Problems with 2013 Ford Edge ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

While coming off an on ramp from one highway to another doing approximately 60 mph my 2013 ford edge jerked, a wrench popped up on my dash, and it lost power. the accelerator did not work but the car was still idling. luckily i was in the far left lane and there was an emergency lane on the left so i was able to coast to a stop. when i put my car in park, turned it off and turned it back on it was like nothing was wrong. the accelerator worked and the wrench was gone. however, this have since happened to be two more times and lower speeds. both times luckily no one was behind me and when i turned the car back on everything worked. i have seen many other drivers who have had this same issue. it appears to be an issue with the throttle body. there should be a recall. this is extremely dangerous!

7/20/15-while traveling in uptown charlotte, nc, my car completely shut off causing me to engage my hazard lights and coast in neutral (in a very high traffic area) to a no parking zone. no diagnostic code appeared but the wrench icon appeared. i ran an onboard system diagnostics and it was clear. car restarted when put in neutral and i then drove it the rest of the day. 7/21/15- approximately 110+ miles since the prior days problem, the car ran fine until the evening when i was driving 45 mph and climbing a grade around a curve and the car jerked and shut off showing the wrench icon again. there was no shoulder to coast onto and turned on the hazard lights, and prayed no one was behind me causing a collision. after 3 attempts the car restarted in the park position just as a van swerved to miss me in the no passing zone where the car failed. it was after hours for the dealership service department and the car is a certified pre owned vehicle with additional warranty. i filled out the description of the problem and left the car with them until 7/28/15 and authorized allowing a mechanic to drive it home if needed as no diagnostic code was generated. no repairs were made and the car was then drove less than 40 miles when it stopped running again 7/29/15 without warning the third time. ford corporate has refused to make repairs without a code and the dealership did as well, however, since having a frustrating conversation 7/29/15 with ford, the dealership told my husband that they will replace the throttle body as i requested last week as this has resolved the issue for other consumers.. this is a problem that is noted many times by other consumers. please have ford stand behind the safety of their vehicle before people lose their lives. this gives no warning and can happen anywhere at anytime and ford's stance is dangerous. thank you! updated 9/21/15 *ln...updated 10/01/15*bf updated 12/13/2017*cn

While vehicle still under warranty on july 1, 2015 took vehicle to dealer for door ajar light not going off. on 12/7/2015 took it in again but had to pay a deductible since the 36 month warranty/mileage had expired. first the dealer kept the vehicle over night to fix but the second time they stated that i had to pay the deductible for a door latch. i asked the rep several times what was done before and why that i had to pay for something that the workmanship did not last and she stated i'll have to see but never gave any information when i picked the vehicle up. ford should recall for door ajar problems and i should get my deductible back.

Driver side door will shut, but inside will show "ajar" with all dome lights on. after numerous times (20+) of opening and closing the door, it will sometimes finally close to stop showing ajar and lights will turn off. in my opinion, this is a safety hazard if driving at night as i've experienced already once with my door not willing to close properly at night, and having to drive with all dome lights on (huge issue). went to a ford dealer that says they will run a diagnostics test to see what's wrong, but there are hundreds if not thousands of complaints already on-line of people having the same issue and this still hasn't been addressed by ford for a recall. many are saying the costs are from $250-$500 for repairs to get it fixed. for a 2 year old car, this should not be happening!

One day while driving the door ajar alert came on the dashboard. when i could do so, i opened and closed the door. the alert remained on. took it to the ford dealership to have it looked at and they said it's the door ajar latch assembly has failed and that it's a common problem. it could be fixed for $500. i said no thank you. it would take me 5+ time of slamming the door closed to get the alert to go off. once i would get the alert off, i would access my car via the passenger side. eventually that has stopping working and the door ajar alert is on constantly. while driving, this brings up a "shift to park" alert every time i can to a stop. in addition to that, now while driving and i lock the doors from inside the car, they lock and then immediately unlock. all 4 doors. furious with all the problems and ford has done nothing about it.

For the second time in less than two years my car is indicating that the driver's side door is open when it is closed. it notifies me constantly using lights and dinging which is very distracting while driving. every time you turn on the car or step on the accelerator from a stop or slow speed it starts dinging. when backing up it is dinging making it hard to distinguish whether there is an object in the path. it also keeps the dome light from going off which caused the battery to fail which cost $162 to replace. additionally, the first time i paid $120 to have it fixed at the dealer. 'when the problem recurred i searched the internet and found that it is a very common problem which should be recalled by ford. a small inexpensive plastic piece which an experienced mechanic should be able to replace in 15 minutes. "when did this happen" and "how fast were you going" does not fit into a single date or speed; this has been ongoing for a couple of years and occurs at all speeds.

The "door ajar" warning light and bell stays on after the door is shut. this happened on my edge in january 2015. i took it to the ford dealer, and first they adjusted the door latch. that only lasted a couple of months. when i took it back, the dealer said that ford told them the latch would have to be replaced. the bill to replace the latch was $132.08, which i paid. that fixed my problem. i saw on the news today that this is a problem you are investigating, and i wanted you to know my situation.

Door ajar signal stays on when door is closed which keeps the interior light on and prohibits the doors from locking while driving. this creates safety issues through the distraction of having the interior light constantly on and the doors not locking. through online research, i've noticed that this is a very common problem for my type of vehicle and noticed that nothing has been done about it at this point.

Door ajar light stays on when door is closed interior light stays on inability to lock doors when inside faulty latch

On y 2013 ford edge sel awd with 36,600 miles the door ajar indicator stays on, even when door is closed and latched. this causes a number of issues: the door chime sounds when car starts in motion, which is very annoying in stop-and-go traffic; doors will not stay locked, which is a safety concern; interior dome light stays lit at night when first starting in motion, which is a safety issue. i was hoping that the issue, which obviously is a manufacturing/design defect, would be covered in a recall notice. so far it has not and i hesitate to pay several hundred $ for a dealer "fix" that does not really resolve the problem.i have read that the cost (parts & labor) is in the $400.00. of course this problem comes up just as the vehicle goes out of warranty due to mileage

Door ajar sensor. it stays on at all times. it kills my car battery and now im on my 2nd new battery. i cant back up or drive safe at night because the interior light stays on. i cant lock my doors while driving or parked because it says door ajar.

Car door is closed but the "door ajar" light comes on and also doesn't allow me to lock the doors. this is very unsafe as i drive with a child and it is hard to see when the car interior lights come on at night while i am driving because the car thinks that the door is ajar.

A constant driver door ajar alert when the door is not ajar. will try to close the door multiple times and still get the same alert. the interior lights will not go off because of the message. this causes a safety hazard because the driver will not know if their door is ajar or not. the interior lights will remain on and this causes the battery to wear out much faster than normal and can cause a very serious hazard for the driver at night. *tr

The driver door ajar alarm started going off, and the doors unlocked while the car was moving on the interstate. it has now happened several times both while driving down the road and when getting in the vehicle. now, the dome light and outside marker lights remain on and drain the battery when the vehicle is in park because the sensor isn't reading that the doors are closed.

The driver door ajar sensor keeps staying on even when the door is shut all the way. it takes several attempts of opening and closing the door to get it to go off. while the door ajar sensor is on you can not lock your doors which is a safety issue. because of this manufacturers defect it is easy for anyone to open the door and be attached or car jacked. if you are not careful the light can stay on for hours and drain your battery. i am sure nothing will get done about this until someone is killed or attached because of this defect. its a shame!!!
