING THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SWITCH. THIS WEEK I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND WAS ELATED ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE RECALL WAS MY FORD FOCUS AND FORD FUSION NOT THE FORD EDGE! THE FOCUS AND FUSION ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME SWITCH THAT THE DEALER CHARGED ME $389.24 TO FIX IN MY FORD EDGE.

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 DOOR LATCH SENSOR IN THE DRIVERS DOOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. SHOWS A DOOR AJAR WARNING ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHEN DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED TIGHT. THIS WARNING INDICATION PREVENT THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WHEN DRIVING. BIG SAFETY ISSUE! IT ALSO CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHT TO STAY ON, AND NIGHT TIME DRIVING WITH THAT INTERIOR LIGHT GLARE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DOME LIGHTS HAVE ALSO STAYED ON WHEN PARKED, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO GO DEAD. THIS ISSUE FIRST WAS NOTICED 7/10/16 AND CONTINUES INTERMITTENTLY EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V516000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND A LOUD SOUND WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

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.

WHEN DRIVING CAR AT ANY SPEED,ENGINE SUDDENLY LOSES ALL POWER,ORANGE WRENCH COMES ON DASH,THERE IS NO WAY TO KEEP CAR MOVING.DRIVER MUST REALIZE WHAT JUST HAPPENED AND TRY TO NAVIGATE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP IN ASAFE SPOT.ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY WIFE WAS NEARLY RAMMED OFF THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON 295 IN SOUTH JERSEY,THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR ALL CARS NEARBY BECAUSE IT COMES WITH NO WARNING AND NO OUTWARD SIGN OF A PROBLEM.COMPOUNDING THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK FOR IT TO RESTART, NEUTRAL WONT DO ANYTHING,FORD HAS RECALLED OVER A MILLION CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM,PLEASE DO WHTEVER YOU CAN TO SPEED UP THIS RECALL BEFORE THE DEATHTOLL STARTS TO CLIMB,

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.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED...THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DOES NOT TURN OFF UNTIL VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE AND HAS MOVED MORE THAN ABOUT 250 FEET. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT TIME ESPECIALLY WHEN A LIT DOME LIGHT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WEEKEND THE BATTERY DIED AS A DIRECT CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE! FORD JUST ISSUED A RECALL FOR 1.5 MILLION DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AND THIS YEAR NEEDS TO BE ADDED ASAP. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING OUT OF POCKET THAT THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR...PLEASE HELP!

2011 FORD EDGE LOST ALL POWER FROM THE THROTTLE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, HAD A YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT, NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AND ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE. SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WAITED ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND RESTARTED EVERYTHING WAS RUNNING FINE. DROVE THE EDGE ABOUT 10 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE TO MY EXIT, AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND READY TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE HIGHWAY I HIT THE GAS AND GOT OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION AND THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND LOST ALL POWER LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC COMING BOTH WAYS. AFTER TRAFFIC STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY MOVE TO THE SHOULDER I SHUT THE CAR DOWN AGAIN AND CALLED A FRIEND TO COME HELP ME. AFTER SITTING FOR 10-20 MINUTES, MY FRIEND SHOWED UP AND THE EDGE RESTARTS AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THANKFUL MY PARENTS WEREN'T DRIVING OR CHILDREN WEREN'T IN THE CAR AND NO ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS TO BLAME AND ALL THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE EDGE, MUSTANG, FLEX, EXPLORER AND LINCOLN MKX. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND DANGEROUS! GREAT VEHICLE BUT POOR QUALITY OF ELECTRONIC PARTS I HOPE AND PRAY THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO SOMEONE WHO PANICS WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. VEHICLE WILL NOT BE DROVE UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS FIXED. DATE OF INCIDENT OCTOBER 9TH, 2015 APPROXIMATELY 7:45 AND 8:00-8:15. MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 105,XXX.

DOOR AJAR ALERT STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED WHICH KEEPS YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO LOCK YOUR DOORS WHILE IN THE VEHICLE. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON, WHICH ILLUMINATES YOU AND THE COCKPIT. WITH ALERT IN THE ON POSITION, YOU ARE NOT ALERTED TO OTHER DOORS WHICH MAY BE AJAR. FAULTY LATCH.

THE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SLOWLY BEGAN FAILING. AT ROUGHLY 35K MILES, THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING WOULD APPEAR ON MY VEHICLE DISPLAY. I WOULD RECLOSE THE DOOR AND THE WARNING WOULD GO AWAY. IT RANDOMLY CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AND RESOLVE ITSELF WHILE STATIONARY OR WHILE RUNNING, UNTIL ABOUT 95K MILES ( 8 MO AGO). THERE WERE ELECTRONIC SPRAYS YOU COULD SPRAY INTO THE LATCH MECHANISM THAT WOULD MAKE THE WARNING GO AWAY FOR A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME. EVENTUALLY THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL MECHANISM FAILED. I COULD NOT LOCK MY DOORS WITH THE IGNITION ON AND EVENTUALLY JUST LEARNED TO 'APPROVE/OK' THE WARNING EVERY TIME THE IGNITION WAS ON. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WERE SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING WITH AN SEMI-LATCHED/OPEN DOOR. I DIDN'T KNOW BECAUSE I 'OK'D THE 'DOOR AJAR' WARNING LIKE NORMAL. THE ONLY WAY I WOULD KNOW SOMETHING WAS DIFFEENT, WOULD BE WHEN I DROVE AT A HIGH ENOUGH RATE OF SPEED TO NOTICE THE INCREASED ROAD NOISE FROM MY SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT NEWER VEHICLES AUTOMATICALLY LOCK ONCE UNDER WAY TO DISENGAGE THE DOOR OPENING MECHANISM IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THAT MIGHT OPEN THE DOOR- CLEARLY THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH THE FAILED DOOR LATCH. THE ONLY WORK AROUND THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED IS TO REMOVE A FUSE WHICH REMOVES THE INTERIOR LIGHTING AND PREVENTS THE BATTERY FROM DRAINING. I STILL HAVE TO 'OK" THE 'DOOR AJAR' WARNING THOUGH. AS FOR LOCKING THE VEHICLE FOR SAFETY IN AN ACCIDENT, IF YOU LOCK THE VEHICLE FIRST THEN TURN

THE DOOR ADJAR LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY HAS BEEN CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT CAR IN 2012. FIRST TIME WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAIID THEY FIXED IT. HOWEVER WITHIN WEEKS OF WARRANTY EXPIRING THE SAME PROBLEM ON SAME DOOR HAPPENED AND HAS BEEN CONSTANT SINCE THEN.

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.

THE DOME LIGHTS COME ON WHEN I GET IN MY CAR (OR SOMETIMES WHEN IT'S JUST SITTING IN THE GARAGE) AND THEY STAY ON BECAUSE IT SAYS THAT A DOOR IS AJAR BUT IT'S NOT. INITIALLY I HAD 2 DOORS REPLACED PER ADVICE OF MY FORD DEALER BUT IT DIDN'T LAST LONG BEFORE THE LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE MESSAGE CAME BACK. AT NIGHT IT IS ESPECIALLY UNSAFE BECAUSE OF THE GLARE. THE LIGHT EVENTUALLY FADES AS I PICK UP SPEED, BUT UNTIL THEN IT IS DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE AND RECHARGE MY BATTERY AND I KNOW IT'S BECAUSE WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR, THE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES BEFORE IT GOES OFF AND SOMETIMES I COME OUT AND SEE THAT THE LIGHT IS ON IN THE CAR FOR NO REASON. AS A RESULT OF THE CAR THINKING THE DOORS ARE OPEN, I CANNOT LOCK THE DOORS, THEY JUST POP BACK UP. VERY UNSAFE FOR A WOMAN DRIVING AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY. I HAVE PUT UP WITH THIS FOR 5 YEARS AND DIDN'T REALIZE I COULD REPORT IT HERE. I DEFINITELY ASKED THE DEALER TO REPORT IT. IT HAPPENED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I GOT IT, BECAUSE BOTH DOORS WERE UNDER WARRANTLY AND AFTER THAT, I REFUSED TO REPLACE DOORS.

PASSANGER DOOR LATCH FAILS, DOOR COMES OPEN. INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF AND LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK BECAUSE OF FAILING DOOR LATCH

INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON AFTER DOOR CLOSED, DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON ON DASH. DOOR LOCKS WANT LOCK OR UNLOCK AT TIMES.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. SOMETIMES TURNS OFF. ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY BECAUSE OF THIS, DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHILE CAR IS MOVING, DOME LIGHTS STAY ON

THE 'DOOR AJAR' LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STAYS ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN ALL DOORS ARE PROPERLY LATCHED. THIS MALFUNCTION DISABLES THE AUTOMATIC LOCKING FEATURE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN THE DRIVE POSITION. IT ALSO CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND HAS CAUSED MY BATTERY TO BE DRAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO WHERE I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE JUMP STARTED. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WHICH POSES A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME IN DARK PARKING LOTS ETC.

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.
