2011 Ford Edge Electrical System

THE "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR CONTINUES TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT NUMEROUS TIMES AT THE DEALER, AND THEY'VE ONLY "CLEANED" THE SENSOR, AND LET ME KNOW IT'S NOT A RECALL ITEM. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN IN THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY, AND MAKE IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE OR HAVE GOOD VISIBILITY WHEN BACKING UP. NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE BEEN IN A PARKING LOT AT NIGHT, THE INTERIOR LIGHT IS ON (DUE TO THE DOOR AJAR FALSE INDICATOR) AND YOU CAN BARELY SEE OUT THE WINDOWS. I CONTINUE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND REALIZE THERE IS A PEDESTRIAN I JUST COULDN'T SEE DUE TO THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYING ON. I HAVE ALSO HAD CLOSE CALLS WITH PEDESTRIANS ON A SIDEWALK/WALKING BY AS I AM BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT. THE LIGHT ALSO CONTINUES TO STAY ON EVEN AFTER I'VE BACKED UP AND HAVE NOW PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND AM MOVING FORWARD (DRIVING). IT SEEMS TO GO OUT AT ABOUT 10-15 MPH. BUT EVEN AT THAT SPEED WITH AN INTERIOR LIGHT ON, AND IT IS NOT SAFE. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. THERE'S NO WAY FORD CAN CLAIM THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND IN ADDITION TO THIS NHTSA WEBSITE, THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINT SITES AND BLOGS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND LOOKED INTO FURTHER FOR A RECALL. NOT ACCEPTABLE, FORD!!!

PASSENGER DOOR LATCH DOOR CLOSED SENSOR FAILED. REQUIRES 30+ CLOSURES OF THE DOOR FOR THE SENSOR TO DIM CABIN LIGHTS AND KEEP DOORS LOCKES. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IF DOOR SENSOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT IS CLOSED, WILL UNLOCK ALL CAR DOORS MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR A BACKSEAT CHILD TO OPEN DOORS WHILE IN MOTION.

DOOR AJAR WARNING ALWAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOORS ARE CLOSED. DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND UNABLE TO LOCK OR SECURE THE VEHICLE. DRAINS BATTERY LEAVING ME STRANDED. IT REMAINS ON WHEN THE CAR IS ON, OFF, MOVING, NOT MOVING, WITH OR WITHOUT OCCUPANTS.

DISPLAY SCREEN IS BLACK. NO RADIO, SYNC, CLIMATE CONTROLS ETC. WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALER THAT THE A-PIM MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. VERY EXPENSIVE. WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THERE IS NO WAY TO CLEAR THE ALERT/ALARM AND IT BECOMES VERY HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING WHILE IT IS STILL DARK AND THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ON SIGNALING THE DOOR IS OPEN. THIS WARNING WILL COME ON AT ANY TIME- WHILE STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHILE DRIVING, ETC. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME IT HAPPENS.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON, DOOR LOCK NOT WORKING DRIVER SIDE

CENTER CONSOLE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. CLIMATE, RADIO ETC. I WAS TOLD TO PULL A GREY SQUARE PLUG WIRE OUT OF BOX IN DRIVER SIDE FLOOR PANEL. DID SO RESET RADIO TO AM STATION RESET CLIMATE CONTROL ALL WORKED TILL NEXT TRIP. ALL DEAD AGIAN CAN REPEAT KEEPS GOING OFF. IS THERE A WAY TO RESET, OR REBOOT SOMETHING??

PASSANGER DOOR LATCH SENSOR AND REAR PASSANGER DOOR LATCH SENSOR MALFUNCTION BOTH OF THE LATCH SENSORS ARE NOT WORKING THE DOORS ARE CLOSED BUT THE SENSORS INDICATE THE DOORS ARE OPEN, AND MAKES THE VEHICLE NOT TO LOCKED WHENEVER I AM DRIVING. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I AM SAVING MONEY TO FIX THIS, BUT IN THE TIME I EXTREMELY WORRY ABOUT MY KIDS WHILE I AM DRIVING WITH THEM, I DID SOME SEARCH ONLINE AND A LOT OF FORD EDGE OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

NOTIFICATION OF DOOR AJAR AFTER ENTERING CAR ON DRIVER SIDE. ALERT HAPPENS 80 % OF THE TIME WHEN ENTERING THE CAR FROM THE DRIVER SIDE.

2011 FORD EDGE. THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SETS OFF THE OPEN DOOR SENSOR EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL STAY ON AND WILL ONLY SHUT OFF IF YOU CLOSE THE DOOR ABOUT 20 TIMES EVERY TIME YOU GET INTO THE CAR.

CAR CONTINUOUSLY SAYS THAT IT NEEDS TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALREADY IN PARK.

BRACKE LIGHT, AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON. WE THINK ITS THE CONTROL MODULE AND INTERNAL ELECTRONIC FAILURE. BACK UP CAMERA HAS NOT WORKED IN A VERY LONG TIME. I AM TOLD ITS VERY EXPENSIVE. ANOTHER LADY WHO WAS AT THE SAME MECHANIC HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IM DISTURBED AND NOT HAPPY WITH ECLECTRONIC FAILURE. I DONT THINK ITS NORMAL. CAN YOU DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

CONSTANT DOOR AJAR ON PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. USE TO BE ONE NOW OR IS BOTH. CAUSES SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE THE REAR PASSENGER CAN'T BE LOCKED AS I HAVE A CHILD T BY AT SITS THERE. LIGHTS GO ON INTERNALLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WHICH CAUSES DIFFICULTY DRIVING AT NIGHT. LIGHTS CONSTANTLY GO ON SND OFF THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND NIGHT CAUSING DRAINED BATTERY, AND CONSTANT JUMPS STARTS.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WON'T GO OFF. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND DOORS WON'T LOCK.

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLEARLY CLOSED. IT SINCE INCREASINGLY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT ALWAYS COMES ON ANY TIME THE DOOR IS OPENED, AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AT NIGHT WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE AS THE DOME LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, AS WELL AS THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, & IT CONTINUES TO DRAIN MY BRAND NEW BATTERY THAT WAS JUST INSTALLED.

I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM JUST SHUT OFF. AND THE PANEL SAID CHECK MANUAL. I WAS DRIVING UP A RAMP IN A PARKING LOT.

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR SWITCH DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED.

SYNC RADIO GOES IN AND OUT AND THE SCREEN GOES COMPLETELY DARK FOR AWHILE, SOMETIMES LAST HOURS AND SOMETIMES LASTING DAYS. DEALER CLAIMS THE RADIO IS UPDATING ITSELF. DURING THIS PERIOD THE BACKUP CAMERAS DON'T WORK ALONG OTHER FUNCTIONS CONNECTED TO THE SCREEN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AS WELLING AS STATIONARY TIMES.

OUR 2011 FORD EDGE,WHICH WE BOUGHT NEW FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP,NOW HAS AN ODOMETER READING OF JUST OVER17,000 MILES.AFTER EXPERIENCING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COMING ON AND REMAINING ON WITHOUT THE SWITCH BEING USED OR THE DOORS OPENE,WE NOTICED THAT THE'DRIVERS DOOR AJAR' WARNING CAME ON AND THE DOOR WAS ACTUALLY CLOSED TIGHTLY.THE INTERIOR DOOR LOCKS WOULD ENGAGE AND RELEASE REPEATEDLY WHILE DRIVING.THIS WAS THE GREATEST CAUSE OF ALARM FOR US BECAUSE OUR SMALL GREAT GRANDCHILDREN OFTEN RIDE WITH US. OUR BATTERY WENT BAD AND FROM WHAT I CAN DETERMINE,THIS MAY BE THE REASON.MY WIFE IS THE PRINCIPAL OPERATOR AND NO LONGER FEELS SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM EXISTING.I HAVE CONTACTED FOMOCO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THERE IS NO RECOURSE OTHER THAN PAY THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE ACTUATOR.I FEEL THAT AS MANY PROBLEMS AS HAVE OCCURRED WITH THESE PARTS,A RECALL SHOULD ALREADY HAVE BEEN DONE BY FORD...THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC AND ALSO WHILE PARKED IN OUR DRIVE.THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSORS ARE ERRATIC AND OFTEN REPORT FALSE AJAR CONDITIONS. THIS RESULTS IN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS NOT GOING OUT UNTIL YOU REACH A CERTAIN FORWARD SPEED AND THE THE DOORS WILL NOT STAY LOCKED WITH THE POWER LOCKS, YOU PRESS LOCK AND THEY UNLOCK. THE LIGHTS ALSO COME ON RANDOMLY WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED. THESE SENSORS HAVE A 100% FAILURE RATE AND ARE PART OF THE DOOR LATCH SO THEY ARE EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. IT MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS MANEUVERING THE CAR AT NIGHT WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AND IT IS PRETTY UNSAFE TO NOT BE ABLE TO LOCK ALL THE DOORS AND HAVE THEM STAY LOCKED.

DOOR SENSOR STATES DOOR IS OPEN, WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED. CAN HAVE ISSUES WITH DOORS UNLOCKING WHEN PARKED, LEAVING A ISSUE FOR BEING ROBBED, ALSO LIGHTS CAN REMAIN ON WHICH WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY. LIGHTS WILL ALSO STAY ON WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS AN ISSUE AT NIGHT.

THE LEFT REAR DOOR CLOSED SWITCH FAILED CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THIS CAUSED THE BATTERY TO BE DRAINED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED, STRANDING MY DAUGHTER AND MOTHER-IN-LAW.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. THE DOORS WON'T LOCK DUE TO THIS. SAFETY HAZARD FOR EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE

I HAVE THE INFAMOUS "DOOR ALWAYS AJAR" PROBLEM ON MY FORD EDGE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY THAT GETS CORRODED AND STOPS INDICATING THE DOOR IS CLOSED. WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, THE LOCKS WON'T LOCK, POSING A HAZARD IN A ACCIDENT, IMO. IF THIS IS AT NIGHT, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AND THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO BE STARTLED AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF IT IS PARKED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF AND DRAINS THE BATTERY, POSSIBLY STRANDING THE DRIVER IN AN UNFRIENDLY AREA. I LOVE THIS CAR BUT I CAN'T TRUST IT OR DRIVE IT UNTIL IT IS FIXED. THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IT IS OF THEIR OWN MAKING AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT IS UNACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AND FOR YOUR WORK AT KEEPING THE PUBLIC SAFE!

I NOW HAVE HAD 2 DOOR SENSORS GO BAD. I KNOW OF MANY PEOPLE WITH FAULTY SENSORS. THIS NOT ONLY IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE DOME LIGHTS NEVER GO OUT, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW THE TRUE POSITION OF THE DOORS. THE CARS DOME LIGHTS STAY ON AFTER YOU GET OUT AND LOCK IT CAUSING DEAD BATTERIES! I'VE HAD TO REPLACE TWO BATTERIES AND A DOOR SENSOR ALREADY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. NOT TO MENTION VERY EXPENSIVE. I JUST BOUGHT A HOUSE AND HAD A BABY.
