2011 Ford Edge UNKNOWN OR OTHER

AFTER SHUTTING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINED ON. AFTER SHUTTING IT AGAIN IT WENT OFF. OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND NOW THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. THE DOOR ARE UNABLE TO BE LOCKED, BECAUSE THEY JUST UNLOCK THEMSELVES BECAUSE THE KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY WIFE WHO WORKS IN POSSIBLY DANGEROUS AREAS AND CANNOT LOCK HER DOORS AT STOP LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, IT WON'T SHUT OFF. SAME WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS BECAUSE OF THIS. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

TELL US WHAT HAPPENED: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: MY VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHETHER MY DOOR IS OPENED OR CLOSED. I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED THAT EVEN SHUTTING IT MAY LEAD TO ISSUES BECAUSE THE ALERT IS SAYING ITS NOT IS NOT CLOSED. WILL MY DOOR RADOMLY OPEN ON THE HIGHWAY? IF IM IN AND ACCIDENT WILL I BE THROWN OUT OF THE CAR? I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND EVEN PUT MY CAR IN THE SHOP THREE. THEY GAVE A TEMPORARY FIX AND REALLY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD ABOUT IT AND THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE RECALLED IN ORDER THEM TO LOOK IN TO THE ISSUE. MY GIRLFRIEND PURCHASE THE CAR AT THE SAME TIME AND SHE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NOT ONLY HER DRIVERS DOOR BUT HER PASSENGER DOORS WHICH COULD ENDANGER HE CHILDREN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. WE ARE AFRAID THAT THIS ISSUE COULD POTENTIALLY HURT ALOT OF PEOPLE

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR REMAINS ON INTERMITTENTLY. OCCASIONALLY AFTER REPEATED SHUTTING OF THE DOOR IT WILL GO OFF. THE AIR BAGS ARE EFFECTED. I UNDERSTAND THEY WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THIS LIGHT REMAINS ON.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN MONTGOMERY AL AT 60MPH. IT WAS NOT RAINING, ROUGHLY 78 DEGREES. I HEARD A LOUD POP & THEN GLASS SHOWERED DOWN ON ME. THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO PRIOR DAMAGE & IT WAS NOT HIT BY ANYTHING. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME NOR DID ANYTHING FALL DOWN ON THE CAR. A HOLE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUN ROOF PROTRUDING OUTWARD AND IT WAS SHATTERED EVERY WHERE ELSE. I DO HAVE PICTURES. THE FORD DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAVE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THIS HOWEVER, I HAVE FOUND OTHER REPORTED CASES. MY INSURANCE WILL BE TAKING CARE OF THIS SINCE FORD BRUSHED IT OFF.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER CLOSING THE DRIVERS DOOR. (IN MY CASE, RIGHT NOW THE DRIVERS DOOR IS THE ONLY DOOR EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER I IMAGINE ANY DOOR WITH A FAULTY SENSOR WILL GENERATE THE SAME CONDITION) THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING, OR FOR THAT MATTER THEY CANNOT BE LOCKED AT ALL. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. THERE IS NO WAY TO OVERRIDE THIS. THIS IS POTENTIALLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BOTH BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND THE INSIDE LIGHTING MAY INTERFERE WITH VISIBILITY. FROM RESEARCH, THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT FORD NEED TO ADDRESS.

AFTER CLOSING DRIVER SIDE DOOR DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO HAVE THIS LIGHT GO OFF BUT IT DOES NOT WORK. *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO STAY ON AND CAR NOT TO LOCK. WEATHER YOU ARE PARKING OR TRYING TO DRIVE AWAY, YOU HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR A BUNCH OF TIMES FOR IT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DOOR IS SHUT.

I BELIEVE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY HAS FAILED AS THE EDGE HAS SIMILAR MALFUNCTIONS AS OTHER FORDS AFFECTED BY THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. THE EDGE DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND DISPLAY A WRENCH ON THE SYNC SYSTEM.

WHILE DRIVING 25-40 MPH, THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE, NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. "YELLOW WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION, MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND I COULD NOT MOVE THE CAR. THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF OR STALL. I JUST HAD NO POWER OR ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO ROLL INTO A SAFE SPOT, OUT OF TRAFFIC AND HARMS WAY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR RAN FINE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE, TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AND WANTED ME TO JUST TAKE IT AS IS. I MENTIONED THAT I HAD READ ABOUT ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, AND THEY SAID IT SEEMED FINE. HOW CAN THEY ALLOW ME TO TAKE A CAR THAT IS SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE? I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT, AND THE PERSON THAT HIT ME COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS, REGARDING AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY WERE REQUIRED TO DO A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM;. BUT MY VIN DID NOT FALL INTO THIS PROGRAM. I PAID TO HAVE THE ETB REPLACED, OUT OF POCKET, AND AM HOPING THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM. VERY UNSAFE SITUATION TO BE PUT IN BY FORD. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR REMAINS ON. THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. 2ND OCCURRENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NOW THE DEALER WANTS $500.00 TO REPAIR IT. THIS OCCURS IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED AND REMAINS ON THE ENTIRE TIME THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING.

DRIVING ALONG AND THE CAR LOST POWER, WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. WE SHUT CAR OFF AND IT STARTED AND WE RESUMED DRIVING. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED 5 TIMES. CALLED FORD AND THEY WERE NO RECALLS BUT IF YOU LOOK ON LINE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHICH CAN CAUSE SOMEONE'S LIFE! I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY FORD. I CALLED FORD AND RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER [XXX] THE PART (THROTTLE) COST 600 TO FIX SINCE IT WAS NOT COVERED. I HOPE THAT THERE IS NO FATALITIES WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE FORD RECOGNIZES IT! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN YOU STOP THE CAR AND PUT INTO PARK A WARNING SIGN COMES ON INDICATING THAT YOU NEED TO PUT THE SHIFT LEVER IN PARK. YOU CAN CLICK THE BUTTON ON THE FORWARD PART OF THE SHIFT LEVER TO RELEASE THE WARNING. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE THE DISASSEMBLY OF THE SHIFT LEVER TO FIX, SO I TOLD HIM I WOULD LIVE WITH IT. I DIDN'T WANT ANY GREATER PROBLEMS TO ARISE FROM THEIR WORK ON THE SHIFT LEVER. AFTER MY WARRANTY WAS OVER I WAS TOLD THAT A SIMPLE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT WAS ALL THAT'S REQUIRED. WHAT A PAIN, AS IT COMES ON OFTEN! FORD SHOULD FIX THIS.

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 6 MONTHS, IN APRIL 2014 THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR OVERHEATED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND EMPTIED ALL THE ANTIFREEZE ON THE THIRD TIME. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER, DEALER FOUND NO ERROR CODES AND LET THE VEHICLE RUN FOR 4 HRS WITH THE A/C ON AND FOUND NOTHING TO BE WRONG. A FEW WEEKS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR JUST SHUT DOWN, LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES. RESTARTED CAR AND CONTINUED HOME. ALSO, THE CAR HAS DIED WHILE 5 MORE TIMES SINCE THEN WHILE SITTING IN A DRIVE THROUGH FOR A FEW MINUTES. AND FINALLY YESTERDAY, THE CAR JUST STOPPED 4 TIMES WITHIN A 2 MILE PERIOD. VERY FRUSTRATED AND AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN I AM TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND POSSIBLE GET REAR ENDED OR KILLED. *JS

THE DOOR LATCH SWITCH IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM ON MANY FORD VEHICLES AND FORD REFUSES TO RECALL THE PRODUCT. IT COULD LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THE DOOR IS REALLY AJAR AND THE DOOR MAY OPEN, DRAIN THE BATTERY AND WHEN THE DOOR SWITCH IS MALFUNCTIONING, IT STATES THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. *JS

MY DOOR SENSOR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, WHICH IS KEEPING MY VEHICLE FROM LOCKING. THE MALFUNCTION IS WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED MODEL. SOMETIMES YOU COULD SHOULD THE DOOR 20 TIMES IN A ROW AND THE DOOR STILL WOULD NOT LOCK. COLD TEMPERATURES SEEM TO EFFECT THE SENSOR MORE THAN A WARM DAY. FORD DID REPLACE MY SENSOR ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

THE SYNC SYSTEM IS CONSISTENTLY LOCKING UP, THE MUSIC PLAYS WHEN THE DASHBOARD STATES THE AUDIO IS OFF, WHEN THIS HAPPENS NONE OF THE BUTTOMS WORK. I HAVE BEEN PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF, OPEN THE DOOR TO MAKE THE SCREEN CLEAR, THIS DOES NOT WORK. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SYNC SYSTEM WILL RE-BOOT ITSELF AND THEN IT WORKS AGAIN. THE BLUETOOTH SYSTEM IS ALWAYS DISCONNECTING MY PHONE OR I CALL SOMEONE AND I CAN'T HEAR THEM, TO THE POINT I DON'T EVEN USE THE BLUETOOTH ANYMORE. WHEN THE MOTOR IS SHUT OFF AND YOU OPEN THE VEHICLES DOOR THE SCREEN SHOULD COME UP WITH FORD EMBLEM. THE SYNC SYSTEM LOCKING UP INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES AND I'M FIXING TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME ANSWER THERE WAS AN UPDATE THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. IT IS FORDS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE WHEN A VEHICLE IS SOLD NEW FOR $40K, THAT IT WORKS. OF COURSE I STILL HAVE TO MAKE MY MONTHLY PAYMENT TO FORD, IF THIS CONTINUES I'M GOING TO LOOK INTO THE LEMON LAW BECAUSE THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

DRIVING AND TRANSMISSION DROPS HARD. I THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES TYPICALLY WHEN FOOT IT OFF GAS. SAFETY CONCERN AS THE DROP IS SO SEVERE, SOMETIMES IT DOES THIS TWO TO THREE TIMES IN A ROW. VEHICLE TENDS TO BUCK IN EXTREME. DEALER CANT "RECREATE" PROBLEM. DEALER REPLACED THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ON 5/19 STILL HAVE ISSUES. VEHICLE WILL BE IN TO DEALER FOR 4TH TIME IN ONE MONTH.

BEFORE LEAVING MY HOME, I TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO PROGRAM THE BUILT-IN GPS TO GUIDE ME TO MY DESTINATION. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 12 MILES, I STOPPED AT A REST STOP. UPON RESTARTING MY VEHICLE, THE ENTIRE ELECTRONIC DISPLAY INCLUDING RADIO, CLIMATE CONTROL, BACK-UP CAMERA, GPS AND OTHER SAFETY FEATURES FAILED TO WORK WHATSOEVER. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THERE WOULD NOT BE A FOX FOR THIS FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS AND THAT ALL OF HIS OTHER 2011 EDGE CUSTOMERS WERE SUFFERING THE SAME PROBLEM. CALLING FORD CORPORATE, I WAS MET WITH EVEN LESS DETAIL ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY PRETENDED THAT I AM THE ONLY CUSTOMER WITH THIS PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS DRIVABLE, THAT IS ALL IT CAN DO AND FRANKLY, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DON'T WHAT ELSE MAY SIMPLY STOP WORKING. FORD REFUSED MY REQUEST FOR A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED.

MY FORD TOUCH VOICE COMMANDS THAT CONTROL HANDS-FREE PHONE, CLIMATE, NAVIGATION, AND AUDIO DO NOT WORK RELIABLY AND CONSISTENTLY CAUSING INCREASED DRIVER DISTRACTION AND FRUSTRATION EITHER IN PARKED POSITION OR AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ACTUAL VOICE COMMANDS THAT WORK VARY FROM SPECIFIC COMMAND LISTS IN MANUAL (BOTH V1 AND V2) INCLUDING SUPPLEMENT. THE SAME COMMANDS DO NOT WORK TWICE. SD NAVI SYSTEM WITH TRAFFIC ALERTS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD IN URBAN AND HIGHWAY ENVIRONS. THE SYSTEM PRESENTS MYRIAD TRAFFIC ALERTS. NO VOICE COMMAND IS AVAILABLE TO SELECT "AVOID/IGNORE/DETAILS AND SHOULD BE. ONE MUST VISUALLY DISTRACT EYES FROM WINDSHIELD/ROAD TO TOUCH THE CENTER STACK CONSOLE DISPLAY SCREEN TO RETURN TO NAVIGATION MAP. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK AND WILL RESULT IN TRAFFIC CRASH. REPORTED TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY DO NOT SEEM CONCERNED.
