2012 Ford Edge Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

TAKATA RECALL MY PASSENGER SIDE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. THIS CAUSES MY BATTERY TO DRAIN AND PREVENTS THE CAR FROM LOCKING. IT ALSO KEEPS THE DOME LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHICH MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE WHEN IN PUBLIC - MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR BUT IT WILL NOT LOCK UNTIL IT IS DRIVEN FOR A DISTANCE. THIS DOES NOT HELP IN A PARKING LOT WHEN CAR REFUSES TO LOCK DUE TO A BAD SENSOR. NOW, MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS STARTING TO ALERT THAT IT IS AJAR. BOTH DOORS ARE ALWAYS CLOSED. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AGAIN, WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO LOCK AND ALERTS ME TO SHIFT MY VEHICLE INTO PARK. THIS CYCLES 24 HOURS A DAY. MY LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY COME ON FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN A BAD SENSOR SAYING DOORS THAT ARE SHUT - ARE "AJAR". THIS HAS LEFT ME ON MORE THAN OCCASION WITH A DEAD BATTERY. THIS MOST CERTAINLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE CONCERDING THE DOORS ARE DESIGNED TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN DRIVING - AND THEY WILL NOT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD AGAIN UNLESS THIS IS FIXED. I AM REQUESTING THIS BE RECALLED AS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED IT COULD BE FIXED - BUT IT WILL RETURN. I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS AS A SINGLE MOTHER TO DO SO. PLEASE FORD - TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

THE DOOR LATCH IS FAULTY. IT IS TELLING ME THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS CLOSED. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHICH WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY TO DIE.

DOOR SENSOR ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN CONTINUING SINCE EARLY 2015, NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. CURRENTLY MY "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR APPEARS EVEN THOUGH MY DOOR IS CLOSED, EVEN AFTER BEING SLAMMED SHUT. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR ALONG WITH PASSENGER SIDE DOOR CONTINUE TO SAY OPEN AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN CLOSED AND I AM DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING I CANNOT MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR, THEY JUST AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK ON ITS OWN. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE, ESPECIALLY DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN. HIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO REPLACE MY BATTERY SOONER THAN NEEDED BECAUSE THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A LONG TIME, ALSO RANDOMLY TURN ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I ALSO CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS BECAUSE THAN THE ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY THINKING THE DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED. SO WETHER DRIVING OR PARKED, THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT NIGHT, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT APPEARED, INDICATING I SHOULD SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND AN ALARM STARTED CHIMING. MY VISION WAS IMPAIRED BY THE BRIGHT INTERIOR LIGHTS. AFTER NAVIGATING THROUGH TRAFFIC I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY, SHIFTED THE CAR TO PARK , GOT OUT AND CHECKED DOORS AND TAILGATE BUT ALL WERE SECURE. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY. I LODGED MY COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE FIXED. THE CONDITION APPEARED TO BE CORRECTED UNTIL THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM , MUCH TO MY DISMAY I FOUND OUT THAT ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX HAD BEEN APPLIED, THE DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED, AND NOW TO FIX THE DOOR LATCH SWITCH WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. DISCONTENT, I RETURNED HOME AND RESEARCHED AND FOUND MY PROBLEM A POPULAR TOPIC. I STARTED A COMPLAINT WITH FORDS REGIONAL OFFICE AND WITH NHTSA BUT DIDN'T MAIL IT IN. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MORE PERSISTENT AND I WON'T PUT FAMILY IN THE CAR. IT HAS ALSO LEFT ME STRANDED WITH A DEAD BATTERY A NUMBER OF TIMES AS THIS SWITCH APPARENTLY CONTROLS TIME DELAYED COURTESY LIGHTS TO LET YOU EXIT THE CAR SAFELY AT NIGHT. THE PROBLEM HERE IS THEY DON'T SHUT OFF, DRAINING THE BATTERY. WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LODGED REGARDING THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION, AND QUICK FIX ALBEIT EXPENSIVE PART, I FIGURED THIS TO BE A PRIORITY RECALL. THIS ISSUE OCCURS AT ANY GIVEN TIME, STATIONARY, CITY STREETS, AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR APPEARS TO CLOSE PROPERLY HOWEVER A WARNING LIGHT STATING THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR COMES ON. I OPEN AND CLOSE THE 2 OR 3 TIMES WITH A HARD SLAM AND THE LIGHT GOES OUT. THE CAR DOORS WILL NOT LOCK IF THIS WARNING LIGHT IS ON. I AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT THE FORD DEALER AT A COST OF NEARLY $400. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM ON THE EDGE. THE CAR HAS APPROX 42,000 MILES.

FREQUENTLY A WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON STATING THAT THE COLLISION WARNING CENSOR IS BLOCKED. AS A RESULT THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK AND THE COLLISION WARNING FEATURE IS ALSO NOT WORKING. BY PRESSING AN 'OK' BUTTON THE WARNING LIGHT GOES AWAY AND THE SYSTEM SEEMS TO WORK PROPERLY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AFTER GOING OVER A BUMP BUT NOT ALL BUMPS. THE DEALER HAS QUOTED ME A PRICE OF NEARLY $2000 TO REPLACE THE WARNING CENSOR, AND BRACKET. HOWEVER, I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THE CENSOR IS DEFECTIVE SINCE IT OFTEN WORKS PROPERLY.

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THE DOOR(DRIVER SIDE) IS CLOSED. YOU HAVE TO SLAM THE DOOR HARD TO GET THE LIGHT OFF. WHILE DRIVING IT CAN COME ON. WHILE PARKED IT CAN COME ON AND TRIGGER THE ALARM IN CAR.

THE DOOR AJAR SOSNOR STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE HAS DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY AND WILL NOT TURN OFF...IT HAS ALMOST CAUSE ME TO WRECK SEVERAL TIMES...AND CAR WILL NOT LOCK BECAUSE OF DOOR AJAR..THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAKING ALARM TO GO OFF CONSTANTLY ...WISH FORD WOULD RECALL THIS ISSUE AS EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ..DOOR AJAR.....

THE DIVER SIDE IS CLOSE BUT THE AJAR SIGN IS ILLUMINATED AND WILL NOT GO AWAY IMAGINE IMAGINE STOPPING AT EVERY STOPLIGHT AND TRY TO CLOSE THE DOOR EVEN PULLED OVER SLAMMED THE DOOR SO MANY TIMES AND ILLUMINATED LIGHT STILL DO NOT GO AWAY. IT IS CAUSING A PROBLEM AND IS VERY DISTRACTING.
