2012 Ford Edge complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR ILLUMINATED ERRONEOUSLY, INDICATING THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, AN AUDIBLE ALARM WOULD ACTIVATE AND A WARNING MESSAGE TO PARK THE VEHICLE WOULD DISPLAY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,700.

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MILES AN HOUR ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, STEER AND BREAK. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO LIMP OFF THE SHOULDER WHERE I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND IT IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. TRAFFIC WAS SLOW SO NO INJURY WAS CAUSED BUT NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. MY LOCAL FORD DEALER IS TRYING TO TELL ME THAT IT IS A POWER STEERING PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT EVEN LISTEN TO THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DETILS OF THE REPAIRS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER DOOR HAS SHUT AND BEEN SLAMMED. THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE SLOWLY MOVING, EVENTUALLY THE INSIDE LIGHT TURNS OFF BUT WHEN YOU STOP, THE CAR STARTS DINGING AND READS "PUT VEHICLE IN PARK" I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN LEAVING A DRIVEWAY OR PARKING LOT AT NIGHT, YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING AROUND YOU OUTSIDE BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINING ON UNTIL YOU REACH A SPEED OF AROUND 10-15 MPH. I'M WORRIED THAT I MAY STRIKE AN OBJECT OR PERSON BECAUSE OF VISIBILITY ISSUES.

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. AT NIGHT, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR 30 SECONDS- REDUCING VISIBILITY. WHEN DRIVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC OR AFTER MOVING FROM A STOP, VEHICLE BEEPS AND SAYS TO SHIFT INTO PARK, AND THEN VANISHES. DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING! MILEAGE AT 66K.

I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE FAR LEFT LANE WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM. A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IMMEDIATELY SLOWED TO ABOUT 1 MPH. I HAD TO CROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP SAFELY IN THE RIGHT MEDIAN. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. READING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. BEING THAT THE CAR STOPS IMMEDIATELY AND NOT TO A GRADUAL STOP THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN OF BEING HIT BY OTHER DRIVERS WHILE TRYING TO GET TO SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE IN PARK, THE DOORS FAILED TO LOCK ELECTRONICALLY FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED INTO A PARKING LOT. THE NEXT DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY WERE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT WONT GO OFF NO MATTER WHAT I DO TO IT. CAUSING THE DOME LIGHT TO STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS AT ALL. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO TRY CLEANING IT WITH SOME WD 40 AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL RUN SOME TESTS ON IT WHICH WOULD COST ME OVER 300 BUCKS AND THEN THEY WOULD GO AHEAD AND CHANGE THE DOOR LATCH WHICH WOULD COST ME ANOTHER 200 DOLLARS OR SO AND COULDN'T GUARANTEE THAT THE PROBLEM WOULDN'T COME BACK. A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SAYS ITS AJAR MOST OF THE TIME THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR STAY ON AND THE OTHER DOORS WONT LOCK WHILE IN MOTION. SOMETIME THE CAR SAYS TO STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT THE DOOR BUT IT IS SHUT. I HAVE SEEN THIS PLASTERED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AS I GOOGLED WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. ALL THESE NEWER CARS WITH SUCH ISSUES WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS IS SCARY

THE DRIVERS DOOR CLOSURE SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER THE DOOR BEING CLOSED.THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS THE DASH WARNING SYSTEM INDICATES A WARNING TO PULL OVER AND CLOSE THE DOOR. SOMETIMES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT DOES NOT SHUTOFF AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED.

HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH BOTH THE DRIVER DOOR AND REAR PASSENGER (DRIVERS SIDE) LATCH OR SENSOR IMPROPERLY WORKING. BOTH DOOR LATCHES AND OR SENSORS MALFUNCTIONS MAKE THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STAY LIT, AND MAKES THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS STAY ON. THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYING ON MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DOORS ONLY LOCKED MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

2012 FORD EDGE DOOR LATCH, FORD EDGE DOOR AJAR ALERT/NOTIFICATION - FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS THE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM THINKS A DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IN FACT IT IS NOT. THERE ARE DOZENS OF FORUMS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND THAT DIRECT PEOPLE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THIS WEBSITE; AS MOST BELIEVE FORD SHOULD RECALL SAID VEHICLES TO CORRECT THE MANUFACTURING ERROR THAT IS SO BLATANTLY APPARENT. WE HAVE SINCE BOUGHT THE LATCH AND REPAIRED IT. THE PART COST US $101.15. WE FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS. I LOVED MY VEHICLE BUT HAVE REALLY GOTTEN DISAPPOINTED IN IT AND FORD AS A WHOLE.

IT STARTED IN MAY 2015 WHEN YOU CLOSE THE DRIVER DOOR, THE SCREEN WILL ALWAYS DISPLAY "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" AND SHOWING THE CAR ICON SHOWING THE DRIVER DOOR OPEN, AND ALL DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK WHETHER AT FULL STOP OR WHEN MOVING. THE DASHBOARD SCREEN WILL DISPLAY ALSO "SHIFT TO PARK" INTERCHANGEABLY WITH "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL KEEP ON FOR ABOUT 30 MINS WHEN IN MOTION AND WHEN THE CAR ENGINE IS ALREADY OFF.

THE DOOR AJAR DOES NOT SHUT OFF.NO MATTER HOW I CLOSE THE DOOR.AT ALL STOP SIGNS RED LIGHTS IT CONTINUES TO TELL ME TO SHIFT TO PARK BECAUSE OF "DOOR AJAR".THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF BECAUSE OF THE "DOOR AJAR".I CANT SEE OUT MY REAR VIEW MIRROR BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT.IM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR I NEVER KNOW IF IM GOING TO FALL OUT WHILE DRIVING DUE TO "DOOR AJAR".I BROUGHT IT IN TO FORD FOR REPAIR LATER FOUND OUT THEY JUST "CLEANED THE WIRING".9 MONTHS LATER PROBLEM IS BACK AND EVEN WORSE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

BRAKE PEDAL HARD WHEN PUSHED. MAKES WHOOSHING SOUND WHEN HELD TO FLOOR. BRAKES WILL GRAB WHEN PUSHED HARD. HAVE NOTICED BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD TO PUSH WHEN IN REVERSE. IT IS HARD TO STOP VEHICLE WHEN BACKING UP. AT TIMES AFTER HAVING CRUISE CONTROL SET, BRAKES DO NOT WANT TO WORK AT ALL.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT CAUSING MY CAR BATTERY TO DIE FROM THE DOME LIGHTS ALWAYS BEING ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT DUE TO THE FAILURE THE DOOR WAS UNABLE TO BE LOCKED FROM THE INSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR LIGHT IS FAULTY. THE SENSOR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF AND THEREFOR THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK AND THE DOME LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AS SOON AS I TOLD HIM THE PROBLEM HE TOLD ME WHAT KIND OF CAR I WAS DRIVING. THIS TELLS ME THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL AS THOUGH THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE IS SOME DANGER THAT THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK.

KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGE BASED ON NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR GOES OFF CRIPPLING DOOR LOCK MECHANISM. NOT ONLY DO LIGHTS STAY ON DRAINING BATTERY BUT UNABLE TO LOCK DOOR PRESENTS SAFETY PROBLEM. FORD HAS A TSB FOR ELECTRICAL CLEANING BUT THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE OVER TIME. PROBLEMS REPEATS ITSELF WITH ONLY KNOWN FIX TO BE DOOR LATCH REPLACEMENT.

DOOR AJAR AND LATCH ISSUE *DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSE *INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYS ON *INABILITY TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN VEHICLE *FAULTY LATCH THESE SAFETY ISSUES ARE ALL ONE ISSUE THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES AND ARE ALL ONE ISSUE. THE DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON AND CREATES A NIGHT DRIVING HAZARD. THE DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON AND CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN SITTING IN A PUBLIC AREA AT NIGHT. THE FALSE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL PREVENTS THE DRIVER FROM RECOGNIZING A REAL DOOR AJAR SITUATION VERY DANGEROUS. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE WARNING LIGHTS OF PARKING COMES UP

WHENEVER I ENTRY THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DRIVERS DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. IF I DON'T CONTINUE TO CLOSE THE DOOR (AT LEAST 4 TIMES) THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. THE CAR TELLS ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. WHEN I LOCK IT WITH THE REMOTE, IT WILL BEEP TWICE INSTEAD OF ONCE, A WARNING THAT THE CAR IS NOT SECURE. I CAN NO LONGER LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DRIVERS SIDE BY USING MY HAND IF THE KEY IS ON MY PERSON. I CAN DO THAT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY ALARM GOES OFF AS MY CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY. I HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. IT IS A FAULTY DRIVER DOOR SWITCH. SPEAKING WITH FORD DIRECTLY AND THE DEALER, I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS OCCURRING BECAUSE THE SWITCH IS FAULTY. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS EXPENSIVE FORD NEW AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT SERVICED AT THE DEALERS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD DOES NOT SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM AND ACTIVE A RECALL. THANK YOU.

DOOR SENSOR DOES NOT ALLOW DOOR TO LOCK. DASH INDICATES DOOR IS NOT CLOSED AND TELLS YOU TO PUT VEHICAL IN PARK. PROBLEM CONTINUES TO COME BACK. DEALER HAS HAD IT 5 TIMES. THEY WILL NOT REPLACE SENSOR.... JUST CLEAN IT. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAYED "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WHEN THE DOOR WAS DEFINATLY SHUT AND LOCKED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THIS ALARM WENT AWAY AND IT RETURNED A FEW DAYS LATER ON MY WAY TO THE STORE. THE FREQUENCY OF THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN INCREASING AND NOW MY CAR ALARM SOUNDS OFF SEEMINGLY AT WILL, MID-DAY OR MIDNIGHT BECAUSE THE COMPUTER THINKS SOMEONE OPENED THE DOOR WITHOUT THE KEY. LAST NIGHT IT WAS GOING OFF AT 4AM. I AM CONCERNED THAT INTERELATED SAFETY EQUIPMENT MIGHT NOT FUNCTION BECAUSE THE COMPUTER THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. THIS PROBLEM ALSO PREVENTS THE AUTO-LOCK FUNCTION FROM WORKING, SO SOMEONE COULD OPEN MY DOOR AT A REDLIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC. THE REPAIR BILL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS JUST OVER FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. THIS IS CLEARLY AN EXAMPLE OF INFERIOR PARTS COSTING THE DEFENSELESS CONSUMER MONEY AND FORD MOTOR CO. REPEAT CUSTOMERS. IF YOU DO AN ONLINE SEARCH, YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

AS IS COMMON WITH THE FORD EDGE, THE DOOR AJAR ISSUE APPEARED ON MY CAR ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE DASHBOARD INDICATES THE DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN EVEN WHEN CLOSED. THIS IS A BIG HEADACHE AS THE ALARM GOES OFF EVERY TIME YOUR FOOT COMES OFF THE BREAK AFTER A STOP. THE KEYLESS DOOR LOCKS ALSO DO NOT FUNCTION WITH AN "OPEN" DOOR. BEYOND THE HEADACHE, YOU HAVE THE SAFETY ISSUES. IF THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN, THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT ENGAGE. ADDITIONALLY, IN THE EVENINGS THE DOME LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON BECAUSE IT THINKS YOU ARE IN THE CAR WITH THE DOOR OPEN. THIS COULD EASILY LEAVE YOU STRANDED WITH A DEAD BATTERY. I ENDED UP TAKING IT INTO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS CHARGED $560 TO REPLACE THE LATCH.

WHEN DRIVING MY EDGE THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS OF UPSTATE NEW YORK, I WENT TO SLOW DOWN GOING DOWN A MOUNTAINOUS ROAD. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT VERY HARD TO PUSH, AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO SLOW DOWN PROPERLY. ALSO NOTICED A HISSING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED. CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE EXIT AND NOTICED THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS 1/2 EMPTY. PURCHASED NEW FLUID AND INSTALLED THE NEEDED AMOUNT IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE REMAINDER OF THE 1400 MILE TRIP THE MASTER CYLINDER DID NOT SHOW ANY LOSS OF FLUID, BUT THE BRAKES ARE STILL NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. GOT HOME AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL LINCOLN/ FORD DEALERSHIP, AS I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER UNDER THE EXTENDED BRAKE WARRANTY, AND SAID THE VEHICLE WAS READY TO GO. I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE BRAKES STILL NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONING. STILL VERY LOW BRAKE PEDAL, AND SOFT ALSO WHILE STOPPED AT LIGHT THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AREA. AND THEY TEST DROVE THE CAR THEY SAID. IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK TO DEALER AND LEFT THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID THEY WILL ASK FORD IF THEY WILL APPROVE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FOR REPLACEMENT. VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER AS OF TODAY AUGUST 4, 2015. VEHICLE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, COLLISION IS A VERY HIGH RISK WITH THE VEHICLE AS IT NOW IS. LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER AS STATED BEFORE AND WILL NOT PICKUP THE VEHICLE UNTIL PROPERLY REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. LOOSING FAITH IN FORD AT THIS TIME, WHAT OTHER ISSUES WILL OCCUR IN THE FUTURE

MY 2012 FORD EDGE WILL NOT CLEAR THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING. I SLAM THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES AND THE WARNING WILL NOT DISAPPEAR! IT KEEPS MY DOOMS LIGHT ON ALSO. IT HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR A COUPLE MONTHS NOW AND WILL NOT STOP. IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING HITTING THE BREAK, THE PEDAL FEELS HARD AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. IT JUST KEEPS MOVING FOREWORD. I HAVE TO PUSH HARDER ON THE BREAK PEDAL TO GET THE BREAKS TO CATCH AND STOP THE VEHICLE . I'M THINKING CHECK VALVE OR BOOSTER.

[XXX] WITHOUT INJURY OR CHANGE BY US TO THE CAR, THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING BEGAN SHOWING UP IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED. THE WARNING IS ON THE PANEL, THE WARNING BEEP IS SOUNDING, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINS ON UNTIL YOU DRIVE FORWARD ABOUT 30 FEET. THIS MAKES BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES, DRIVEWAYS, ETC DIFFICULT BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING BECAUSE OF THE BRIGHT LIGHT.

6-2-2015: I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN. I STEPPED ON BRAKES AND WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. I WENT THRU THE STOP SIGN ON MAJOR ROADWAY AT 30 MPH. I WAS HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC TRAVELING AT 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND 3 PEOPLE, MYSELF INCLUDED, WERE INJURED. I OWNED THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 MONTHS. MY FIRST FORD IN YEARS. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT A BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLE. FORD'S FIX IS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE EDGE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SALVAGED. I TALKED WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS TOO BAD FOR YOU. I WANTED THE BRAKE BOOSTER CHECKED OUT. FORD SHOULD BE RECALLING ALL THE EFFECTED VEHICLES NOW, BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED. THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 50 COMPLAINTS FILED WITH NHTSA SINCE 2012.

INTERMITTENT, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON-WHEN THE DOOR IS REALLY CLOSED-IT MAKES THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS REFERRING THE PASSENGER DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I OPEN AND SHUT-IT STILL SHOWS THAT IT IS OPEN. ..UPDATED 10/06/15 *BF UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT CONTINUALLY COMES ON IN MY 2012 FORD EDGE. WE HAVE SHUT THE DOOR REPEATEDLY SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WILL NOT SHUT. IT IS UNSAFE BECAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAY ON.

DOOR AJAR COMES ON WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES THE DOME LIGHT TO COME ON AND I CAN ONLY GET THE SENSOR TO GO OFF WHEN I DRIVE FORWARD AND OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING. AT NIGHT, THE DOME LIGHT PREVENTS ME FROM SEEING BEHIND ME WHEN REVERSING, BUT I'M UNABLE TO USE MY "TRICK" OF GOING FORWARD AND OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR TO GET THE SENSOR TO GO OFF UNTIL I AM FULLY BACKED UP. THE SENSOR ALSO TELLS MY VEHICLE THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN EVEN WHEN I EXIT THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE DOME LIGHT TO STAY ON ALL NIGHT AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT IT DRAINING THE BATTERY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,285.

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR WARNING WILL NOT GO OFF. THIS IS MAKING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON, THE DOOR WON'T LOCK WILL IN THE CAR. NEED HELP IN GETTING THIS TO BE HANDLED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY.

DOOR LATCH SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE. "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT WILL GO ON, EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED. IT IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING BECAUSE IT KEEPS BEEPING DURING DRIVING AND KEEPS TELLING ME TO SHIFT TO PARK WHILE IN MOTION.

AFTER CLOSING THE DRIVER'S DOOR, I GET A DOOR AJAR MESSAGE IN THE DASHBOARD SCREEN. WHEN PARKED, INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK SINCE THE VEHICLE THINKS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN. WHILE DRIVING, DOORS DO NOT LOCK AND NOTIFICATIONS REPEAT AFTER EACH STOP AS I RELEASE THE BRAKE TO START ACCELERATING. REPEATED DOOR CLOSINGS MAY CAUSE THE COMPUTER TO REALIZE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND THE MESSAGE MAY GO AWAY, BUT THAT SOLUTION WORKS LESS AND LESS OFTEN. MY EDGE IS NOW 5 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS 2 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. FORD HQ TELLS ME THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND MY DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $400 TO REPLACE THE DOOR SWITCH OR $500+ IF I WANT A DIAGNOSTIC TO DETERMINE IF THAT SOLUTION WILL WORK, OR IF THERE IS A LARGER PROBLEM. ONLINE RESEARCH REVEALS THIS PROBLEM IS RAMPANT ACROSS MANY FORD MODELS AND YEARS. THEY KNOW IT'S A FLAW AND REFUSE TO MAKE IT RIGHT.

SEPT 2013 - BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR IN REVERSE WITH VERY LITTLE RESPONSE. MOVING FORWARD ALMOST NO RESPONSE FROM BRAKES AND ALMOST HIT A CAR CROSSING IN FRONT. AT THE FORD DEALER, THE COMPONENT TEST MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND ALSO NOTED WITH BRAKE PEDAL WHISTLE NOISE WHEN PEDAL COMPLETELY ON THE FLOOR. REPLACED THE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER UNDER WARRANTY. JULY 2014 - BRAKE PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY RECURS. BRAKE PEDAL SOMETIMES GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. FORD DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM. JULY 2015 - AT CAR START, BRAKE IS VERY FIRM THEN SLOWLY GOES ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. THIS OCCURS ABOUT EVERY OTHER TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THE RECENT FORD F-150 INVESTIGATION OF THE ELECTRIC VACUUM ASSIST PUMP.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IN MY FORD EDGE ALWAYS READ AS OPEN, EVEN WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN WHEN I AM NOT IN THE CAR, DRAINING THE BATTERY. ALSO, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN I AM IN THE CAR, CAUSING A SECURITY CONCERN DEPENDING ON WHERE I AM DRIVING. I BOUGHT A NEW LATCH MECHANISM TO REPLACE THE FAULTY ONE. WHEN I REMOVED THE FAULTY ONE, I NOTICED THAT IT HAD FILLED WITH WATER, WHICH IS WHAT WAS CAUSING THE MALFUNCTION. I WAS ABLE TO INSTALL THE NEW ONE AND IT WORKS NOW, BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ISSUE THAT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN SOON.

THE DOOR LATCH LIGHT STAYS ON DURNING DRIVE TIME, IT PREVENTS LOCKED DOORS AND LIGHT ON MIRRORS AND INTERIOR LIGHT STAY ON. I HAVE READ THERE IS MULTIPLE FORD EDGE DRIVERS WITH SAME SAFTETY ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ITS VERY DANGEROUSE DRIVING HAZARD IT PREVENTS DOOR FROM LOCKING DURING HIGH SPEEDS. ...UPDATED 08-06/15 *BF UPDATED 9/29/2015*JS

THE DIVER SIDE IS CLOSE BUT THE AJAR SIGN IS ILLUMINATED AND WILL NOT GO AWAY IMAGINE IMAGINE STOPPING AT EVERY STOPLIGHT AND TRY TO CLOSE THE DOOR EVEN PULLED OVER SLAMMED THE DOOR SO MANY TIMES AND ILLUMINATED LIGHT STILL DO NOT GO AWAY. IT IS CAUSING A PROBLEM AND IS VERY DISTRACTING.

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON. UNABLE TO LOCK DOOR WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE CONSTANTLY SAYS TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND THE CLOSE THE DOOR. A HUGE PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING, DISTRACTION AND MAY CAUSE CRASHES.
