THERE HAS BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED FOR A 'DOOR AJAR' WARNING WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH. THIS DOES NOT GO OUT WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF. THIS RESULTS IN THE DOME LIGHT STAYING ON AND DRAINING THE BATTERY. NOT REPAIRING COULD RESULT IN THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE VEHICLE ELECTRONICALLY. THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURS AFTER 50K MILES, LEAVING THE OWNER TO PAY FOR A COMMON AND EXPENSIVE PART FAILURE. I

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL STAY ON EVEN WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS CLOSED. IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES OF SHUTTING OR SLAMMING THE DOOR TO TURN OFF. WHEN I DRIVE WITH THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STILL ON, THE DOORS WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK, WHICH IS UNSAFE. ABOUT 10 INSTANCES WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, THE CAR ALARM WENT OFF FOR NO REASON, BOTH DAY AND NIGHT IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. IF THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, IT CAN RUN THE BATTERY DOWN. I GOT A DIAGNOSTICS TEST PERFORMED ON THE CAR FOR $95 AND IT IS A FAULTY LATCH IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE FORD DEALERSHIP ESTIMATED IT WOULD COST $510 + TAX.

AFTER RESEARCHING FORD EDGE RESEARCH THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME THING OCCUR TO THEM. MY CAR WILL START AND BE DRIVING THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LITERALLY LOOSES ALL POWER AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AND IT APPEARS THAT FORD DOESN'T WANT TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE IN DANGER, THERE IS NO WARNING OF WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AND THEN YOU STUCK SITTING ON THE ROAD WHILE IN DRIVE AS YOUR CAR LOST POWER.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS 2012 FORD EDGE. IT WORKED FINE AT THE DEALER. NOW AFTER II GET IT HOME, THE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF AND THE CAR BATTERY DIED. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN OLD BATTERY. BOUGHT A NEW ONE. THEN I NOTICED THE DOOR LIGHT WOULDN'T GO OFF. NOW I HAVE A CAR I PAID 140000 FOR AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT BECAUSE THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR FORDS. I AM AMAZED IT IS NOT. WE NEED SOMETHING DONE TO FIX THIS SO WE CAN DRIVE THE CAR. I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA 650.00 TO FIX IT TEMPORARILY.

SERVICE BRAKES
COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. SOFT PEDAL. THANK GOODNESS I ALWAYS LEAVE LOTS OF ROOM WHEN IN TRAFFIC. PRESSED ON BRAKES. NOTHING. QUICKLY PRESSED AGAIN. NOTHING. QUICKLY PRESSED AGAIN. STOOD ON BRAKES. :FINALLY STOPPED. SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME. WAS SOLE PASSENGER, THANK GOODNESS, AS USUALLY HAVE PASSENGERS WITH ME. HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES THIS WEEK AND A FEW OTHER TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH. THOUGHT I JUST NEEDED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY MECHANIC TO BLEED THE BRAKES OR CHECK THE MASTER CYLINDER. STARTED AT AROUND 70,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. AM TAKING CAR TO MY MECHANIC BUT AM READING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2012 FORD EDGES. WHY ISN'T THERE AR ECAL WHEN THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE! IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF, BUT WHEN, THIS WILL BE A SERIOUS MULTI-CASUALTY ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. DO PEOPLE NEED TO DIE/BECOME VEGETABLES BEFORE ANYTHING WILL BE DONE SO THAT FORD TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR MECHANICAL/DESIGN FLAWS THAT CAN DESTROY LIVES AND PROPERTY???????

DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY, ALTHOUGH DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT, DOOR AJAR ALERT STAYS ON, WHICH CAUSES ALL THE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON AND IT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO LOCK YOUR DOORS, WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN WHO COULD POTENTIALLY OPEN THE DOOR WHILE IN MOTION. SOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AFTER DOOR IS CLOSED WHICH CAN DRAIN BATTERY. ISSUE OCCURS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION

DOOR LATCH FAILURE. INITIALLY THE DOOR WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT CLOSE WHILE PARKED (WOULD REBOUND OPEN WHEN PUSHED SHUT). NOW WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR WILL UNLATCH AND FULLY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. FIRST IT HAPPENED WHEN TURNING A CORNER FROM A STOPPED POSITION. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET AT APPROX 30 MPH.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I STARTED MY 2012 EDGE AND HEARD THE STARTER TAKE LONGER TO TURN OVER AND START THE CAR. WITHIN MOMENTS THE CHECK ENGINE ICON APPEARED. I TOOK MY EDGE IN TO AUTO HOBBY SHOP LOCATED ON A MILITARY INSTALLATION. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE USED HIS CODE READER MACHINE TO VIEW CODE P0456. WHICH HE SAID IT INDICATED A MINOR FUEL LEAK. HE PERFORMED A SMOKE CHECK SAID HE NOTICED SMOKE LEAKING. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IF THERE WERE ANY FUEL SYSTEM RECALLS. THEY SAID THERE WAS, BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. OF THE 3 RECALLS OUT FOR A 20012 EDGE, I ONLY RECIEVED ONE. ARE RECALLS ONLY FOR SPECIFIC YEARS/MODELS/VIN'S? HOW CAN I GET MY ISSUE REPAIRED? COULD MY VIN BE ADDED TO THE RECALL IF I HAD A RELATING ISSUE?

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
AFTER PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC ON 1/15/18, GOING ABOUT 50 MPH, MY 2012 FORD EDGE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTART IT SEVERAL TIMES TO SLOWLY GET IT OUT OF TRAFFIC - EACH TIME THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. FINALLY, AFTER GETTING OUT OF TRAFFIC I SHUT IT DOWN AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED IT AND THIS TIME THE AWD WARNING LIGHT APPEARED BUT MY CAR IS NOT AN AWD VEHICLE. THEN THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED AGAIN. HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY COMPUTER MEMORY RECORD OF WHAT HAPPENED AND HAD THEIR TECHNICIAN DRIVE IT HOME TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM DUPLICATED ITSELF. IT DID NOT. AFTER 3 DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND I PICKED IT UP AND DROVE IT HOME. I SHOULD ADD THAT MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 26,000 MILES ON IT. IN READING THESE COMPLAINTS MINE IS NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND FORD NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT AND REPAIR THOSE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!
