DRIVER SIDE DOOR SYMBOL WILL APPEAR ON DASH BOARD WAS WELL AS DOOM LIGHTS WILL STAY ON, WILL HAVE TO SHUT DOOR A COUPLE OF TIMES OR TURN THE CAR BACK ON TO RESET. THIS NOW GETTING TO THE POINT THAT THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED OR THE DOOM INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL STAY ON AND DRAIN THE BATTERY. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER DOOR UNLOCKED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
THE SYSTEM IS SHOWING A "DOOR AJAR" ALARM, DRIVERS FRONT DOOR. INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I DID NOT CLOSE THE DOOR ENOUGH SO I OPENED IT AND PULLED HARDER AND THE ALARM WENT AWAY. WE DROVE THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS AND ONE MORNING WHEN IT WAS COLD I CLOSED THE DOOR AND THE ALARM POSTED AGAIN AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES THE ALARM WENT AWAY. WE DROVE THE CAR A FEW MORE DAYS AND THE ALARM WAS POSTING 50 % OF THE TIME. AROUND DECEMBER THE ALARM BEGAN POSTING MOST OF THE TIME, NOW IT POST 100% OF THE TIME EVEN ON THE WARM DAYS. THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE ISSUES WHEN THE ALARM IS ON. 1.THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF FOR AROUND 20 MINUTES, I'M SURE THIS IS NOT GOOD ON THE BATTERY. 2.THE DOME LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF WHILE IN REVERSE, THEY ONLY GO OFF AFTER YOU ARE IN DRIVE AND MOVE FORWARD FOR QUITE A FEW FEET. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS AFTER DARK. 3.THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE. *TR
THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT. I HAVE TO SLAM THE DOOR HARD 4-5 TIMES TO GET IT TO GO OFF. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE ALERT TO "SHIFT TO PARK". I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER WHO CHARGED ME $80 TO SAY THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I CAME HOME, KNOWING THIS WASN'T RIGHT AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. FORD NEEDS TO PLACE A RECALL ON THIS. *TR
THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR KEEPS READING DOOR AJAR EVEN THO THE DOOR IS CLOSED. IT HAPPENS NOT ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND WE GO TO LOCK IT, BUT WHILE WE ARE DRIVING AS WELL. IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO MAKE ALERT SOUNDS, THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON, AND IT WILL ALERT US TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. WHEN WE DO PARK AND GO TO LOCK THE CAR, THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL THE TIMER SHUTS THEM OFF BECAUSE IT IS STILL REGISTERING THE DOOR AS AJAR. MY MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS PROBLEM IS THAT WE HAVE A NEWBORN AND THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WHILE ALERTS ARE GOING OFF IS VERY TROUBLESOME. I HAVE SET AN APPOINTMENT UP WITH THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT THE DOOR, BUT AFTER REVIEWING THE GROSS NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, IT IS MIND BLOWING TO ME THAT FORD HAS NOT STEPPED UP AND ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE YET. HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IF THE CAR IS CONSTANTLY ALERTING AND TELLING YOU THAT YOUR DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN? *TR
THE SYSTEM IS SHOWING A "DOOR AJAR" ALARM, DRIVERS FRONT DOOR. INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I DID NOT CLOSE THE DOOR ENOUGH SO I JUST OPENED IT, AND PULLED A LITTLE HARDER AND THE ALARM WENT AWAY. I DROVE THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS AND ONE MORNING WHEN IT WAS FROSTY I CLOSED THE DOOR AND THE "DOOR AJAR" ALARM POSTED AGAIN. I OPENED THE DOOR AND CLOSED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND THE ALARM WENT AWAY. FROM THIS I THOUGHT THE STRIKER NEEDED TO BE ADJUSTED, I THOUGHT, "HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE DOOR SWITCH COULD HAVE FAILED ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 1.5 YEARS OLD?". I DROVE THE CAR FOR A FEW MORE DAYS AND AT THIS POINT THE ALARM WAS POSTING ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. AROUND THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER THE ALARM BEGAN POSTING ALL THE TIME. NOW, IT POSTS NEARLY 95% OF THE TIME WITH ONLY A FEW TIMES WHERE IT DOES NOT. THE ISSUE WITH THIS ALARM IS TWOFOLD: 1) IT KEEPS THE DOME LIGHTS ON BECAUSE THE SYSTEM DOES NOT SEE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE CAR AND LOCK IT, THUS THE TIMER MUST TIME OUT (AROUND 20 MINUTES) AND THE LIGHTS TURN OFF. 2) THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM BEING LOCKED WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST ONE IS THE ONE THAT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BECAUSE THIS, TO ME, IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR WENT ON. WHEN THAT GOES ON WHEN BACKING UP YOU CAN'T SEE BECAUSE THE DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT CREATES A GLARE MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHAT IS BEHIND YOU. THE DOME LIGHT WILL FINALLY SHUT OFF WHEN YOU GO FORWARD WHEN A CERTAIN SPEED IS MEET. ALSO WHEN THE DOME LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR IT WILL NOT LOCK THE DOOR. THIS SENSOR ON MY CAR WAS CLEANED ON 7/31/14 BY A FORD DEALER. THIS ONLY LASTED ABOUT SIX MONTH AND I JUST HAD IT THE DOOR LATCH REPLACED ON 1/13/15 BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. RECENTLY I WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE A SNOW STORM IN WHICH IT TOOK ME 2-1/2 HOURS TO GET HOME. MY TYPICAL COMMUTE HOME IS 45 MINUTES. WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC 5:00 PM ON 1/8/15 THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR CAME ON. THE TRAFFIC WAS MOVING SLOW, MY DOME LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR OVER AN HOUR WHICH CREATING A GLARE WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD NEVER SHUT OFF BECAUSE I NEVER REACHED THE FORWARD SPEED FAST ENOUGH TO TURN IT OFF, ALSO EVERY TIME I LET MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK A BELL WOULD SOUND. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS UNTIL FORD ISSUES A RECALL. IT IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGES. I FEEL THAT WITH THE GLARE CAUSED BY THE DOME LIGHT STAYING ON CREATES A HAZARD TO BOTH ME AND MY FAMILY AND FORD SHOULD HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR
THREE OF THE FOUR WHEELS HAVE THE CHROME-PLATING PEELING AWAY. VERY SHARP EDGES WHERE PEELING. SOME WHEELS WORSE THAN ANOTHER. *TR
DRIVERS DOOR READING DOOR AJAR WHEN THE DOOR IS NOT AJAR. OPENED AND CLOSED MULTIPLE TIMES AND SENSOR WILL STILL NOT READ THAT DOOR IS CLOSED SOMETIMES. CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN DOOR IS OBVIOUSLY CLOSED AND SENSOR WILL START ALARMING AND DOME LIGHT COMES ON. *TR
AT LEAST FIVE SEPARATE TIMES, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED, MY 2013 FORD EDGE WILL BEGIN TO HESITATE AND SHUDDER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGINS TO FLASH AND THEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. I CAN BARELY KEEP THE VEHICLE GOING AT ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR. I CAN GENERALLY COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR FREEWAY. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE I CAN TURN IT BACK ON AND RESTORE POWER TO DRIVE IT. IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE FORD DEALER SERVICE THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE AND REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. DESPITE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON, THE COMPUTER IS THROWING NO ERROR MESSAGES. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE AND SCARY SITUATION. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN. TO DO SO WOULD PUT MYSELF IN DANGER, MY PASSENGERS AND OTHER DRIVERS IN DANGER. I HAVE APPLIED TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR A BUY BACK UNDER THEIR "REACQUISITION PROGRAM" BUT WAS TOLD ON JANUARY 8, 2015 THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY UNDER CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW. I WAS GIVEN NO EXPLANATION OR OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS DECISION WITH FORD. MY PROBLEM SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THIS ARTICLE, ALTHOUGH MY EDGE IS A 4-CYLINDER WITH AN ECO-BOOST ENGINE. HTTP://WWW.THECARCONNECTION.COM/NEWS/1084213_FORD-OWNERS-FILE-LAWSUIT-CLAIM-ECOBOOST-ENGINE-LOSES-POWER-DURING-ACCELERATION. *TR
DOOR AJAR SIGN COMES ON DUE TO SENSOR FAILURE ON DRIVER DOOR WHICH TURNS LIGHTS ON IN VEHICLE AND "SHIFT TO PARK" NOTICE COMES UP WHILE DRIVING.
DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS COMING ON WHILE DRIVING. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WITH THIS ON WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. DOOR AJAR LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND THE ALERT CHIME SOUNDS. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ AND FORD NOT TAKING CARE OF THE COST TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD COVER THIS SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
DRIVER DOOR LATCH SENSOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT DOOR IS CLOSED. STARTED AS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM NOW ALARM IS ON ALL THE TIME. CAN HEAR SWITCH CLICK WHEN MANUALLY OPERATED BUT DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL NOT GO OUT. THIS PREVENTS VARIOUS OTHER THINGS FROM OPERATING PROPERLY INCLUDING SAFETY FEATURES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT FORD HAS INSTALLED IN MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES. EVERY WHERE I TURN THERE ARE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. MOST OF THESE CARS ARE NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD. *TR
DRIVER DOOR IS ALWAYS AJAR ON THE DASH PANEL. THIS CAUSES THE DOORS NOT TO LOCK WHEN INSIDE THE CAR AND IS VERY ANNOYING WHEN IT DINGS/RINGS EVERYTIME YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I BELIEVE IT IS THE SENSOR AND I AM NOT WILLING TO PAY $150.00 AT THE DEALERSHIP JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS AND THEN PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE CAR IS NOT THAT OLD AND SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE. WHILE RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. VERY DISAPPOINTING. *JS
DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AJAR WHEN THE DOOR IS POSITIVELY SHUT. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO SHUT THE DOOR FAIL TO TURN OFF INTERIOR LAMPS AND LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE I CAN NOT DEPICT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FAULTY SWITCH OR MY CHILD ACTUALLY OPENING ONE OF THE VEHICLE DOORS. FROM THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE I AM APPALLED AT THE LACK OF RESPONSE FROM FORD AND THE NTSB. DO CHILDREN HAVE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES BEFORE A RECALL IS INITIATED? SHAME ON YOU! *JS
DRIVER SIDE DOOR SAYS IT'S NOT CLOSED AND LIGHTS STAYS ON IN DASH SAYING DOOR IS AJAR, BELL RINGS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF, AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF SLAMMING THE LIGHT GOES OUT. IT'S SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE LOCK SENSOR, BUT FORD HAS NOT RECALLED IT. I TRIED SPRAYING WD- 40 IN LOCK AREA REALLY DIDN'T HELP IT . WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 300.00-500.00 TO REPAIR. COME ON FORD?????? *TR
WHEN CLOSE DOOR IT SAYS DOOR AJAR AND DOOR AJAR COMES ON AND DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT 60 PERCENT OF THE TIME. *TR
DRIVERS DOOR IS CLOSED BUT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. SOME TIME TURNS ON WHILE DRIVING. *TR
THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS IS CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON DURING THE NIGHT TIME AND THE DOORS CANNOT LOCK. MY CHILD IS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR WHILE MOVING CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WHEN WE TOOK IT IN AND KNOWS THIS IS A DEFECT, BUT WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE REQUIRE US TO PAY 300-500 DOLLARS TO FIX. PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL THIS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY LAWYER TO SEE WHAT FURTHER STEPS WE CAN TAKE. *TR
"DOOR AJAR" LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF AND INTERIOR LIGHTS AND PANEL LIGHT LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF AFTER DOOR IS SHUT AND LOCKED. HAVE TO REOPEN DOOR AND START ENGINE, OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVER DOOR SEVERAL ITEMS TO GET INTERIOR LIGHTS, PANEL LIGHTS AND "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT TO GO OFF. ONLY HAPPENS WITH DRIVER DOOR. *TR
DRIVE DOOR LATCH - DOOR AJAR SIGNAL WILL NOT CLEAR - DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON I N DRIVER DOOR ALMOST EVERYTIME YOU SHUT THE DOOR NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU SLAM IT. IT TAKES SEVERAL TIMES FOR B THE SIGNAL TO GO OFF. THIS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL COME ON RANDOMLY AND ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON MAKING IT HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT. ALSO THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK IF THE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL IS TURNED ON. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I AM NOT HAPPY. THIS IS A NEWER VEHICLE AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS 500 TO FIX THIS. WHEN THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE! *TR
THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL COME ON ALONG WITH INTERIOR LIGHT AT RANDOM TIMES. IT HAPPENS WHEN FIRST ENTERING THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING AND ALSO WHEN DRIVING AT ALL TIMES THROUGH THE DAY. THE ONLY FIX WE'VE FOUND IS SLAMMING THE DOOR SHUT A FEW TIMES. *TR
THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES AND ALL THREE TIMES WERE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I WAS LUCKY TO NOT BE HIT FROM BEHIND. I WILL BE DRIVING AND I SUDDENLY GET A WRENCH LIGHT ON MY DASH BOARD AND THEN LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE MY CAR AND IT BASICALLY COASTS TO A STOP AND I CAN FEEL A SHAKING/RUMBLING FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF, I CAN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT IS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE LIGHT GOES AWAY AND I CAN CONTINUE DRIVING HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CAN ONLY FIX IT IF THEY SEE THE WRENCH LIGHT ON SO THEY CAN PULL THE CODE, MEANING I HAVE TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHILE STILL ON. ONLY PROBLEM IS EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED HAS BEEN AFTER WORK AT NIGHT WHEN THE DEALERS ARE ALREADY CLOSED. I AM NOW NERVOUS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND AM AFRAID TO GET ON HIGHWAYS. *TR
DOOR AJAR DRIVERS SIDE. TOOK IT INTO FORD AND THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED TO BE CLEANED, CHARGED ME 100. NOW IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN 9 MONTHS LATER... ANNOYED. *TR
THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. THIS RESULTS IN CONTINUES ALERTS AND BEEPS WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON WHEN AWAY FROM VEHICLE. NO MATTER HOW HARD I SLAM THE DOOR I CONTINUE TO GET A MESSAGE THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG FORD EDGE VEHICLES AS DESCRIBED IN MANY USER FORUMS ONLINE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
SUBMISSION FROM CONSTITUENT RE 2013 FORD EDGE ENGINE STALL. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, THE VEHICLE SHOOK, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, ALL WITHIN SECONDS OF THE VEHICLE STALLING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. *JB
I PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY ON THE 11/23/2014 , L HAD TO BACK UP A LITTLE BIT THEN PARKED. WHEN L WAS GOING TO THE GARBAGE BIN L NOTICED OIL ON THE GROUND, WHICH WAS NEVER THERE. I TOUCHED THE GROUND WITH MY FINGER AND SMELT IT, REALIZED THAT IT WAS FRESH MOTOR OIL. THIS IS A 2013 VEHICLE. THERE IS NO OTHER VEHICLE THAT PARKS AT THAT SPOT, JUST TO REITERATE THE FACT THAT THE OIL CAME FROM MY VEHICLE. *TR
FOGGY MORNING, WENT TO PASS A SEMI TRUCK AND THE ENGINE DECELERATED WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PASS THE SEMI, HAD TO MOVE BACK, PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. CONTINUED ON AFTERWARDS, NO PROBLEMS. *TR
DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED. *TR
DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS ALL DOORS FROM BEING IN THE LOCKED POSITION WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. MANUALLY LOCKING THE DOORS IS OVERRIDDEN BY THE SYSTEM AND AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKED. ANNOYING ALARM ALWAYS GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING OR IDLE. NOT KNOWN IF SENSOR MALFUNCTION OR DOOR NOT ACTUALLY CLOSED PROPERLY. SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR REPAIR. *TR
FEDERAL SHOULD START INVESTIGATE ON THE EDGE ISSUES, I HAVE RESEARCHED ON PEOPLE WHO OWN FORD EDGE, THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING NOW. MY 2013 EDGE IS HAVING A SMELL RUBBER OR BURNING WHEN YOU HARD ON THE GAS PEDAL AND WILL SMELL BURNING, THAT WILL CAUSE MY WIFE AND I HAVE A HEADACHE REALLY BAD FROM THIS SMELL. I KEEP TOOK MY SUV TO THE FORD, BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM BUT OVER 81 PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT ISSUES SO I THINK IT IS TIME FOR FEDERAL TO TAKE THE ACTION! I AM CONSIDER TO HIRE THE LAWYER AND SUE FORD BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT FORD DO KNOWS BUT WON'T ADMIT IT. *TR
DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS ALL DOORS FROM BEING IN THE LOCKED POSITION WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. MANUALLY LOCKING THE DOORS IS OVERRIDDEN BY THE SYSTEM AND AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKED. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPERATED THE VEHICLE WITH THE DOORS IN THE LOCKED POSITION. *TR
WHILE DRIVING - EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING SIGN APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN ACCOMPANIED BY THE SOUND OF A CHIME. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU OPEN AND SHUT THE DRIVER DOOR WHETHER WHILE STILL DRIVING OR IF AND WHEN YOU FIND A SIDE OF THE ROAD SPACE, THE WARNING SIGN DISAPPEARS. BUT OFTENTIMES, IT TAKES 3 OR FOUR TRIES TO MAKE IT DISAPPEAR. SOMETIMES THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING COMES WITH AN INSTRUCTION TO SHIFT TO P (PARK) . . . . WHICH IS HELPFUL IF YOU CAN FIND A SIDE OF THE ROAD SPOT OTHERWISE THE INSTRUCTION WILL JUST CONFUSE A NOVICE DRIVER AND COULD POTENTIALLY CREATE AN ACCIDENT. I SEARCH THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON WITH FORD EDGE. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY CREATE AN ACCIDENT AND WARRANTS A RECALL. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWS DRIVER AJAR WHEN DOOR IS NOT AJAR. DOOR HAS TO BE OPENED AND CLOSED REPEATEDLY UNTIL INSTRUMENT PANEL NO LONGER SHOWS DRIVER DOOR AJAR. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY COME ON WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING CABIN LIGHTS TO COME ON, WHICH IS ESPECIALLY HAZARDOUS WHEN IT IS DARK OUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE FORD VEHICLES AND MUST BE ADDRESSED. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND CHIMES WILL STAY ON EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVERS DOOR IS OBVIOUSLY CLOSED. NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU CLOSE THE DOOR IT STILL DOES THIS . THIS PROBLEM ALSO WILL NOT ALLOW THE DOORS TO BE LOCKED WHILE DRIVING . THAT IS A HAZARD ! ALSO, WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED, THE HEAD LINER LIGHTS STAY LIT FOR 10 MINUTES UNTIL THE COMPUTER DEFAULTS THEM TO TURN OFF. BECAUSE THE SENSOR THINKS THE DOOR IS AJAR. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS A HAZARD, DO BEING ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING IS UNACCEPTABLE:( *TR
DOOR AJAR KEEPS COMING ON WHEN GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE. IN THE PAST MONTH ITS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. I START BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT DINGS SO I HAVE PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND REOPEN DRIVER DOOR AND SLAM SHUT TO GET IT TO TURN OFF. ITS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. *TR
I HAVE A 2013 FORD EDGE SE WITH DRIVER DOOR ISSUE OF NOT LOCKING EVEN IF DOOR IS SHUT. DOOR CHIME COMES ON LETTING ME KNOW THAT THE DOOR IS NOT SHUT EVEN THOUGH IT IS. IF THE DOOR IS NOT REGISTERING WITH THE MODULE SAYING IT IS SHUT WHAT IMPACT WITH THIS HAVE ON THE AIR BAGS GOING OFF WHEN NEEDED. *TR
DRIVER DOOR SWITCH NOT LETTING MODULE KNOW THE DOOR IS CLOSED. DOOR WOULD HAVE TO BE OPENED AND CLOSED MULTIPLE TIME BEFORE MODULE OR SWITCH WOULD PICK IT UP. WHAT AFFECT WILL THIS HAVE ON THE AIR BAGS IF I NEED THEM? *TR
OUR 2013 EDGE WILL GO TO IDLE AND STOP PULLING RANDOMLY, THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THEN IT WILL RESET. THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY WITH MY WIFE DRIVING VEHICLE ON A ENTRANCE RAMP AT NIGHT, CARS COMING ONTO RAMP ALMOST HIT HER BECAUSE IT IS NOT WELL LIT THERE. WILL NOT LET HER DRIVE VEHICLE ANY MORE UNTIL WE CAN GET A THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED WITH THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. FORD NEEDS TO SEND OUT A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS FAILURE!!!!!! *TR
WARNING COME ON THAT THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T. I HAVE TO SLAM THE DOOR SHUT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT GOES OFF. THE OTHER DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND ENDANGERS MY CHILD BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO CANNOT LOCK THE DOORS WHEN LEAVING IT PARKED IF THIS HAPPENS. THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY MANY PEOPLE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY NHTSA WILL NOT ACT ON THIS. *TR
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.
