DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING SIGN AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. IT POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT PREVENTS YOU FROM LOCKING THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM LAST YEAR AND I HAD IT FIXED AT A LOCAL FORD SERVICE CENTER BUT THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PART MALFUNCTION AS IT PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD.
THE DRIVER DOOR IS CLOSED, BUT AJAR STAY ON!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD THE VEHICLE RUN OVER SOMETHING THAT LEFT DEBRIS IN THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SHIELD COVER DISLODGED FROM THE VEHICLE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.
AFTER CLOSING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON. THE DOORS USED TO AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AS YOU PUT IT IN REVERSE/DRIVE IF ALL OF THE DOORS ARE CLOSED PROPERLY, BUT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR TELLS THE CAR DOOR IS AJAR. THIS NOT ONLY ANNOYING TO SEE THE POP UP, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHICH IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. FORD HAS RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE BUT IS REFUSING TO DO A RECALL.
WHILE DRIVING I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I WENT FROM 50MPH TO NOTHING WHILE GOING UP AN OVERPASS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH MY FORD FUSION AND IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. IN BOTH CASES THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT ME FROM CAUSING OR BEING INVOLVED IN VERY BAD ACCIDENTS WAS THE GRACE OF GOD! I JUST CALLED FORD AND THEY HAD NO THROTTLE BODIES IN STOCK BECAUSE FORD HAD PLACED A HOLD ON ORDERING THEM! NOW ISN'T THAT INTERESTING!! I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD PROMISED 2,000 TO BE SHIPPED OUT THIS WEEK. THAT SEEMS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN LOOKED AT FOR YEARS....WHY ISN'T SOMEONE DOING MORE THAN SLAPPING FORD'S HAND?
TAKATA RECALL: DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR INDICATOR STAYS ON WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO STAY ON. AT NIGHT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WILL BACKING UP THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND HAS CAUSE ME TO BACK INTO TRASH CAN. I'M VERY FORTUNATE IT WASN'T A PERSON OR VEHICLE. MY DOORS WILL NOT LOCK THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT I TRANSPORT DOWN SOME HIGH CRIME AREAS. ALSO MY GAS CAP SEAL DOESN'T SEAL PROPERLY WHEN I GET GAS MY CAR IS HARD TO START.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE PARKED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND CHIMED IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE PREVENTED THE DOORS FROM LOCKING MANUALLY AND ELECTRONICALLY. THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR TOO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. UPDATED 05/10/16*LJ *TR
THE DOOR SENSOR ON FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE TO SHUT THE DOOR VERY HARD SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT SAYS THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS CAN LEAVE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS RUNNING AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKING PROPERLY.
DOOR AJAR COMES ON WHILE THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND YOU HAVE THE OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR MORE THAN 50 TIMES FOR IT TO GO OFF ......FORD NEEDS TO REDESIGN OR REPLACE SENSORS/ DOOR LOCK MECH. ESPECIALLY NOT EVEN BEING 2,000 MILES AFTER REPLACEMENT AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE WITH OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS AND OTHER FORD VECHICAL OWNERS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM
DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR CLAIMS THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT. THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE STAY ON AND THE DASH WILL SAY DRIVER DOOR AJAR. IF YOU SHIFT TO DRIVE, THEN THE CAR WILL DING AND ASK YOU TO SHIFT TO PARK.
THE DOOR AJAR WARNING MESSAGE (ALWAYS INDICATING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR) COMES ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. I HAVE TO SHUT THE DOOR HARD SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE WARNING MESSAGE OR DOOR AJAR REMOVED. NOW THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING APPEARS. THE WARNING MESSAGES ALSO SAY SHIFT TO PARK WHEN THE DOOR AJAR WARNING MESSAGE APPEARS.
THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR SENSOR WILL NOT GO OFF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU OPEN AND RE-CLOSE THE DOOR. THIS CAUSES THE FOLLOWING TO OCCUR: 1) WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE WITH CHILDREN 2) WHEN LEAVING THE CAR, THE DOOR IS NOT RECOGNIZED AS CLOSED SO THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT AND SIDE-VIEW MIRROR LIGHTS ALL REMAIN ON. THIS DRAINS THE BATTERY WHILE THE CAR SITS IDLE.
THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON AFTER DOOR IS SHUT. THE DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON. SHIFT TO PARK WARNING COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AS WELL. THE ALARM WILL NOT ACTIVATE. I HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES TO CLOSE THE DOOR ON ORDER FOR IT TO GO OFF.
AFTER CLOSING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, A WARNING IMAGE POPS UP ON THE SPEEDOMITOR DISPLAY. THE DOORS USED TO AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AS YOU PUT IT IN REVERSE/DRIVE IF ALL OF THE DOORS ARE CLOSED PROPERLY, BUT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR TELLS THE CAR DOOR IS AJAR. THIS NOT ONLY ANNOYING TO SEE THE POP UP, INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND SLAMMING THE DOOR CONTINUOSLY, BUT ITS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL OF THE PASSANGERS. FORD HAS GOTTIN' MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND PHYSICAL DEALERSHIPS.
DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AFTER SHUTTING THE DRIVERS DOOR, DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, WHEN YOU STOP IT TELLS YOU TO PUT IN PARK. IT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME, AND STOP AT ANY TIME. SOMETIMES YOU CAN SHUT THE DRIVERS DOOR A LITTLE HARDER AND IT WILL GO OUT. SOMETIMES, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.
MY FORD EDGE 2013 IS NOT TURNING OFF THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS WHEN I CLOSE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND WHEN DRIVING I GET A WARNING STATING THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR.SOMETIMES AFTER SLAMMING THE DRIVER DOOR TWO TO THREE TIMES IT GOES AWAY.IT HAS BECOME QUIET ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS WHEN I DRIVE SINCE IT BECOMES A CONSTANT DISTRACTION.I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATE THAT EITHER THE SENSOR OR THE LATCH HAVE BECOME FAULTY..REALLY?...I THINK ITS ABOUT TIME FOR FORD TO DO A RECALL AND CORRECT THIS ISSUE SINCE I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER FORD OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE IN THERE OFFICES.
MY DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, THE DOME LIGHTS STAY LIT. I HAVE TO KEEP CLOSING THE DOOR UNTIL THE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN I LOCK IT. THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING WHEN THIS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON.
PROBLEM WITH DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR ACTIVATING WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, THEN PROBLEM RECURRED ABOUT 10 MONTHS LATER AFTER VEHICLE WARRANTY LAPSED. FORD WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS NOW. AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT FUNCTION WITH THIS SENSOR PROBLEM. INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO STAY ON WHICH REDUCES VISIBILITY.
THE DRIVERS DOOR IS SHOWING OPEN ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL EVEN WHEN CLOSED. THERE IS ALSO AND AUDIBLE ALARM WARNING THAT THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED. THE DOOR LOCK FEATURE WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I AM UNSURE IF THE DOOR IS SAFELY LATCHED AT ALL
MY DRIVERS DOOR IS CLOSED COMPLETLY AND MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON, MY INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON, THEN WILL TELL ME TO SHIFT TO PARK WHEN STOPPING, ANNOYING,DRIVING AT NIGHT IS DANGEROUS, LIGHT ON , RED LIGHT ON DASH DISTRACTING THE DRIVER, MY CAR HAS ONLY 58,000 MILES ON IT! CALLED 2 FORD DEALERSHIPS , BOTH ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS?? WELL WHY HASN'T THE FORD COMPANY DID A RECALL AND FIX IT!! FORD PRIDES THEMSELVES ON BEING "FORD TOUGH" WE'LL STAND BEHIND YOUR VEHICLES!!
DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON AS IF DOOR IS OPEN. DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND CAR WILL NOT LOCK PROPERLY. WHETHER I AM IN MOTION PARKED OR JUST IDLE THE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON AND I HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR 2-10 TIME EVERY TIME. ALSO, MY BACK UP CAMERA IS FUNCTIONAL BUT THE PICTURE WON'T COME UP ON THE SCREEN.
DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AFTER SHUTTING THE DRIVERS DOOR, DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, WHEN YOU STOP IT TELLS YOU TO PUT IN PARK. IT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME, AND STOP AT ANY TIME. SOMETIMES YOU CAN SHUT THE DRIVERS DOOR A LITTLE HARDER AND IT WILL GO OUT. SOMETIMES, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.
THE DOOR OPEN SENSOR COMES ON WHEN I AM DRIVING WHEN THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED AND THEN THE INTERIOR LIGHT COMES ON, IT WILL ALSO COME ON WHEN I AM PARKED WHEN IT IS CLOSED. I HAD IT REPLACED WITHIN THE LAST YEAR AND IT IS DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING AGAIN. ALSO WHEN MY EDGE IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT IT WILL SMELL LIKE FUEL IN THE MORNINGS. IT SMELLS LIKE THERE IS A LEAK.
THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALARM COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF WHICH CAN BE A DRIVING HAZARD AND WILL ALSO DRAIN THE BATTERY. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED AT ABOUT 47,000 MILES AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER IN JUNE 2015. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, SO I HAD TO PAY $107 DEDUCTIBLE FOR THEM TO CLEAN THE SWITCH. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AGAIN IN MARCH 2016.
WHEN STARTING CAR I GET MESSAGE: DRIVERS DOOR AJAR-THE DOOR IS SECURELY LATCHED, OVERHEAD LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE PARKED, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT FOR THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE DOOR WAS PROPERLY CLOSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.
THE PASSENGER SIDE INSIDE BRAKE PAD WAS WORN DOWN TO THE METAL. THE OUTSIDE OF THE PASSENGER BRAKE PAD AND THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE PADS WERE ALMOST LIKE NEW. I'VE PAID OVER $300 IN PARTS AND LABOR TO HAVE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED. THIS INCIDENT WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE IT IS. HOPEFULLY NOTHING HAPPENS DURING OUR DAILY COMMUTE.
DOOR AJAR LIGHT GOES ON. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME THING STILL NOT FIXED. THIS WEEKEND SOON AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I DO NOT REMEMBER THE DATE THEY WILL HAVE IT AT THE MECHANIC I'M SURE OR SOMEWHERE IN MY FILE FOLDERS
WHEN STARTING CAR I GET MESSAGE: DRIVERS DOOR AJAR-THE DOOR IS SECURELY LATCHED, OVERHEAD LIGHTS COME ON AND STAY ON, LOCKS WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN MESSAGE IS ON. WARNING STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.
DRIVER SIDE DOOR SWITCH STICKS AND THE VEHICLE COMPUTER THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED.
DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR REMAINS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. WHEN DRIVING, FRONT INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK FROM INSIDE.
DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR SECURELY. DOORS WON'T AUTO LOCK AFTER MOVEMENT OF CAR. DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AND JEOPARDIZE BATTERY LIFE.
"TAKATA RECALL" I WENT TO THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY TO HAVE THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR FIXED AND REQUESTED A NEW DOOR LATCH AND WAS TOLD FORD SENT A TOOL TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH LASTED 8 MONTHS UNFORTUNATELY OUT OF BUMPER TO BUMPER. CALLED LOVELAND FORD AND WAS TOLD FORD IS BEING FINICKY ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND I NEED TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET PER THE CORPORATION REALLY!!!!!!! THE CAR DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE COMPUTER MODULE TELLS ME TO PUT IN PARK AND THE DOOR AJAR WILL NOT GO OUT. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN I START THE CAR. I SLAM THE DOOR 5-10 TIMES I AM NOT GOING TO PAY THEM FOR A CAR THAT WAS OVER 30K FOR A PROBLEM THEY COVERED UP? SHAME ON YOU FORD!,,,,,,,,,,
DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR WARNING KEEPS COMING ON. IT WOULD GO AWAY AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, OR SOME CLEANER SPRAYED INTO THE LOCKING MECHANISM AREA. BUT NOW, IT'S WARNING AT ALL TIMES. DOME LIGHTS STAY ON, WARNING CHIMES WHEN THE CAR ISN'T MOVING QUICKLY, AND CAR DOORS WON'T LOCK B/C IT THINKS THE DOOR IS AJAR. I THINK THAT AND HAVING LIGHTS ON WHEN YOU'RE REVERSING AT NIGHT ARE THE TWO BIGGEST SAFETY ISSUES. THE OTHER ISSUES ARE JUST ANNOYING AND LIKELY WEARING OUT BATTERY POWER WITH THE LIGHTS STAYING ON. I'VE READ THAT SOME OTHER FORD AND LINCOLN MODELS HAVE HAD RECALLS ON THIS LOCKING MECHANISM SO HOPING THAT THE EDGE GETS THE SAME TREATMENT. SEEMS LIKE A SILLY ISSUE FOR A 2013 CAR WITH 37K MILES ON IT.
THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE DOOR IS DOOR IS SHUT. THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN DRIVING AND FREQUENT FLASHING LIGHTS ON THE DASH WARN THAT THE DRIVERS DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS NOT. THIS IS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AND VERY DISTRACTING. THIS STARTED HERE AND THERE ON 2/29 AND IS CONSTANT SINCE 3/7. THE MILEAGE OF THE CAR IS AROUND 65,000
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. AFTER CLOSING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE DOOR WAS STILL OPEN. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,690.
ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 2015, THE DRIVERS' SIDE DOOR WILL BE FIRMLY CLOSED AND THE 'DOOR AJAR' ALARM WILL CONTINUALLY SOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL REPEATEDLY SOUND DESPITE REPEATED OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE DOOR. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION FOR ABOUT 100 FEET, THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT FUNCTION (STAY UNLOCKED), AND THE DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL CONTINUALLY SOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP OR SLOWS DOWN TO LESS THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 THAT THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND DRIVEN. THIS OCCURS WHEN IN MOTION, STATIONARY, ON OUR DRIVEWAY, ON THE CITY STREETS OR OTHER ROADWAYS, ETC.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THERE WAS A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED AS NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.
THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STOPPED WORKING (MAKING THE CAR THINK THE DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN IT WAS IN FACT CLOSED). THIS PREVENTS THE CAR FROM LOCKING WHILE DRIVING (A SAFETY ISSUE) AND ALSO CAUSES THE DOME LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING (A FURTHER SAFETY ISSUE). IT ALSO CAUSES THE DRIVER DISPLAY TO BEEP AND MAKE DISTRACTING POPUP MENUS WHILE DRIVING, WHICH CAN DISTRACT THE DRIVER. I PREVIOUSLY HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT IT HAS RE-OCCURRED ON THE SAME DOOR. THEN I GOOGLED IT AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH LOTS OF FORD DOOR SENSORS DATING BACK SEVERAL YEARS.
DOOR ADJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT TIGHT AND MOST OF THE TIME THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON, WHICH IS VERY AGGRAVATING IF DRIVING AT NIGHT,.
DOOR AJAR ISSUE, DOOR IS CLOSED AND IT CONTINUALLY POPS UP WHICH MAKE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON MAKING IT DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE "FIXED" ONCE BY THE DEALERSHIP LESS THAN A AGO AND IT HAS POPPED UP AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I THE CAR IS STOPPED AND IN MOTION, REGARDLESS TO WHERE I AM AT.
DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND THIS ENDANGERS THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE WARNING BELL RINGS WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ALSO, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHICH IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR NIGHT DRIVING.
DOOR AJAR LIGHT OFTEN STAYS ON OR SUDDENLY COMES ON WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK (OR WILL UNLOCK) AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT COMES ON. THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BACK UP AT NIGHT. IT WILL SOMETIME HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS JUST SITTING IN THE GARAGE WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING AND NO PASSENGERS IN IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR MANY REASONS. AGAIN, IT HAS HAPPENED SITTING, WHEN FIRST STARTED AND WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WILL PUT IN A DATE BELOW BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.
WHEN I SHUT DRIVER DOOR WITH ENGINE ON THE DOOR ADJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. TURN CAR OFF AND EXIT AND SHUT DRIVERS DOOR INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND EVENTUALLY RUN BATTERY DOWN.DEALER SAYS THE CONTACTS IN DOOR LATCH SWITCH NEED TO BE CLEANED. FIX LASTS ONLY ABOUT 2 WEEKS. BROUGHT BACK UNDER WARRANTY 3 TIMES. DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE PART ONLY CLEAN. MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT IN ONE MONTH.
DOOR AJAR IS CONSTANTLY ON AND IF IT GOES OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING THE DOOR AJAR WILL GO OFF WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR LATCH HAD TO BE CHANGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,927. UPDATED 04/06/16*LJ CONSUMER STATED THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED ALMOST EXACTLY 1 YEAR APART. DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH THE DOME LIGHTS ON ABOVE THE EYES, PLUS WARNING LIGHTS AND WARNING SOUND GOING OFF. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY CHANGED THE LATCH ( CHECKED ONLINE) LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING SAME ISSUE. CONSUMER CALLED FORD MOTOR CO. BUT NO HELP! UPDATED 6/7/18*JB
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHEN THE DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN LIT AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. SOMETIMES IT WILL GO OFF AFTER REPEATEDLY SLAMMING THE DOOR SHUT BUT NOT ALWAYS. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGER BECAUSE OF DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH THE LIGHT ON. I ALSO HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR THAT COULD POSSIBLY OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THE CAR IS GOING.
I JUST PURCHASED MY FORD EDGE 2 WEEKS AGO AND THE REAR LEFT DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHEN THE DOOR IS NOT OPEN. I HAVE STOPPED THE CAR, OPEN AND CLOSED THE DOOR BUT THE LIGHT WILL STILL STAY ON. WHEN WE LOCK THE DOORS AT NIGHT, THE ALARM WILL GO OFF SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. WORRIED IF THE DOORS ARE EVEN LOCKING AT THIS POINT. I CALLED A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND NOT A RECALL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. AFTER CLOSING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE INDICATED THAT THE DOOR WAS STILL OPEN AND CAUSED THE DOME LIGHT TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OFTHE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILIABLE.
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IN DIFFERENT DRIVING CONDITIONS, AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, THE CAR LOST COMPLETE ENGINE POWER. IT TOTALLY SHUT OFF. THE YELLOW AWD OFF AND WRENCH INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL ENGINE POWER IS TOTALLY LOST. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS WHEN IT OCURRS IN TRAFFIC AND AT HIGH SPEED ON A FREEWAY. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND COMPLETELY RESARTING THE CAR, EVERYTHING WORKS FINE AGAIN UNTIL SOME RANDOM MOMENT WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN WITH TOTAL POWER LOSS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SUGGESTED THAT MAYBE IT WAS SOME BAD GASOLINE. WE REQUESTED THEM TO DRAIN THE TANK COMPLETELY. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, AFTER EXPERIENCING NO PROBLEMS, THE SAME PROBLEMS BEGAN TO OCURR MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET I BECAME AWARE OF OTHER FORD DRIVERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ISSUE AND IT SEEMED TO ME THAT THE COMMON PROBELM WAS THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. I DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND PAY TO HAVE THAT COMPLETELY REPLACED. IT'S ONLY BEEN A WEEK SINCE I REPLACED THAT PART, SO FAR, NO PROBLEMS, BUT IT'S TOO EARLY TO SAY FOR SURE IF IT IS RESOLVED. I BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED DRIVERS OF THIS ISSUE AND RECALLED THE VEHICLES AND REPLACED THE PART FREE OF CHARGE, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. 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.
