ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TSB-14-0083 AND 0011. DOOR AJAR WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE ISSUE IS WITH THE DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS AFFECTING ALL 2011 AND NEWER FORD CARS WITH THIS LATCH SYSTEM AS DOCUMENTED HERE ON MULTIPLE TREADS ON FORDEDGEFORUM.COM. EXAMPLE THREAD HTTP://WWW.FORDEDGEFORUM.COM/TOPIC/10869-DOOR-AJAR-WARNING-ON-AT-ALL-TIMES/PAGE-4. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING 25-40 MPH, THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE, NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. "YELLOW WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION, MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND I COULD NOT MOVE THE CAR. THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF OR STALL. I JUST HAD NO POWER OR ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO ROLL INTO A SAFE SPOT, OUT OF TRAFFIC AND HARMS WAY. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR RAN FINE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE, TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AND WANTED ME TO JUST TAKE IT AS IS. I MENTIONED THAT I HAD READ ABOUT ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, AND THEY SAID IT SEEMED FINE. HOW CAN THEY ALLOW ME TO TAKE A CAR THAT IS SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE? I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT, AND THE PERSON THAT HIT ME COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS, REGARDING AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY WERE REQUIRED TO DO A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM;. BUT MY VIN DID NOT FALL INTO THIS PROGRAM. I PAID TO HAVE THE ETB REPLACED, OUT OF POCKET, AND AM HOPING THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM. VERY UNSAFE SITUATION TO BE PUT IN BY FORD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FOR THE THIRD TIME THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED WHILE THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND PRESUMED LOCKED. THE DEALER MADE REPAIRS THE FIRST TWO TIMES AND NOW IS CHARGING ME AGAIN FOR THIS THIRD OCCURRENCE OF THE SAME ISSUE STATING THEY PREVIOUSLY ONLY CLEANED THE PART WHICH IS NOW DETERMINED TO NEED REPLACEMENT. MY TEENAGER OFTEN DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND WE DO NOT KNOW IF THE DRIVER DOOR IS CLOSED OR LOCKED BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT IN THE WARNING SYSTEM. IT IS ABSURD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AS THE SALESMAN TOLD ME IT WAS AT TIME OF PURCHASE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE UP, WAS HEADING HOME FOR THE EVENING AND TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN, WENT TO GO AND THE CARS BEHIND ME BECAME INPATIENT. THE FORD EDGE WAS ROLLING THROUGH THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT LESS THAN @ 5 MPH. AFTER CLEARING THE TRAFFIC LIGHT INTERSECTION I WAS ABLE TO GET THE 2011 FORD EDGE INTO A THE NEAREST NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS WAS AT NIGHT TIME WITH MY THREE(3) YEAR OLD GRANDSON WITH ME. TOW TRUCK WAS DISPATCHED AND TAKEN TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHICH HAPPEN TO BE THE ONE THE FORD EDGE WAS PURCHASED FROM ON AUGUST 8, 2015. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR MY DAUGHTER SO THAT SHE COULD HAVE A RELIABLE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR HER AND MY GRANDSON.WORK ORDER # 98983 FROM "DICK SMITH FORD" DATED JANUARY 5, 2015 AT A COST OF $95.00, AND THIS IS WITH ME HAVING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I NOTIFIED FORD MOTOR CORPORATION AS TO THE "THROTTLE BODY" BEING DEFECTIVE. I WAS INFORMED VIA E-MAIL THAT (NO RECALLS) HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE 2011 FORD EDGE. ON JANUARY 6, 2015 WHEN MY DAUGHTER WAS ON HER WAY TO WORK AT FORT JACKSON DURING THE 7:00 AM TRAFFIC AGAIN DEAD PEDAL WITH THROTTLE BODY. I NOTIFIED FORD MOTOR CORPORATION AGAIN, VIA E-MAIL AND TELEPHONE. I MADE IT CLEAR THAT I VALUE THE LIFE OF MY DAUGHTER AND GRANDSON AND IF THEY SHOULD HAVE A DEAD PEDAL WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT GREATER SPEEDS, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE VEHICLE BEHIND THEM WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION, THEN WHAT. THAT'S WHEN CORPORATION WILL FIND THAT IT COST EFFECTIVE TO PAY OUT FOR A DEFECT ITEM ON A VEHICLE INSTEAD OF FIXING AS NEEDED SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. CASE NUMBER WITH FORD MOTOR CORPORATION IS # { [XXX]}. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH A NEW "THROTTLE BODY" THAT I HAD ORDERED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN CAROLINA, PUERTO-RICO. PART NUMBER IS AS FOLLOWS (AT4Z-9E926B) AT MY EXPENSE. AT A COST OF $125.00 .GDS... INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2011 FORD EDGE DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND DOME LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER SHUTTING DOOR. IT ENDED UP BEING THE SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND FRONT DRIVERS DOOR. THE FRONT DRIVERS DOOR SENSOR WAS REPLACED TWICE IN 2013 AND ONCE IN 2014. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS REPLACED IN 2014 AND IN JANUARY 2015. THE DOOR SENSOR ISSUE STARTED AT 34,000 MILES. WE ARE CURRENTLY AT AROUND 43,000 MILES AND THE DOOR SENSORS CONTINUE TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM. REPLACING THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SENSOR 3 TIMES IN 2 YEARS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SENSOR IN 2 YEARS AS WELL SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY ONLY DRIVING 9,000 MILES IN THOSE 2 YEARS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE DOOR SENSORS THAT KEEP GOING OUT. FORD HAS SAID THERE IS NO PROBLEM, BUT THERE HAS TO BE AFTER ALL THESE REPLACEMENTS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DOOR AJAR WARNING APPEARS CONTINUOUSLY ON THE DASHBOARD EVEN WHEN THE DOOR HAS BEEN CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM BEING LOCKED AND CAUSES THE DOME LIGHTS TO BE ON WHILE DRIVING CAUSING VISION ISSUES AT NIGHT. THE LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON WHEN THE CAR IS OFF WHICH RESULTS IN DRAINING THE BATTERY. *TR

"PASSENGER DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY ALONG WITH INTERIOR DOME LIGHT. OPENING/CLOSING DOOR USUALLY DOESN'T FIX. WARNING CAN COME ON EVEN IF DOOR WASN'T OPENED. CAN OCCUR WHEN PARKED (FIRST STARTING CAR) OR DRIVING. CAN TEMPORARILY OVERRIDE ISSUE BY PRESSING OK BUTTON, BUT CAN/WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. VERY ANNOYING AND IS A HAZARD WHEN DRIVING (KINDA STARTLING/DISTRACTING) ESPECIALLY IF IT OCCURS AT NIGHT (DOME LIGHT IMPAIRS VISION). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
COMING OUT OF AN UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED AND I RECEIVED AN ORANGE WRENCH ERROR MESSAGE STATING AWD OFF. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN A DRIVABLE GEAR. I HAD TO DRIFT TO A SPOT WHERE I COULD BE OUT OF THE LINE OF TRAFFIC, AT WHICH TIME I STOPPED THE VEHICLE/BRAKEDP; SHIFTED INTO PARK, AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. UPON RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT APPEARED TO RESOLVE. UPON DOING RESEARCH, I RECENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD SERVICE DEPT AND THEY RESET THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER AS I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING SLIPS OR ROUGH STARTS WHEN DRIVING/ACCELERATING OVER THE LAST 2-3 MONTHS. THE INCIDENT DESCRIBED ABOVE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 2.5 WEEKS AFTER THAT SERVICE VISIT. *TR
