2010 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

My car has a faulty latch system in the driver side door. My door is completely shut however the warning light for an open door stays on and I am unable to lock my car while driving as this light stays on. This is also causing my lights to stay on as well. This is a safety concern because I have 2 children and I cannot lock my doors from the inside of my car while the car is in motion. I hit the lock button and since my car is showing that there is an open door, they immediately unlock and stay that way, which is a safety issue not only for myself but my children as well. I’ve had this issue for a couple of years now and went online and saw that several other ford edge owners have had the same problem.

HARD, CLUNKING NOISE/VIBRATION/IMPACT WHEN STARTING VEHICLE, SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, REVERSE TO PARK, REVERSE TO DRIVE, DRIVE TO REVERSE, PARK TO DRIVE, AND DRIVE TO PARK. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VIOLENTLY. LOSE SPEED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER GO BLANK, NO DISPLAY. LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOUND WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF SEARCH.

MY 2010 EDGE IS DEALING WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT, A WRENCH, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL COMING ON AND OFF WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE (IN PARK OR IN ANY DRIVING CONDITION). WHEN THESE LIGHTS COME ON I PRETTY MUCH LOSE THE ABILITY TO BREAK ON MY OWN, IT RESISTS AND GRINDS WHEN BREAKING WITH THE LIGHTS ON. THE LIGHTS CAN COME AND GO FOR DAYS AT A TIME OR FOR ONLY A FEW MILES. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HESITATES ON TAKE OFF WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE ON. CODE READER DOESN'T REALLY TELL US ANYTHING USEFUL. IF CODES ARE CLEARED IT EVENTUALLY WILL COME BACK ON AND CONTINUE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM BY WHAT I'M FINDING, FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THIS WIRING/ELECTRICAL ISSUE. ANOTHER THING, THE SEATBELT LIGHT AND ALARM WILL NOT STOP GOING OFF, EVEN IF YOU ARE IN PARK FOR A WHILE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND I AM FAR FROM IMPRESSED.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT CONTINUALLY WENT ON AND OFF WHILE IN MOTION WHETHER ON A HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. NOTICED IT ALSO WENT ON DURING LEFT TURNS. DOOR LOCKS ON ALL DOORS WOULD CLICK ON AND OFF AT STOPS. I WASN'T SURE THAT DOORS WERE LOCKED WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. INTERNAL LIGHTS WOULD ALSO GO ON AN OFF. COMMON ISSUE ON THE INTERNET WITH FORD EDGES. IT'S ALL OVER AND FOR YEARS. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND HAD TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED AT A COST OF $542.83. I BELIEVE FORD NEEDS TO PAY FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THE PART NUMBER TO REPLACE WAS THE LATCH PART NUMBER 8T4Z 78264A27 A. SO A NEW DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED ALONG WITH THE REPAIR OF A WIRE IN THE DOOR HARNESS NEAR THE LH SIDE OF THE DOOR SPEAKER. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE.

I HAD THIS CAR IN A FORD GARAGE BACK IN JANUARTY I HAD TO SPEND OVER $2000.00 BECAUSE ONE OF THE ENGINE COILS BURNED UP AND DAMAGED THE COMPUTER FOR THE ENGINE. I WAS TOLD THE OTHERS SHOULD BE REPLACED ALSO, BUT COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE OF NO MONEY. AND ALSO THE BRAKES, ROTORS CALIPERS ON FRONT OF THIS CAR ARE A MESS. I HAD TO REPLACE EVERY BIT OF IT ALSO. THIS CARS SUCKS I HATE IT BUT /

WHILE IN MOTION ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON AND A WARNING BEEP WOULD GO OFF. IT DID THIS FOR 2 DAYS, TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED THEY TOLD ME A NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. BOUGH THE BATTERY AND I STILL HAD SAME ISSUE. NOW THE CAR WON'T START AND THE FORD RETAILER WANTS $125 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR.

'TAKATA RECALL' I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND UNSAFE WITH MY FORD EDGE , FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP OR IN IDLE. THERE IS NO CODES OR ANY WARNING SIGNS THAT COMES UP . THE CAR JUST LOSSES POWER AND SHITS OFF ON ITS OWN. I AM TIRED OF FIXING AND SPENDING MONEY BEHIND MY FORD EDGE I KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS RECENTLY REPLACED LAST YEAR JULY UNDER WARRANTY ALSO I REPLACED ALL TENSIONS AND THE WATER PUMP ALSO SPARK PLUGS . I TOOK IT TO MY MAIN MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE PROBLEM HE TOLD ME TO GO TO FORD AND I WENT TO FORD AND THEY TOOK 2 DAYS TO TELL ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE PROBLEM . TODAY I WAS ON MY WAY HOME ON THE HIGHWAY I COME TO SLOW DOWN GETTING OFF ON MY EXIT AND THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL GETS TIGHT AND I CAN'T MOVE OR TURN IT . THERE WAS CARS NEXT TO ME AND BEHIND ME AND IN FRONT I COULD OF GOT HURT OR PUT OTHERS IN DANGER . THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR FORD TO HAVE VECHILES OUT ON THE ROAD LIKE THIS WITH NOT SOURCE OF HOW TO FIX IT OR ANY WARNING LIGHT.

BURNED 2ND COIL PACK AND WIRING HARNESS. BURNT UP RADIATOR FAN AND UPPER RADIATOR HOSE. FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED TO PUT OUT. CAR IS AT LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE HOW AND WHY FIRE STARTED.

I AM REPORTING A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE WARNING MONITOR SENSOR SYSTEMS ON MY 2010 FORD EDGE. AS YOU MAY KNOW THERE IS A 'DOOR AJAR SENSOR' NOTIFICATION SYSTEM NOTIFYING THE DRIVER OF A DOOR BEING AJAR. THE PROBLEM IS THE SENSOR CONSTANTLY FAILS WHEN THE DOOR IS NOT AJAR OR SEEMS TO NOT BE AJAR. THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WHEN THERE IS THE DISPLAY ONE: 'NOT SURE DOORS ARE LOCKED, ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE IS TRANSPORTING CHILDREN. 'CAN NOT LOCK THE CAR DOORS ' THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. ALSO, WITH THE GREAT INCREASE IN 'CAR JACKINGS', NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS MAKES THE FAMILY VERY VULNERABLE. 'NEXT, THE DISPLAY LEAVES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON PUTTING AN UNNECESSARY DRAIN ON THE CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS COULD ADVERSELY SAFETY OF THE OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS CAUSING A FAILURE IN TRAFFIC. 'THE WARNING MESSAGE NEVER TIMES OUT AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY PREVENTING OTHER WARNING MESSAGES OR THE SYSTEM BACK UP OBSERVATION FROM WORKING. FORD HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED...WENT TO START VEHICLE...BRIGHT LIGHT INDICATOR WAS ON DASHBOARD, UNABLE TO MOVE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK UNLESS MANUALLY DONE, WHEN VEHICLE STARTS ALL INDICATORS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL COMES ON, NOTICES UNDER THE COMPUTER OUTPUT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATES A HOST OF PROBLEMS, SO BASICALLY THE COMPUTER HAS FAILED TO SOME NATURE CAUSING ERRORS TO SHOW. HAZARDS DON'T WORK, BRAKE AND TURN SIGNALS DON'T WORK, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL START AT LEAST UNTIL THE BATTERY IS DEAD FROM THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RUN IT OUT. HAD THIS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY TWICE THIS IS THE THIRD OCCURRENCE WITHOUT DETERMINATION OF PROBLEM. VEHICLE HAS TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR...I BELIEVE RESETTING THE COMPUTER IS THE ONLY OPTION BECAUSE DIAGNOSTICS RUN DO NOT INDICATE A KNOWN PROBLEM. MY BELIEF IS THAT AFTER 3 OCCURRENCES OF THIS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR IS A STRONG ELECTRICAL STORM OCCURRING PRIOR TO THE COMPUTER FAILING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN HIT BY LIGHTNING, BUT, THERE HAS BEEN HEAVY STRIKES AROUND OR NEAR THE VEHICLE THAT UPSET THE COMPUTER...JURY IS STILL OUT ON MY THEORY, BUT THIS IS WHAT I HAVE OBSERVED. *TR

2010 FORD EDGE LIMITED AWD CANNOT SEE THE SPEEDOMETER AT DUSK OR WHEN OVERCAST SKYS. CONTACTED FORD SERVICE CENTER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT REDESIGN THE CAR AND THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. TRIED TO FIND OUT HOW TO KEEP THE SPEEDOMETER LIGHTS (ALL DASH LIGHTS) ON ALL THE TIME AND WAS TOLD IT COULD NOT BE DONE. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, MAINLY THE SPEEDOMETER, ON MY 2010 FORD EDGE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ UNDER SOME DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS. THE GAUGES ARE DARK GRAY BACKGROUND WITH BLACK NUMBER GRADUATIONS WHILE LIGHTS ARE OFF AND RED NEEDLE. ESPECIALLY DURING DAWN AND DUSK CONDITIONS WITH A CLOUDY SKY, SHORTLY AFTER SUN-UP AND SHORTLY BEFORE SUN-DOWN, WHILE SKY IS STILL QUITE BRIGHT AND ROADWAY IS DARKENING, AND YOUR DRIVING FACING THE SUN, THE SPEEDOMETER IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ. A QUICK GLANCE SHOWS ONLY THE RED NEEDLE WITH DARK BACKGROUND. IT TAKES CLOSE TO 5 SECONDS FOR EYES TO ADJUST BEFORE NUMBERS CAN BE READ AND YOU CAN SEE VEHICLE SPEED. SITUATION IS NOT IMPROVED WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON DURING THESE CONDITIONS. NUMBERS TURN FROM BLACK TO GREEN WITH ILLUMINATION AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH CONTRAST WITH GRAY BACKGROUND DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS TO IMPROVE CONDITION. ON RAINY DAYS WITH DARK ROAD CONDITIONS AND SKY IS SOMEWHAT BRIGHTER, THE SAME CONDITION EXISTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN, EVEN THOUGH IT IS CLOUD COVERED. IT TAKES SO LONG FOR EYES TO ADJUST SO SPEEDOMETER CAN BE READ THAT YOU COULD RUN OFF THE ROAD OR INTO SOMEONE. ALSO, UNDER MOST DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS, THE METRIC SCALE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO READ, REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG YOU TRY TO FOCUS ON IT. *TR

HELLO I DON'T WANT TO WASTE TIME GOING INTO DETAIL WITHOUT KNOWING WHETHER SOMEONE AT FORD WILL GET THIS...SO LET ME JUST SAY THAT I HAVE BEEN WITH FORD SINCE 1988 WHEN I BOUGHT A BRONCO. IN 1992, I BOUGHT AN EDDIE BAUER EXPLORER AND HAVE HAD EXPLORERS UP UNTIL THIS PAST YEAR WHEN I BOUGHT YOUR CROSSOVER, THE EDGE. IT IS A NICE CAR, RIDES NICELY BUT HAS A LOT OF ROAD NOISE THAT I DID NOT EXPERIENCE WITH THE EXPLORERS. MY BIGGEST CONCERN/PROBLEM IS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS TUCKED DEEP INTO THE RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE DASH AND CAN NOT BE SEEN DURING MOST OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. SEEING IT DEPENDS ON HOW THE LIGHT IS COMING IN. I HAVE CAUGHT MYSELF GOING 80 AND NOT REALIZING IT SINCE THE DIAL IS JUST ONE BIG BLACK CIRCLE. DURING RAIN STORMS, THE LIGHTS COME ON, THE RED INDICATORS ARE LIT, BUT THE SPEED NUMBERS ARE LOST IN THE DARK. THIS, I BELIEVE, IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR WHERE THE CRUCIAL SPEED DIAL CAN NOT BE SEEN. I THINK THAT YOUR FORD ENGINEERS GOOFED ON THIS DESIGN. THE TACH ON THE LEFT SIDE IS ALWAYS VISIBLE....BUT NOT THE SPEEDOMETER. CAN YOU HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH HE WAS UNABLE TO VIEW THE SPEED ODOMETER. DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER IS ONLY ABLE TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER AT NIGHT. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST THE CONTACT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON AUGUST 19, 2009. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10.
