PAST YEAR CAR WARNS TO SHIFT INTO PARK; ALTHOUGH IN PARK. WARNING THAT DRIVERS DOOR IS AJAR, WHEN IT IS CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON, CANT LOCK THE DOORS AND CAUSES MY CAR ALARM TO GO OFF AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX. PLEASE RECALL THIS. THERE AND TONS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND ALL OVER THE INTERNET. HOW CAN FORD IGNORE THIS???
DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD INDICATE THE DOOR WAS OPEN AT VARIOUS RANDOM TIMES, EVEN WHEN IT WAS CLOSED. TOOK CAR TO DEALER 3/2013 WHERE THEY SERVICED THE LATCH AND THE ISSUE RESOLVED FOR ABOUT A YEAR. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER AND THEY WOULDN'T REPAIR IT UNLESS I PAID FOR A NEW LATCH. CLEANING AND LUBRICATING THE LATCH SOMETIMES HELPED FOR A FEW HOURS OR DAYS BUT THE PROBLEM ALWAYS RETURNED. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING OR NOT, AND BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING. REPLACED THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY 8/2016 (WHICH CONTAINS THE DOOR SWITCH) AND THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THE REPLACEMENT LATCH ASSEMBLY PART NO. 8T4Z-7821813-B HAS BEEN UPDATED TWICE PER FORD PARTS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE 'DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SECURELY LOCKED ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR MECHANISM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.
DOOR AJAR LIGHT, WHEN ALL DOORS ARE PROPERLY CLOSED THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT APPEARS. WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND SECURED THE SYSTEM STILL SAYS THE DOOR IS AJAR CAUSING THE DOME LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON, THUS DRAINING THE BATTERY. IF DRIVING AT NIGHT THE SYSTEM AGAIN KEEPS THE DOME LIGHT ON WHILE THE VEHICLES MOVING MAKING IT HARD TO SEE OUT OF THE VEHICLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS WERE CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.
DRIVERS DOOR AJAR INDICATES THE DRIVERS DOOR IS OPEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SECURED AND SHUT. INTERIOR LIGHTS AND CHIME COME ON. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND WHEN IT IS IN MOTION. THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 FORD EDGE. IT IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM THAT FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE OWNERSHIP OF.
THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. IT WON'T ALLOW YOU TO LOCK THE DOORS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT WILL STAY LIT. WHEN DRIVING IT WILL TELL YOU TO SHIFT TO PARK. EVEN WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND CLOSE IT NUMEROUS TIMES IT STILL SAYS DOOR AJAR. ALSO, IF YOU HIT A BUMP OR ROLL DOWN YOUR WINDOW THIS WILL RANDOMLY HAPPEN AS WELL. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD GARAGE AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE EDGE.
DOOR AJAR SENSOR - WHILE DRIVING DOOR AJAR INDICATOR COMES ON. IT DRAINS MY BATTERY WHILE PARKED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE ISSUE HAS REPEATED ITSELF ON THE DRIVER DOOR.
FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS THE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON. NOT ABLE TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING (STREETS OR HIGHWAY) THE SHIFT TO PARK INDICATOR LIGHTS UP, THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR COMES ON, INTERIOR LIGHTS TURN ON, ALL THE DOORS UNLOCK AND THE DOOR OPEN CHIMES ARE HEARD. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY AND OPERATION ISSUED WITH THE PASSENGERS AND VEHICLE.
DRIVER'S DOOR ALERTING AS NOT CLOSED. DOME LIGHT STAYS ON, DOOR OPEN ALERT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TO MANUALLY MOVE THE DOOR LATCH TO GET IT TO WORK CORRECTLY. SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT LOCK, AND SOMETIMES IT REMAINS LOCKED SO I CAN'T CLOSE MY DOOR. SINCE THIS STARTED, AS I'M DRIVING, THE ALERT COMES ON TO SHIFT MY CAR IN PARK, BECAUSE THE DOOR IS OPEN!! I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR I DRIVE MY KIDS AROUND FREQUENTLY, AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT WILL CLOSE, LOCK OR OPEN!! WHEN I MANUALLY MOVE THE LATCH, THE ALERTS GO OFF COMPLETELY.
DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND SENSOR STAY ON INTERMITTENTLY, AS DOES INTERIOR LIGHT. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING.
FOR ABOUT A MONTH THE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON. NOT ABLE TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING (STREETS OR HIGHWAY) THE SHIFT TO PARK INDICATOR LIGHTS UP, THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR COMES ON, INTERIOR LIGHTS TURN ON, ALL THE DOORS UNLOCK AND THE DOOR OPEN CHIMES ARE HEARD. WHEN I INITIALLY CHECKED FOR RECALLS THERE ARE SEVERAL INTERNET STORIES FROM 2014 RELATED TO THIS ISSUE ON THE FORD EDGE. I WAS TOLD ABOUT A RECALL THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED ON FORD VEHICLES SO I TOOK MY EDGE TO SOUTH BAY FORD ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 2016. I WAS TOLD THAT MY EDGE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. ON AUGUST 4, 2016 CNBC REPORTED THE RECALL OF ABOUT 830,000 FORD VEHICLES (HTTP://WWW.CNBC.COM/2016/08/04/FORD-RECALLS-830000-2012-2016-FORD-AND-LINCOLN-VEHICLES-TO-FIX-LATCHES.HTML) . TO MY SURPRISE THE 2013 FORD EDGE IS NOT LISTED.
THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT COMES ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT. IT'S BLINDING AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FACT IT LEAVES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ON CAUSING YOU NOT TO SEE OUTSIDE AND UNSAFE DRIVING WITH UNLOCKED DOORS WITH KIDS
DOOR LATCH MALFUNCTION. DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED BUT SENSOR DOESN'T COMMUNICATE TO COMPUTER. DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON, DOOR AJAR WARNING- DRAINS BATTERY WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK/STAY LOCKED WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. POOR VISIBILITY WHEN REVERSING IN THE DARK AS DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND REFLECTS ON WINDOWS. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE- IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE DOORS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION
WHEN TURNING KEY TO START VEHICLE, "DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR LIGHT DISPLAYS. WHILE DRIVING, SAME INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINS ON, ALONG WITH CONSTANT "DOOR AJAR" CHIME. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT DIM EVEN THO LATCH IS SECURE--- AND SECURITY ALARM IS ON. ALL OF STATED COMPLAINTS IMPEDE VISIBILITY, AND CREATE ATTENTION AND SAFETY ISSUES. DEALER RESOLVED SAME ISSUES 16 MONTHS AGO BY REPLACING A 5-YEAR BATTERY WITH A BRAND NEW 5-YEAR BATTERY; NOW YET ANOTHER NEW BATTERY IS BEING RECOMMENDED BY DEALER. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT FORD INTENDED FOR CUSTOMERS TO REPLACE AUTO BATTERY EVERY 1.5 YEARS, ESPECIALLY FOR A 3-YEAR OLD VEHICLE.
FORD EDGE 2013 "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED. IT STAYS ON CONSISTENTLY. IT CAUSES THE DOME LIGHT TO STAY ON LONGER, EFFECTING MY BATTERY AND SAFETY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE WARNING SIGNAL COMES ON EVERY TIME I STOP CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD AS MY ATTENTION IS SHIFTED OFF THE ROAD TO MY GAUGE AND THE NOISE. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE I HAVE NO WAY OF TELLING IF MY DOOR IS REALLY AJAR BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ON CONSISTENTLY, EVEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED. I HAD THE MECHANISM CLEANED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP, IT WENT OFF FOR ABOUT A MONTH, AND NOW IS ON AGAIN ALL OF THE TIME. I TOOK IT AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW LATCH KIT. MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,400.
2013 FORD EDGE WITH 37K MILES. DRIVER "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. CAUSING DOORS NOT TO LOCK WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION GOING DOWN ROAD/HIGHWAY. ALSO CAUSES INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON, UNABLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDOWS WHILE THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ON WHILE NIGHT DRIVING. REAR VIEW CAMERA GLITCHES ON AND OFF AND FLIPS UPSIDE DOWN WHICH CAUSES DISTRACTION WHILE BACKING UP AND UNSAFE OPERATING CONDITIONS.
DRIVE'S SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY DISPLAYS. INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT DIM BECAUSE CAR THINKS DOOR IS OPEN WHEN LATCH IS SECURE. IN ADDITION, DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED. AS A WOMAN WHO TRAVELS A LOT AND GETS IN HER CAR, ALONE, OFTEN LATE AT NIGHT, I DO TRULY BELIEVE THIS TO BE A TERRIBLY SAFETY ISSUE!!! DOME LIGHTS OFTEN REMAIN ON EVEN WHEN CAR IS OFF A NO ONE IS IN IT. I FEAR IT COULD DRAIN THE BATTERY DEAD WHEN CAR LEFT IN PARK AND OFF. IN ADDITION, I OFTEN HAVE DIFFICULTIES WITH THE CAR'S SYNC SYSTEM AND THE CAR ALMOST ALWAYS HAS EXHAUST/FUEL FUMES WHEN TRAVELING ABOVE 60 MPH. I DON'T KNOW IF ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE RELATED, BUT WITH A VEHICLE SO DEPENDANT ON ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS FOR OPERATION I WORRY ABOUT A LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE!!!
DRIVER DOOR AJAR WON'T GO OUT OR COMES ON RANDOMLY WILE DRIVING AND INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AND WON'T GO OFF. DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? WHY CAN POLICE TICKET YOU FOR DRIVING WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS ON IF IT NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? WHY DO THE DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY IF IT IS NO A SAFETY FEATURE? 42,000 MI
THE DOOR ADJAR STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING LEAVING LIGHT DOME ON CAUSING VISIBILITY PROBLEMS AT NIGHT. WHEN I GET HOME I ALWAYS HAVE A HARD TIME CLOSING MY DOOR FOR THE LIGHT DOME TO TURN OFF. MY BATTERY ALREADY DIED HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY AND THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2013! A BATTERY SHOULD NOT DIE THAT SOON! ALL BECAUSE THIS DOOR ADJAR. PLEASE HAVE THIS RECALLED. ALSO. I HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED FOR A MINUTE WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO GET CHECKED AT FORD WHEN IT WAS STILL IN WARRANTY! THEY FIXED IT FOR THE TIME BEING BUT IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN. AND MY WARRANTY IS OVER!
MY FORD EDGE INAPPROPRIATELY LEAVES THE DOME LIGHT ON, WON'T LET THE DOORS LOCK, AND SAYS THERE IS A DOOR AJAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS WHO ARE THE PRIMARY USERS OF THE CAR. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED
THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON TELLS ME TO PUT CAR IN PARK ..I DO THIS AND IT STILL SAYS DOOR IS AJAR ...AS I AM DRIVING THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE BELL DINGS EVERYTIME I STOP AND TAKE OFF AGAIN..IF YOU MANUALLY LOCK DOOR THEY IMMEDIATELY COME UNLOCKED...THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING...
2013 FORD EDGE - DOOR AJAR SWITCH HAS GONE BAD IN DRIVERS DOOR. THIS CAUSES DOME LIGHT TO COME ON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. MY WIFE HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE EDGE BACK HOME AT NIGHT BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T SEE WITH THE DOME LIGHT ON. SEARCHING INTERNET INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MANY NEWER FORD VEHICLE OWNERS. THE ALARMS AND DASH WRITTEN WARNINGS ABOUT A DOOR BEING AJAR (WHEN IT'S NOT) IS A NUISANCE AND BEGIN TO TRY AND IGNORE IT. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN IT IS AJAR, YOU WILL NOT PAY THE WARNINGS ANY ATTENTION. THE NIGHT DRIVING WITH THE DOME LIGHT ON IS THE BIGGEST SAFETY ISSUE.
THE DOOR AJAR ERROR KEEPS COMING ON AND WON'T GO OFF, WHICH IN TURN KEEPS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON.
DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS SHUT PREVENTING INTERIOR LIGHTS FROM GOING OFF.
THE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL REMAINS LIT WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, PREVENTING THE ABILITY TO LOCK DOORS WHILE DRIVING, AND CAUSING INTERNAL CAR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON.
WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON, WHICH THEN CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHT IN THE CAR TO STAY ON. I HAVE TO OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES TO TRY AND GET THEY DOOR AJAR LIGHT TO SHUT OFF SO THE DOORS CAN LOCK AND I CAN DRIVE. *TR
DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY DISPLAY. INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT DIM BECAUSE CAR THINKS DOOR IS OPEN WHEN LATCH IS SECURE. AND DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT SHUT OFF. I FEAR IT COULD DRAIN THE BATTERY DEAD WHEN CAR LEFT IN PARK AND OFF. NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. *TR
THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR ALWAYS SAYS MY DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I CLOSE IT. BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN I CAN'T LOCK THE CAR DOORS THEREFORE I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE. THE SENSOR ALSO MAKES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS GO ON AND THEY DON'T SHUT OFF. IT MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AT NIGHT. IT JUST STARTED HAPPENING AFTER I STARTED MY CAR AND LEFT FOR WORK.
DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY IS FAULTY AND THE PASSENGER DOOR ALWAYS SHOWS AJAR.
IN 2015 WE TOOK OUR EDGE IN TO THE SHOP BECAUSE THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR WOULD STILL BE ON WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE DOORS TO LOCK GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WOULD HAVE AN ANNOYING MESSAGE TELLING ME TO SHIFT TO PARK AS I CAME UP TO A RED LIGHT. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD CLEAN IT AND THAT SHOULD FIX IT BUT THAT WOULD ONLY BE TEMPORARY AND THAT THEY WOULD PROBABLY EVENTUALLY REPLACE THE SWITCH. AGAIN THIS MONTH, JULY 2016, IT HAS STARTED AGAIN. THE "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGES AND NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK THE DOOR AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON ALL HAPPENING AGAIN. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, EVEN AFTER THEY REPLACE THE SWITCH, THIS DOESN'T COMPLETELY FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WILL START TO OCCUR AGAIN AFTER A FEW MONTHS. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THE DEALERS ARE MAKING A FEW 100 BUCKS FROM EVERY PERSON THAT SHOWS UP TO GET IT "REPAIRED". IT IS GOING OFF RIGHT NOW, AS I TYPE THIS, AS MY WIFE IS DRIVING AND I AM AT WORK AND SHE CALLED ME.
ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO (AROUND JULY 8, 2016) I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMING ON. IT WOULD SOMETIMES GO OFF ON ITS OWN OR WHEN I OPENED AND CLOSED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR A FEW TIMES. THIS HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT TO WHERE THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME WHEN THE CAR IS ON. MY DOME LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS AND DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON RANDOMLY WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF, OF COURSE CREATING PROBLEMS WITH RUNNING THE BATTERY DOWN. AS I DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR DRIVING IN TOWN, WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES CREATE A DRIVING HAZARD WHEN THEY GO OFF. I HAVEN'T HAD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT YET, BUT THE DOME LIGHT COMING ON RANDOMLY WILL DEFINITELY CAUSE A DRIVING HAZARD. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
MY FORD EDGE HAS A DOOR AJAR PROBLEM WHICH IS VERY WELL KNOWN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS YOU WOULD NOT KNOW IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED OR REALLY OPEN DUE TO THE FAULTY SWITCH
TAKATA RECALL DASH IS COMING APART AT SEAM OF AIR BAG ON PASSAGES SIDE07/01/2016.
THE DOOR AJAR SWITCH IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, MY INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AFTER I LOCK THE DOORS, THE DOOR AJAR CHIME RINGS THE WHOLE TIME I'M DRIVING. THIS IMPEDES VISIBILITY, ATTENTION, AND COULD HAVE ADVERSE SAFETY CONSEQUENCES.
DOOR AJAR, LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN WITH DOOR CLOSED
DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON WHILE DOOR IS CLOSED (IN MOTION, IDLE AND OFF), RESULTING IN THE BATTERY TO BE DRAINED IF LEFT OFF TOO LONG. THIS HAS LEFT ME NEEDING TO GET A JUMP IF OUT AND MULTIPLE TIMES CHARGE MY BATTERY IF IT SITS TOO LONG.
DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET. STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND WHEN IT WAS GREEN WE GOT UP TO ABOUT 45 MPH, THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND WE HAD TO PULL OVER INTO THE TURN LANE. WE COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER. DEALER ADVISED FAULTY THROTTLE BODY WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS A KNOWN ISSUE.
DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. PREVENTS DRIVER FROM KNOWING OF A REAL DOOR AJAR SITUATION. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON, CREATING A NIGHT DRIVING HAZARD AND WHEN SITTING IN CAR AT NIGHT. DOORS NO LONGER LOCK WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. FAULTY LATCH OR SENSOR. ALL ISSUES STEMMING FOR FAULTY DOOR LATCH OR SENSOR. THIS HAS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS.
DRIVERS DOOR SHOWS AJAR WHEN DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUES AS THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING. BATTERY WILL DIE BECAUSE THE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED. THIS IS AN ISSUE AND THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED. JUST PURCHASED CAR.
THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN DOOR IS SHUT AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THE WARNING TELLS YOU TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK EVEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT MAKES A SIGNAL SOUND THAT WILL NOT STOP. THE INSIDE LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF. WILL IT RUN THE BATTERY DOWN?
2013 FORD EDGE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY POINT WHILE DRIVING OR SIMPLY BACKING UP IT WILL STALL AND SHAKE AND PRESSING THE GAS DOES NOTHING. THE CAR BASICALLY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING.. THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS COAST AND PRAY THAT YOU MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY SAFELY. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN FIXED LESS THAN 8 MONTHS AGO AND STILL ISSUE HAS STARTED AGAIN. I'VE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUNDS PAGES AND PAGES AND PAGES OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS... THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL OF OTHER FORD VEHICLES WITH THAT SAME ISSUE... WHEN I INITIALLY TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (JOE MYERS FORD ON NWO FREEWAY) MY SERVICE REP ADVISED THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE EVEN IN THE 2016 MODELS. HE DROVE ONE THE SAME DAY WITH THAT ISSUE.. BUT OF COURSE I PAID $900 TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED.. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
DOOR AJAR WARNING IS PRESENT WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES WE CLOSE THE DOOR, THE LIGHT STAYS ON. WE ARE ABLE TO BOTH PARK AND DRIVE WITH THIS ALARM ON BUT THE CABIN LIGHTS STAY ON THE ENTIRE TIME. WE EXPERIENCED THE FIRST ISSUE IN JANUARY 2015 AND THE FORD FULLER DEALERSHIP IN CHULA VISTA, CA REPLACE IT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. JULY 2016, THE SAME WARNING WAS APPEARING ON THE DASH BOARD WITH THE SAME ISSUE. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT, AND HAD THE FIRST REPAIR DONE, AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER THEIR FAULTY WORK. THEY STATED THAT SINCE OUR 3 YEAR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED THE ISSUE WOULD NO LONGER BE COVERED, REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT THEY "FIXED" THE ISSUE WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY GUARANTEE THEIR REPAIRS FOR 2 YEARS. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE OUR DOOR LATCH AGAIN AS WELL AS A NEW BATTERY FOR THIS ISSUE. WE HOPE A RECALL IS MADE SOON BECAUSE THIS IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL AND PRICEY.
"DRIVER DOOR AJAR" AROUND 40K PLUS MILES WE STARTED GETTING THIS ISSUE. EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSE IT KEEPS SAYING "DRIVER DOOR AJAR". IT WON'T LOCK THE DOOR BECAUSE OF THIS. EVEN WHEN YOU PARKED AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE ONCE YOU TRY TO LOCK THE DOOR IT WON'T. THIS MAY CAUSE POTENTIAL BATTERY DAMAGE OR WORST PEOPLE CAN JUST SIMPLY OPEN YOUR DOOR WHEN YOU ARE IN A STOP WHILE ON THE ROAD. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON, TRY YOUTUBE AND SEARCH FOR FORD DOOR AJAR. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING THIS ISSUE BUT STILL NO RECALL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DOOR LATCH WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
DRIVERS DOOR AJAR DISPLAY IS ON WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE DOOR FOR THE DISPLAY LIGHT TO GO AWAY. WHEN LIGHT IS ON, DOORS WON'T LOCK AND DO NOT KNOW IF A REAL DOOR AJAR MESSAGE IS VALID. ALSO, CAR LOSES POWER WHEN DRIVING. JUST LOSES POWER AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF YOU CAN'T GET OFF THE ROAD IN TIME BEFORE GETTING HIT. HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT BOTH SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE EDGE, DOOR LOCK SENSOR AND HALFSHAFT RETENTION CIRCLIP COMING LOOSE.
DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON DUE TO A FAULTY SWITCH WITHIN THE DOOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE DOORS WON'T LOCK WHILE DRIVING AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND FORD FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.
THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. IT KEEPS ME FROM LOCKING THE DOORS WHILE INSIDE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ISSUE FIXED WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE DRIVER DOOR BUT THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING AGAIN WITH THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THIS ISSUE IS PRESENT AT ALL TIMES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, A CHIME SOUNDED AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, THE DOOR WAS CLOSED SECURELY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING AND AFTER THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000. UPDATED 09/08/16*LJ *JS

What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
