Problems with 2012 Ford Edge STRUCTURE

I recently purchased a 2012 ford edge. in nov. 2013 a warning started showing on the dash every time i close the door (either driver side doors or passenger side doors) that says door ajar. no matter how many times i close the door it still says it. if i ignore it and drive down the road another warning pops up that says shift into park. when these warnings are on the interior lights stay on as well. which could leave to a dead battery . these warnings going off every few minutes is very aggravating and for me a little scary as well especially when u r driving down the road and it says warning shift into park.... is there any kind of recall for this problem or anything that can be done to fix this? i thought it would stop but after having the vehicle for 9 months it is still doing it. i have my grandbabies in the vehicle with me alot and to me whenever there is any kind of warning showing up that is a problem and could lead to something serious and should be taken care of by ford. *tr

Driving home on 78 from julian and heard a loud pop pulled over to the side of the road and saw that the sunroof over the back seat had exploded. luckily the grand kids weren't the back seat the glass stay intact. took the car to heller ford where we both it and explained what happened. they said they have never heard of this happening before, something must hit it and it is our responsibility to pay for it. we are waiting for the glass to come so poway glass can re place it. then we will see if ford is going to pay for it. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. the contact stated that the driver side door ajar warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

When driver side door is closed the door-ajar lamp lights up in transit, door ajar bell turns on and both remain on. courtesy lights remain on at first, but will eventually turn off. at other times, the door ajar lamp lights as soon as the key is in the ignition and before the car is turned on and they remain on even after multiple attempts are made to close the door successfully. i replaced the door latch at my own expense, but the problem resumed 18 months later. *tr

The drivers door ajar stays on all the time. you can't tell if the door is really ajar or not? i've read many complaints online about this problem in ford vehicles including the edge. the door ajar switch is part of the door latch assy and is not easy to get to or cheap to repair. *tr

the dreaded "door ajar" problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. the contact stated that the front driver side door warning light illuminated even though the door was closed securely. in addition, the interior dome lights remained illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the door ajar sensor was replaced. the failure recurred two years later. the manufacturer was notified of the issue. the approximate failure mileage was 25,000.

Driver side door ajar sensor is dysfunctional

Driver: 83 year old woman... new auto: ford edge 2012, no injuries, vehicle damage approx $2000.00 no property damage..... problem: lady stepped on accelerator rather than brake.... reason: the brake pedal at rest is higher than the accelerator pedal at rest. the driver is used to an older (chrysler 2009) vehicle which there was not an appreciable difference in pedal height, stepped on the accelerator pedal, thinking she was stepping on the brake.... resolution: discussing the incident, the woman was seated in the ford edge and asked to see if she felt a difference in height of the brake vs accelerator pedals. she did, and has since practiced going between pedals, lifting her foot to access the brake, rather than merely sliding her foot to the left........ it is this writers opinion that many of the unexplained accidents where a person, especially when an elderly person is driving, has mistook the accelerator for the brake is due to the height of pedal difference. ................ it might be wise to make aware this problem to manufacturers and the public. ........ thanks *tr
