FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL NOZZLE INLET SET A MIL LIGHT CODE FOR FUEL VAPOR SEEPAGE. THIS IS THE CAPLESS FUEL SYSTEM. THIS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. ANY TYPE OF IGNITION SOURCE GOES NEAR THE FUEL DOOR WILL IGNITE THE VEHICLE INTO FLAMES. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY MAKING THE VEHICLE REACT AS THOUGH THE DOOR IS OPEN EVEN THOUGH IT IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING AND PREVENTS THE DOME LIGHT FROM TURNING OFF. THE DOOR AJAR ALARM AND LIGHT WILL NOT STOP ALERTING THE DRIVER TO THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, THERE IS A DANGER TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS WHILE MOVING. WHEN DOME LIGHT FAILS TO TURN OFF, THE CAR BATTERY CAN RUN DOWN PREVENTING THE CAR FROM STARTING. *TR

WITH THE DRIVER DOOR CLOSED, DISPLAY SHOWS DOOR AJAR AND THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ON. THE CAR DOESN'T LOCK THE DOORS TOO. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THE LIGHTS ON STRAIGHT IN YOUR FACE! THIS A SECURITY FAILURE AND SEEMS TO BE EPIDEMIC ON FORD CARS. DEALERS ARE CHARGING $400 TO $500 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY SWITCH INSIDE THE DOOR LATCH. FORD SHOULD RECALL AS A SAFETY MATTER AND DO THE REPAIR FOR FREE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY SENSOR INDICTED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS AJAR. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SLAMMED THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES. THE SENSOR STILL TOLD ME THE DOOR WAS AJAR. THIS WILL NOT GO OFF. IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS NOW. THE DOME LIGHT WILL ALSO STAY ON DRAINING MY BATTERY. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THE SENSORS. WHEN I LOOK ON LINE THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE CHIME WARNING IS CONSTANT. PLEASE RECALL THESE SO I CAN FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME -- AT ALL SPEEDS OF 0-75 -- THE WARNING LIGHT SHOWS THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR, WHICH CAUSES THE DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON, AND THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING IN THE CITY AND STOP AT A RED LIGHT -- ANYONE COULD OPEN THE DOOR AND GET INSIDE. WHEN THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ON, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY WHEN BACKING THE CAR. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DRIVER DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY FAILURE RESULTS IN A DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING. DOOR IS LATCHED AT LEAST ENOUGH TO STAY SHUT, HOWEVER, THE WARNING STAYS ON. AS A RESULT, THE AUTO DOOR LOCK AT 10MPH DOES NOT HAPPEN. IF YOU USE THE DOOR LOCK PUSH BUTTON, THE DOORS LOCK AND THEN IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK THEM IS TO PUSH DOWN EACH ON THE DOOR BUTTONS. SMALL CHILDREN OR BABIES IN THE BACK SEAT CAN'T AND THE DRIVER CAN'T REACH ALL THE DOORS. NOT A GOOD SITUATION. ALSO, EVERY TIME YOU STOP, FOR INSTANCE AT A LIGHT, ANOTHER WARNING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK OCCURS WHEN YOU RELEASE THE BRAKES. ANOTHER DISTRACTION. DEALER SAYS PART IS ON BACKORDER. THIS, ALONG WITH ALL THE WEB INSTANCES, INDICATES A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY ON EDGE AND LINCOLN. A RECALL SEEMS TO BE IN ORDER AS THE DESIGN IS FAULTY IN TODAY'S WORLD! CARB CLEANER AND WD 40 WORKED FOR A FEW TIMES FOR A FEW DAYS BUT NOW PROBLEM IS SOLID. THE LATCH SPRING APPEARS TO BE BROKEN AND/OR A FAULTY SENSOR - ALL PART OF THE SAME ASSEMBLY. *TR

HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE, OPEN AND CLOSE, OPEN AND CLOSE UNTIL IT TURNS OFF. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS IS NOT JUST AN ANNOYANCE ISSUE. *TR

MY DRIVERS DOOR APPEARS TO NOT BE CLOSING BUT I KNOW IT IS SHUT. THE DOORS SENSOR SHOWS ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN. I HAVE TO SLAM THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO SHUT. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK IF I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE I HAVE DONE NOTHING AND I WAS TOLD BY MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY $370.00 TO GET IT FIXED AND I JUST DON'T SEE THAT AS FAIR AND REASONABLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL CONSTANTLY STAYS ON AFTER I'VE ALREADY MADE SURE THE DOOR WAS SHUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. MY INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL I'VE SLAMMED THE DOOR ABOUT 5-6 TIMES. IT'S REALLY HARD TO TELL IF THEY'VE SHUT OFF IN THE DAYTIME AND SO I'M FEARFUL I MAY COME OUT TO MY BATTERY BEING DEAD. IT ALSO SCARES ME TO SEE IT COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER AS I'M UNSURE WHETHER THE DOOR IS PROPERLY LATCHED. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL SO THAT ALL DRIVERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE CAN GET THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WENT TO STOP BEHIND A TRUCK AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PETAL IT FELT SPONGY AND MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I PUSHED EXTREMELY HARD. THEN MY PETAL KEPT GOING DOWN FURTHER TO THE FLOOR. I PLACE MY CAR IN PARK GEAR AND CONTINUED TO HOLD THE BRAKE PETAL DOWN. MY CAR BEGAN MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE WHICH STOPPED WHEN I LET THE BRAKE PETAL UP. I PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND DROVE A COUPLE MORE BLOCKS WITH BRAKES STILL SPONGY AND NOT VERY RESPONSIVE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR NOW AND WILL HAVE IT TOWED IN. I WAS SUPPOSE TO DRIVE TO MY CABIN YESTERDAY WHICH HAS A 35 MIN DRIVE THROUGH A CANYON WITH A 500 FOOT CLIFF ON ONE SIDE. THANKFULLY I DID NOT GO! *TR

A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE "LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE" WARNING WAS DISPLAYED. LOSS OF POWER STEERING/BRAKES. VEHICLE WAS CAREFULLY MANEUVERED OFF THE HIGHWAY. ATTEMPTED TO RESTART REPEATEDLY.
