Problems with 2011 Ford Edge ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The drivers door ajar warning was activated on the instrument panel. the door was actually closed. the safety issue was the interior lights were on while driving, the doors could not be locked when driving and the battery was drained when the car was turned off for the night. there is a safety bulletin issued on the door latch and assembly. the dealer charged $468.00 to replace the door latch assembly. the documentation is the dealership paperwork given when i paid the bill. *tr

The rear driver-side door indicator switch has become unreliable. it now indicates the rear driver-side door is open a majority of the time. because the car thinks the door is not closed, interior lights do not dim reliably and the doors no longer lock reliably. i don't get the option to do so until the car is well under way.

My driver door open light stays lit sometimes when door is closed. when this happens doors will not lock when vehicle is put into gear. have to open and close door numerous times before it goes out. started happening around 8 months ago and now happens more frequently.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. the contact stated that the instrument panel lighting remained illuminated and the "door ajar" message was displayed. in addition, the dome light remained illuminated. the failure recurred numerous times. the manufacturer was notified. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 132,000.

Really two complaints: 1) dash/center console lights not shutting down properly and repeatedly turn on/off when car is turned off. results in battery draw and frequent dead batteries and 2) door latch warning light will not turn off and doors do not lock properly when being driven.

Drives door ajar sensor does not always work leaving interior lights on while vehicle is moving. this creates a safety hazard as you cannot see outside at night due to the glare from the interior lights staying on as a result of the door ajar sensor not working properly. *tr

Driver door is latched but dome light remains on. door ajar warning light stays on. will not shut off , have to shut door multiple times until door ajar light and dome lights turn off. turns on randomly even while in driving gear. light will even stay on when vehicle is off . which if not caught might drain the battery. this has happened multiple times in a day . to every day. even at night time which caused it hard to drive.

The door ajar warning lights stays on. this results in the dome light staying on while driving for a short period of time or after the car is off. drained the battery once. also, the door can not be locked. on a much more serious note, the dome light suddenly come on while i'm driving on the highway. this creates a very dangerous situation because i'm unable to see cars around me very well. i went to the ford dealership in feb, 2015 and fixed it once. however, this happens again recently. i really think ford should address this issue! *tr

The door ajar light stays on even when the doors are closed. this then drains battery and leaves driver stranded. it also keeps the interior lights from shutting down because the system thinks the door is ajar. it doesn't matter if the car is running or not this happens.

I bought this car 2015 in the late winter. from the time i bought it the drivers door sensor would say its ajar. according to the dealer it would be about $1000 to fix. tonight my auto door unlock doesn't work and neither does the key unlock the door. i'm stranded 30 miles from home. this is totally unacceptable. i will be letting anyone who asks to be extremely cautious about any ford products.

Door ajar light on, all doors are closed and the dome light stays on also. visibility is hindered because of the dome light. had the problem repaired a few years back and now the same problem has reoccurred. faulty door latch was diagnosed the last time.

Left rear door ajar light stays on. this results in the dome light staying illuminated. when parked this drains your battery and can leave you stranded. when driving at night the dome light greatly hinders your vision. i cannot verify if the door is fully latching when this happens. this is a safety concern and needs to be a recall! *tr

Door ajar warning light on dash after closing doors repeatedly. dome lights remain on and drain battery lfe.

The door ajar sensors are erratic and often report false ajar conditions. this results in the interior lights not going out until you reach a certain forward speed and the the doors will not stay locked with the power locks, you press lock and they unlock. the lights also come on randomly while the car is parked. these sensors have a 100% failure rate and are part of the door latch so they are expensive to replace. it makes it very dangerous maneuvering the car at night with the interior lights on and it is pretty unsafe to not be able to lock all the doors and have them stay locked.

My problem is with a 2011 ford edge. the door ajar light stays on all the time. the dome lights inside the vehicle will not go out and is hazardous when driving at night. the dome lights stay on while driving. i had to replace my battery and now i am afraid my new battery will run down and leave me stranded away from home. *tr

Door ajar warning front driver passenger doors remain on with doors closed. doors will not lock and interior lights remain on while car is stopped and in motion.

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

Driver door light ajar comes on even if the door is closed. it keeps the interior lights on for long periods of time and i had to replace a battery already. thought it was just a sensor.now i found out others are having the same problem... *tr

Door ajar issue. already killed one battery. also is a safety issue. i've had to drive several times when it's dark out and the lights inside the vehicle will not shut off. not going to pay almost 500 dollars to have this fixed when i hear of tons of people fixing it, for the issue to come right back with a new part.

Door ajar light remains on the passenger side door. this causes car doors to stay unlocked, dome lights to stay on, draining my battery, unable to use the auto car start. dangerous for my small children who can now open the door while i am driving

My passenger door ajar light stays on when the car is moving or parked.

The driver's side door sensor is broken, causing the car to keep interior lights on for extended periods of time even when the car is on and driving. this causes difficulty driving in the dark as vision is hindered. the lights also stay on for 10-15 minutes after the car is turned off and locked, and will also come on at intermittent periods of time while the car is off. this problem causes the car battery to drain, resulting in a dead car battery. the car doors do not lock once the car is on and the "door ajar" light is indicated. the "door ajar" light may come on every time the car is driven in a day or may only come on periodically over several days. when on, the light indicator will stay on when the car is stationary and in motion.

Passenger door ajar warning when door appears to be closed tightly. automatic locks will not engage while in drive because warning light indicates passenger door is ajar. additionally, interior lights remain on when in drive due to passenger door ajar warning which presents a significant hazard when driving at night. problem has gotten progressively worse with time. battery car had to be replaced because interior lights would remain on all night. opening and re-shutting door is inconsistent fix. wd-40 not effective. not using passenger door once warning light turns off is the only sure way to keep door closed. passenger door ajar warning light remains on when car is in motion or stopped whenever key is in ignition. when car is off and key is out, interior lights remain on indefinitely, car is only able to be locked when car is off and key is out of ignition.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. while stationary, the vehicle experienced an electrical failure. the contact stated that the rear passenger door had a chip incorrectly installed, which caused the instrument panel to display "door ajar" even after the door remained closed. the contact stated that the interior lighting remained illuminated when the vehicle was off. sam pack's five star ford in carrollton, texas was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to ford. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the vin was not included in the recall. the failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Coming to a stop, putting vehicle in park, warning to put vehicle in park even though its already in park. it also has the door ajar problem i temporarily fix with spray lube

Door ajar light keep being on and i cannot find the problem. the door is shut but light stays on. it keeps running my battery down and has been a problem for 6 months.

Drivers door ajar warning light comes on instrument panel even after door is shut firmly. must open and shut door several times to clear this warning. this problem was repaired once under warranty on 12/20/2012. problem has returned this past week of since 10/19/2016. original owner of vehicle.

I have already filed a complaint back in 2014 concerning the drivers side door switch. this week i received a recall notice and was elated only to find out that the recall was my ford focus and ford fusion not the ford edge! the focus and fusion are being recalled for the exact same switch that the dealer charged me $389.24 to fix in my ford edge.

Door ajar warning message on while driving or parked. causes interior lights to stay on 10 minutes before turning off when parked. interior lights will turn on and alarm horn will sound intermittently when parked. i pulled the fuse for the horn relay, don't know when it will sound. i feel it's unsafe to drive without a horn. while driving doors do not lock in fact they unlock after locking them with lock switch. *tr

Door ajar alert stays on when door is closed which keeps you from being able to lock your doors while in the vehicle. interior light stays on, which illuminates you and the cockpit. with alert in the on position, you are not alerted to other doors which may be ajar. faulty latch.

The rear passenger door on the driver side of my 2011 ford edge continuously shows on the dash that the door is ajar even when it is not. i have to stop, get out of the car, open and close it (sometimes multiple times) to get it to shut off. despite being very annoying, it is also causing my battery to work extra hard because if you don't get the warning indicator to shut off when you park the car, the several of the car lights will stay on. it is also distracting to see this warning light on the dash while driving the car.

2011 ford edge lost all power from the throttle while traveling on the interstate. pulled over to the side of the road, had a yellow wrench light, no throttle response and rough running engine. shut the vehicle off waited about 2 minutes and restarted everything was running fine. drove the edge about 10 miles on the interstate to my exit, after coming to a stop and ready to accelerate onto the highway i hit the gas and got out into the intersection and the yellow wrench light illuminated again and lost all power leaving me stranded in the middle of the intersection with traffic coming both ways. after traffic stopped and i was able to slowly move to the shoulder i shut the car down again and called a friend to come help me. after sitting for 10-20 minutes, my friend showed up and the edge restarts and was able to drive home. thankful my parents weren't driving or children weren't in the car and no accident was caused. after doing some research i've come to the conclusion that the throttle body is to blame and all the symptoms are the same. apparently this is a common problem on the edge, mustang, flex, explorer and lincoln mkx. very disappointed and dangerous! great vehicle but poor quality of electronic parts i hope and pray this never happens to someone who panics while on the interstate. vehicle will not be drove until this issue is fixed. date of incident october 9th, 2015 approximately 7:45 and 8:00-8:15. mileage approximately 105,xxx.

Door ajar warning light does not go off when all doors are closed...the interior dome lights remain on and does not turn off until vehicle is in drive and has moved more than about 250 feet. it is extremely dangerous at night time especially when a lit dome light makes it very difficult to see out of the vehicle. this weekend the battery died as a direct cause of this issue! ford just issued a recall for 1.5 million defective vehicles and this year needs to be added asap. i refuse to pay for something out of pocket that the manufacture should be held responsible for...please help!

My driver side door indicator came on and at first it would take me a few times shutting the door for it come off. now its to the point where it does not turn off and keeps the interior lights on until i drive forward a bit, then turn off. that's not good at night for sure. now when my car is locked the panic alarm goes off all times of the day and night. i was driving down my driveway (thank goodness) one night and the lights turned on and the car started dinging for the door. why is this something that is not recalled??? it is dangerous for the light to stay on at night and especially if my door really isn't latched. i don't see why i should have to pay something out of pocket that i didn't break or have control over breaking. please help fix this........ *tr

Driver's door always indicates it is ajar, even when closed. this prevents interior lights from going out until vehicle reaches speed. this makes it difficult to see at night. there is no manual way to turn the lights off. i was forced to back into the road blind one night - with a trailer - because i could not see out of the car. it also will not let you lock the doors while driving and drains the battery when you turn the vehicle off. i had this repaired at my expense at a ford dealership but the problem returned 4 months later.

Door ajar lights staying on and will not go off when door is closed! they go on and off while driving down the road. can't lock the doors, alarm will not set, interior lights stay on and run battery down constantly.

Drivers side door ajar warning light is on, even when door is closed. door locks will not work, dome light stays on. this is a safety hazard when driving at night since reduces night vision as well as allows the doors to be opened by anyone. *tr

Door sensor: door sensor light stays on becasuse either door latch or door sensor has been compromised. when the door sensor is 'on' or 'lit' system does not enable auto lock when speeds are over 10 mph. overhead lights stay on at low speeds.

I have a 2011 ford edge, the door ajar symbol remains on, this allows the courtesy lights to remain on and drain the battery, i have ran electrical contact cleaner through one of the bolt holes and sprayed wd40, it worked for a little awhile, but now the lights stays on at all times, and drains the battery. this leaves my wife and child stranded at times, while aaa arrives to jump the dead battery. ford needs to fix the door latch problem, i have a local quote to replace the latch....$500.00 through ford .....before i the, consumer of a made in the usa product pay $500.00 to get the latch replaced i will trade the vehicle in for a chevrolet!!! please recall this latch problem

The door ajar error appears on the dash, even when the door is fully closed. the alarm cannot be properly activated because of this. the door was not hit in an accident, it just developed one day intermittently and is now constant. i am having to replace the door latch to resolve the issue.

Alert stating "awd off" and an image of a wrench suddenly came on while driving. car sputtered and was unable to accelerate. pulled over, turned car off and waited a few minutes. when turned back on, alert was off. luckily i was on a residential street, but could pose a dangerous situation if on the highway or during traffic due to inability to accelerate or drive car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. the contact stated that the driver side door ajar warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel and failed to turn off. as a result, the vehicle lost power. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the failure was not able to be diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 53,000. updated 01/06/2017*ct *tr

Vehicle left rear door indicator was 'door ajar" . door locks would nor lock door and dome light would not go out - this depleted the battery. left rear door latch replaced under extended warranty with $100.00 deductible. battery was only 2 years old and battery was replaced under battery warranty. all work done at ford dealer.

Driver's door sensor is bad. vehicle does not recognize that the driver's door is closed and will not lock or automatically turn off interior lights. at night, i have to back out of a long driveway only being able to use the backup camera. once in forward motion, the light will eventually turn off but the driver's door will not lock. what is to prevent someone from walking up to and opening my car door while stopped at a traffic light?? on one occasion, the door ajar icon did not come on when starting the car but came on about 8 miles down the road. also, when you park the car and lock it, it still does not recognize that the door is shut and does not automatically turn the lights off again. the ford dealership wants around $600.00 to fix this issue, i paid them $65.00 to "clean the sensor" because the guy said that it might correct the issue or at least hold it off a while. i picked the car back up 3 days ago and now that door ajar light is on all the time. before, i could at least open and close the door about 3-4 times and the light would go off.

My ford. edge has a problem with a module system that it is outdated mechanic told me that if i dont take it to the ford dealer to get it recall it can cause my car to over heat nd catch fire.

Inside lights stay on after door closed, door ajar light stays on on dash. door locks want lock or unlock at times.
