DOOR AJAR SENSOR MALFUNCTION. SENSOR WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE. ALSO CAUSES A STRAIN ON BATTERY WHEN EXITING VEHICLE BECAUSE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A WHILE. THIS IS OCCURRING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR.

MY TRCT CNTRL LIGHT HAD COME ON A FEW MONTHS AGO, I HAD NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED YET AND AS I WAS DRIVING HOME THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND MY CAR STOPPED. I TOOK IT IN, AND AS TOLD IT WAS A BAD FUSE. A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, HIT A SMALL PUDDLE THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND I STALLED IN THE FAST LANE ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I WAS NOT HIT BUT I COULD OF BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS IS BECOMING A HUGE PROBLEM!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
CAR HAS STALLED TWO TIMES, ONE TIME WAS WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR WAS GOING FULL SPEED 55MPH , HAD NO ISSUES LEADING UP TO IT, I SLOWED DOWN TO RUN AND IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN - NO POWER STEERING, NO ACCELERATION IT WAS DEAD, THE ENGINE WAS OFF BUT THE CAR WAS STILL ON. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS A HORRIBLE TIME FOR IT TO DIE. I WAS ABLE TO, BARELY, MAKE THE TURN WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND PULL OVER. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. THE OTHER TIME IT HAPPENED WAS MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAD JUST STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN REVERSE, AGAIN THE CAR ON BUT NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. THE ISSUE I HAVE HERE IS JUDGING BY THE ONLINE POSTS THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF FORD SUV'S BUT BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A RECALL THE SERVICE PEOPLE HAVE TO SEE IT ACTUALLY HAPPENING, SO IT NEVER CAN GET FIXED, BECAUSE IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD AND NOT ISSUING A RECALL, PUTTING LIVES IN DANGER - I WILL BE SELLING ALL OF OUR FORDS ( WE HAVE 3).

THE DASH INDICATION LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AT ALL TIMES EVEN WITH THE DOOR BEING CLOSED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE OTHER DOORS ON THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LOCK WHILE PARKED AND/OR IN MOTION. I HAVE DRIVEN ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY DOORS UNLOCKED AND MY INTERIOR LIGHT ON BECAUSE OF THIS SENSOR. I HOPE THAT THIS CAN BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY.

DOOR MECHANISM ISN'T WORKING CORRECTLY AND 'DOOR AJAR' WILL PRESENT. THIS KEEPS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AND DOESN'T ALLOW AUTO LOCKS TO ENGAGE BECAUSE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN. IT ISN'T.

DOOR AJAR WARNING. THERE'S A COMMON ISSUE WITH MANY FORDS WHERE THERE'S AN ISSUE IN THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY THAT TRIGGERS THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT AND LEAVES THE DOME LIGHTS ON. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF ONE IS TRYING TO RECLOSE THE (ALREADY CLOSED) DOOR WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING AND THE DOME LIGHT REMAINING ON AFFECTS NIGHT VISION. THIS HAPPENS AFTER CAR IS STARTED AND REMAINS ALL THE TIME THE CAR IS TURNS ON - IN MOTION OR NOT

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HAVE A "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT ON 90% OF THE TIME WHEN THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DO NOT GO OFF UNLESS ENGINE IS STARTED. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGE VEHICLES, YET FORD DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO RECALL. WHY? THIS IS NOT A CHEAP OR EASY FIX FOR THE CONSUMER.

2011 FORD EDGE. PASSENGER DOOR STARTED SAYING DOOR AJAR ERROR. HAVE TRIED ALL THE QUICK FIXES NONE OF THEM HAVE WORKED. HAVE SLAMMED AND REOPENED AND RECLOSED. HAVE TRIED PUTTING THE KEY IN AND TURNING IT OFF AND ON. DOESN'T WORK . HAVE TTIED SPRAYING THE LATCH WITH BRAKE CLEANER AND WD40. IT'S MAKING MY INSIDE LIGHT STAY ON. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO IF IT WON'T GO OFF. IT'S GOING TO KILL MY BATTERY. IT'S TO THE POINT WHERE I'M AFRAID TO LET ANYONE IN ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. BC ONCE IT SAYS THAT IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET THE LIGOT TO GO OUT. SUCKS SO BAD. SO AGGRAVATING WHEN I CAN'T GET THE INSIDE LIGHTS TO GO OUT OR THE CAR TO LOCK. THIS SUCKS!!! ALSO MY DIGITAL SCREEN IS CONSTANTLY LOCKING UP GOING BLACK AND WON'T HOLD MY BLUETOOTH CONNECTION. I HATE THIS CAR. . I HAVE BEEN. AT THIS POINT DRIVING OUR 2000 NISSAN FRONTIER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH SENSOR INDICATES DOOR AJAR CONTINUALLY WHEN IT IS NOT AJAR. THIS RESULTS IN INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINING ON FOR A WHILE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNLESS MESSAGE IS ACKNOWLEDGED ON DRIVERS PANEL. DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED. LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHEN EXITING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED UNDER WARRANTY IN 2012 AND DOOR LATCH WAS REPLACED. NOW IT HAS OCCURRED AGAIN AND WILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT NUISANCE AND POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THE NUMBER OF IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS IN THIS DATABASE CLEARLY INDICATES TO ME THAT A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM EXISTS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED CAUSING DOORS TO REMAIN UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY REPLACE BACK IN JULY 2013 AT A COST OF $309. THE SAME ISSUE HAS REOCCURRED NEARLY 3 YRS. LATER. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO STATED SENSOR COULD NEED CLEANING FOR A COST OF $180 OR LATCH REPLACEMENT MIGHT BE REQUIRED AGAIN AT OVER $300. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED WHICH CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND MAKING IT HARD TO SEE TO BACK UP AT NIGHT. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THIS SENSOR STAYS ON WHICH IS ESPECIALLY UNSAFE FOR TRANSPORTING CHILDREN OR SECURING YOURSELF IN YOUR CAR IN LESS THAN FAVORABLE CONDITIONS. BATTERY CAN RUN DOWN WITH LIGHTS STAYING ON LEAVING YOU STRANDED.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR LIGHT COMING ON. WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON IT CAUSES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON, MAKING DRIVING AT NIGHT VERY DIFFICULT. IT ALSO DOESN'T ALLOW THE DOORS TO BE LOCKED WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AS I TRAVEL WITH MY 1 AND 2 YEAR OLD GIRLS OFTEN. WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND I LOCK THE DOOR WITH THE KEY FOB, IF THE SENSOR IS ON THE HORN WILL HONK TWICE. THIS WILL CAUSE NOT ONLY MY INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON BUT ALSO MY EXTERIOR LIGHT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I'VE HAD TO REPLACE A FEW BATTERIES. THE 1ST TIME I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND ONLY HAPPENING OCCASIONALLY, I WAS TOLD TO SPRAY WD-40 ON THE LOCK LATCH AND THAT WOULD HELP. NOW ITS A CONSTANT THING AND OF COURSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. UGH I JUST WANT TO FEEL SAFE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR.
