2012 FORD EDGE Structure Problems

I was t-boned in the intersection of [XXX] and [XXX] in Washington, Utah on [XXX]. The airbags did not deploy in my vehicle. I was not injured or receive medical care. However, its a safety violation somewhere I'm sure. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2012 Ford Edge -The passenger door will shut but the alarm that came with the car says that the door is not shut. The alarm will not work when the car detects the door is not shut, so the interior lights will not turn off. Will this affect my battery? When I drive with the sensor on the dashboard states the door is not closed and the interior light will not shut off which becomes a distraction at night. When driving the car, the locks will not work because the dashboard senses the door is not closed. This is a family car with a child still in a car seat. Anyone can jump in my car? There a lot of blogs I found with the same situation, so Ford must know that the problem exists. The door has not been damaged. This is not part of wear and tear because a door is something that need to open and close. The situation is getting worse and worse that when im driving the dashboard announces the closed door is now open and unlocks all my doors and turns on my interior lights on.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated that all four door latches were inoperable, causing the door ajar light to remain illuminated. The contact stated that the failure caused the battery to be drained. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 67,862.

I believe the sunroof package to be defective as well as the electric system that is connected to the systems. I have brought the issue up with the dealership and they did not perform a proper diagnostic on the part to report any issues. I believe this is a safety issue as the windows and back gate open without prompt. I don't use the sunroof because it hasn't opened since a short time after my purchase. When the sunroof opened I tried to close it and the element that closes it popped above my head and threw the panoramic glass off the track. I took the vehicle in to point of purchase and they did not perform a proper diagnostic on it to tell me whether it was safe to close or not. So if this could be resolved I would appreciate it. When I went online to trouble shoot a solution or cause I found similar cases of issue with the panoramic sunroof components. Thank you.

THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE VISTA PANORAMA SUNROOF. WHILE TRYING TO CLOSE MY SUNROOF, I STARTED HEARING LOUD POPPING SOUNDS. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO A MECHANIC TO GET THE SUNROOF CLOSED. I WAS LATER INFORMED THAT THE CLIPS ON THE GUIDES WERE BOTH BROKEN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, FORD IS MANUFACTURING CHEAP TRACKS THAT ARE HELD TOGETHER WITH PLASTIC CLIPS DESIGNED TO MOVE VERY HEAVY GLASS BACK AND FORTH. THIS IS UNTENABLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED NUMEROUS OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH VERY LITTLE AFFORDABLE RESOLUTIONS.

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.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AFTER CLOSING MY DOOR, WHETHER PARKED OR IN MOTION. I WOULD HAVE TO CLOSE IT 5-10, SOMETIMES MORE TIMES, TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. EVEN IF I SLAMMED THE DOOR SOMETIMES THE LIGHT STILL WOULDN'T GO OFF, AND THE WARNING SIGNAL WOULD CHIME AS I DROVE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A HONDA DEALER, AND THE SALESMAN TOLD ME IT WAS LIKELY JUST A SENSOR ISSUE, SO I IGNORED IT FOR A MONTH OR SO BEFORE TAKING IT IN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHEN I THOUGHT I COULD AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY DID DIAGNOSTICS ON IT AND TOLD ME IT WASN'T JUST THE SENSOR, THAT THE DOOR WAS ACTUALLY OPEN BECAUSE THE LATCH WASN'T CLOSING PROPERLY. THEY TOLD ME IF I GOT IN A WRECK MY DOOR COULD FLY OPEN, SO I LET THEM REPAIR IT. THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE LOCK ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE ATTACHED MY INVOICE FOR RECORD OF THE REPAIRS MADE AND THE COST.

AGAIN, THE SAME PLUS THE SHIFT INTO PARK ALARM ALSO SOUNDED AS SOON AS I REACHED SPEED WHEN THE LOCKS SHOULD ENGAGE. I CONTINUED HOME LISTENING TO 2 ALARMS BLARE, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS LIMITING MY VIEW AND THE DOORS REFUSING TO LOCK. WHEN I GOT HOME, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON FOR ALMOST AN HOUR AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE; IT WASN'T UNTIL I PULLED THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE A COUPLE TIMES THAT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. THE NEXT MORNING, MY DRIVE TO WORK WAS UNEVENTFUL; THAT EVENING ON MY WAY HOME, BOTH ALARMS ARE GOING OFF, INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK.

IN APRIL 2016, WE STARTED EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH NOT CONNECTING AND OUR DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYING ON. WE WOULD MANUALLY HAVE TO REOPEN THE LATCH TO CLOSE THE DOOR BUT THIS STILL DIDN'T ALWAYS MAKE THIS DOOR AJAR LIGHT DO OUT. THERE WERE TIMES WE WOULD HAVE TO CLOSE THE DOOR UP TO 5 TIMES TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO OUT AND FEEL THAT THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. IT WAS WORSE ON A TRIP AT THE END OF APRIL TO FLORIDA IN WHICH WE WERE UNABLE TO GET THIS TO HAPPEN AND COULDN'T GET OUR INTERIOR LIGHTS TO GO OUT SINCE IT WAS TELLING US THE DOOR WAS STILL OPEN. THIS ISSUE WOULD HAPPEN WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING. THE LIGHT WOULD BE OUT WHEN LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY AND THEN COME ON WHILE ON THE ROAD! WE HAD THIS CHECKED THREE TIMES, FIRST TWO UNSUCCESSFUL AND THE THIRD WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A BROKEN DOOR LATCH AND WASN'T COVERED SO WE HAD IT REPAIRED AT THE COST OF $329.85!

THERE IS AN INSTRUMENT PANEL ALARM THAT SAYS "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" THAT REMAINS DESPITE REPEATED OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE DRIVER'S DOOR. WE PAID ALMOST $600 TO HAVE THE SENSOR REPLACED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE US AGAIN TO FIX IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. NOT ONLY DOES THIS ALARM CAUSE CONSTANT BLINKING AND WARNING TONES WHEN DRIVING, BUT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AT NIGHT FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER DRIVING, AND I'VE HAD THE CAR BATTERY DISCHARGE TWICE WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE AND TRYING TO LOCK UP FOR THE NIGHT. IF YOU SLAM THE DOOR REPEATEDLY, IT SOMETIMES WILL GO OFF, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES WHEN I'VE OPENED AND SLAMMED THE DRIVERS DOOR OVER 10 TIMES, AND I JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE ALARM, NOISE, AND DISTRACTION.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR FAILING. SHOWS DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS NOT. LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY AND IT AFFECTS THE LOCKING SYSTEM WHEN IN DRIVE WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE IS A FEW YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 45K MILES. DO A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND IT IS EASY TO SEE IT IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY FORD. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A BYPRODUCT OF FORD OUTSOURCING TO MEXICO WITHOUT PROPER QUALITY CONTROL. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT FORD HASN'T HANDLED THIS VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO OCCUR AROUND 40K MILES ACCORDING TO OTHER OWNER REPORTS. BECAUSE IT IS EXPENSIVE FOR THE CONSUMER TO FIX AT THE DEALERSHIP IT WOULD APPEAR THAT FORD WOULD RATHER PROFIT OFF OF THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT THAN TAKE THE HIT TO MAKE IT RIGHT. BAD BUSINESS - WILL BE THINKING ABOUT THIS WHEN I GO TO PURCHASE MY NEXT VEHICLE.

2012 FORD EDGE BEGAN HAVING A "DOOR AJAR" ERROR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WITH THE KEYPAD. NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE IS A MAJOR ISSUE.

TYPICAL "DOOR IS AJAR" ERROR MESSAGE. UPON CLOSING THE DOOR, THE ERROR MESSAGE "DOOR IS AJAR" POPS UP AND THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON WITH THE CHIMES RINGING.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2012 FORD EDGE. IN NOV. 2013 A WARNING STARTED SHOWING ON THE DASH EVERY TIME I CLOSE THE DOOR (EITHER DRIVER SIDE DOORS OR PASSENGER SIDE DOORS) THAT SAYS DOOR AJAR. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I CLOSE THE DOOR IT STILL SAYS IT. IF I IGNORE IT AND DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD ANOTHER WARNING POPS UP THAT SAYS SHIFT INTO PARK. WHEN THESE WARNINGS ARE ON THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AS WELL. WHICH COULD LEAVE TO A DEAD BATTERY . THESE WARNINGS GOING OFF EVERY FEW MINUTES IS VERY AGGRAVATING AND FOR ME A LITTLE SCARY AS WELL ESPECIALLY WHEN U R DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT SAYS WARNING SHIFT INTO PARK.... IS THERE ANY KIND OF RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM OR ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THIS? I THOUGHT IT WOULD STOP BUT AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR 9 MONTHS IT IS STILL DOING IT. I HAVE MY GRANDBABIES IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME ALOT AND TO ME WHENEVER THERE IS ANY KIND OF WARNING SHOWING UP THAT IS A PROBLEM AND COULD LEAD TO SOMETHING SERIOUS AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY FORD. *TR

THE ALERT FOR 'DRIVER DOOR AJAR' COMES ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF, REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES AND/OR HOW HARD/SOFT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. I AM NOW DRIVING AROUND, IGNORING THE ALERT, WHICH IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I COULD POTENTIALLY BE DRIVING WITH A DOOR THAT IS NOT LATCHED PROPERLY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS INJURY. THANK GOD IT IS NOT THE DOOR THAT MY SON USES. I AM HEARING FROM EVERY FORD OWNER I'VE SPOKEN TO AND ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM IN THE MAJORITY OF FORDS, SO I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO A RECALL ON THIS. THANK YOU. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE "DOOR AJAR WARNING" COMES ON VERY OFTEN AND WON'T GO OFF. DOESN'T ALWAYS COME ON IMMEDIATELY, BUT WHILE ON, WON'T ALLOW DOORS TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHEN IT COMES ON, NOT ALWAYS IN A POSITION TO STOP IMMEDIATELY AND PUT IN PARK TO RESET . MUST STOP AND REPEAT CLOSING UNTIL IT TAKES. AGAIN VERY DANGEROUS. LASTLY, WHEN EXITING THE AUTO IF THE SENSOR FAILS THEN THE LIGHTS STAY ON AN EXTENDED PERIOD, RUNNING THE BATTERY DOWN. NOT ALLOWING THE DOORS TO LOCK AND ALARM TO SET. *TR

THE DOOR SENSOR SAYS THE DOOR IS OPEN AND EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE STOPS OR SLOWS DOWN, THERE IS A BEEP AND THE SENSOR ON THE DASH SAYS TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK .THE DOOR IS NOT OPEN YET THE CAR SAYS IT IS. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF THE DOOR REALLY DOESN'T CLOSE WE WOULDN'T REALLY KNOW. THERE IS ALSO AN ANNOYING BEEP THAT IS CONSTANTLY GOING ON TO ALERT US TO THE FACT THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR, BUT IT REALLY ISN'T. IT CAN BE VERY DISTRACTING. AFTER THE CAR IS OFF THE INDOOR LIGHTS STAY ON BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND I BELIEVE SHOULD BE RECALLED. I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER OWNER AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! *TR

HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT BUT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON. HAVE TO SLAM THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES AND EVEN THEN THE DOOR AJAR WARNING COMES ON. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. POSSIBLE LATCH REPLACEMENT. *TR

NHTSA, THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND ITS A BIT ANNOYING. WHEN DRIVING, OR EVEN PARKED, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS FIRMLY CLOSED. ONCE YOU REOPEN THE DOOR, AND CLOSE IT AGAIN, THE LIGHT _MAY OR MAY NOT_ TURN OFF. THIS HAS NOT ONLY AFFECTED ME, AND A CLOSE NEIGHBOR, HOWEVER IT ALSO HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF PEOPLE AS WELL. THE FIX, ACCORDING TO FORD, IS TO CLEAN THE LATCH ASSEMBLY AND IF IT FAILS, THEN REPLACE. HOWEVER THIS IS A COSTLY REPAIR AND SINCE IT AFFECTS SO MANY FORD VEHICLES, WE BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BY THE NHTSA. *TR

THE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. YOU CAN'T TELL IF THE DOOR IS REALLY AJAR OR NOT? I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN FORD VEHICLES INCLUDING THE EDGE. THE DOOR AJAR SWITCH IS PART OF THE DOOR LATCH ASSY AND IS NOT EASY TO GET TO OR CHEAP TO REPAIR. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2012 FORD EDGE USED WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT. AT 39,000 MILES I STARTED RECEIVING A "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED. HAVING RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE I AM FINDING MULTIPLE REPORTS ON MESSAGE BOARDS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST IS $250-$400 AND REQUIRES A DEALER PART, THE DOOR LATCH MODULE, TO FIX THIS. SOME FOLKS REPORT SPRAYING SOMETHING LIKE DW-40 RELIEVED THE SYMPTOM BUT I HAVE HAD NO SUCH LUCK. I FIND THAT IF I USE A PEN OR SMALL OBJECT AND PUSH THE LATCH CLOSED MANUALLY AND THEN PULLING THE HANDLE TO "OPEN" IT THE SYMPTOM WILL ABATE FOR A WHILE BUT RETURNS SOON. THE DOOR LATCH IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER WHICH SHOULD INDICATE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THE PRIMARY REASON I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NOT JUST POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP IS FOR ONE, EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU LEAVE A STOPPED POSITION A CHIME GOES OFF AND THE VEHICLE DISPLAY THROWS UP ALERTS TELLING THE DRIVER TO PARK THE CAR. THIS IS BOTH ANNOYING AND DISTRACTING. SECONDLY, ONCE THE DRIVER IS SUFFICIENTLY NUMB TO THE ERRONEOUS MESSAGE IF THE DOOR TRULY IS AJAR HE/SHE WILL MOST LIKELY IGNORE THE FACT. *TR

DRIVING HOME ON 78 FROM JULIAN AND HEARD A LOUD POP PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAW THAT THE SUNROOF OVER THE BACK SEAT HAD EXPLODED. LUCKILY THE GRAND KIDS WEREN'T THE BACK SEAT THE GLASS STAY INTACT. TOOK THE CAR TO HELLER FORD WHERE WE BOTH IT AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE, SOMETHING MUST HIT IT AND IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR IT. WE ARE WAITING FOR THE GLASS TO COME SO POWAY GLASS CAN RE PLACE IT. THEN WE WILL SEE IF FORD IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT. *TR

DRIVER: 83 YEAR OLD WOMAN... NEW AUTO: FORD EDGE 2012, NO INJURIES, VEHICLE DAMAGE APPROX $2000.00 NO PROPERTY DAMAGE..... PROBLEM: LADY STEPPED ON ACCELERATOR RATHER THAN BRAKE.... REASON: THE BRAKE PEDAL AT REST IS HIGHER THAN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT REST. THE DRIVER IS USED TO AN OLDER (CHRYSLER 2009) VEHICLE WHICH THERE WAS NOT AN APPRECIABLE DIFFERENCE IN PEDAL HEIGHT, STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THINKING SHE WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE.... RESOLUTION: DISCUSSING THE INCIDENT, THE WOMAN WAS SEATED IN THE FORD EDGE AND ASKED TO SEE IF SHE FELT A DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT OF THE BRAKE VS ACCELERATOR PEDALS. SHE DID, AND HAS SINCE PRACTICED GOING BETWEEN PEDALS, LIFTING HER FOOT TO ACCESS THE BRAKE, RATHER THAN MERELY SLIDING HER FOOT TO THE LEFT........ IT IS THIS WRITERS OPINION THAT MANY OF THE UNEXPLAINED ACCIDENTS WHERE A PERSON, ESPECIALLY WHEN AN ELDERLY PERSON IS DRIVING, HAS MISTOOK THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE BRAKE IS DUE TO THE HEIGHT OF PEDAL DIFFERENCE. ................ IT MIGHT BE WISE TO MAKE AWARE THIS PROBLEM TO MANUFACTURERS AND THE PUBLIC. ........ THANKS *TR
