Problems with 2012 Ford Edge STRUCTURE

Driver door ajar sensor going off - resulting in changing a battery out already since it thinks the door is open, the dome light stay on inside. very frustrating. read several forums of others discussing the same problem. ford needs to recall this part. door latch. the faulty sensor triggers an audible warning, activates a warning light and causes a "shift to park" message because the computer mistakenly believes the vehicle has stopped. owners complain about dome lights that stay on, drained batteries and customers say all the doors unlock and cannot be manually relocked.

All doors leaking at the door seal retainers and will not be able to repair due to poor designed flaw! all ford cars having water conditions and still allowed to sell this defective cars ! i am a master mechanic and diagnosed it my self ! this is strictly a ford quality issue for all ford edges of all years and most likely all there cars have a water issue . and it is my experience that car dealers know about it and due not issue a repair because of cost! it is a sad day for american products . forum cars built better that this! by my experience

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. while the vehicle was parked and unoccupied with the engine running, the door ajar warning indicator illuminated. the contact also stated that the door ajar chime was audible and the advance trac warning indicator illuminated. the dealer (hixson ford of monroe, 6300 frontage rd, monroe, la 71202, (318) 388-3300) was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 84,500.

Driver door not shut alert continually comes on and leaves car interior lights on. this happens on a daily basis. the door is latching fine. the sensor is faulty.

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.

I was on the freeway with the panoramic vista screen half open, when the plastic clips broke(parts that move the screen open/close) the vista screen slammed back as far as it could go, for a second i thought the entire glass had broken and i was in for a world of hurt! this could cause an extreme safety risk if the glass had shattered.

Door latch failure, causing door ajar warning to stay on and battery to drain. i have had to replace battery because of it. i have left shoulder and arm pain from opening and closing it repeatedly, until the latch closes and sends signal to control panel that the door is closed. i have safety concerns because i work at night and don't want a stalled vehicle or no lights in my car when i return to it. also is concerns for safety of passengers and children in car with me. i was told there was a recall on latches on other ford vehicles, why not thie ford edge too? i'm seriously considering trading my vehicle if not fixed. this is my first ford and maybe my last one if it isn't fixed soon!

While driving home from work last week, the drivers door ajar alarm sounded, the interior lights came on and the door locks disengaged. i pulled into a parking lot to re-close the door; which silenced the alarm; but the interior lights stayed on. as i pulled out and got back up to the speed the locks would normally engage, the drivers door alarm sounded again, interior lights remained on and locks never engaged, even when pressing the lock button. pulled over a 2nd time - with the same result. the third time i pulled off the road, i shut the vehicle off and sat for about 5 minutes. again, the same plus the shift into park alarm also sounded as soon as i reached speed when the locks should engage. i continued home listening to 2 alarms blare, the interior lights limiting my view and the doors refusing to lock. when i got home, the interior lights stayed on for almost an hour after i got out of the vehicle; it wasn't until i pulled the exterior door handle a couple times that the lights went out. the next morning, my drive to work was uneventful; that evening on my way home, both alarms are going off, interior lights are on and doors will not lock. on the second evening, i noticed the door ajar warning never came on after i started the vehicle until i reached the speed the door locks should have engaged.

My 2012 ford edge continues to alert as i am driving that my driver side door is ajar when in reality it is not. i have video of this because it distracts me as i am driving due to the red alert posted on the panel along with the high pitch beep/alarm as the warning. i than have to continually hit the reset button with my left thumb in order to silence the warning until it starts all over again within seconds. while researching this problem, it seems that it is very common within these ford vehicles. it would be greatly appreciated if this could be addressed as a recall. this has been a problem with my vehicle for many months now. one stage observation is that the aforementioned malfunction becomes occurs much more often once the temperature outside exceeds 65 degrees or higher for some reason. thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

The driver side door ajar warning light illuminates randomly and stays illuminated even when the door is fully closed and locked both while the vehicle is parked and in motion. the warning chime periodically plays and the dome light stays illuminated. my vehicle was purchased as "certified pre-owned" in december 2014 which evidently did not include replacement of the known discrepant door latch component.

The driver's door ajar light stays on until the door is slammed shut repeatedly.

Driver side door ajar sensor failing. shows door is ajar when it is not. light will not go off which drains the battery and it affects the locking system when in drive which is a safety issue. vehicle is a few years old with less than 45k miles. do a search on the internet and it is easy to see it is a widespread issue that should be recalled and fixed by ford. in my opinion this is a byproduct of ford outsourcing to mexico without proper quality control. very disappointed that ford hasn't handled this very common issue that seems to occur around 40k miles according to other owner reports. because it is expensive for the consumer to fix at the dealership it would appear that ford would rather profit off of their faulty product than take the hit to make it right. bad business - will be thinking about this when i go to purchase my next vehicle.

There is an instrument panel alarm that says "driver door ajar" that remains despite repeated opening and closing of the driver's door. we paid almost $600 to have the sensor replaced about a year ago, and now it is doing the same thing. the dealership wants to charge us again to fix it. it is a safety issue. not only does this alarm cause constant blinking and warning tones when driving, but the interior lights stay on at night for about 1 minute after driving, and i've had the car battery discharge twice when exiting the vehicle and trying to lock up for the night. if you slam the door repeatedly, it sometimes will go off, but there have been many times when i've opened and slammed the drivers door over 10 times, and i just have to live with the alarm, noise, and distraction. it has been an issue - this second time - for about a month.

Dashboard computer says rear door is ajar when it's not, will not the doors lock and dome late stays on

In april 2016, we started experiencing an issue with the drivers door latch not connecting and our drivers door ajar light staying on. we would manually have to reopen the latch to close the door but this still didn't always make this door ajar light do out. there were times we would have to close the door up to 5 times to get the light to go out and feel that the door was closed. it was worse on a trip at the end of april to florida in which we were unable to get this to happen and couldn't get our interior lights to go out since it was telling us the door was still open. this issue would happen while parked or driving. the light would be out when leaving the driveway and then come on while on the road! we had this checked three times, first two unsuccessful and the third we were told it was a broken door latch and wasn't covered so we had it repaired at the cost of $329.85! then i hear there are recalls on other ford models but the edge was not on the list and it is the exact same issue that is listed and described in the recall of many other ford vehicles!
