2011 Ford Edge complaints

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING. ELECTRICAL/SENSOR FAULT CAUSING DOORS TO NOT LOCK. RESULTS IN LIGHTS STAYING ON AND DEPLETES THE BATTERY.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS FAULTY AND KEEPS THE DOOR AJAR WARNING ON THE DASH, IT ALSO KEEPS THE DOME LIGHTS ON IN THE CAR WHICH CAN OBSTRUCT SIGHT DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING, IT ALSO RUNS THE BATTERY DOWN CAUSING US TO CONTINUOUSLY START THE CAR OR LET THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DIE, IT ALSO KEEPS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WHICH COULD RESULT IN MY CAR BEING BROKEN INTO. THIS WARNING STAYS ON ALMOST ALWAYS WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR BEING DRIVEN.

DOOR SENSOR, LATCH ISSUES. KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FORD VEHICLES. DOOR AJAR STAYS ON WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY HENCE THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON. MY FORD EDGE WILL NOT LOCK, CAUSING VERY DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN DRIVING OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT IN AN AREA THAT IS UNSAFE. WILL NOT LOCK WHILE PARKED, IN DRIVE (ON HIGHWAY OR ROAD) OR WITH THE IGNITION TURNED OFF. I WAS OVER MY WARRANTY BY 1,000 MILES AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSED TO HELP ME, TOLD ME TO TAKE IT IN AND PAY FOR THE WORK AND SERVICE CALL AND SUBMIT A CLAIM.

DOOR LATCH CENSURE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, IT INDICATES THE DOOR IS OPEN ALL OF THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED ALSO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR SWITCH AND THE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

I OWN A 2011 FORD EDGE. NOT LONG AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT MY FRONT DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON. MY DOOR WAS DEFINITELY CLOSED BUT THE LIGHT REMAINS ON. THIS CAUSES THE DOOR LOCKS TO NOT LOCK THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I PARK THE CAR THE EXTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRRORS DOWN LIGHT STAYS ON, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND SOME DASH LIGHTS. I'VE GONE OUT TO THE GARAGE 4 HOURS AFTER I'VE GOTTEN HOME AND FOUND THEM STILL ON. YES I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AFTER FINDING IT DEAD. NOW THE REAR DRIVERS DOOR IS SHOWING ITS AJAR ON MY DASH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS WITH MY GRANDKIDS IN THE BACK SEAT. I CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS WHEN I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT OR THROUGH SCAREY AREAS.I TRAVEL WITH MY HUSBAND WHO IS HANDICAPPED AND I CAN'T BE SURE THAT MY CAR WILL START WHEN I RETURN TO IT. I SEE MANY STORIES LIKE MY OWN FROM OTHER EDGE OWNERS AND I HOPE THEY TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM. IT'S WIDESPREAD, DANGEROUS AND AN EXPENSIVE FIX.

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ALWAYS SAYS IS AJAR CAUSING MY FIANC TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THE DOME LIGHTS ON. SHE ALREADY HAS TROUBLE SEEING AT NIGHT AND THIS IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE DOOR IS CLEARLY CLOSED. I NOTICED THE DOOR SENSORS ARE BUILT INTO THE LATCH SO I LOOKED UP HOW HARD IT WOULD BE TO CHANGE WITH THE PART O AMAZON AND CAME ACROSS HUNDREDS MAYBE EVEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ALL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS ISN'T A RECALL WITH SO MANY VEHICLES MALFUNCTIONING OVER MANY MANY YEARS! DO THE RIGHT THING! LIVES ARE AT STAKE! IF YOU DO RIGHT BY YOUR CUSTOMERS WE WILL CONTINUE TO BUY YOUR GREAT PRODUCTS! BUT NOT AT THE COST OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THIS CONTINUES. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

IT'S MY 2011 FORD EDGE SEL. THE DRIVER AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME NO MATTER HOW HARD I SLAM THE DOOR. THIS SITUATION IS UNSAFE BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING IT LEAVES ALL THE DOORS UNSECURED. THIS IS NOT RIGHT, ANYONE COULD COME AT THE LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS AND OPEN UP THE VEHICLE. ALSO IT NOT SAFE FOR THE KIDS. THIS IS A BIG SECURITY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR WILL NOT GO OFF AND HAS LED TO THE DOME LIGHT NOT SHUTTING OFF AND WILL KILL THE BATTERY. TAKES 10-15 MINUTES OF OPENING AND SHUTTING BOTH DOORS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IF I DON'T DO THIS I WILL END UP WITH A DEAD BATTERY! USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN I START MY CAR OR GET OUT OF MY CAR. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A COUPLE TIMES WHEN WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR AND DOME LIGHT COME ON. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.

MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A 2011 FORD EDGE ON OCTOBER 28, 2015 WITH PREMIUM CARE EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN. WE ASKED BEFORE WE TOOKED THE PLAN WHAT WAS COVERED. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO US THAT IT WAS COVERED FROM BUMPER TO BUMPER FOR 36,000 MILES OR 36 MONTHS. WE HAVE A ISSUE WITH OUR SUNROOF NOT CLOSING WHEN STATIONARY. YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE BUTTON AND PULL IT SHUT. THEY EXPLAINED TO US THAT THEE WARRANTY COVERS THE MOTOR WHICH THEY HAVE ALREADY REPLACED AND IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT IS THE TRACK AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IS NOT COVERED, I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THE TRACK SHOULD HAVE NOT GONE BAD THAT SOON. THE ONLY THING WE WERE GIVEN SHOWING WHAT THE PREMIUM CARE WARRANTY COVER IS A PARTIAL LIST. WHEN YOU GO TO THE WEBSITE IT STILL ONLY SHOWS YOU PARTIAL LIST LIKE THE BROCHURE.FORD NEEDS TO DO A RECALL OR REPLACE IT.BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS PEOPLE OF THE SAME MODELS OR OLDER OR NEWER MODELS WHERE CAR BUYERS ARE TOLD OR WHEN A QUESTION IS ASKED TO A SALEMAN AND TO THERE BOSSES YOU TAKE THERE WORD FOR IT AND THAT IT IS TRUE BECAUSE THEY ARE TRAINED TO DO THERE JOB AND RESEARCH OF THE FORD VEHICLES AND THE WARRANTY THEY OFFER. WHEN PEOPLE ARE TOLD WRONG THEY DON'T GO BACK OR THEY LOSE CUSTOMERS DO TO NOT BEING DONE RIGHT. ALL WE IS ASKING IS FOR THEM TO STAND UP TO THEIR WORD AND FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE THEIR EMPLOYEES DON'T HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF A PRODUCT OF WHAT THEY ARE SELLING.

DASHBOARD DISPLAYS DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WHEN DOOR IS LOCKED. DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND ALARM SYSTEM CANNOT BE ARMED.

CLOSED DOOR SENSOR FAULTY. CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON, DOORS FAIL TO REMAIN LOCKED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR SWITCH WILL NOT SENSE THE DOOR IS SHUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT AFTER REPEATED SHUTTING. WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE, I CANNOT SEE WHEN IT IS DARK BECAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS BLIND THE DRIVER. I AM FEARFUL I WILL HIT SOMEONE WHILE BACKING UP. WHEN DRIVING FORWARD, THE LIGHTS GO OUT AROUND 15 MPH. THE DOOR AJAR SWITCH IS ON EVERY TIME THE DOOR IS SHUT.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER BEGINNING TO DRIVE. THEY DO STAY ON FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER PARKING. THE CAR ALARM WILL RANDOMLY GO OFF BECAUSE OF THE DOOR AJAR ISSUE.

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I CLOSE THE DOOR IT WILL STAY ON. IT WILL STAY ON WHEN I'M DRIVING AND STATIONARY.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON.

WHEN I GO TO SHUT MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IT TELLS ME THAT'S IT'S NOT SHUT WHEN IT DEFINITELY IS. THIS CAUSES MY INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON. IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES OF OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR FOR IT TO FINALLY REGISTER THAT THE DOOR IS INDEED SHUT. IT DIDN'T START UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT HAPPENED MAYBE ONCE A MONTH BUT RECENTLY IT'S BEEN EVERY TIME I GET INTO THE VEHICLE.

DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. HAVE TO OPEN AND SHUT DOOR MANY TIMES TO GET THE SIGNAL TO GO OFF AND THE DOOR TO LOCK. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO TO FORD THEY DID SOMETHING AND IT WORKED NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN.

DOOR SENSOR FAILS TO REGISTER THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. WON'T ALLOW DOORS TO LOCK WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. SENSOR WILL RANDOMLY FAIL, CAUSING THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON, SOMETIMES DRAINING THE BATTERY. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM, AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. FORD IS UNWILLING TO COVER REPAIR COSTS AND WILL NOT WARRANTY THEIR WORK IF YOU HAVE THEM REPAIR IT.

DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN, WHEN IT IS CLEARLY CLOSED CAUSING THE DORM LIGHT TO STAY ON. THE CAN BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL CLOSE PROPERLY AND LOCK. INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON IN CAR, DRAINING BATTERY. HAD FIXED THREE YEARS AGO AND PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. SHOULD BE RECALLED.

THE SENSOR IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" MESSAGE IS ON ALL THE TIME. THIS ALSO PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING. FORD KNEW OF THIS ISSUE WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND DID NOT REPLACE THE SENSOR. AFTER MINIMAL RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2011/2012 FORD EDGES BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THIS INITIALLY STARTED IN 2014 BUT THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT "SCRAPED THE PLATES" WHICH WORKED FOR ABOUT 9 MONTHS, UNTIL MY VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE 36000 MILE WARRANTY.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WITH ALL DOORS CLOSED. THE DRIVERS DOOR IS THE ONE AFFECTED. THIS TURNS ON THE DOME LIGHT WHICH CAN CAUSE THE BATTERY TO DRAIN LEAVING A PERSON STRANDED. ALSO, IT CAUSES THE BRAKE AND PARKING LIGHTS TO COME ON WITH NO ONE IN THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT ALSO PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHETHER THE CAR IS TURNED ON OR NOT. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH. I HAD FORD REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IN THE PAST. I HAVE IT IN THE FORD DEALER AGAIN TODAY FOR THE SAME REPAIR. I'VE UPLOADED THE RECEIPT FROM FIRST REPAIR. MY CAR IS STILL BEING WORKED ON AT FORD DEALERSHIP AND I DON'T HAVE THE RECEIPT YET FOR THE SECOND REPAIR. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE.

DRIVER DOOR SENSOR SHOWS DOOR OPEN AND IT IS CLOSED. LIGHT STAYS ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED CAUSIN THE ENTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON, POSSIBLY DRAINING THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT

IN FEBRUARY OF 2015 MY FORD EDGE STARTED TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR EVEN WHEN THE DOOR WAS DEFINITELY CLOSED WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO NOT BE ABLE TO LOCK AND STAY LOCKED, AS WELL AS FOR DOME LIGHT STAYING ON. I HAD THE DOOR SHOCKED BY FORD AND IT WORKED FOR LESS THAN A YEAR, ONCE AGAIN THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR IS HAPPENING AND I'M UNABLE TO KEEP MY DOOR LOCKED WHILE IN THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING AND MY DOME LIGHT WILL CONSISTENTLY STAY ON.

CAR STALLED WHEN ENMOTION AT 40 MPH WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON ALSO AWD LIGHT STOP TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART CAR IT RUNS NORMAL AT THAT POINT BUT WILL DO AGAIN UNEXPECTING AT ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE .SPEED IS NO FACTOR AT ANY GIVEN SPEED IT WILL STALL.IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL. THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. WILL NOT GO OFF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU SHUT THE DOOR, THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON, RUNDS THE BATTERY DEAD. I HAVE TRIED EVERY THING INCLUDING WD 40. I BELIEVE IT IS THE SENSOR BUT I AM NOT A MECHANIC SO.... I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT EVERYONE THAT OWNS A FORD EDGE HAS THIS ISSUE. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.MY DRIVER DOOR HAS AT TIMES NOT LATCHED COMPLETELY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. FORD NEEDS TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND RECALL THIS ISSUE FOR EVERY ONE THAT OWNS A FORD EDGE. I HAVE BOUGHT FORDS FOR YEARS. THIS WILL BE MY LAST. THIS ISSUE IS EVERYTIME YOU ENTER THE VEHICLE. STATIONARY, DRIVING, FREEWAY, HIGHWAY, TURNING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NOW. HAS BEEN A CONTINUING PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR SWITCH IS FAILING CAUSING THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED AND THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE VEHICLE'S DOORS WHEN DRIVING OR WHEN PARKING VEHICLE. SEARCH ON INTERNET INDICATES ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD ON THIS VEHICLE LINE WITH REPAIR COSTS IN THE $30-$500 RANGE. VEHICLE HAS 68,000 MILES.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH WILL NOT LATCH PROPERLY CAUSING THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT TO STAY ON. THE DOOR SHUTS AND LOCKS BUT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK ALL THE DOORS BECAUSE IT IS SENSING THAT THE FRONT DOOR IS NOT SHUT. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON CAUSING IT HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUMED TO NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,800.

HAVE STARTED TO RECEIVE "DOOR AJAR WARNING" INDICATION WHEN THE DRIVER DOOR IS CLOSED. HAVE RESEARCHED ON-LINE SITES AND FOUND IT TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL FORD VEHICLE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE'S DOORS WILL REMAIN UNLOCKED UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED. IF I GET THE WARNING TO GO AWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY THE DOORS WILL LOCK AND I CAN BEGIN MY DRIVE. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AS I AM DRIVING THE WARNING WILL RETURN AND THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THIS CAN BE VERY UNNERVING AND FRIGHTENING AT TIMES AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON AS PART OF THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT THE DRIVER'S VISION IS COMPROMISED BY THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DRAWN AWAY FROM THE ROAD. IN ADDITION, THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE'S OCCUPANTS IS COMPROMISED AS THE DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AND A RECALL ISSUED. I HAVE INQUIRED WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE OF $600 FOR THE REPAIR TO BE MADE.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON AND DOME LIGHTS STAY ON. CAR WONT START AT TIMES.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLEARLY CLOSED. THE CAR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED; I PRESS THE DOOR LOCK AND THE DOORS LOCK AND THEN IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK SO I CANNOT HAVE MY CAR DOORS LOCKED WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM; IT IS NOT INTERMITTENT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AT A COST OF $500.00, I HAVE HAD A BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE WHICH HAD TO BE FIXED, AND NOW THIS PROBLEM WHICH I READ IS A COSTLY FIX. THIS IS MY FIRST FORD VEHICLE; WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

THE DOOR AJAR ALARM ON THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS CAUSES THE DOOR LOCK NOT TO ENGAGE AND THE INSIDE LIGHTS TO STAY ON EVEN WHILE DRIVING. I DON'T HAVE A WAY TO LOCK MY DOORS, EVEN MANUALLY.

DOOR AJAR WARNING WHEN DOOR IS SHUT.

TRAVELING AT 55MPH, LOST THRTTLE CONTROL, YELLOW WRENCH ICON APPEARED. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. TURNED OFF ENGINE, AND RESARTED. EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL ON WAY BACK HOME. CAR STILL PARKED, HAVEN'T BEEN TO DEALER SHOP YET.

DRIVERS DOOR LATCH SWITCH. CANNOT LOCK DOORS OR DOME LIGHT ALWAYS STAYS ON.

DRIVING TO WORK ABOUT TEN MILES OF HIGHWAY, MY CAR STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND SHAKING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT THEN MY HEATER STOPPED WORKING A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON "ENGINE COOLANT TEMP" THEN IT DIED COMPLETELY IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, I SAW SOME SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD SO I CALLED FOR HELP. THERE WAS NO OTHER WARNING WHATSOEVER! THE MECHANIC TOLD US THAT THE WATER PUMP HAD GONE OUT AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO OVER HEAT. IT SHOT COOLANT INTO THE ENGINE AND IT WAS TOTALED. AGAIN THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING AT ALL. NO SENSORS NO ANYTHING. I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES ETC. AND IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY WARNING LIGHT I WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED WITH 20K MILEAGE USED. LIGHTS STAY ON FOR 5 MINUTES, AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK DOORS IN BAD NEIGHBORHOODS. I HAVE REPLACED 2 BATTERYS ALREADY , AND NOW HAVE 45K ON ODOMETER.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH HAS FAILED. WHEN IT FAILS YOU CAN'T ALWAYS LOCK DOORS AND LIGHT WILL STAY ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO STAY ACTIVE EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF CAUSING THE BATTERY TO BE DRAINED. THIS RECENTLY KILLED OUR BATTERY. IT APPEARS AS IF FORD HAS NO FIX FOR THIS AS MANY HAVE SEEN THIS FAILURE TO RECUR EVERY 35K OR SO, GUESS IT DEPENDS ON HOW OFTEN YOU OPEN/CLOSE THE DOOR TO WEAR OUT THE SWITCH. POOR DESIGN.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MPH, THE AWD OFF LIGHT APPEARED, THAN A WRENCH APPEARED. I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AND COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED MY CAR OFF. I RESTARTED MY CAR AND CONTINUED DRIVING. I AM GLAD I WASN'T ON A BUSINESS ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. I HOPE SOMEBODY DOESN'T HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE.

WITHOUT ANY FOREWARNING, WE WERE DRIVING ALONG AND HEARD AND FELT SEVERAL LOUD POPS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN WE STOPPED, WE FOUND A BROKEN WINDSHIELD, THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL/TIRE HAD COLLAPSED INTO THE WHEEL WELL, AND THE ENGINE HOOD WAS PUSHED UP ROUGHLY 6" ABOVE WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. UPON INITIAL INSPECTION, WE NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE STRUT TOWER, WHICH IS OF A RIDICULOUSLY WEAK 2-PIECE DESIGN, THE 2 PIECES HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM EACH OTHER. NO POTHOLES OR OTHER ROAD HAZARDS WERE HIT, WE WERE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE APPROXIMATE 9 SPOT WELDS HOLDING THE TWO PIECES OF THE STRUT TOWER TOGETHER COMPLETELY SEPARATED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY 2 SEPARATE SHOPS, BOTH CLAIMED THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY NO DAMAGE TO ANY OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS, INCLUDING CONTROL ARMS, BALL JOINTS, SWAY BAR, SWAY BAR END LINKS, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD'VE CAUSED THE STRUT TOWER TO BREAK IN SUCH A FASHION. SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF THIS HAVE BEEN REPORTED ONLINE AND REFERENCES CAN BE SHARED UPON REQUEST.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR INDICATOR COMES ON AS SOON AS CAR IS RUNNINGSHOWING DRIVERS DOOR AJAR. ALSO DOOR LOCK WON'T ENGAGE WHILE THIS INDICATOR IS ON. I HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE DOOR REPEATEDLY UNTIL INDICATOR TURNS OFF AND DOORS LOCK.

CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN DRIVER DOOR IS CLOSED , EVEN WHEN CLOSED IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN.
