A vehicle in front of me slowed down and when i went to take my foot of the gas my tennis shoe got caught on the plastic trim on the engine compartment next to the gas pedal.. i had to pull hard to get my foot off the gas. i brought the vehicle to the ford dealer and was told that all the edges had the trim and they did not seem concerned. it only happens when my leg was resting on the side of the engine compartment while holding down the gas pedal. it happened several times while driving on the illinois freeway. the car in front of me slowed down and by the time i got my foot off the gas pedal i had to apply the brakes quickly and the vehicle behind me almost hit me. i think ford should be required to modify the trim in that area. *tr

While driving down a street, suddenly the "drivers door ajar" alarm and warning light came on on the dash, the door was secured shut, but interior lights came on as if door was open. since the initial date of incident the vehicle now does this during operation, whether the vehicle is parked, or in motion. a call to the local ford dealership service department it was indicated that this has been a complaint of hundreds if not thousands of late model ford owners and that, still at this time, fordmoco has not issued a recall for the door latches, thus if not under their 3yr/36,000mile warranty the part would have to be replaced at the vehicle owners expense of around $400-$500 u.s. for the part and repair. i was directed to file a complaint via safercar.gov website, and to also explore many internet websites and forums related to this ongoing issue. upon a brief internet search, i was easily able to find that indeed the ford service adviser was correct in the amount of complaints by many late model vehicle owners concerning the door latch sensor failures, causing the alarm/warning light to activate while the vehicle is in motion, or parked, whether the vehicle was on or off.

The door latch on the 2013 ford edge is faulty, and continually has to be replaced. this is the second time in 6 months we have had to have this replaced, and this time, we are 3000 miles over our warranty, and are having to go out of pocket for this - an expense of over $300. additionally, because the door latch doesn't work correctly, it continually causes the interior lights of the cart to stay on, which has caused the battery to deplete, and we are now facing the charge for a new battery as well in order to get our vehicle in working order. lastly, ford informed us today that the factory battery that they installed is "too small" for this size vehicle, and a larger capacity battery should be put in its place. we purchased this car new, and issues like this make us feel as if we've purchased a lemon. ford is now charging us for a part that is clearly poorly manufactured, and as a consequence, causing us to buy additional parts like batteries to support their mistakes. *tr
