2013 Ford Edge Body & Structure Problems

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LESS 60 MPH MY SUNROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS SHATTERED EVERYWHERE. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE CARSEAT WHILE THIS HAPPEN. THERE NOTHING THAT I HEARD OR VISIBLE THAT HIT IT. SO NOW IM TRYING TO GET IT REPLACE AND THE DEALERSHIP NEED TO ORDER THE GLASS AND I NEED TO WAIT. I FOUND OTHER REPORT ONLINE ABOUT THIS HAPENING TO THE SAME MODEL BUT THERES NO RECALL. BUT OTHER RECALL FOR OTHER FORD MODEL AND YEAR HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked nearby the passenger's side air bag compartment. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 178,000.

My 2013 ford edge has the sunroof rails broken . i think because they are made out of plastic. So the only thing holding the front of the glass is some wires to prevent it from the glass from catching air and catching air borne which will shatter the glass. Im really scare to take the freeway.

• What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The left back door sensor malfunctioned. Yes, it can be inspected once the battery is charged or replaced. • How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? It would not automatically lock the doors while driving. The vehicle is used to transport children. It would say the door is open despite it being closed and locked. The alarm would randomly go off with no one around. • Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The sensor malfunctioned so much, my battery is now dead. It has not been confirmed by a dealer or service center. • Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, it has not been inspected by anyone yet. • Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The messaging system would randomly tell me my door was open despite it being closed. It became more and more frequent as time went on. Before my battery died, it was happening 3-4 times a night.The issue first appeared in May or June of 2021

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND CLOSING THE DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BELL COLE FORD LINCOLN LOCATED AT (2119 GREENUP AVE, ASHLAND, KY 41101) WHERE THE DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAULTY AND EXHIBITS ILLUMINATED DOME LIGHTS, DOOR AJAR MESSAGE ALONG WITH NO DOOR LOCKS AND FAULTY ALARM.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH 2013 FORD EDGE RECEIVE A MESSAGE ADVISING THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT. CHECKED ON INTERNET FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS CITING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE INVOLVING ALL DIFFERENT DOORS. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY ENTITLED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 19N09 WHEREIN THEY ADVISE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCH ON THE 2013 FORD EDGE SPECIFYING THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND ADVISING THEY WILL REPLACE THE DOOR LATCH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. IT IS MY POSITION THEY USED THE SAME TYPE SETUP ON ALL DOORS ON THE 2013 FORD EDGE, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND WANT TO LIMIT THEIR EXPOSURE BY LIMITING THE PROGRAM TO THE DRIVERS DOOR. THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE OR CONCERN PROMPTING THIS PROGRAM OR FORD WOULD NOT HAVE INITIATED THE PROGRAM AND IT WOULD APPLY TO ALL DOORS ON THE VEHICLE AS EVIDENCED BY MY PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DOOR. I DID CONTACT THE FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AND WAS ADVISED THE PROGRAM WAS LIMITED TO THE CONDITIONS LISTED IN THE LETTER. THIS DOOR AJAR WARNING HAS COME UP WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHEN STATIONARY.

SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. WE WERE GOING 70 MILES/ HOUR ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT EXPLODED OUT OF NOWHERE. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER THREW OUR ARMS OVER OUR HEAD BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE OUR CAR HAD BEEN SHOT AT. THE CAR SWERVED INTO OTHER LANES OF TRAFFIC. MOST OF THE GLASS STAYED BUT WE HAD LARGE CHUNKS FALL INTO THE CAR CABIN. THERE WAS ALSO LOTS OF FINE PIECES OF GLASS FALLING INTO THE CAR. WE HAD A 1 YEAR OLD IN HER CARSEAT THAT HAD GLASS FALLING ON HER HEAD. WE DIDN'T DARE DRIVE ANYMORE, TRYING TO AVOID THE GLASS CAVING IN, AND PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT.

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILURE. SYMPTOMS COULD NOT CLOSE DOOR. LATCH MECHANISM WAS FREE TO MOVE, BUT WOULD NOT LOCK INTO PLACE WHEN DOOR CLOSED. DOOR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, UNLOCKED CAR, OPENED DOOR, ENTERED VEHICLE, TRIED TO CLOSE DOOR. DOOR WOULD JUST NOT LATCH CLOSED. MANUALLY MOVED DOOR LATCH MECHANISM BACK AND FORTH. ON OTHER DOORS, THE LATCH WOULD LOCK INTO PLACE, AND COULD BE 'UNLOCKED' BY OPENING USING DOOR HANDLE. ON AFFECTED DOOR, THE LATCH WOULD ONLY MOVE BACK AND FORTH FREELY. TOOK TO FORD DEALER TODAY. DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY LATCH ASSEMBLY. APPROXIMATELY $250 FOR THE PART, AND $250 FOR LABOR.

DRIVER'S DOOR UNABLE LOCKED WHILE DRIVING, AND INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS STAYING ON CONTINUOUSLY. DOOR ALARM CONTINUOUSLY SOUNDING.

THE DRIVERS DOOR INTERMITTENTLY DOESN'T RECOGNIZE WHEN ITS CLOSED. THE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE OTHER DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A SHORT DISTANCE.

FRONT DRIVER DOOR AJAR SIGNAL. WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR SIGNAL APPEARS WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. ENGINE ON SIGNAL APPEARS, INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON, SHIFT INTO PARK SIGNAL APPEARS. DOOR LOCKS DO NOT ENGAGE WHILE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. SAFETY IS COMPROMISED WITH UNLOCKED DOORS WHILE DRIVING. CLEANING OF CONTACTS DOES NOT ALLEVIATE PROBLEM. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD RECALL OR REPAIR VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY.

TAKATA RECALL THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY 2013 FORD EDGE LIMITED HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM, TWO YEARS AGO WE HAD TO SPEND $650 ON GETTING OUR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH NOW OUR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH IS DOING THE SAME THING WHEN WE ARE DRIVING THE DOOR WILL JUST FLY OPEN WITH NO TYPE OF WARNING. SOMETIMES BEFORE WE START DRIVING IT WILL SAY DRIVER DOOR OPEN. IVE READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND FORD IS YET TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MY WIFE COULD FALL OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING OR VISE VERSA. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE WINDS UP DEAD AND FORD HAS A LAWSUIT ON THERE HAND.

STATIONARY 2013 FORD EDGE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH FREEZES AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. WHEN I DO GET THE DOOR OPEN FROM OTHER SIDE IT WON'T CLOSE AND LATCH. I HAVE TO REPEATEDLY SLAM DOOR HARD TO GET IT TO LATCH. FORD GARAGE IN PAST LUBRICATES THE LATCH INSIDE THE DOOR BUT IT'S A TEMPORARY FIX. DEALING WITH THIS EVERY YEAR.

I BOUGHT MY FORD EDGE FROM A DEALERSHIP AND 4 DAYS AFTER HAVING IT I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN AND THE BACK SUNROOF SHATTERED FOR NO KNOWN REASON. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT'S INCONCLUSIVE TO WHY IT BROKE

WATER LEAK IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE DO TO SEALANT GAPS IN A PANEL ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TO THE POINT WERE WATER WAS POOLING ON THE RUBBER MATS. I SEE THAT THERE WERE PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE CONSIDERED IN THIS RECALL.

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED. NOTHING HIT THE ROOF PRIOR TO IT SHATTERING.

DRIVER'S DOOR STOPPED REGISTERING THAT IT WAS CLOSED, CAUSING "DOOR AJAR" WARNING REGARDLESS OF HOW HARD/COMPLETELY THE DOOR WAS SHUT. IT WOULD RESULT IN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS, AS THE CAR WOULD CONSTANTLY ISSUE AN AUDIBLE AND VISUAL WARNING WHILE DRIVING (DURING SLOW SPEEDS/COMING TO A STOP), AND KEEP THE INTERIOR/EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHEN PARKED, DRAINING THE BATTERY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS PUBLISHED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 14-0011) FOR ITS SERVICE PERSONNEL, BUT HAS FAILED TO TAKE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE PARTS IMPACTING A MULTITUDE OF THEIR VEHICLE MODELS (EDGE, EXPLORER, AND FLEX AS WELL AS LINCOLN MK-X & MK-T) FOR YEARS 2011-2014. UNOFFICIALLY, THIS AFFECTS YEAR MODELS 2009-2018, BASED ON INFORMATION ONLINE FORUMS SUCH AS FORDPROBLEMS.COM. THE COST TO FIX WAS IN EXCESS OF $500 AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, AND I FOUND IT QUITE TELLING THAT THEY HAD THE PART ON-HAND FOR SAME DAY-SERVICE, EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS NOW 5 YEARS OLD.

DOOR AJAR INDICATOR KEEPS RANDOMLY COMING ON. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND INTERNAL LIGHTS WILL BE LEFT ON. IT DRAINED MY BATTERY AND LEFT ME STRANDED 4 HOURS FROM HOME. TRULY RANDOM TIMES... WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, WHEN PARKED AND MAYBE HOURS LATER AFTER VEHICLE IS IN PARK.

DOOR AJAR ON DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR. MECHANIC ADVISED SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH A VEHICLE THIS AGE. I SEE ONLINE MANY CONSUMERS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. I FIND THIS VERY CONCERNING AS WE HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT, AGES 2 AND 4. EVEN OF IT'S A SENSOR ISSUE, IT EFFECTS THE ABILITY TO LOCK THE CAR, AND THE DOME LIGHT OVERHEAD TO STAY ON FOR SOME TIME. PLUS, WHAT IF FOR NOW IT'S A SENSOR BUT LATER THE LATCH DOESN'T WORK? HOW WOULD ANYONE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE IF THE LIGHT IS STILL PRESENT? THE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME, WHETHER PARKED OR IN MOTION.

THE BREAK BOOSTER WAS JUST ON RECALL LAST YEAR AND WAS FIXED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP. IT IS NOW MESSED UP AGAIN AND IS NO LONGER UNDER RECALL. THE PAINT ON THE BUMPER OF MY 2013 FORD EDGE THAT IS ALWAYS CARPORT KEPT IS PEELING.

THE VEHICLE STARTED SENSING THE DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN IT WAS NOT. BECAUSE OF THIS MY SECURITY SYSTEM ACTIVATES OVER AND OVER. ON JANUARY 2, 2018 THIS HAPPENED WHILE PARKED AWAY FROM HOME AND IT DEPLETED THE BATTERY WHICH IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS NEAR ZERO DEGREES AND I WAS STRANDED FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR IN SUB ZERO TEMPERATURES. I AM 60 YEARS OLD AND SUFFER FROM DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND CANCER OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AND THIS BECAME A DANGEROUS, LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. SINCE JANUARY 2, 2018 MY CAR HAS REPEATEDLY RUN THE BATTERY DOWN WHEN SENSING THE DOOR OPEN AND SETTING THE ALARM SYSTEM ACTIVE, REPEATEDLY AND FOR HOURS WHEN I'M NOT AROUND. AFTER MONTHS OF THIS I DISCOVERED TODAY THAT MY HORN FAILED WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS AND I WAS UNABLE TO ALERT A CAR PULLING INTO MY RIGHT OF WAY THAT I WAS THERE. THIS GETS MORE AND MORE DANGEROUS EVERY MONTH, FROM NEARLY FREEZING TO DEATH, TO NEARLY MANGLED ON A US HIGHWAY IN NORTHWEST INDIANA SOMETHING NEEDS ADDRESSING BY FORD AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A CONSTANT PROBLEM IN THE FORD EDGE VEHICLES. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE DEVELOPED MORE OFTEN OVER THE LAST YEAR BUT I DISCOVERED THE HORN PROBLEM TODAY IN A POSSIBLY LIFE THREATENING INCIDENT AT 50 MPH IN RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS.

THE LATCH ASSEMBLY SWITCH TO THE SENSOR THAT'S NOT WORK CORRECTLY CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHT AND THE DOOR AJAR TO STAY ON EVEN WITH THE DOORS CLOSED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND HAPPENS EVERY DAY FORWARD SAYS IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY YET THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING IN THE CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS DAMAGE

DOOR ADJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED.

WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON AFTER DOOR IS CLOSED. INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON AND RUN THE BATTERY DOWN.

RE: PE16012 I TOO AM EXPERIENCING THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT. THERE ARE TWO MORE SAFETY ISSUES YOU FAIL TO CONSIDER AS WELL AS THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM. ONE, WHEN THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON AND THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE AUTO LOCK FEATURE OF THE DOORS IS LOST. ASIDE FROM THE ISSUE OF THE DOORS POTENTIALLY OPENING THERE IS THE POTENTIAL DANGER TO THE OCCUPANTS OF UNWANTED ACCESS BY UNSCRUPULOUS PEOPLE. THE SECOND ISSUE THAT WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND LOCKED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON RESULTING IN BATTERIES BEING WORN DOWN AND DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS STRANDED. NOT A WONDERFUL THOUGHT IN FREEZING WINTER CONDITIONS. THE FINAL POINT I WOULD MAKE IS THAT THERE WERE 1349 COMPLAINTS, NOW 1350, FILED PRIOR TO MINE. AN OLD RULE OF THUMB HAS BEEN THAT FOR EVERYONE WHO WILL TAKE THE TIME TO WRITE A LETTER OF COMPLAINT THERE ARE 10,000 MORE WHO WILL NOT. THE MATH SAYS 13,500,000. OBVIOUSLY THERE WERE NOT THIS MANY FORD EDGES SOLD IN THE 3 MODEL YEARS THIS SAFETY ISSUE HAS PRESENTED ITSELF. IN FACT THEY SOLD A LITTLE UNDER .3% OF THAT NUMBER. THAT MAKES THE RATIO OF COMPLAINTS EXTREMELY HIGH AND MUCH SERIOUSNESS MUCH GREATER. THE DATE I NOTE AT THE BOTTOM IS THE APPROXIMATE DATE THE PROBLEM STARTED.

WARNING LIGHT SHOWS DRIVER DOOR OPEN WHEN THE DOOR IS REALLY CLOSED. THE DOME LIGHT WILL STAY ON AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE IN GEAR. THIS WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK.

STARTING IN FEBRUARY 2017, THE 'DRIVER DOOR AJAR' WARNING INDICATOR WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE DRIVER DOOR WAS CLOSED. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 90,000MILES. NONE OF THE THREE PASSENGER DOORS OR THE TAILGATE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. AT FIRST THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. I TRIED TO LUBRICATE THE LATCH WITH SILICON SPRAY AND THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY FOR A WEEK, THEN COME BACK. IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE UNTIL JUNE OF 2017, WHEN THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT GO AWAY AT ALL. SLAMMING THE DOOR SHUT REPEATEDLY DID NOT WORK, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYED ON. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, IT'S HARD TO TELL IF THE DOOR IS REALLY CLOSED OR NOT. IF THE DOOR IS NOT LATCHED PROPERLY, IT WOULD BE A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN. IN ADDITION, THE DOORS NO LONGER LOCK, NEITHER AUTOMATICALLY NOR USING THE LOCK SWITCH WHICH ALSO PRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN. ANOTHER RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM IS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT GO OUT WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND THE DOOR CLOSED WHICH HAS DRAINED THE BATTERY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY IN VIEW OF THE DOORS NOT LOCKING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED.

DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR SENSOR ALWAYS STATES THE DOOR IS OPEN, WON'T TURN OF INTERIOR LIGHTS SO AFFECTING VISION WHILE DRIVING. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON ONE DUE TO DOOR NOT CLOSED SO BATTERY IS DYING. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS FOR SMALL CHILDREN . CHILD SAFETY LOCK WILL NOT WORK DUE TO THE SENSOR SAYING THE DOOR IS OPEN

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DRIVERS DOOR IS SHUT. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE DOORS NOT TO LOCK WHEN ENGAGED IN THE DRIVE MODE.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL BE CLOSED PROPERLY AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL TURN ON.

DOOR LATCH DOESN'T LATCH DISABLING DOOR LOCKS AND IT IS A HAZARD. WAS TOLD NOT ON RECALL. HEAVY SMELL OF EXHAUST. WHEN FILLING GAS THE EVAP CODE COMES AND IT IS ROUGH TO START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD EXHIBITED FRACTURES AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AREA, WHICH CAUSED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG TO BE EXPOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. A LOCAL UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR. PER SOCIAL MEDIA IT IS A KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE ESTIMATE FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPLACEMENT (QUOTED BY FORD DEALERSHIP) OF A FAULTY SWITCH IN THE DOOR IS APPROXIMATELY $525.00, THERE ARE SOCIAL MEDIA SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO DISABLE THE SWITCH (CUTTING A WIRE, ETC.). DISABLING THE SWITCH COULD CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD. I THINK A RECALL SHOULD IS IN ORDER. MY VEHICLE (2013 FORD EDGE) HAS 29,300 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTING OCCURRING IN AUG. 2017 AND HAS STEADILY GOTTEN WORSE.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH SENSOR INDICATING DOOR AJAR FAILED AND THE ENTIRE DOOR LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED EVEN THOUGH ALL THE DOORS WERE CLOSED. THE CONTACT STATED AS A RESULT, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL COLLINS FORD WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER-SIDE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.

DRIVER DOOR LATCH READS DOOR AJAR ALARM,SHIFT INTO PARK,AN DOORS WANT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AN LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF SOME TIMES FOR FORTY FIVE MINUTES OR LONGER.

DOOR LATCH DOES NOT PROPERLY SECURE. DOOR AJAR SENSOR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND VEHICLE ALARM WILL NOT ACTIVATE BECAUSE DOOR LOCKS DO NOT ENGAGE. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY; WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, STANDING, PARKED, ENGINE RUNNING AND ENGINE NOT RUNNING. LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT ALSO REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES, EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS TIRES ARE INFLATED TO PROPER PRESSURE.

DRIVERSIDE DOOR LATCH IS MESSED UP,IT IS SHOWING DOORS AJAR WHEN IT IS CLOSED.

DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH - THE DEFECT IS NOT COVERED IN OTHER RECALL FOR FORD MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS SAFETY CONCERN AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

LEFT FRONT DOOR SENSOR REGULARLY INDICATES DOOR AJAR, WHEN IT IS NOT. EFFECTS WHETHER I CAN LOCK DOORS TO PROTECT CHILDREN AND OTHER PASSENGERS. ALSO ADVERSELY IMPACTS BATTERY LIFE; IF SENSOR INCORRECTLY INDICATES DOOR AJAR, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON AFTER DEPARTING THE VEHICLE, THUS DRAINING BATTERY AND INCREASING LIKELIHOOD OF NOT BEING ABLE TO START LATER.

DOOR LATCH SENSOR STAYS ON. DEALERSHIP STATES IT IS A TYPICAL FAULTY PART THAT THEY HAVE TO REPLACE. EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE SAME PART CONTINUES TO FAIL.

THERE IS WATER LEAKING INTO MY FORD EDGE LEAVING A PUDDLE ON MY DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR, COMPLETELY SATURATING THE CARPET. THE WATER IS LITERALLY POOLING ON THE FLOOR UNDER MY FEET. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR SITS IDLE, UNDRIVEN, WHEN THERE IS RAIN. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AN A/C LEAKAGE, CONDENSATION, ETC. THERE IS WATER LEAKING FROM THE OUTSIDE INTO MY VEHICLE AND HAS NOW RESULTED IN RUSTING OF MY FLOORBOARD AND MOLDING TO MY CARPET. THERE IS A STRONG MOLD ODOR AND IS INTOLOERABLE UNLESS THE WINDOWS ARE OPEN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE A CHILD WITH ALLERGIES AND HE CAN NOT BE EXPOSED TO THIS. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER RAIN . I HAVE VACUUMED UP THE WATER, DRIED THE CARPETING BUT IT REOCCURRES OVER AND OVER. MY FIRST INCIDENT WAS JUST A MONTH OR SO AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED. I WILL GET INTO MY VEHICLE IN THE MORNING AND YOU CAN VISUALLY SEE A PUDDLE ON MY DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR, SOMETIMES EVEN SUBMERSING MY FLOOR MAT, WHEN THERE WAS RAIN DURING THE NIGHT AND THE FLOOR WAS DRY WHEN I PARKED IT THE NIGHT BEFORE.

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING WILL NOT GO OFF WITH THE DOOR CLOSED . IT WILL DO IT AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES AND WHEN FIRST STARTED. I CAN NO LONGER LOCK MY CAR AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE ALARM WILL GO OFF DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND WAKE EVERYONE UP. I HAVE BEEN READING MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE,AND FOR AS MUCH AS THESE CARS COST , I CAN'T BELIEVE FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO ME NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK MY DOORS AT NIGHT, AND BECAUSE WHILE DRIVING, THE DOORS UNLOCK. PLEASE EXPEDITE THIS INVESTIGATION FOR MYSELF AND THE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THIS HAS AFFECTED.

THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR STAYS ON EVEN WITH THE DOOR CLOSED AND LATCHED. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR KEEPS TELLING YOU TO STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK BECAUSE THE DOOR IS NOT LATCHED. WHEN THE CAR IS OFF THE LIGHTS STAY ON DRAINNING THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT STILL DOES NOT SENSE THE DOOR IS CLOSED.

DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT. THIS KEEPS THE OVER HEAD DOME LIGHTS FROM GOING OFF AS WELL AS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING. IT'S DANGEROUS AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO SEE TO BACK UP WHEN THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ON. IT MAKES VISIBILITY VERY LOW. IT'S ALSO NOT SAFE THAT THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK.

LH DOOR AJAR LAMP WONT LET THE INTERIOR LAMPS TURN OFF DURING VEHICLE IN USE, A REAL PROBLEM AT NIGHT.

DRIVERS DOOR LATCH DOES NOT LOCK DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE LATCH MODULE. THIS OCCURS WHILE IN MOTION WITH THE 'DRIVERS DOOR AJAR" WARNING COMING UP ON THE DASH.

I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH TWICE. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. JUNE 2015 AND FEBRUARY 2016

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHTS UP, DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DOORS WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK EVEN WHEN DOOR IS SHUT. WARNING DOES NOT GO OFF SO YOU HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE DOME LIGHT ON FOR A WHILE AND WHEN YOU PARK YOUR CAR THESE STAY ON AND IT CAN DRAIN YOUR BATTERY STRANDING YOU. THIS IS AN ONGOING EVERYDAY PROBLEM.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT WON'T GO OUT.

VEHICLE DOES NOT LOCK CORRECTLY. THIS OCCURS DAILY AT RANDOM PLACES WHILE PARKED. LIGHTS STAY ON DRAINING THE BATTERY. ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY AT DAY OR NIGHT WAKING ME AND NEIGHBORS ALMOST EVERY NIGHT. IT IS 4 AM ALARM WENT OFF AND I JUST SPENT 30MIN TRYING TO FIX THE DOOR BECAUSE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON.

DOOR LATCH SENSER IS MALFUNCTIONING. WITH IT DOING THIS THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE OPERATING THE CAR. LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN NOT IN USE. AND ALARM WILL GO OFF WHEN EVER IT DECIDES TO WHILE NOT IN USE. DUE TO CAR SENSING THE DOOR IS AJAR. THIS MAKES THE CAR AVAILABLE TO BE PLUNDERED BY BURGLARY. WHILE IT DRAINS THE BATTERY. THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF EVENTUALLY. BUT DRIVER DOOR ( THE ONE CAUSING ISSUES) WILL NOT RESPOND KEYFOB. WHEN I USE SET OF KEYS NUMBER 2 ( MY SET) IT WON'T RESPOND TO THEM TILL I LOCK CAR AND REMOTE START SITTING INSIDE THE AUTOMOBILE. EVERY TIME YOU STOP THE CAR WILL SOUND AN ALARM AND TELL YOU TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND CLOSE DOOR, EVERYTIME!! EVEN WHEN YOU PHYSICALLY LOCK DOORS THE CAR WILL UNLOCK THEM. (POSABLY SO WE CAN GET CAR JACKED) IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. REPLACING THE MECHANISM ISN'T THE WHOLE ANSWER. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE DONE THAT ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE POP UP IN SEVERAL MONTHS. THEN THEY ARE OUT ABOUT $600. PLEASE DEAL WITH THIS IT IS ON SEVERAL MAK S AND MODELS OF FORD. I LIKE THE COMPANY, BUT AM GETTING TIRED OF THE RUN AROUND. IT STARTED IN 11/01/16 TO CURRENT. SAD PART IS IT USE UP COME AND GO. NOT ANYMORE.

COMPLAINT--NOT SURE DRIVERS DOOR IS SECURLELY LATCHED WHILE DRIVING. DRIVER DOOR WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. OTHER TIMES WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. ANOTHER WARNING LIGHT SAYING "SHIFT TO PARK" COMES ON WHILE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON. TSB 150013 DONE BY DEALER 7/23/2015 @ 31,833 MILES. THIS TSB IS TO CLEAN THE SWITCH CONTACTS BUT DO NOT REPLACE SWITCH. . CURRENT MILEAGE 3/7/2017 53,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT LATCH ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CONTACTED FORD DEALER, I MUST PAY FOR REPAIR. CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE @ 888-270-1055 3/7/2017 WAS TOLD NO HELP FROM FORD. WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. COST OF REPAIR $150.00 PARTS $!87.00 LABOR PLUS 6% SALES TAX.

THE PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHT UP SOMETIMES WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED SECURELY. THIS LEAVES ME UNCERTAIN IF I HAVE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION OR NOT. CONCERNED ABOUT IGNORING THE SAFETY WARNING LIGHT WHEN I HAVE A REAL DOOR PROBLEM. CREATES AN UNSAFE CONDITION THAT MUST BE PHYSICALLY CHECKED EACH OCCURRENCE.

DRIVERS SIDE "DOOR OPEN" DASH INDICATOR IS ACTIVE WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED, BOTH IN PARK AND WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS OCCASIONALLY COME ON DURING DRIVING, THEN GONE OFF AGAIN. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN CAR IS OFF, LEADING TO A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY AND I EVENTUALLY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. THE ONLY WAY TO OCCASIONALLY MAKE THE LIGHT GO OFF IS TO REPEATEDLY OPEN AND THEN SLAM THE DOOR CLOSED. I ALSO FEEL THE ANTI THEFT FEATURES AND OVERALL LOCKING MAY BE COMPROMISED AS I HEAR THE HORN "DOUBLE BEEP" WHEN USING THE REMOTE CONTROL KEY FOB LOCK, INDICATING THAT A DOOR IS STILL "OPEN".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS CLOSED, THE "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND A BELL-LIKE ALARM SOUNDED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE DOORS REMAINED UNLOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR SWITCH WAS STUCK AND THAT THE DOOR SWITCH ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,000.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER SHUTTING THE DOOR NUMEROUS OF TIMES. THIS CAUSES THE INSIDE LIGHT TO STAY ON DRAINING THE BATTERY AS WELL AS THE DOOR AJAR ALARM TO KEEP GOING OFF EVERY 3 MINUTES.

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE THE DOOR AJAR WARNING COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN PARKED THE DOME LIGHT COMES ON AND RUNS THE BATTERY DOWN.

OPENING/CLOSING DRIVER SIDE DOOR; DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED WHICH LEAVES ON INTERIOR LIGHTS AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. IT HAS STARTED TO OCCUR MORE OFTEN WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, APPROX 85,000 MILES. WHEN THE DRIVER AJAR LIGHT IS ON MY DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT ENGAGE/INITIATE DURING DRIVING LIKE THEY SHOULD NORMALLY DO. CONTACTED USED CAR DEALER AND THEY SUGGEST THE CHARGE TO FIX CAN RANGE FROM 195.00-450.00, DEPENDING ON THE ISSUE, SENSOR REPLACEMENT ETC..... *TR

REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK FAILING. LOCK SHOWS DOOR AJAR AND WILL NOT LOCK.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON DUE TO A DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE VEHICLE LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND THE SHIFT TO PARK LIGHT TO STAY ON...WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON WITH DOOR CLOSED.INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK.SOMETIMES HAVE TO CLOSE DOOR 10 -12 TIMES BEFORE IT REGISTERS THAT IT IS CLOSED. I DRIVE TO WORK AT NIGHT AND INTEROIR LIGHTS ARE DISTACTING AND MAKE IT HARDER TO SEE.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE I'M DRIVING CAUSING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS AT NIGHT. CHIMES "DOOR AJAR EVERY TIME I LET OFF THE BRAKES WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THE KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. THIS IS ALL VERY DISTRACTING AND UNSAFE. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS IN AN ACCIDENT OR ROBBED BECAUSE THEY CANNOT LOCK THE DOORS. I CANNOT SEE TO BACKUP AT NIGHT WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR WOULD ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATE. THE FAILURE INDICATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS UNSECURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THE FRONT PASSAGENER SENSOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AJAR. THE FRONT DOOR MECHANISM WILL NOT LOCK. THERE IS A CONSTANT WARNING CHIME AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT. THE WARNING IS " DRIVER DOOR AJAR".

THE DRIVERS DOOR GIVES ERROR UPON CLOSING INDICATING THE DOOR IS AJAR. AFTER CLOSING DOOR MANY TIMES THE MESSAGE IS STILL THERE. WHEN THE DOOR IS AJAR THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT FUNCTION MEANING YOU ARE VULNERABLE TO A CAR JACKING BECAUSE YOUR DOORS WON'T LOCK. WHEN YOU GET OUT THE CAR THE SAME ISSUE BUT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL STAY ON UNTIL THE FAILSAFE TIMES THEM OUT FOR EMERGENCY SHUTOFF BUT, THE DOORS ARE STILL UNLOCKED. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BECOME WORST IN THE WINTER TIME. I DO NOT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM DURING THE WARM SUMMER MONTHS.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHTS STAYS ON WITH DOOR SHUT.

DRIVERS DOOR LATCH FAILED AGAIN. WAS REPLACED UNDER FORD ORIGINAL WARRANTY WITH CAMELBACK FORD BUT HAS FAILED FOUR MONTHS LATER AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER CAMELBACK FORD HAS NO INTEREST AND REPAIRING WITHOUT PAYING $642.00 TO REPAIR. I GUESS NO WARRANTY ON THEIR WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, NONE OF THE DOORS WOULD LOCK WHEN PROMPTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY COME ON LIGHTING UP THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. OR IT WONT GO OFF WHEN ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SAYS IT IS AJAR, BUT IT'S NOT AJAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING IS DISPLAYED ON THE DIGITAL INSTRUMENT PANEL, ALONG WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND THE DOME LIGHTS BEING TURNED ON. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR WILL MAKE THE WARNING GO AWAY FOR A FEW MINUTES, BUT IT INVARIABLY RETURNS BEFORE MUCH TIME PASSES. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AS WELL. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND WARNING DINGS WHEN THE DOOR IS DEFINITELY SHUT. IF I OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES IT WILL SOMETIMES GO OFF. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE DOOR CANNOT BE LOCKED WHEN THIS HAPPENS, CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. CAUSES BATTERY TO DRAIN BECAUSE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH LIGHTS ON WHICH MAKES NIGHTTIME DRIVING DANGEROUS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE AND FORD NEEDS TO RECALL IT.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE I WAS TURNING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AS MENTIONED IN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS, I TOO HAVE THE ISSUE OF THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT DISPLAYING "AJAR". BECAUSE OF THIS ALMOST ACCIDENT, I NOW OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES TO MAKE SURE THE LATCH IS CLOSE AND THE LIGHT IS OFF. MY LIFE MATTERS.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. ALSO THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK/STAY LOCKED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN INITIALLY STARTING THE VEHICLE AND HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM TO BE EITHER IN THE SENSOR OR THE DOOR LATCH ITSELF. AT FIRST IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN AT RANDOM, BUT NOW SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE OFTEN. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR A FEW WEEKS. WILL BE TAKING IT TO BE REPAIRED IN A FEW DAYS.

2013 FORD EDGE SEL WITH 33000 MILES, DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES. IT KEEPS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING, CONTINOUSLY WARNS DRIVER WITH DOOR OPEN MESSAGES ON DASHBOARD EVEN WHEN IT'S DOOR IS CLOSED. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE ALSO DRAINED MY CAR BATTERY SINCE I HAD TO REPLACE IT BACK IN SEPT 2016. FORD PLEASE RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE ASAP.

DOOR LATCH ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR BROKE

WHEN CLOSING THE DRIVER DOOR THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WITH THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED AND ALSO A NOISE INDICATOR EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND CLOSE THE DOOR. ALSO WHEN TRYING TO USE THE KEYPAD TO LOCK THE CAR FROM THE OUTSIDE SOMETIMES IT WON'T LOCK. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS INCONSISTENT, SOMETIMES IT WILL STAY ON, OTHER TIMES IT WILL TURN OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. AFTER A $200 FEE TO JUST LOOK AT THE VEHICLE THEY SAID IT IS THE DOOR LATCH WHICH IS A COMMON DEFECT AND WILL COAST UPWARD OF $500 WITH LABOR AND PARTS TO FIX. AFTER DOING RESEARCH TO TRY AND SEE IF I COULD REPAIR IT MYSELF I FOUND I WAS NOT ALONE IN HAVING THIS ISSUE AND WAS ENCOURAGED TO FILE A COMPLAIN ON THIS SITE.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALARM WENT OFF LAST WEEK WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WILL NOT STOP. THIS IS CAUSING ME TO GET A CONSTANT WARNING WHILE I'M DRIVING THAT MY DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR AND TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK. IT ALSO MAKES MY INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN MY CAR IS TURNED OFF (WHICH IS KILLING MY NEW BATTERY) AND MY DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. NO AMOUNT OF SLAMMING THE DOOR SHUT OR CLEANING OF THE DOOR LATCH CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. I AM HAVING TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY IN ORDER TO NOT DRAIN MY NEW BATTERY DOWN FROM THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYING ON.

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR ALARM ACTIVATES WHEN THE DOOR IS NOT OPEN. THIS CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHT TO REMAIN ON FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES BEFORE SHUTOFF. WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, THEN COMES TO A STOP SAY, AT AN INTERSECTION, AN ALARM SOUNDS AGAIN AND REQUESTS THAT YOU SHIFT TO PARK. I HIT THE OK BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT THE PROCESS REPEATS. I HAVE SOMETIMES BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE ALARMS BY WIGGLING THE WIRING HARNESS AT THE DOOR HINGE, BUT THIS MAY BE COINCIDENTAL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING, AND WHEN STILL. THE AUTO LOCK WILL ALSO NOT ENGAGE DURING THE ALARM, AND EVEN WHEN MANUALLY ACTIVATING IT WON'T ENGAGE. I NEVER KNOW IF THIS IS A TRUE ALARM OR NOT. I ASSUME ALWAYS IT IS FALSE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ASSUMPTION. REPEATED DOOR SLAMMING OR NORMAL CLOSING DOES NOT STOP THE ALARM. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY AND HAS BEEN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I SEE THE ISSUE ON CAR COMPLAINT SITES, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE FALLS FROM A MOVING VEHICLE THINKING THE ALARM WAS FALSE WHEN IT WAS NOT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR REAR HATCH WOULD NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

WE RECENTLY HEARD THAT THE EDGE WAS BEING INVESTIGATED BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LATCH. WE WANT TO REPORT THAT WE HAVE HAD THAT PROBLEM. WE BOUGHT A 2013 EDGE IN DEC 2015. DURING THE FIRST WEEK WE STARTED GETTING THE WARNING MESSAGE THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY NOT. IT DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME WE DROVE THE CAR, BUT WHEN IT DID HAPPEN, THE MESSAGE KEPT REPEATING & THERE WAS NO WAY TO STOP IT. ON JULY 26, 2016, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER & FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM WAS THE DOOR LATCH. IT COST $486.57 FOR REPLACEMENT (SEE INVOICE). WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION, I TALKED TO THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP & HE SAID THAT IT WAS 'POSSIBLE' THAT WE WOULD BE REIMBURSED BY FORD IF A RECALL WERE ISSUED. ANOTHER FORD WORKER IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID HE DOES NOT THINK THERE WILL BE A RECALL BECAUSE THERE HAVE NOT BEEN THAT MANY INCIDENTS. AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION INDICATES THAT THERE MUST HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF INCIDENTS. IF THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. WE ARE LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND $486.57 IS A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF OUR INCOME. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR FORD'S MISTAKE. WE URGE YOU TO ISSUE A RECALL SO THAT WE CAN ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN REIMBURSEMENT. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON. THE DOORS WON"T LOCK AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE DOOR IS REALLY CLOSED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONERY OR IN MOTION.

DOOR LATCH DID NOT PROPERLY SIGNAL WHETHER OR NOT THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. DROVE AWAY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH A DOOR THAT WAS NOT LATCHED PROPERLY BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS ALWAYS GIVING A FALSE SIGNAL THAT THE DOOR WAS OPEN.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH IS FAULTY. CLAIMS THE DOOR IS OPEN, EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT. UNABLE TO LOCK DOORS, AND NOW JUST GOT A DEAD BATTERY BECAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON.

DOOR LATCH DOES NOT FULLY SHUT DRIVERS SIDE. LIGHTS AND DOOR AJAR REMAIN ON. EVEN IF OFF DURING DRIVING THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT MAY COME ON SUDDENLY AFTER TURNING CORNERS. ONLINE COMMENTS SUGGEST LATCH SENSOR ARM CONTINUES TO TOUCH DOOR LATCH WHEN CLOSED OR DOOR LATCH DOES NOT FULLY ENGAGE.

DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK, CAN POP OPEN WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION.

THE CAR CANNOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED. THE LIGHT PANEL WILL SHOW DOOR OPEN, A LIGHT WILL COME ON TELLING ME THE DOOR IS OPEN, SHIFT INTO PARK, AND IF I AM DRIVING, SOUNDS WILL CHIME UNTIL I PARK. THE DOOR OCCASIONALLY WILL BE RECOGNIZED AS CLOSED, BUT 80% OF THE TIME, IT WILL NOT. I,WAS TOLD AT THE DEALER THAT THE PROBLEM IS COMMON IN FORDS AND THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE LATCH MECHANISM IN THE DOOR.

FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH WARNING LIGHT AND INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING, DOOR NEEDS TO BE SLAMMED SHUT A COUPLE OF TIMES FOR WARNING LIGHTS TO TURN OFF. WARNING LIGHT APPEARS MORE FREQUENTLY AND NOW APPEARING WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON, UNTIL DOOR IS SLAMMED SHUT.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSING MECHANISM FAILS CHRONICALLY, RESULTING IN ONGOING ALARMS, WHICH IS DISTRACTING THE DRIVER, AND AN A LEARNED DISREGARD TO THE DOOR POSITION.

DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD INDICATE THE DOOR WAS OPEN AT VARIOUS RANDOM TIMES, EVEN WHEN IT WAS CLOSED. TOOK CAR TO DEALER 3/2013 WHERE THEY SERVICED THE LATCH AND THE ISSUE RESOLVED FOR ABOUT A YEAR. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER AND THEY WOULDN'T REPAIR IT UNLESS I PAID FOR A NEW LATCH. CLEANING AND LUBRICATING THE LATCH SOMETIMES HELPED FOR A FEW HOURS OR DAYS BUT THE PROBLEM ALWAYS RETURNED. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING OR NOT, AND BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING. REPLACED THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY 8/2016 (WHICH CONTAINS THE DOOR SWITCH) AND THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. THE REPLACEMENT LATCH ASSEMBLY PART NO. 8T4Z-7821813-B HAS BEEN UPDATED TWICE PER FORD PARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE 'DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SECURELY LOCKED ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR MECHANISM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT COMES ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT. IT'S BLINDING AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FACT IT LEAVES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ON CAUSING YOU NOT TO SEE OUTSIDE AND UNSAFE DRIVING WITH UNLOCKED DOORS WITH KIDS

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON WHILE DOOR IS CLOSED (IN MOTION, IDLE AND OFF), RESULTING IN THE BATTERY TO BE DRAINED IF LEFT OFF TOO LONG. THIS HAS LEFT ME NEEDING TO GET A JUMP IF OUT AND MULTIPLE TIMES CHARGE MY BATTERY IF IT SITS TOO LONG.

"DRIVER DOOR AJAR" AROUND 40K PLUS MILES WE STARTED GETTING THIS ISSUE. EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSE IT KEEPS SAYING "DRIVER DOOR AJAR". IT WON'T LOCK THE DOOR BECAUSE OF THIS. EVEN WHEN YOU PARKED AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE ONCE YOU TRY TO LOCK THE DOOR IT WON'T. THIS MAY CAUSE POTENTIAL BATTERY DAMAGE OR WORST PEOPLE CAN JUST SIMPLY OPEN YOUR DOOR WHEN YOU ARE IN A STOP WHILE ON THE ROAD. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON, TRY YOUTUBE AND SEARCH FOR FORD DOOR AJAR. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING THIS ISSUE BUT STILL NO RECALL.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. IT KEEPS ME FROM LOCKING THE DOORS WHILE INSIDE. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ISSUE FIXED WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE DRIVER DOOR BUT THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING AGAIN WITH THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THIS ISSUE IS PRESENT AT ALL TIMES.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH IS DEFECTIVE. THE DOOR IS AJAR LIKE STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. INSIDE CABIN AND DOME LIGHTS STAY ON WHICH CREATES A HAZARD AT NIGHT. MORE IMPORTANTLY THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WITH THE "DOOR IS AJAR" SIGNAL ON. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME BECAUSE MY WIFE (WHOSE CAR IT IS) CAN BE SUBJECT TO A POTENTIAL CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. ADDITIONALLY IT POSES A THREAT TO MY GRANDCHILDREN BECAUSE WE CANNOT ENGAGE THE CHILD LOCK SAFETY FEATURE. FORD TOLD ME IF WOULD COST $400 JUST IN LABOR AND NOT INCLUDING PART TO REPAIR. TO KEEP MY BATTERY FROM DRAINING I HAVE HAD TO REMOVE THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS. ANOTHER PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM A MAJOR MANUFACTURER. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO CORRECT IT. MY CAR ONLY HAS 42K. WHAT'S TO BE DONE.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR ALWAYS ON, SOMETIMES DOORS WANT LOCK WITH DOOR AJAR, MAKES CAR UNSAFE INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON, UNSAFE. ENGINE LIGHT ON, HAS CAME ON TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, FIRST CODE CHECK EVAP EMISSION SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, ALL THE DOORS FAILED TO REMAIN LOCKED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON EVEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED SO THAT WHEN DRIVING ALL OF DOORS CAN'T LOCKED. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DRIVING.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON SAYING DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS OPEN. TAKES SEVERAL DOOR SLAMS TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. SAFETY ISSUES: LIGHT STAYS ON DAY OR NIGHT. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING AND THERE ARE KIDS IN THIS CAR. CAN'T LOCK DOORS OR SET YOUR ALARM WHEN LEAVING YOUR CAR=THEFT. I DID THE RECALL JUNE 6, 2015 AND NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. BROUGHT IT TO FORD TODAY JUNE 2, 2016 AND QUOTED FIX PRICE IS $600.00. CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR US.

FORD EDGE LATCH DOOR AJAR DOME LIGHTS STAY ON

DRIVER'S DOOR "AJAR" ALARM IS ON CONTINUOUSLY, EVEN WHEN DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. ALARM NOTIFICATION AND CHIME COMES ON EVERY TIME CARE STARTS MOVING FORWARD. NOTIFICATION STATES TO PUT CAR IN PARK. INTERNET SEARCHES REVEAL THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE.

MY DOOR AJAR ALARM STAYS ON EVEN AFTER THE DOOR IS CLOSE SECURELY. GOT FIX LAST YEAR AND IT HAD AGAIN. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON ALL THE FORD VEHICLES APPARENTLY. PLEASE RECALL THIS ERROR.

DURING ACCELERATION A STRONG EXHAUST ODOR ENTERS THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE FORD SERVICE AT THE DEALER STATED THAT FORD HAS ISSUED A BULLETIN STATING THAT THE BODY SEAMS IN BACK NEAR THE REAR BUMPER NEED TO BE RESEALED, VENTS REPLACED AND A FUSER USED TO SEAL THE BODY. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE - ALLOWING DANGEROUS EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. FORD REFUSES TO CORRECT THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW THAT CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE.

EXPERIENCED 2 SEPARATE INCIDENTS OF CONSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH DOOR AJAR LIGHT BEING SIGNALED WHEN IN FACT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. FIRST INCIDENT AT 37027 MILES, SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY. SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AT 54000 MILES. SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO NEEDING TO PUT CAR IN PARK IN ORDER TO ATTEMPT ANOTHER DOOR CLOSE. MUST OFTEN SLAM THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF. TSB 14-0083 SUGGESTS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS THE INTERIOR LIGHT FROM GOING OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT DUE TO IT CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES TO HAVE THE LIGHT ON. IT ALSO PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. ANYONE COULD OPEN MY CAR DOORS WHILE STOPPED AT A SIGNAL LIGHT OR PARKED IN PARKING LOT. IF YOU TRY TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK AGAIN. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART IMMEDIATELY. THIS ISSUE IS AFFECTING MANY FORD OWNERS WITH VARIOUS MODELS SPANNING 2007-2014 AND IT HAPPENS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. MY PROBLEM STARTED AT 39,0000 MILES AND THE WARRANT EXPIRED AT 36,000 MILES.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND WARNING TONES REMAIN ON WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON. DOORS CAN NOT BE LOCKED PROPERLY...

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING SIGN AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. IT POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT PREVENTS YOU FROM LOCKING THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM LAST YEAR AND I HAD IT FIXED AT A LOCAL FORD SERVICE CENTER BUT THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS PART MALFUNCTION AS IT PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD.

TAKATA RECALL: DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR INDICATOR STAYS ON WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO STAY ON. AT NIGHT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WILL BACKING UP THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND HAS CAUSE ME TO BACK INTO TRASH CAN. I'M VERY FORTUNATE IT WASN'T A PERSON OR VEHICLE. MY DOORS WILL NOT LOCK THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT I TRANSPORT DOWN SOME HIGH CRIME AREAS. ALSO MY GAS CAP SEAL DOESN'T SEAL PROPERLY WHEN I GET GAS MY CAR IS HARD TO START.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR CLAIMS THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT. THE LIGHTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE STAY ON AND THE DASH WILL SAY DRIVER DOOR AJAR. IF YOU SHIFT TO DRIVE, THEN THE CAR WILL DING AND ASK YOU TO SHIFT TO PARK.

THE DOOR OPEN SENSOR COMES ON WHEN I AM DRIVING WHEN THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED AND THEN THE INTERIOR LIGHT COMES ON, IT WILL ALSO COME ON WHEN I AM PARKED WHEN IT IS CLOSED. I HAD IT REPLACED WITHIN THE LAST YEAR AND IT IS DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING AGAIN. ALSO WHEN MY EDGE IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT IT WILL SMELL LIKE FUEL IN THE MORNINGS. IT SMELLS LIKE THERE IS A LEAK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. AFTER CLOSING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE DOOR WAS STILL OPEN. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,690.

ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 2015, THE DRIVERS' SIDE DOOR WILL BE FIRMLY CLOSED AND THE 'DOOR AJAR' ALARM WILL CONTINUALLY SOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL REPEATEDLY SOUND DESPITE REPEATED OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE DOOR. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION FOR ABOUT 100 FEET, THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT FUNCTION (STAY UNLOCKED), AND THE DOOR AJAR ALARM WILL CONTINUALLY SOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP OR SLOWS DOWN TO LESS THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 THAT THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON AND DRIVEN. THIS OCCURS WHEN IN MOTION, STATIONARY, ON OUR DRIVEWAY, ON THE CITY STREETS OR OTHER ROADWAYS, ETC.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STOPPED WORKING (MAKING THE CAR THINK THE DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN IT WAS IN FACT CLOSED). THIS PREVENTS THE CAR FROM LOCKING WHILE DRIVING (A SAFETY ISSUE) AND ALSO CAUSES THE DOME LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING (A FURTHER SAFETY ISSUE). IT ALSO CAUSES THE DRIVER DISPLAY TO BEEP AND MAKE DISTRACTING POPUP MENUS WHILE DRIVING, WHICH CAN DISTRACT THE DRIVER. I PREVIOUSLY HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT IT HAS RE-OCCURRED ON THE SAME DOOR. THEN I GOOGLED IT AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH LOTS OF FORD DOOR SENSORS DATING BACK SEVERAL YEARS.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT OFTEN STAYS ON OR SUDDENLY COMES ON WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK (OR WILL UNLOCK) AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT COMES ON. THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BACK UP AT NIGHT. IT WILL SOMETIME HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS JUST SITTING IN THE GARAGE WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING AND NO PASSENGERS IN IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR MANY REASONS. AGAIN, IT HAS HAPPENED SITTING, WHEN FIRST STARTED AND WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WILL PUT IN A DATE BELOW BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

DOOR LATCH INCORRECTLY REPORTS THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT. THIS TURNS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AND DRAINS THE BATTERY, ALSO WILL NOT LET YOU TURN ON THE ALARM. ALSO MAKES YOU PULL OVER TO SHUT THE DOOR. HAD IT IN FOR SERVICE TWICE AND THEY FIXED IT, AT LEASE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THAN IT CAME BACK. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, BUT NOT EVERYTIME.

WITH ALL DOORS CLOSED SECURELY, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING SOUNDS. IT SEEMS TO BE ONLY THE DRIVERS DOOR AT THIS TIME. WHEN THE DOOR AJAR WARNING IS ACTIVE, THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, AND THERE IS A PERSISTENT CHIME THAT SOUNDS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IN PARK, IN DRIVE, AND WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN THE ROAD. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER FOR THIS, ONCE DURING WARRANTY, AND RECENTLY WHILE OUT OF WARRANTY. DEALER WANTS $433.14 TO REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

DOOR AJAR SWITCH KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. DOOR WILL BE COMPLETELY CLOSED AND WARNING LIGHT COMES ON SAYING DRIVER'S DOOR IS STILL OPEN. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND WARNING LIGHT COMES ON TO TELL YOU TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. FOUND MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH SAME PROBLEM. FORD CHARGING $300.00 TO $500.00 TO REPLACE SWITCH. WE HAVE TAKING IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID IT JUST NEEDED ADJUSTMENT. SWITCH IS NOW MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR BEING FIXED.

CAR DISPLAYS A WARNING LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS NOT PROPERLY CLOSED. FORD DEALER CLEANED AND ADJUSTED DOOR LATCH BUT THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR IN DRIVER DOOR REMAINS IN "AJAR" STATUS EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS CAUSES AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION WITH THE FOLLOWING: 1. CONTINUOUS ALERT 2. DOME LIGHT REMAINS LIT, CAUSING VISION ISSUE WHILE NIGHT DRIVING 3. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK THE LAST ONE IS THE MOST CONCERNING AS IT COULD CREATE A SITUATION WHERE A DOOR MAY ACCIDENTALLY BE OPENED DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. ALSO COULD CREATE ISSUES IN HIGHER CRIME AREAS AT STOPLIGHTS (SOMEONE COULD ACCESS THE CAR DUE TO NOT BEING LOCKED) THIS SITE REQUIRES ME TO LIST A DATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND I HAVE ENTERED THE FIRST DAY I REMEMBER IT, BUT IT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

BOTH THE DRIVER AND DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR LATCHES AND SENSOR FAILED. THE SENSOR BELIEVES THAT THE DOORS ARE AJAR WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE NOT. BECAUSE OF THIS FAILURE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING UNTIL YOU REACH A CERTAIN SPEED. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO SEE OUT. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO STAY ON FOR A VERY LONG TIME AFTER YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. IF YOU TAKE THIS IN TO BE FIXED IT COSTS AT LEAST $345.

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SENSE THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THIS RESULTS IN THE DOORS NOT LOCKING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. IT ALSO CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON FOR A LONG TIME. I THINK THAT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD.

ONCE AGAIN THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED, AND ALL DOORS/HATCH ARE PROPERLY CLOSED. I HAVE TO SLAM THE DRIVER'S DOOR VERY HARD MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT WILL GO OFF AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE LOCKED, AND THE ALARM TO BE SET!!! MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE FRUSTRATING THING IS I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER IN JUNE AND THEY CLAIM THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. WELL, THEY WERE WRONG, VERY WRONG!

THE DOOR LATCH IS DEFECTIVE. IT READS THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS REALLY CLOSED.

DRIVER DOOR SHOWS AJAR EVEN WHEN CLOSED. HAVE TO CLOSE MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THE SWITCH TO RECOGNIZE IT IS CLOSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE WARNING INDICATOR DISPLAYED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS AJAR EVEN THOUGH ALL FOUR DOORS WERE CLOSED SECURELY. THE FOUR DOORS FAILED TO LOCK WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN OF THE SPECIFIC PART THAT WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

DOOR ADJAR WARNING KEEPS COMING ON EVEN AFTER DOOR IS SHUT HARD. BEEN TOLD IT'S A FAULTY DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY BY DEALER. VEHICLE DOES THIS WHEN STATIONARY.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK, SPECIFICALLY THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR, STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AFTER APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE AS LONG AS THE DOOR AJAR ERROR APPEARS ON THE MESSAGE WINDOW, THE COMPUTER WILL NOT ALLOW ANY OF THE DOORS TO LOCK. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE OCCUPANT(S) COULD BE EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR A ROLLOVER. ADDITIONALLY, THE DEALER WANTS BETWEEN $300 AND $500 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART (COST $90) DUE TO HAVING TO DISMANTLE THE DOOR TO ACCESS THE PART. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THERE ARE DO IT YOURSELFERS REPAIRING OR DISABLING THE SENSOR, WHICH COULD CREATE OTHER DANGERS IF THE DOOR IS NOT PROPERLY RECONSTRUCTED. FURTHER INTERNET RESEARCH REVEALED THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE ABOUT 1996 AND IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ACROSS SEVERAL MODELS AND PLATFORMS (CARS, TRUCKS AND SUV'S). THE OTHER MINOR ANNOYANCE IS THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF AS LONG AS THE SENSOR IS ACTIVATED, CAUSING BATTERY DRAIN AND SECURITY ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DOOR AJAR LIGHT ILLUMINATED CAUSING THE DOORS NOT TO BE ABLE TO LOCK OR UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO REMAINED ILLUMINATED, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO FAIL PREMATURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A FAILURE CODE WAS LOCATED AT THE REAR DOOR LOCKS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT FOR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,507.

THE DOOR LOCK SENSOR HAS BECOME DEFECTIVE ON THE CAR CAUSING THE DOOR AJAR WARNING TO STAY ON AT ALL TIMES. BEING A NURSE, I GO TO WORK VERY EARLY AND TRAVEL FOR 30 MILES EACH WAY. WHEN THIS ISN'T SENSOR ISN'T WORKING THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND THERE IS A CONSTANT DINGING NOISE TO CLOSE THE DOOR AGAIN EVERY TIME I STOP. DRIVING TO DOWNTOWN DALLAS IS VERY UNSAFE IN THE MY CAR NOW. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR MILES AND IT IS HARD TO DRIVE IN THE DARK WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. TWO DEALERSHIPS SAY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE FORD EDGE AND THEY HAVE RECEIVED BULLETINS ON THE PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL. THEY SAY THE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OUT AND CLEANED, IT IS NOT BROKEN THEREFORE THE WARRANTY NOR EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE $400 REPAIR. PLEASE HELP MAKE FORD FIX THIS PROBLEM BY ISSUING A RECALL. ...UPDATED 10/29/15*BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ERRONEOUSLY INDICATING THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT SECURED. WHILE THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE INTERIOR LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE DOOR ALARM CHIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON, INABILITY TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN VEHICLE.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, ENGINE ON AND WHILE DRIVING. DOOR LIGHT CONSISTENTLY STAYS ON WHEN DRIVING AND DOOR IS CLOSED. UPDATED 09/09/15*LJ UPDATED 12/9/2015*JS

DRIVER DOOR AGAR LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. I HAVE TO REPETITIVELY SLAM MY DOOR FIFTEEN TO TWENTY TIMES FOR LIGHT TO GO OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE INSIDE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT IS DRAINING MY BATTERY. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD VEHICLES AND I VOICED MY CONCERN TO THEM AND TOLD THEM THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IT SHOULD BE AT FORD'S EXPENSE NOT OWNERS EXPENSE. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID TO SAVE MY RECEIPT IF THERE IS AN UPCOMING RECALL.

THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AFTER THE BREAK PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WHICH RESULTED IN A CRASH INTO A TREE. DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP. AT LEAST THREE OTHER INCIDENTS WHERE THE CAR SURGED FORWARD BUT DID NOT RESULT IN A CRASH. TOOK THE CAR TO FUTURE FORD AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NOTHING WAS DONE. LATEST EVENT ON 5/22/2015 WHERE THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. IN BOTH INCIDENTS, WE WERE LUCKY IN THAT NOBODY WAS INJURED. THE SURGES LAST ABOUT 4 TO 5 SECONDS.THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOTHING IS DONE TO STOP THE SURGE EXCEPT PUSH HARDER ON THE BREAK PEDAL. FUTURE FORD SERVICE MANAGER STATED NOTHING CAN BE DONE WITHOUT POSITIVE PROOF IN THE ERROR CODES.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON. MAYBE SEVERAL TIMES OF CLOSING IT REAL HARD TURNS IT OFF L. WILL EVEN ILLUMINATE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STREET, SUDDENLY THE "DRIVERS DOOR AJAR" ALARM AND WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ON THE DASH, THE DOOR WAS SECURED SHUT, BUT INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON AS IF DOOR WAS OPEN. SINCE THE INITIAL DATE OF INCIDENT THE VEHICLE NOW DOES THIS DURING OPERATION, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, OR IN MOTION. A CALL TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT IT WAS INDICATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMPLAINT OF HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF LATE MODEL FORD OWNERS AND THAT, STILL AT THIS TIME, FORDMOCO HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE DOOR LATCHES, THUS IF NOT UNDER THEIR 3YR/36,000MILE WARRANTY THE PART WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT THE VEHICLE OWNERS EXPENSE OF AROUND $400-$500 U.S. FOR THE PART AND REPAIR. I WAS DIRECTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT VIA SAFERCAR.GOV WEBSITE, AND TO ALSO EXPLORE MANY INTERNET WEBSITES AND FORUMS RELATED TO THIS ONGOING ISSUE. UPON A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH, I WAS EASILY ABLE TO FIND THAT INDEED THE FORD SERVICE ADVISER WAS CORRECT IN THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS BY MANY LATE MODEL VEHICLE OWNERS CONCERNING THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR FAILURES, CAUSING THE ALARM/WARNING LIGHT TO ACTIVATE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, OR PARKED, WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS ON OR OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DOOR WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHEN THE DOORS WERE SECURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED DOWN AND WHEN I WENT TO TAKE MY FOOT OF THE GAS MY TENNIS SHOE GOT CAUGHT ON THE PLASTIC TRIM ON THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT NEXT TO THE GAS PEDAL.. I HAD TO PULL HARD TO GET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL THE EDGES HAD THE TRIM AND THEY DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN MY LEG WAS RESTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE GAS PEDAL. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE ILLINOIS FREEWAY. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SLOWED DOWN AND BY THE TIME I GOT MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES QUICKLY AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME. I THINK FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO MODIFY THE TRIM IN THAT AREA. *TR

VEHICLE DOOR IS CLOSED BUT WARNING READS DOOR AJAR. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK BECAUSE THE DOOR IS AJAR BUT IT'S NOT. INSIDE STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 2 MIN WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES I GET I'M AND THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS THEN THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK AND THE DOOR AJAR SHIFT TO PARK POPS ON. OR I COULD BE DRIVING WITH THE DOOR AJAR WARNING ON BUT DOORS ARE CLOSED THEN THE DOORS LOCK AND WARNING GOES AWAY. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SENSOR BUT THE DOOR CLOSES BUT DOES NOT LATCH. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HAS A DOOR AJAR ALARM WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED TIGHTLY . LIGHTS STAY ON AND DOORS DO NOT LOCK. *TR

WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR REMAINS ON ALTHOUGH THE DOOR IS DEFINITELY CLOSED. THE DOOR HAS TO BE SLAMMED SHUT ANYWHERE FROM 3-7 TIMES BEFORE THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR SHUTS OFF. AT TIMES IT SHUTS OFF AND WHILE DRIVING IT COMES BACK ON. IF THE SENSOR REMAINS ON THE DOORS WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. *TR

DRIVER'S DOOR IS SHUT TIGHTLY, BUT "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" LIGHT KEEPS COMING UP INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AND WARNING SOUNDS. STARTED OFF OCCASIONALLY DOING THIS, NOW IS DOING PRACTICALLY EVERY TIME YOU GO TO START THE ENGINE. *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH IS GETTING REPLACED AS IT TELLS US THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN A LOT OF FORD EDGE'S. IT IS COSTING ME $350.00 AND I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY BACK FROM FORD. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT A 2013 SHOULD BE HAVING THOSE KIND OF ISSUES AND FORD SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT OPENED AND CLOSED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON AND THE DOOR CHIME REMAINED ON WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON EVEN WHEN I CLOSE THE DOOR. THE DRIVE DOOR AJAR SENSOR NEVER GOES OFF. IT CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO COME ON WHILE I AM DRIVING, IT WILL NOT LET ME LOCK THE DOORS WHILE I AM INSIDE THE CAR AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR OVER 5 MINUTES WHEN I TRY TO LOCK THE CAR AFTER I GET OUT. THIS IS DRAINING MY BATTERY. *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING (ON SCREEN AS WELL AS REPEATED BELL NOISE) CAME ON WHILE I WAS ON A 2 LANE ROAD WITH NO SHOULDERS AVAILABLE DUE TO SNOW ALONGSIDE ROAD. I WAS FORCED TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD TO OPEN AND CLOSE DOOR REPEATEDLY TO TURN OFF DOOR AJAR. IT FELT LIKE DOOR WAS CLOSED BUT SENSOR KEPT INDICATING IT WAS OPEN. PROBLEM ABATED FOR A FEW DAYS BUT HAS COME BACK NOW. *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

DRIVE DOOR LATCH - DOOR AJAR SIGNAL WILL NOT CLEAR - DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 FORD EDGE WITH LESS 40,000 MILES. THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING THUS PREVENTING THE DOOR TO LOCK WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING. MY CHILD HAS OPENED THE DOOR ON MANY OCCASIONS WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND ALMOST FELL OUT. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THERE MANY ONLINE FORUMS WITH CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE DATING BACK TO 2010. AND INSTEAD OF DOING RECALL FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT CONTINUED TO STAY ON EVEN AFTER CLOSING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. WE "GOOGLED" THE SITUATION AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY OWNERS OF FORD EDGE VEHICLES HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO GET REPAIRED. WE DID HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT ENDED UP PAYING $150 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE TOTAL COST WAS $459.00 (EXTENDED WARRANTY PAID). AFTER READING THE BLOGS ABOUT THIS REPAIR, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS BE A RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS CLOSED THE DISPLAY PANEL SHOWS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS OPEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ALTHOUGH THE DOOR WAS NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

DOOR AJAR WARNING SYSTEM FAILS REPEATEDLY CAUSING AUTO DOOR LOCKS TO UNLOCK ALL DOORS REPEATEDLY - THIS IS APPARENTLY A PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGE SINCE 2006 OR BEFORE - DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM FAILURE REPRESENTS A REAL CONSUMER HAZARD. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC TRUNK HAS NO SENSOR FOR ITEMS OR PEOPLE IN THE WAY. WHEN YOU HIT THE CLOSE BUTTON, IT CONTINUES TO CLOSE DESPITE SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IN ITS PATH. IT HAS NO SENSOR TO RETRACT OR STOP CLOSING. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING THE SPEED AND WEIGHT OF THE DOOR. I WORRY THAT MY CHILD WILL GET CAUGHT IN THE DOOR AS MY SPOUSE AND I HAVE BEEN HIT BY THE DOOR ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. *TR
