Problems with 2013 Ford Edge ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Bought my car in february of 2014. (we were the 2nd owners. not sure if previous owners experienced trouble before they traded the car in.) almost immediately we started having issues with "door ajar" lights staying on which caused the interior lights to stay on while driving down the road. it also doesn't allow the doors to lock themselves automatically when driving. we had sensors replaced by ford on both front doors after a lot of back and forth with them last year. now we are having trouble with a sensor on one of the back doors that's causing all the same problems as last time only this time we are also having trouble with interior lights coming on and going off on their own while the car is sitting parked. nobody likes a dead battery. this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. right now this is a warranty issue for me but will eventually cost around $500 a pop to fix and more importantly it poses a safety issue for the children riding in my car if their door doesn't latch properly & i don't know it because i assume it's just the sensor acting up again. please help get this sensor recalled. ford has no intention of doing it. *tr

Door ajar drivers side. took it into ford and they said it just needed to be cleaned, charged me 100. now it is happening again 9 months later... annoyed. *tr

The driver door almost always reports that it is ajar despite the fact that it is closed. it will occasionally stop reporting the problem if i repeatedly open and close the door. this prevents the doors from locking while the vehicle is in motion and causes the interior lights to remain on in the vehicle when parked for about 10 minutes. the alert will also chime every time i start from a complete stop which is very distracting. *tr

Arriving home the evening of february 15, 2014 my two sons (both adults) smelled something burning when we got out of the car at our house. upon inspection, they noticed the rubber cover over the positive post on the battery had melted slightly. i called the nearest ford dealer monday morning (2/17/14) to have them check it out. they discovered that the wrong circuit breaker assembly had been installed on the battery. and to make matters worse, the fuse was by-passed with the use of a large paper clip. talk about rigging something up!!! this paper clip had gotten so hot it even burned a hole in the top of the battery about the size of a quarter. i have a photo. this was only discovered when the new circuit breaker assembly was about to be installed. it was all hidden by the rubber cover. we did not think to inspect this upon purchase in july, 2013. it was a brand new car! this was a tragedy waiting to happen. fortunately it did not. but someone at either the manufacturer or the dealership rigged this instead of putting the proper part on it. *tr

After door is closed the door ajar light stays on. issue online seems to be dirty or bad sensor. already paid the dealer to clean. lasted one year.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. the contact stated that after closing the driver side door, the door ajar warning light illuminated indicating that the door was still open causing the dome light to remain on. the vehicle was taken to the dealer. the technician diagnosed that the door lock sensor needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 40,000.

Door ajar light continually come on, which results in a warning light, doors won't lock, can set the alarm when parked. the door (driver side door) is clearly closed. this is the second ford edge (previous was a 2011 model) that has had the exact same problem. clearly a trend and a design flaw. previous switch went bad at just under 40,000 miles. *js

All the car sensors have gone out it says the doors are open at all time even when closed tightly the lights come on and go off on their own when it's parked and the engine is shut off the engine oil light pops on and off the air pressure light stays on the air bag light goes on and off the back up camera hardly ever works. the head lights have dropped down and only shine out about a 15 feet ahead of you while driving.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. while operating the vehicle, the door ajar warning message for the front and rear driver side doors would display although the doors were completely secured. the contact also indicated that after turning the vehicle off and closing the doors, the battery would become drained due to the failure. the vehicle was taken to the dealer on multiple occasions and the door switches were cleaned and/or replaced but the failure would recurred approximately 10,000 miles later. in addition the contact indicated that due to the failure the doors were unable to be locked while operating the vehicle and the interior lights would remain on. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 50,000.

The driver's door and right rear door sensors intermittently have a "door ajar" warning, though each door is completely shut. the sensor is inside the latch, and has a very high failure rate, based on cursory internet research. the warning can occur while driving, it alerts the driver to put the car in park. ford categorizes the door ajar warning under 'safety' in its extended warranty plans, so i would conclude that not knowing whether the door is actually ajar or not is, in fact, a safety issue. *tr

The door latch sensor does not work. as i am driving it detaches and signals to the car that the door is ajar while it is not. this cause the doors to unlock and the lights to turn on. while i am driving it becomes dangerous because the doors are not locked. also, as one is driving and the lights turn on unexpectedly it could affect ones vision. its seems it is a defect in door that is damaging the part. many have had them replaced and after a while becomes defective once again.

We were returning home via i55 and i turned on the adaptive cruise control and the pre-collision system. three times in the space of an hour, without any vehicle in front of us, the vehicle brake itself. there was a tractor and trailer next to us and cars behind us on the two lane highway. after the third incident i turned off the pre-collision system but left the adaptive cruise control on. some time later with different vehicles, but the same types in the same relative positions, the car brake violently, the warning lights in the windshield were blinking and a siren was sounding and there was no one in front of us again. the attempted stop by the car was so violent it threw us forward. we have not driven the car since and it has been at the ford dealer waiting for a diagnosis and a part that may fix the issue. the edge has been at the dealer since the the 27th of december and no one has any idea as to when the "part" may be in. we took possession of the car on december 20th, 2014. i contacted ford asking for a buy back and am waiting to hear. both the dealership service manager and a ford field engineer experienced the same issues. *tr

Door adjar signal turns on while driving. interior some light turns on as well. inability to lock doors while in car or exiting vehicle. faulty door switch.

Door ajar light goes on. have taken the car in several times for the same thing still not fixed. this weekend soon after i bought the car i do not remember the date they will have it at the mechanic i'm sure or somewhere in my file folders

Door latch switch will not recognize that the door is shut. i took it in for warranty and ford sprayed it with lub. and said it would fine. because of it everytime you brake there is a chime. you cannot lock the doors the pop open again. dome lights will not go off and battery in car will go dead if you leave the keys in the ignition. i am concerned that the airbags will not deploy in an accident. i think that this needs further investigation on fords behalf. it is a distraction during driving and also a safety concern the doors will not lock when i have kids in the car. i tried to have it repaired and the repair failed.

Faulty sensor in driver's-side door? sensor shows the driver's door is ajar when it is closed, but the alert goes off the entire time you're driving which is a hazard & distraction. *tr

Rear door is open. lights stay on. please put car in park. engine is on. error codes. door is shut and it won't disengage alert or read door is shut with or without key in ignition. *tr

The system is showing a "door ajar" alarm, drivers front door. initially i thought it was just because i did not close the door enough so i just opened it, and pulled a little harder and the alarm went away. i drove the car for a few days and one morning when it was frosty i closed the door and the "door ajar" alarm posted again. i opened the door and closed it several times and the alarm went away. from this i thought the striker needed to be adjusted, i thought, "how is it possible that the door switch could have failed on a vehicle that is only 1.5 years old?". i drove the car for a few more days and at this point the alarm was posting about 50% of the time. around the beginning of december the alarm began posting all the time. now, it posts nearly 95% of the time with only a few times where it does not. the issue with this alarm is twofold: 1) it keeps the dome lights on because the system does not see that the door is closed when you get out of the car and lock it, thus the timer must time out (around 20 minutes) and the lights turn off. 2) this prevents the doors from being locked while driving. the last one is the one that i have a problem with because this, to me, is a safety concern. *tr

Car stopped running as my wife,daughter,and myself were on our way home. my wife was driving and was able to pull to the side of the hwy. after a few minutes the car restarted and we continued home. i took the car to the dealer and left it for about a week. the service rep. i spoke with said they could find no trouble code and could not duplicate the problem. i asked if he had spoken with ford engineering about this and he said no. i asked him to and he said he would. he called ford engineering and they said they had no solution and denied a problem. i was told to return my loaner car. i did so .a different service rep. waited on me this time.when he brought me the car he asked if my problem was fixed and i said no .he asked me the problem and i told him.he then told me that he had a lady with the same problem with her car,a 2012 ford edge. he contacted ford and they told him to change programming. they did this two times and the problem persisted.she then traded the car with 32000 mi. on it for a new vehicle. i talked with several ford reps and for the most part seemed unconcerned. i expressed my safety concerns to them to no avail. i was treated as collateral damage. *tr

Our ford edge keeps thinking the drivers door is open!!! its not a secure feeling when you are driving or standing and all of a sudden the lights go on and the panel is saying your doors is open. *tr

The driver side door becomes ajar even when shut and you have to open and shut the door numerous times to have the alert go away. the dome lights stay on and at night this not safe. also, every time you start to accelerate the car beeps and tells you to put the car in park, which is a distraction. also this prevents the doors from locking while the vehicle is in motion and causes the interior lights to remain on in the vehicle when parked. if continue to drive while door ajar lamp is illuminated the alert will also chime every time i start from a complete stop which very distracting. *js

Heter on lower part that. you sit on gets excessively hot and burnedmy butt. dealer thinks it could be a short in the wiring

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. while the vehicle was parked, the door ajar indicator illuminated when the door was closed and the interior lighting randomly illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver's door sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 30,000. the vin was not available.

Get in, close door, start ford edge,...drivers door ajar lights, warns, chimes and flashes put in park, drivers door open!! instantly unlocks _a_l_l_ doors and lights all interior up thus removing all safety of locked doors from unlawful and unsafe intrusion of others!!!! will not cancel or turn off. furthermore entire time using edge for reliable transportation is rendered useless----- while doors stay unlocked, can be open anytime! ford motor company should do something quick before a horrible incident happens starting a flood of lawsuits for endangering the owners of ford edges!! *tr

This is a 2013 ford edge limited. it has 13,000 miles and is 15 months old. this vehicle has a myford touch screen and system. this system has been giving us problems since we got the edge. on september 17, 2013 my wife was stopped in a parking lot trying to get the myford touch system to make a call from her cell phone. this cell phone has been paired to the myford touch system since day 1 but refused to recognize the phone to make a call. she was touching the screen to make the call and the screen cracked. the systems that are part of the screen will not work now due to the cracked screen. the driver is forced to manually work around the system controls since the touch screen will not work. ford regional service refuses to replace the cracked touch screen as a warranty issue. the vehicle is well within the warranty period. ford requires $1,500 to replace the cracked touch screen. ford has multitudes of issues with this myford touch system which the touch screen is a part of the overall system. this cracked screen needs to work to make the vehicle as safe to drive as advertised by ford. ford is simply not covering the replacement of an item that is needed for the vehicle to perform safely. *tr

Door sensor...took it in to ford and they fixed it...but now the problem is back and my car is out of warranty. did some research and found that this is a problem with a lot of ford products. this has to stop!!!!

The central computer indicates that the driver's seat door is open when it is in fact fully closed. it stays that way, no matter how many times you close the door. *tr

Upon starting the engine, we have had sporadic driver's door ajar indications with dash alarm & interior lighting affected. this has plagued us from 2500 miles to the present (february 2016 @ 36,000 miles). first incident occurred shortly after purchase of vehicle on april 1, 2013. several trips to the dealer w/door adjustments & "burning of the contacts" has not solved the intermittent problem that comes back sometimes for several days at a time. we always check the door to make sure that it is shut & continue to drive the car w/warning and interior lights on. at night this issue creates an unsafe driving condition. i feel this is a recall issue because of the safety nature of this problem. the dealer has been very elusive, not supplying paperwork concerning this issue. maybe ford is playing dodge ball on this, but they are only making enemies of their customers.

I bought my used ford edge with less than 20000 miles. i was excited to have a sony media center, it had great sound. but i've had problems with it from the beginning and continue to have issues. with bluetooth my phone will not connect or loose connection for no reason. the other day it made a phone call without any commands, and no i do not have voice rec. set up or on. even when i use the sys to start a phone call, it 'call fails' or i will be on the line, but hear nothing. i don't talk much in my car, i don't know who is listening. lol also i have a screen to the right of my dash & it does not correlate with my main screen. when i request to make a 'quick call' off my steering wheel it has a different list then my main screen. so dumb!! i also use an ipod via usb. and when i turn of the car and turn it back on the sys does not go back to the ipod, only the radio turns on. then i have to manually tell the sys to connect to the ipod and redo my selections/randoms. which takes forever to go through the props. the sony sys sucks!!! one last thing, i would love if i had a back window instead of just a door. i miss that, why did they get rid of that? *tr

Internal electrical failure in the left front door latch with integral switch that sends a false door ajar signal to the dashboard instruments and audible alarm system. begins as an intermittent issue then in a few days becomes constant. annoying at the least. distracting at the worst, especially for less experienced drivers. my repair was out of any warranty due to mileage. *tr
