2012 Ford Edge Electrical System

LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR. DRIVERS DOOR IS AJAR. LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF BECAUSE THE SENSORS SAY THE DOORS ARE OPEN. I BELIEVE THEY ARE SHUT. THIS HAS KILLED MY BATTERY. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY CAUSING STRESS NOT KNOWING IF MY CAR IS GOING TO START IN THE MORNING

DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, RUNNING, AND WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THE LIGHTING TO REMAIN ON THUS DRAINING THE BATTERY.

MALFUNCTIONING DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS REMAINS WHEN DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED. CAN DRAIN THE BATTERY. HAD THE SENSOR IN DRIVER'S DOOR REPLACE WHILE UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. THE REPLACEMENT SENSOR IS NOW MALFUNCTIONING AND THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

THE DOOR SENSOR WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT. I HAVE A 2012 FORD EDGE. KEEPS SAYING DOOR AJAR WHEN IT IS CLOSED.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THEIR DOORS ARE CERTAINLY CLOSED.

DOOR LATCH SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING. THE DOOR WILL NOT SHUT OFF THE DOOR AJAR WARNING WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. TWO DOORS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED THROUGH OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOORS, AND NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS BEGINNING TO DO THE SAME THING.

THE VEHICLE REPORTS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS SECURELY CLOSED. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. IT ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT YET STARTED. THIS RESULTS IN AUDIO AND VISUAL ALARMS WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING, AND INTERIOR LIGHTING WHICH REMAINS ON FOR LONG PERIODS WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.

FILED DOOR AJAR COMPLAINT WITH NHTS SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 #10638797. HAD PROBLEM REPAIRED MARCH 15, 2015. COST $245.93. SAME ISSUE OCCURING AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DOOR AJAR WARNING WILL NOT GO OFF UNLESS THE CAR IS IN GEAR AND WE OPEN THE DOOR AND CLOSE IT. NOT SAFE TO BE TRAVELING AND OPENING AND CLOSING A DOOR TO GET DOOR AJAR WARNING TO TURN OFF.

DISPLAY PANEL: DOOR AJAR INDICATOR. OPEN AND CLOSE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR ON SEVERAL ACCOUNTS AND INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OUT ON THE DISPLAY PANEL. THIS INDICATOR REMAINS WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

INTERIOR LIGHTING AND REVIEW MIRRORS LIGHTING. THIS VEHICLE LIGHTING STAYS ON FOR AND EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED AND REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE LNTERIOR LIGHTS WILL BE ON WHEN PARKED OR IN A STATIONARY POSITION.

THE WARNING 'DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR' IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE WARNING IS DISPLAYED ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED AND WILL REMAIN ON WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS STARTED, THE WARNING MAY OR MAY NOT DISPLAY BUT IT DOES NOT CHANGE WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT THE WARNING IS DISPLAYED ABOUT 1/2 OF THE TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. IF THE WARNING IS DISPLAYED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME AND THE DOORS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, THE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED BY PRESSING THE RIGHT MOST TWO BUTTONS OF THE DOOR COMBINATION LOCK PANEL AND THE LIGHTS UNDER THE MIRRORS REMAIN LIT FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE IMPACTED BY TEMPERATURE.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THE ISSUE IS CAUSING LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND DRAINING BATTERY. ALARM SYSTEM CANNOT BE ACTIVATED BECAUSE IT WILL GO OFF UNEXPECTEDLY IF IT SENSES THAT THE DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED.

VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. DASH WARNING "DRIVER'S DOOR IS AJAR". DOOR IS CLOSED, BUT COMPUTER INDICATES THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED. WHEN THIS OCCURS, A WARNING LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH INDICATING "DOOR IS AJAR". IF I DRIVE WITH THAT LIGHT ON, ANOTHER WARNING IS DISPLAYED TO "SHIFT TO PARK". WHEN WARNING IS ON, THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON. IF I ATTEMPT TO LOCK THE CAR WITH THE REMOTE, THE HORN BEEPS TWICE (AS OPPOSED TO ONCE), INDICATING THE DOORS ARE NOT LOCKED.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING, DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. HAS ALREADY RAN BATTERY DOWN AND ALMOST STRANDED. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND NEVER BEEN MISTREATED AND GARAGE KEPT.

DOOR AJAR ON MY DRIVER DOOR HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY ON EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS OCCURS IN ALL SITUATIONS (DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND STREETS, TURNING, AND STATIONARY). THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE MAY 22. THE DOOR AJAR SOUND CONTINUOUSLY GOING OFF HAS CAUSED ISSUES WHEN I TURN MY SIGNAL LIGHT ON AT A STOP SIGN. THE DOOR AJAR ALARM OVERRIDES THE SOUND OF THE TURN BLINKER. THIS HAS CAUSED ME AT TIMES TO LOOK AT MY DASHBOARD TO VERIFY THAT MY TURN SIGNAL IS ACTUALLY ON. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS DEFECT ONLY LEAVES ME TWO DANGEROUS OPTIONS. 1. I CAN CHECK MY BLINKERS EVERY TIME THAT MY DOOR AJAR SOUND OVERRIDES THE BLINKER SOUND BUT THIS DISTRACTS ME FROM THE ROAD. 2. I ASSUME THAT MY BLINKER IS ALWAYS ON BUT THIS MIGHT RESULT IN A SITUATION WHERE THE BLINKER IS IN FACT NOT ON. THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OTHER DRIVERS MIGHT NOT KNOW THAT I AM TURNING.

09/15/2017 DRIVER DOOR AJAR CAME ON SHOWING DOOR WAS OPEN. CLOSED DOOR SEVERAL TIMES AND IT WOULD GO OFF. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL 10/10/2017. NOW IT WON'T GO OFF AND MY DOORS WOULDN'T AUTO LOCK WHEN IN MOTION AND WOULDN'T STAY LOCKED MANUALLY EITHER. MY DOME LIGH WOULD STAY ON ALSO. 10/16/2017 CAR WOULD NOT START, BATTERY WAS DRAINED AND NO LIGHTS WERE LEFT ON. CALLED GARAGE AND JUMP STARTED VEHICLE AND TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS. JUST GOT CALL THAT THE BATTERY AND DOOR AJAR SENSOR WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. IT WILL COST ALMOST $800.00 TO FIX. THE WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED ON VEHICLE AND THAT LEAVES ME WITH THE BILL. I READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME VEHICLE AND SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. IT IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN AND THE DOORS WON'T STAY LOCKED.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON WHEN STARTING OR DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

THE DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED

WHEN YOU CLOSE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON. ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STILL LIT. THEY EVENTUALLY GO OFF ONCE YOU START DRIVING BUT WHEN YOU STOP IT DINGS, TELLING YOU TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK DUE TO THE DOOR BEING AJAR. YOU CAN NOT LOCK ANY OF THE DOORS AT ALL, WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. DUE TO THIS ISSUE IT CAN DRAIN YOUR BATTERY IF YOU DON'T SHUT THE DOOR OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL IT REGISTERS THE DOOR IS CLOSED.

DOOR JAR LIGHT REMAINS ON (DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR). DRAINS BATTERY, CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHT TO TURN ON WHILE DRIVING. IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SWITCHES IN THE 2011-13 FORD EDGE AND FORD IS DOING NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON, EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON, AND PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM BEING LOCKED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE DRIVER CAN'T SEE OUT THE WINDOWS AT NIGHT. IT STARTED INTERMITTENTLY, AND AT FIRST SEEMED TO RANDOMLY APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR. AFTER ABOUT ONE MONTH, IT NOW STAYS ON ALL THE TIME.

DRIVE DOOR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONED. WILL SAY "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" EVEN WHEN SHUT. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN I GET IN MY CAR AT THE END OF THE DAY TO DRIVE HOME, IN THE MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK, OR EVEN WHILE I'M DRIVING! THEN IT WILL CONSTANTLY BEEP AND SAY "SHIFT TO PARK" IF I'M COMING TO A STOP. THE DOOR IS CLEARLY SHUT, AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I OPEN AND RE-SHUT THE DOOR THE SENSOR WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT. BECAUSE OF THIS, I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK MY CAR, OR THE ALARM WILL GO OFF AT SOME POINT BECAUSE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPENING. SOMETIMES I'M NOT EVEN ABLE TO LOCK TO DOORS EVEN IF I WANTED TO, WHICH IS NOT AT ALL SAFE!

THE DOOR AJAR IS ON PERMANENTLY WHEN THE DOOR ISN'T AJAR. LIGHTS ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM VIA OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS MODEL

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR INDICATES OPEN/AJAR WHEN CLOSED. THIS LEADS TO MULTIPLE PROBLEMS -- DOORS WON'T LOCK, INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON, ETC.

DOOR LATCH SWITCH MALFUNCTION CAUSING DOOR AJAR WARNING WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED AND VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK AND CHILD SAFETY REAR LOCKS DO NOT ENGAGE (CHILD CAN OPEN DOOR WHEN IN MOTION). CHILD HAS NOT FALLEN OUT THE DOOR YET. AM GETTING IT REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
