ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

DRIVERS DOOR SAYING DOOR AJAR AND NOT CLOSING. LIGHTS IN CAR AND SIGNAL FOR DOOR AJAR NOT GOING OFF WHEN CLOSED. PROBLEM WITH DOOR LATCH. HAD TO HAVE FORD DEALER FIX LATCH. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY FORD VECHILE HAS BEEN RECALLED EXPECT THE 2012 FORD EDGE. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE ALL THE DOORS ARE NOT COMPLETELY CLOSED AS THE DOOR LOCKS ARE NOT GOING COMPLETELY DOWN AND APPEAR LIKE THEY CAN OPEN AT ANY TIME.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON MOST OF THE TIME. IT MAKES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON UNLESS TURNED OFF MANUALLY AND CAN DRAIN THE CARS BATTERY AND MAKES IT HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE NOTIFICATION LIGHT COMES ON FROM WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND WHEN THE CAR IS SHIFTED INTO GEAR OR ROLLING THE NOTIFICATION SOUND COMES ON. THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND THE NOTIFICATION SOUND BEEPS FOR SEVERAL MINS AFTER THE CAR IS IS IN DRIVE.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER THE DOOR AS CLOSED WHEN IT IS. THE DASH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT SHUT OFF. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS TO BE CLOSED UP TO 30 TIMES BEFORE THE SENSOR REGISTERS THE DOOR AS CLOSED. THE DASH WARNING REMAINS LIT AND "SHIFT TO PARK" COMES ON WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
DOOR SENSOR ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN CONTINUING SINCE EARLY 2015, NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. CURRENTLY MY "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR APPEARS EVEN THOUGH MY DOOR IS CLOSED, EVEN AFTER BEING SLAMMED SHUT. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR ALONG WITH PASSENGER SIDE DOOR CONTINUE TO SAY OPEN AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN CLOSED AND I AM DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING I CANNOT MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR, THEY JUST AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK ON ITS OWN. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE, ESPECIALLY DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN. HIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO REPLACE MY BATTERY SOONER THAN NEEDED BECAUSE THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A LONG TIME, ALSO RANDOMLY TURN ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I ALSO CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS BECAUSE THAN THE ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY THINKING THE DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED. SO WETHER DRIVING OR PARKED, THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM.

DRIVER-SIDE DOOR AJAR SWITCH FAILURE LEAVES DOORS UNLOCKED DURING TRAVEL. WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR-AJAR SENSOR IN A FAILED STATE, THE VEHICLE'S PROGRAMMING IS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKING ALL DOORS CAUSING A PASSENGER SAFETY RISK. LOCKING VIA INTERIOR BUTTON IS OVERRIDDEN AND THE DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT NIGHT, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT APPEARED, INDICATING I SHOULD SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND AN ALARM STARTED CHIMING. MY VISION WAS IMPAIRED BY THE BRIGHT INTERIOR LIGHTS. AFTER NAVIGATING THROUGH TRAFFIC I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY, SHIFTED THE CAR TO PARK , GOT OUT AND CHECKED DOORS AND TAILGATE BUT ALL WERE SECURE. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY. I LODGED MY COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE FIXED. THE CONDITION APPEARED TO BE CORRECTED UNTIL THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM , MUCH TO MY DISMAY I FOUND OUT THAT ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX HAD BEEN APPLIED, THE DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED, AND NOW TO FIX THE DOOR LATCH SWITCH WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. DISCONTENT, I RETURNED HOME AND RESEARCHED AND FOUND MY PROBLEM A POPULAR TOPIC. I STARTED A COMPLAINT WITH FORDS REGIONAL OFFICE AND WITH NHTSA BUT DIDN'T MAIL IT IN. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MORE PERSISTENT AND I WON'T PUT FAMILY IN THE CAR. IT HAS ALSO LEFT ME STRANDED WITH A DEAD BATTERY A NUMBER OF TIMES AS THIS SWITCH APPARENTLY CONTROLS TIME DELAYED COURTESY LIGHTS TO LET YOU EXIT THE CAR SAFELY AT NIGHT. THE PROBLEM HERE IS THEY DON'T SHUT OFF, DRAINING THE BATTERY. WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LODGED REGARDING THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION, AND QUICK FIX ALBEIT EXPENSIVE PART, I FIGURED THIS TO BE A PRIORITY RECALL. THIS ISSUE OCCURS AT ANY GIVEN TIME, STATIONARY, CITY STREETS, AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR GETS STUCK AND INDICATES AN OPEN DOOR, EVEN THOUGH IT IS PROPERLY CLOSED AND LATCHED. THIS LEADS TO BEING UNABLE TO GET THE DOME LIGHT TO COME OFF AND DRAINS BATTERIES. VARYING NUMBERS OF DOOR CLOSURES ARE REQUIRED TO GET THE SENSOR TO RESET. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF DOOR IS SLAMMED OR SHUT GENTLY.
