ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PASSENGER DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. SYSTEM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE HAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND WILL NOT ALLOW DOORS TO LOCK POSING SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO THE DOME LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF DUE TO THE SENSOR NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. EVEN AFTER REPEATEDLY SHUTTING DOOR (OVER 10 TIMES) THE SENSOR WILL POP ON DURING DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE. DONE LIGHTS REMAIN ON AFTER CAR IS TURNED OFF WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY.

THE DOOR AJAR COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT. THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN ARE A CONCERN BECAUSE THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK AND YOU CAN'T MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS. YOU CAN SLAM YOUR DOOR 100 TIMES BUT IT STILL STAYS ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN MY VEHICLE IS PARKED AND IN MOTION.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE IS A 2012 FORD EDGE AND HAS APPROX 43,000 MILES ON IT . THE DOOR AJAR WARNING ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH EVEN THOUGH I HAVE CLEARLY SLAMMED THE DOOR SHUT. IT LEAVES THE DOME LIGHTS ON THE CAR WHICH IS DANGEROUS AT NIGHT WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AS IT OBSCURES YOU VISION, AND WHILE DRIVING IT ILLUMINATES A YELLOW WARNING TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK AND HAS A CONSISTENT ''DINGING'' NOISE THAT IS VERY DISTRACTING IF YOU ARE DRIVING LESS THAN 30MPH. THESE WARNINGS HAPPEN BOTH WHILE IN PARK AND WHEN IN MOTION DRIVING LESS THAN 30 MPH.

THE DOOR SENSOR SAYS THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT AND STAYS ON. THIS DOES NOT ALLOW THE DOOR LOCKS TO CLOSE AND IS UNSAFE. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO GO ON AND STAY ON FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.

STRUCTURE:BODY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR IS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE'S INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL INDICATE THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS FIRMLY CLOSED. THIS ALERT OFTEN APPEARS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN I EXIT THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM OCCURS, THIS WILL PREVENT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FROM GOING OUT AND IT WILL PREVENT THE SECURITY SYSTEM FROM ARMING. THIS PROBLEM IS DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE ALERTS AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTING, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THE ISSUE HAS ALSO RESULTED IN THEFT FROM MY VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF, THE DOME LIGHTS DO NOT GO OFF AS THE SENSOR INDICATES THE DOOR IS OPEN. WHILE PARKED OUTSIDE MY HOUSE, MY VEHICLE WAS BROKEN INTO WITHOUT THE ALARM SOUNDING, RESULTING IN THEFT OF PERSONAL ITEMS INCLUDING CHECKS, CASH, AND ELECTRONICS. THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY HAS ALSO DRAINED OVERNIGHT TO THE POINT OF NEEDING A JUMP START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STOPPED PULLING. THE MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING AND STARTED VIBRATING. TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN RESTARTED IT. IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE SEEN THE RECALL ON THE HALFSHAFT DISENGAGEMENT AND AM NOT SURE IF MY CAR HAS HAD THIS RECALL FIXED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST 10 DAYS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN STARTING AND SHUTTING OFF THE CAR, THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING COMES ON AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF. YOU HAVE TO CONTINUALLY SLAM THE DOOR TO GET BOTH TO GO OUT. SOMETIMES THE WARNING LIGHT AND INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN IT'S DARK OUTSIDE. I ALMOST WENT INTO A DITCH LAST WEEK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I STARTED COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE FORD DEALER DID NOT FIX IT. NOW THEY WANT $500 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE - NOT THE CONSUMER.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES FUNCTIONED PERFECTLY PRIOR TO DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL IN TRAFFIC (ON A MAJOR CITY STREET WITH THE VEHICLE MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH) AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. THE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS, BUT WITH EXTREME PRESSURE, COULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN A WHISTLE OR BEEP SOUND. THE VEHICLE BECAME (AND REMAINS ALMOST 24 HOURS LATER) UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE STOPPED WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THIS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2012 FORD EDGE BRAKE SYSTEM, AND REFERENCES PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE BOOSTER. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY-RELATED RECALL MANDATED FOR THIS VEHICLE, GIVEN THE PROPENSITY FOR SUDDENLY FAILED BRAKES TO CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES.

THE DOOR IS CLEARLY SHUT (AT LEAST I THINK IT IS). OTHER ISSUE IS IF THE DOOR SENSOR IS SAYING DOOR IS OPEN, THE AUTO DOOR LOCKS WHEN YOU GO OVER 10 MPH DOES NOT WORK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT ALERTS YOU THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS CLEARLY SHUT AND SHUT WELL. I BELIEVE IT IS THE SENSOR. THE SENSOR IS IN THE DOOR PANEL AND NOT EASILY REPLACED. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO NOT GO OFF AND DOOR ALERT TO STAY ON, IN EFFECT DISTRACTING THE DRIVER AND MISINFORMING THEM OF A PROBLEM. THIS MAY AFFECT THE CAR DOING OTHER THINGS IF IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND CONTINUES WHILE MOVING. IT IS NOT AN ADJUSTMENT PROBLEM WITH THE LATCH.
