Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2011 Ford Edge

I was driving my ford edge on route 303 in phoenix at about 60 miles per hour when the car suddenly started shaking and losing power. it allowed me to drive a very short distance until i was able to stop the car, in a turn lane with a tractor trailer on my tail ...very disconcerting! a yellow wrench light was showing along with some notice about my traction being off, i believe. after sitting a few minutes i was able to move it off the turn lane and into a fairly safe lane ahead. fortunately a policeman pulled up behind me and i shut off the engine and called aaa for a tow. 20 minutes later, i turned on the engine which now seemed fine so the policeman suggested that i pull forward into a safer area. after doing sotheby's car seemed fine again so i drove it to my daughter's house several miles away and cancelled the tow. i have been researching this issue on line since and this has happened to many edge owners who have feared for their lives when the same thing happened to them. some say ...

The suv gave me a blinking engine light. decoding to a misfire problem. the first time i had the car looked at they replaced the coil packs. about 10,000 miles later i got the same misfire problem. some of the coil packs were melted. i had the suv towed to a garage and they said the engine control module is defective. they replaced the control module for $1500.00. yikes. dealer told me that ford motor company knows the ecm is defective but won't recall so i have to pay for their screw up. want a refund from ford.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. the contact stated that the doors of the vehicle failed to automatically lock when the vehicle was driven as the vehicle was designed to operate. the contact stated that the doors would intermittently lock then release the locks, as well. the sensor that indicates whether the doors were locked consistently states that doors were ajar despite the actual positioning and locking of the doors. the vehicle was taken to the (hawk ford located at 2525 e main st, saint charles, il 60174, phone number 630-584-1800) who informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under the customer satisfaction program. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue and referred the contact to nhtsa to file a complaint. the approximate failure mileage 129,131.

The front passenger door ajar light randomly comes on and stays on which keeps on the interior lights. causing passengers to feel u safe as nd making it dangerous to drive at night and nearly impossible to back up. the parking lights come on and off a out of nowhere draining the battery which leaves it dead.

Passenger door latch door closed sensor failed. requires 30+ closures of the door for the sensor to dim cabin lights and keep doors lockes. when driving down the road if door sensor does not recognize it is closed, will unlock all car doors making it possible for a backseat child to open doors while in motion.

My ford edge 2011 3.5 6cyl while in motion, stopped running and three new electric modules and 6 cores had been replaced and the unit still doesn't run normal and has a burning smell in the motor. unit has been for the last 1 month at the authorized ford dealer and now they want to charge me the catalytic. almost +2k in bills.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. the contact stated that due to a door lock failure, the battery was drained. the contact also stated that the door locks failed to operate as intended. the vehicle was taken to (krieger ford, inc. 1800 morse rd, columbus, oh 43229) for a diagnosis. the contact was informed that the passenger's side lock actuators needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired twice however the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of this issue but did not offer any assistance. the approximate failure mileage was 71,000

Vehicle was traveling apx 35mph went to depress brake at stop light, brake felt stuck halfway, vehicle did not slow down and then brakes make a high pitch beep sound when fully depressed.

The door ajar light intermittently stays on even when all doors are closed. the light stays illuminated while driving or stationary. it is now causing the car alarm to go off randomly at all hours. this is a safety concern to as the automatic door locking when putting the car in drives does not activate. i have read years of complaints on the ford owner forums. it's time for ford to issue a recall to fix the problem. it's obviously the door latch switch which costs $400.00 to have replaced. please help. my neighbors are very upset about being woken up at all hours, but i do not have $400.00 to have the issues fixed. this has been happening on and off for over 2 years, ever since the odometer read over 50,000 miles.

After years of door ajar issues and replacing the battery multiple time due to the dome lights and headlights coming on randomly because of the door ajar sensor issue, the door started alarming randomly. after this one of the doors (rear right) stopped opening and was permanently locked. after taking it to ford, the service department exercised the locks and the door operated. one month later while my child was getting into the vehicle (stationary) at school the door failed to close. after using the seat belt extension to tie the door closed, i took the vehicle in to replace the rear right door, except the other three doors continue to have similar issues and now i fear the door opening while driving.

Passanger door latch sensor and rear passanger door latch sensor malfunction both of the latch sensors are not working the doors are closed but the sensors indicate the doors are open, and makes the vehicle not to locked whenever i am driving. i strongly believe this is a safety issue, i am saving money to fix this, but in the time i extremely worry about my kids while i am driving with them, i did some search online and a lot of ford edge owners are having the same issue. thank you for your time.

1.drivers door ajar light warning stays on. 2. head lights. the door ajar light and dome light stays on have too repeatedly slam the door for light to go off. also headlights goes out at night sometime the right light goes out or the left some times 4th they both will go out have to switch the knob back to off position and then turn back on to get the headlights back on.

Door ajar warning always on even when doors are closed. dome lights remain on and unable to lock or secure the vehicle. drains battery leaving me stranded. it remains on when the car is on, off, moving, not moving, with or without occupants.

Display screen is black. no radio, sync, climate controls etc. was told by the local dealer that the a-pim module needed to be replaced. very expensive. why did this happen?

First of all the first problem i encountered with my vehicle was the passenger wheel barring was defected and started making a bad noise so took it to the shop and the mechanic said lucky i did because is was about to break and cause my wheel to come off going down the road. after that i noticed that my engine would run hot if i sat still in the parking lot just running even with the ac off. i had no warning that anything was wrong. i turned my car off and it didn't seem to do it anymore until we started getting this really hot weather this may, me and my family was going in to town to grab a bite to eat when (without any warning) my car starts sputtering as if i put bad gas in it. my husband instructed me to pull over and take a look and low and behold my car has been running hot just after driving only 10 minutes. he pulled the dipstick and oil is milky and oil was all in the water resivour. my car had over heated without any warning that anything was wrong and blown heat gasket ...
