2013 Ford Edge Electrical System

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED TIGHT.(DRIVERS DOOR) THIS CAUSES WARNING LIGHTS AND SOUNDS FROM DASH DISPLAY. THE DOOR OVERHEAD LIGHTS ALSO COME ON. WHEN STOPPING THE WARNING SYSTEM STATES "SHIFT TO PARK". CONSTANT RINGING AND DISPLAY OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THE DOOR IS NOT AJAR. RESEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET SHOWS A OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THESE DOOR SENSORS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE FORCE RECALL!

DRIVER SIDE "DOOR AJAR" ALERT REMAINS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINS ON, DRAINING BATTERY. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING. IF DOORS ARE LOCKED MANUALLY, AUTOMATIC UNLOCK OCCURS IMMEDIATELY.

LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE FROM A FORD DEALER, DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR WARNING APPEARS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS FIRMLY LATCHED. ALL DOORS INSTANTLY AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING. DOORS CANNOT BE RE-LOCKED BECAUSE THEY IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK AGAIN. THIS REPRESENTS AN ACCIDENT HAZARD BECAUSE IT ALLOWS OCCUPANTS TO POTENTIALLY BE THROWN FROM THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. THIS CONDITION IS APPARENTLY DUE TO A FAULTY DOOR LATCH SWITCH AND IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET.

DOOR AJAR WARNING ON DASH- INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON-DOORS WON'T LOCK

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY FORD THEY EVEN HAVE A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE. MANY DISCUSSION ON LINE EXIST ABOUT THE SAME CONDITION. THESE ARE NOT OLD VEHICLES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. 1. INTERIOR LIGHTS CAN COME ON DUE TO THIS ISSUE AT ANY TIME CAUSING A BLINDING ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. 2. UNABLE TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN VEHICLE. 3. UNABLE TO KNOW IF THE DOOR IS REALLY CLOSED PROPERLY. 4. THREE WARNINGS CONTINUE TO POP UP CONTINUALLY WHILE DRIVING THAT ENGINE IS ON, SHIFT TO PARK AND DOOR AJAR. PLEASE REQUEST THAT FORD DOES THE RIGHT THING FOR SAFETY AND RECALLS THIS DEFECTIVE PART.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, I COMPLETELY LOST POWER. MY CAR WAS DRIVING ON ITS OWN, ABOUT 2MPH ON THE ROAD, WHILE EVERYONE ELSE WAS DRIVING 45MPH. THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY, AND MY CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP WHEN I WAS AT A RED LIGHT. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY SITUATION BECAUSE WHILE I WAS DRIVING, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. THE CARS AROUND ME COULD HAVE EASILY COLLIDED WITH MINE, ESPECIALLY WHEN MY CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND PUT IT IN PARK. WHILE MY CAR WAS IN PARK, IT WAS SHAKING. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT I HAVE A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. THIS IS SOMETHING I NEVER HEARD OF. BUT TO KNOW THAT AT ANY TIME, MY CAR CAN RANDOMLY STOP ON ITS OWN IS SCARY. I WAS TOLD THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. FORD HAS A DUTY TO MAKE SURE THAT ITS PRODUCT IS SAFE FOR THE ORDINARY CONSUMER. A BREACH OF THAT DUTY IS PUTTING AN UNSAFE PRODUCT OUT THERE, AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND NOT TAKING REMEDIAL MEASURES. SOMEONE CAN LOSE THEIR LIFE BY A CAR COMPLETELY LOSING POWER ON THE ROAD, AND THAT LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN MINE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT FORD IS CLEARLY AWARE OF.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR SWITCH GOES BAD. WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY FORD WANTS $450.00 TO REPAIR. THE PART IS $38.00 ON LINE. THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE.

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS MY CAR IS INDICATING THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS CLOSED. IT NOTIFIES ME CONSTANTLY USING LIGHTS AND DINGING WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. EVERY TIME YOU TURN ON THE CAR OR STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR FROM A STOP OR SLOW SPEED IT STARTS DINGING. WHEN BACKING UP IT IS DINGING MAKING IT HARD TO DISTINGUISH WHETHER THERE IS AN OBJECT IN THE PATH. IT ALSO KEEPS THE DOME LIGHT FROM GOING OFF WHICH CAUSED THE BATTERY TO FAIL WHICH COST $162 TO REPLACE. ADDITIONALLY, THE FIRST TIME I PAID $120 TO HAVE IT FIXED AT THE DEALER. 'WHEN THE PROBLEM RECURRED I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD BE RECALLED BY FORD. A SMALL INEXPENSIVE PLASTIC PIECE WHICH AN EXPERIENCED MECHANIC SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPLACE IN 15 MINUTES. "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" AND "HOW FAST WERE YOU GOING" DOES NOT FIT INTO A SINGLE DATE OR SPEED; THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND SENSOR STAY ON INTERMITTENTLY, AS DOES INTERIOR LIGHT. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING.

DOOR AJAR SIGNAL STAYS ON AFTER DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON AND CANT LOCK DOORS WHILE IN VEHICLE . WHEN DRIVING, DASH INDICATOR GIVES AN EMERGENCY WARNING TO STOP AND PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK. LATCH IS FAULTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD EDGE. EVERY TIME THE KEY WAS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION, THE DOOR AJAR AND SHIFT TO PARK WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE DOOR WAS SLAMMED SHUT. THE DOOR CHIME SOUNDED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

DRIVER DOOR SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER THAT DOOR IS CLOSED (SAYS DOOR IS AJAR) AND AUTOMATIC LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK AS A RESULT. TOUCH LOCK AND UNLOCK WILL NOT RESPOND UNLESS SENSOR REGISTERS THAT DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. DOME LIGHTS REMAIN LIT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. ONGOING ISSUE SINCE FEBRUARY 2016.
