2012 FORD EDGE Exterior Lighting Problems

MY VEHICLE EXHIBITS ILLUMINATED DOME LIGHTS AND DOOR AJAR MESSAGES WHEN DOORS ARE FULLY CLOSED. I GET ERROR MESSAGES INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING OF DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ALSO STAY ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN I HAVE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LOCKED THE DOORS, DRAINING BATTERY. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF FORD'S VOLUNTARY EXTENSION OF DOOR LATCH WARRANTY THROUGH JULY 2020. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT. MY CAR BEGAN EXHIBITING THE DEFECT IN NOVEMBER 2020. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM ALARMED AND CANNOT SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS SUDDENLY POP ON. I ALSO FEAR MY CHILD WILL OPEN THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING AS THE "LOCK" FEATURE IS UNRELIABLE DUE TO THE DEFECT. IN ADDITION, IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO PARK MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT NOT KNOWING IF I WILL HAVE A DRAINED BATTERY LATER BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO SHUT OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS.

Mileage: 75,000

HEADLIGHTS HAVE BURNED OUT 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. BOTH HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT. BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAMS BURN OUT AT THE SAME TIME. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED WITHIN 3 MONTHS AND 1 HAS ALREADY BURNED OUT. THE DEALER IS RECOMMENDING REPLACEMENT OF BOTH ASSEMBLIES AT ACOST OF 1400+. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT INVOLVING THIS AREA.

Mileage: 120,000

SAFETY ISSUE DOOR AJAR LIGHT NOT TURNING OFF WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION POSING A SAFETY THREAT TO FAMILY. BATTERY HAS DIED MULTIPLE DAYS TIMES AND REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY.

MY DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR SENSOR KEEPS SAYING IT IS OPEN WHEN IT ISN'T. THIS CAUSES ME TO DRIVE WITH THE LIGHT ON UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF. WHEN I PARK AND LOCK THE CAR THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A LONG WHILE. AND THE ALARM EVEN BEEPS TWICE TELLING ME THE LIGHT IS ON/IT THINKS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN WHEN IT'S NOT.

Mileage: 80,000

MY CAR IS A 2012 FORD EDGE AND HAS HAD PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCHES AND THE LIGHTS, AND THE SHIFTER I HAVE HAD THIS CAR IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT DOING AGAIN. THE CAR WHEN STARTED IT SAY TO PUT IN PARK AND SHIFT TO DRIVE AND DOORS DOES NOT LOCK AND ALL THE LIGHTS STAY ON IN THE CAR

Mileage: 76,000

I GET READY TO START MY DAY AS USUAL I GO AND START MY VEHICLE (STATIONARY) TO WARM IT UP, AS I GOT READY TO SET THE TEMPERATURE IN THE SUV I NOTICED THE BOTTOM TOUCH PANEL DID NOT LIGHT UP. SO I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE HEAT THAT WAS BLOWING AND IT DIDNT TURN OFF, I TRIED AND AGAIN AND NOTHING. ITS TO HOT IN TEXAS WITH LITTLE CHILDREN TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT EFFECT THE AIR CONDITIONING. I PUSHED OTHER BUTTONS TO SEE IF ANYTHING WORKED AND STILL NOTHING, THE HAZARD LIGHTS WILL NOT FUNCTION NOR WILL THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS. MY FAMILY AND I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO MY DESTINATION AFTERWARDS I HAD THE FUSES TESTED THEY ARE GOOD, BUT WAS TOLD IT IS FRONT INTERFACE CONTROL MODULE. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND HOPEFULLY A FORD DEALERSHIP CAN GIVE A BETTER DIAGNOSIS THAN AUTO PART STORE.

Mileage: 105,000

WHEN I AM DRIVING TO WORK AT 5:00 AM DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL JUST COME ON. MY EDGE HAS INTERIOR LIGHTS THAT WON'T GO OFF DOOR AJAR IS ON THE DASHBOARD. LATE AT NIGHT WHEN MY CAR IS NOT IN MOTION AND MY LIGHTS JUST TURN ON MY HOME SECURITY SYSTEM HAS RECORDED IT SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CAR HAS SAT OFF FOR MANY HOURS. MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. FOR SAFETY REASONS THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE FORD COMPANY.

Mileage: 260,000

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON. WHEN I START DRIVING THE LIGHTS ARE ON UNTIL I MOVE A FEW FEET. I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK MY DOORS OR USE MY REMOTE START. IT HAS KILLED MY BATTERY. WHEN MY CAR IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS FAILING. DOOR AJAR MESSAGE STAYS ON WITH DOOR CLOSED (DRIVER'S) MAKING DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT WITH CONSTANT WARNING BEEPS AND DOME LIGHT ON (EVEN AT NIGHT). I HAVE TO OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES VERY HARD FOR IT TO GO AWAY. MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, AND APPARENTLY IT PROGRESSIVELY GETS WORSE UNTIL THEY HAVE CONSTANT BEEPING WARNING, DOME LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, DOORS THAT WON'T LOCK WHILE DRIVING AND THE CONSTANT RISK OF A DEAD BATTERY AFTER RETURNING TO THEIR PARKED VEHICLE. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY DUE TO THE DOME LIGHT STAYING ON AFTER PARKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND DESERVES A RECALL. THE CURRENT FIX APPARENTLY REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENTIRE LATCH FOR AROUND $400, EVERY TWO YEARS ON AVERAGE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

Mileage: 125,000

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN DEC 2013. I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THE VERY NEXT DAY DUE TO THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS ISSUE WITH THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR AND THE DOOR DOES NOT PROPERLY LATCH. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND IF I LOCK THE DOOR THEN THE ALARM GOES OFF ALL DAY OR NIGHT AT RANDOM. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE . I HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AJAR IS CONSTANTLY ON. I HAVE OPENED AND SHUT THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVEN TRIED TO DO WHAT SOME YOUTUBE VIDEOS HAVE SHOWN. DOME LIGHT SOMETIMES STAYS ON AFTER I PARK, SOMETIMES GOES OFF. I WILL HAVE A DEAD BATTERY AND PROBABLY ADDITIONAL COSTS UNLESS I WANT TO PAY $400+ TO FORD TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

Mileage: 98,000

THE DRIVER DOOR AND REAR DRIVER DOOR "DOOR AJAR" NOTIFICATION'S DO NOT TURN OFF, EVEN WHEN THE DOORS ARE CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY, AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START LATER. THIS ALSO PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND CAN NOT SEEM TO BE RESOLVED, EVEN AFTER A MECHANIC CLEANED AND LUBRICATED THE DOOR LATCHES.

FAULTY DOOR LATCH SENSOR ON REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON AS WELL.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, IT PREVENTS FROM MY DOORS FROM LOCKING AND I HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT HAS TRAPPED ME IN THE CAR, I HAD TO CLIMB OVER INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT AND EXIT OUT OF THAT DOOR. IT ALSO DRAINS MY BATTERY BECAUSE THE LIGHTS STAY ON IN THE CAR.

Mileage: 76,000

DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING WHILE DRIVING EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS SHUT. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. OVERHEAD LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE CAR IS PARKED. CAN MAKE THE CAR IDEAL FOR THEFT AND UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE THE DOORS WON'T LOCK.

Mileage: 12,000

DOOR LATCH WON'T CLOSE. SHOWS THAT DOOR IS AJAR AND THE LIGHTS ON INSIDE WON'T GO OFF BECAUSE THE DOOR LOOKS AS IF IT'S OPEN. IT HAPPENS EACH TIME THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS OPENED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW YEARS. IN 2014, I THOUGHT FORD HAD FIXED THE ISSUE AND I FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THEY ONLY CLEANED IT. HAVING TO PAY $588 FOR A NEW DOOR LATCH ISN'T GOOD ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

Mileage: 50,000

THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND THIS LEAVES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHICH IS A NIGHTTIME DRIVING HAZARD. THE DEALER SAYS THE LATCH IS DEFECTIVE AND FORD WILL NOT ASSIST IN THE REPAIR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING AND STATIONARY. DUE TO THE HIGH COST (OVER $550.00) PEOPLE ARE GOING TO IGNORE THE REPAIR AND THEN DRIVE IMPAIRED. SO HOW MANY ACCIDENTS ARE REQUIRED BEFORE FORD IS FORCED TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE? *TR

Mileage: 62,591

DOOR AJAR SENSOR ...THIS IS CAUSING MY DOME LIGHTS TO JUST COME ON GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND TANK GOODNESS WHEN THIS HAPPENED THERE WASN'T ANOTHER CAR NEAR ME BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO THEM BECAUSE IT BLINDED ME. ALSO MY DOORS WANT LOCK WHEN THIS SENSOR IS MESSING UP. I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE REPLACED AND NOW ANOTHER ONE I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND FORD WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT.

THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT LOCATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STAYS ON ALL OF THE TIME EVEN WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND FULLY LATCHED. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY, THE VEHICLE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON AND THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON IS PRESSED, THE DOORS LOCK AND THEN UNLOCK WITHIN A SECOND APART. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS EXITED AND LOCKED WITH THE REMOTE, THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ILLUMINATED.

Mileage: 30,000

SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING DOOR LATCH AND DOOR AJAR SENSOR. SENSOR HAS FAILED AND CONTINUES TO THINK THE DOOR IS AJAR WHICH CAUSES THE DOORS NOT ABLE TO LOCK, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON AND CAUSES WINDSHIELD GLARE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.

MY FORD EDGE,2012, HAD A "DOOR AJAR" WARNING AND IT REQUIRED SLAMMING THE DOOR VERY HARD TO GET THE WARNING REMOVED. MY LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON AFTER I PARKED AND AGAIN REQUIRE SLAMMING THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES. MY BACK UP CAMERA WILL WORK AND THEN NOT WORK MAKING THAT SAFETY FEATURE UNRELIABLE! I HAD THE DOOR LATCH REPLACED AT A COST OF 325 DOLLARS. OTHER FORD PRODUCTS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THESE PROBLEMS AND ARE UNDER A RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS NOT THE RESULT OF CARELESS TREATMENT BY MY WIFE OR ME. WE ARE BOTH OVER 70 YEARS OLD.

THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE DRIVER AND REAR LEFT PASSENGER DOORS ARE CLOSED. THE DOORS ARE CLOSED FIRMLY, BUT THE WARNING LIGHT STILL SHOWS THE DOORS TO BE OPEN. THE DOORS ARE CLOSED AND LOCKED, BUT THE CAR REGISTERS THEM AS OPEN, AND THUS KEEPS THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT ON ALONG WITH THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS OF THE CAR. WITHOUT NO WAY TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS THEY END UP DRAINING THE BATTERY.

Mileage: 65,000

VEHICLE SAYS THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS AJAR BUT THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND LATCHED. CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO LOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON.

BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR CLOSED SENSORS STOPPED WORKING. THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND THE DOOR LOCKS TO UNLOCK WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO GO OUT ONCE I REACH 10 MPH BUT THERE IS NO VISIBILITY WHEN BACKING UP AT NIGHT MAKING IT DANGEROUS FOR ME AND ANYONE THAT MIGHT BE BEHIND ME.

Mileage: 42,000

LIGHT COMES ON SAYING DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN, COME TO A STOP STARTS DINGING SHIFT TO PARK. CAR CANT BE LOCKED AT TIMES, AND WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING.

THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT CONTINUES TO ACTIVATE EVENTHOUGH MY DOOR IS CLEARLY CLOSED. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED AND NOW THE DRIVER "DOOR AJAR" IS ACTIVATED.

STARTED MALFUNCTIONING PRIOR TO WARRANTY EXPIRED AND I WOULD SLAM THE DOOR SHUT AND LIGHT WOULD GO OUT. BECAME MORE FREQUENT AND NOW IT STAYS LIT MOST OF THE TIME.. VERY AGGRAVATING.

Mileage: 35,000

FAULTY/FAILING DOOR LATCH SENSOR TRIGGERS "DOOR AJAR" INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SOUND WARNINGS WHILE ENGINE IS ON, CAUSING DOORS TO UNLOCK, INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON, AND CONTINUED SOUND WARNINGS WHENEVER VEHICLE ACCELERATES. WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND ENGINE IS OFF, SENSOR FAULT CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON FOR 10-MINUTE CYCLE THAT CANNOT BE MANUALLY OVERRIDDEN (PER FORD).

Mileage: 73,000

DOOR AJAR STAYS UN CAUSING INTERIOR KIGHTS TO REMAIN ON CAUSING SAFETY HAZARD AT NIGHT AND KILLS THE BATTERY. IT HAPPENS WHEN SITTING IN PARK AND WHILE DRIVING.

1) "SHIFT TO PARK" ERROR: HAVE TO CLICK THE SHIFTER ONE OR TWO TIMES TO CLEAR IT. UNTIL I DO, THE SEAT DOES NOT MOVE BACK FOR EXITING. 2) "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" ERROR: HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR, SOMETIMES ONLY ONCE, BUT USUALLY MANY TIMES IN ORDER TO CLEAR THE ERROR. 3) IF THE "DOOR" ERROR IS NOT CLEARED, THE "SHIFT" ERROR WILL APPEAR WHILE MOVING, WHENEVER I COME TO A STOP. ALSO, THE AUDIBLE SIGNAL WILL KICK IN. 4) AT TIMES THE DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE TOUCH OF MY HAND. I SUSPECT WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR LAST, THE "DOOR" ERROR WAS PROBABLY IN EFFECT. SERVICE: I ACTUALLY TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND ALL THEY COULD TELL ME WAS THAT THE SHIFTER HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $500. THEY COULDN'T EVEN FIND THE "DOOR" ERROR. I THINK THIS MERITS A RECALL NOTICE AND FORD SHOULD REPAIR THESE PROBLEMS AT NO OR REASONABLE COSTS.

Mileage: 54,000

PASSENGER DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. SYSTEM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE HAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND WILL NOT ALLOW DOORS TO LOCK POSING SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO THE DOME LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF DUE TO THE SENSOR NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. EVEN AFTER REPEATEDLY SHUTTING DOOR (OVER 10 TIMES) THE SENSOR WILL POP ON DURING DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE. DONE LIGHTS REMAIN ON AFTER CAR IS TURNED OFF WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY.

THE DOOR SENSOR SAYS THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT AND STAYS ON. THIS DOES NOT ALLOW THE DOOR LOCKS TO CLOSE AND IS UNSAFE. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO GO ON AND STAY ON FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.

Mileage: 35,000

DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR IS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE'S INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL INDICATE THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS FIRMLY CLOSED. THIS ALERT OFTEN APPEARS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN I EXIT THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM OCCURS, THIS WILL PREVENT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FROM GOING OUT AND IT WILL PREVENT THE SECURITY SYSTEM FROM ARMING. THIS PROBLEM IS DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE ALERTS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTING, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THE ISSUE HAS ALSO RESULTED IN THEFT FROM MY VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF, THE DOME LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF AS THE SENSOR INDICATES THE DOOR IS OPEN. WHILE PARKED OUTSIDE MY HOUSE, MY VEHICLE WAS BROKEN INTO WITHOUT THE ALARM SOUNDING, RESULTING IN THEFT OF PERSONAL ITEMS INCLUDING CHECKS, CASH, AND ELECTRONICS. THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY HAS ALSO DRAINED OVERNIGHT TO THE POINT OF NEEDING A JUMP START.

Mileage: 55,000

THE LATCH DOOR AJAR DOME LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN THE FOO IS CLOSED

EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED, THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR LIGHT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN COME ON AND THEN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL ALSO COME ONE WHICH IS VERY HAZARDOUS IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT. ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU CANNOT LOCK THE DOORS WHICH MAKES IT NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN OR ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES WHOM MAY BE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR AS WELL. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SLAM THE DOOR ABOUT 15 TIMES BEFORE IT STOPS OR IT MIGHT NOT STOP AT ALL.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR CENSOR WOULD NOT GO OFF DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE DOOR WAS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THIS CAUSED MY DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON, THE CAR SYMBOL TO STAY ILLUMINATED ON THE PANEL, THE DOORS TO STAY UNLOCKED, AND THE WARNING TONE TO SOUND WHILE DRIVING. ALL OF THESE ISSUES OCCUR WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE IN MOTION. I HAD THE PAR REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR $387 AND AFTER ONE YEAR AND TWO WEEKS THE PROBLEM HAS STARTED TO REOCCUR IN THE SAME FASHION.

Mileage: 75,000

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR REPEATEDLY COMES ON, DOME LIGHT ILLUMINATES, MESSAGE TO PUT IN PARK SHOWS. CALLED FORD MOTOR CO. WHO REPORTS NO RECALL!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT PROHIBITS DOOR LOCKING, TURNS ON INTERIOR LIGHT DURING NIGHT DRIVING. FORD ADVISED THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS WOULD BE COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOW CAN THAT BE? ALL THEY COULD DO WAS GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER IF IT EVER TURNS INTO A RECALL. EVEN IF OUT OF WARRANTY, THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A LATENT MANUFACTURE SAFETY DEFECT! LEAVES ME WONDERING HOW MANY OWNERS NEED TO REPORT MUCH LESS BE INJURED BEFORE FORD TAKES CARE OF IT. I WOULD ADVISE ALL WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS TO REPORT TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Mileage: 64,000

THE PANEL SHOWS DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AFTER CAR HAS BEEN LOCKED FOR SOME TIME THE LIGHTS GO ON EVEN IF THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR A WHILE WHILE THE DOOR AJAR IS ON, THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK-SAFETY ISSUE, CAR IN MOTION I TRIED GETTING THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM TO REPAIR IT, THEY STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT RECALLS ON MY ISSUES. BUT IF I WANTED IT REPAIRED IT WOULD COST ME $350.00 TO CHANGE THE SENSOR THAT MAY BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE DEALER SOLD ME A LEMON...THE DOOR AJAR COMES UP AS I CLOSE THE LEFT DOOR AS I PUT THE CAR IN MOTION;THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION; INTERIOR LIGHTS IS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED; THE LIGHTS GO ON WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THE BATTERY HAS DIED A COUPLE OF TIMES AS A RESULT OF THIS.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE IT STARTED OUT EVERY NOW AND THEN. NOW ITS CONSTANT THIS MORNING RAN MY BATTERY DOWN CAUSING CRAZY THINGS TO GO ON WITH ELECTRICAL. THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON SO AT NIGHT DRIVING IS BOTHERSOME, AND THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT WORK.

Mileage: 31,000

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.

Mileage: 20,500

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.

Mileage: 27,000

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.

Mileage: 34,000

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.

Mileage: 50,750

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.

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.

THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT SECURELY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, PARTICULARLY IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WE HAD THIS FIXED ONCE FOR OVER $150 AT A DEALERSHIP. NOW LESS THAN A YEAR LATER WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 30,000

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT REGISTER AS CLOSED. THE CABIN LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE DOORS DON'T ALWAYS LOCK BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS NOT. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR I GET AN ALARM IN THE DASHBOARD THAT CONTINUALLY STATES THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS AJAR.

Mileage: 44,000

A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT BEGAN STAYING ON WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED PROPERLY. THIS CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO STAY ON INSIDE THE CAR ALONG WITH THE ANNOYING BEEPING SOUND. WHAT REALLY CONCERNS ME IS THAT I HAVE MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND BEING THAT THE DOORS WON'T LOCK AS THE LIGHT IS NOW ON CONTINUOUSLY, SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AT ANY TIME. JUST WAIT UNTIL THERE IS A MAJOR INJURY FROM THIS BEFORE BEING RECALLED, ISN'T THAT HOW IT USUALLY WORKS? *TR

Mileage: 40,000

WHEN I GET INTO THE CAR AND SHUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, I GET AN ERROR THE DOOR IS AJAR. CLEARLY IT IS NOT BUT A RELENTLESS BEEPING IS WARNING ME OF THE TROUBLE. THE DOOM LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR THE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR FIVE MINUTES, INDICATING A DOOR IS STILL OPEN. *TR

Mileage: 38,000

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY MAKING THE VEHICLE REACT AS THOUGH THE DOOR IS OPEN EVEN THOUGH IT IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING AND PREVENTS THE DOME LIGHT FROM TURNING OFF. THE DOOR AJAR ALARM AND LIGHT WILL NOT STOP ALERTING THE DRIVER TO THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, THERE IS A DANGER TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS WHILE MOVING. WHEN DOME LIGHT FAILS TO TURN OFF, THE CAR BATTERY CAN RUN DOWN PREVENTING THE CAR FROM STARTING. *TR

Mileage: 39,050

ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME -- AT ALL SPEEDS OF 0-75 -- THE WARNING LIGHT SHOWS THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR, WHICH CAUSES THE DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON, AND THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING IN THE CITY AND STOP AT A RED LIGHT -- ANYONE COULD OPEN THE DOOR AND GET INSIDE. WHEN THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ON, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY WHEN BACKING THE CAR. *TR

Mileage: 56,500

SAYS DOOR IS AJAR WHEN ITS NOT. DOME LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, WONT LOCK, AND BEEPS CONSTANTLY WHEN NOT IN PARK UNTIL I TRY TO CLOSE THE DOOR, THAT IS ALREADY CLOSED. HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE, OPEN AND CLOSE, OPEN AND CLOSE UNTIL IT TURNS OFF. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS IS NOT JUST AN ANNOYANCE ISSUE. *TR

MY 2012 FORD EDGE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES. ONE OF THEM BEING THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT. THIS WARNING LIGHT WILL KEEP MY INSIDE LIGHTS ON IF I AM NOT ABLE TO CLEAR THE WARNING. I USUALLY NEED TO SLAM THE DOOR A COUPLE OF TIMES AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THEN I NEED TO RESTART THE CAR AND CLOSE THE DOOR AND THEN TURN THE CAR OFF AND USUALLY THIS WILL CLEAR IT. I HEAR THIS IS HAPPENING TO QUITE A FEW FORD VEHICLES AND THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FOR A RECALL. IF YOU DON'T REALIZE THAT YOUR CARS INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON THEN IT COULD DRAIN YOUR BATTERY AND LEAVE YOU STRANDED. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON AND DOES NOT GO OFF. DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS TO STAY ON FOR SOME TIME MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE WARNING BELLS TO GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. A LIGHT WILL GO ON TELLING YOU TO SHIFT INTO PARK WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. VERY DISTRACTIVE. DOOR LOCKS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS IN ITSELF. DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS A FAULTY DOOR AJAR SENSOR. THEY WANT $500 TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE TO DRIVE. SEARCHING THE WEB SHOWS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FORD PRODUCTS THAT THEY ARE QUITE AWARE OF. I FEEL FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY RELATED ISSUES ON THEIR PRODUCTS AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO MAKE THESE CARS SAFE. THANK YOU *TR

VEHICLE STATES "DOOR AJAR WITH ALL DOORS PROPERLY CLOSED. COMPLAINT IS ONGOING. HERE IS THE ISSUE. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON AND REMAIN ON UNTIL VEHICLE IS GOING OVER 5MPH IN A FORWARD GEAR. YOU TOTALLY LOSE VISIBILITY TO BACK UP. YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING TO BACK UP. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEEING GOING FORWARD TO ATTAIN 5+ MPH TO TURN OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. THE PROBLEM IS MINIMALLY ANNOYING DURING DAYTIME HOURS AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. YOU ARE FORCED TO BACK UP TOTALLY BLIND. IT IS DANGEROUS YOU COULD BACK OVER A PEDESTRIAN, A FIXED OBJECT, OR ANOTHER CAR. FORD TOOK A RELIABLE AND SIMPLE PROCESS AND CREATED A DIFFICULT (AND EXPENSIVE) UNRELIABLE PROCESS AND IT IS FAILING ON SEVERAL CARS. *TR

WHEN IN DRIVE, AND DOOR CLOSED, DOOR AJAR INDICATOR CONSTANTLY DINGS. WHEN CONTACTING DEALERSHIP, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED ITS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE, YET FORD DOESN'T DEEM IT A SAFETY ISSUE, THEREFORE WON'T RECALL IT. IT IS A DISTRACTION, AND DOOR IS UNABLE TO BE LOCKED WHEN IN DRIVE, CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO, SINCE THE VEHICLE THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN, WHEN IN PARK AND LOCKED, INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF, LEADING TO BATTERY DRAIN. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, BEFORE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE IS. OF COURSE THE ISSUE HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER VEHICLE WENT OVER MILEAGE WARRANTY. DOOR LOCK WAS ALREADY REPLACED WITHIN A MONTH OF VEHICLE PURCHASE, AND THE SECOND ONE WENT BAD ALREADY. THOSE ONLY HAVE 1000 MILE WARRANTY ON REPLACEMENT PARTS, FORD IS KNOWINGLY PUTTING DEFECTIVE PARTS IN THE VEHICLES. *TR
