I have been having problems for over a year with a defective door switch on the driver's side rear door causing the "door ajar" warning light to display and the interior lights to stay on when the door is shut tight. the warning light will stay on the entire time the car is running, whether stationary or moving. recently i received the attached customer satisfaction program letter 19n09. as you can see it clearly states that ford's offer to replace the defective switch free of charge is for the drivers side front door only. i chatted with a ford customer service representative on january 29, 2020 and was told that at this time their offer does not extended to other doors. i was also told to contact the nhtsa and file a complaint. in recent months i have checked on several ford owner websites and have found that defective door switch problem is happening on any doors of the affected ford owners' vehicles. to me this makes ford's offer pointless to the majority of the vehicles with defective door switches! on behalf of myself and all ...
I reported about 3 -4 years ago about door ajar problem. my car was in warranty then. received letter to-day jan 2020 about fixing problem now my car according to them is out of warranty and now they will not cover this defect. there should be no time frame on this issue. it is a factory defect they just want consumer to pay once again for there defect not a happy camper.i will not recommend a ford to any one as they do not stand by there products
My car tells me my door is at ajar but it's not
Vehicle exhibits illuminated dome lights and door ajar messages when doors are closed and fully latched. right rear door. vehicle was stationary and dome light remained on for a short time, but "door ajar" message stayed on while car was in motion.
Door ajar warning comes on which makes thee interior lights stay on, when this warning happens the doors will not lock. tonight, it was especially dangerous when this warning happened after dark and the interior lights stayed on while driving home which is a 20 minute commute. it makes it difficult to see what's happening outside the car, especially when you live in the country trying to dodge deer becomes 100% harder with interior lights on.
Drivers side rear door will randomly set the cars alarm off saying the door is opened when in fact the door is closed. this has drained my battery once, needing a new replacement. i replaced the door switch because ford dealership told me it was bad ($400) and it still randomly goes off. this issue has left me stranded several times due to the battery being drained.
The door sensor to let the car know the door was closed, failed, resulting in a constant "door ajar" message. this occurred on the driver side door and started shortly after i purchased the car (used) in 2017 and was no longer covered under warranty. for the better part of the past 2 years i was able to repeatedly open/close the door until the sensor recognized that the door was actually closed, but that no longer became an option as of 9/9/2019. no matter how many attempts were made to open/close the door, i could no longer manipulate the sensor. two impacts occurred as a result of this: 1. the car doors would not lock. since the car believed the door was ajar, every time you would go to lock the doors, the car would automatically unlock them. this poses a safety issue. 2. the interior dome light remained lit, resulting in a dead battery. i had no choice but to spend approximately $350 dollars to have the sensor replaced. i have seen many, many complaints online from edge owners with the same issue, yet ford is not being held liable for faulty equipment. this is an unfair expense to ...
The "door ajar" sensor is faulty and has come on after closing my door and while driving even though all doors are shut properly. i went somewhere and parked my car and left for several hours. when i closed my door, the "door ajar" sensor was faulty and remained on which subsequently kept the cabin lights on and eventually drained my battery and left me stuck. i have also witness the sensor go off while driving and i have had to open and close the door while the car is moving to try to stop the chiming of the sensor. as a safety concern, this can result in you being distracted while driving or stranded with a dead battery. this is unacceptable.
July 21, 2019 driving along on a 35 mph road and car just stopped accelerating when pushing gas pedal. wrench indicator appeared and had to put car in neutral to safely pull over. car did restart after shutting off. same incident happened an hour later going the same speed. we researched and found the numerous other ford edge same complaints that the throttle body was in need of replacement. had it replaced and car is running smooth with no problems. this was a very scary and concerning issue. i can't imagine being on the expressway like others have experienced. ford make this right and put out a recall.
2013 ford edge current issue: without any warning brakes started hissing and screeching. in the same day the brakes were hard to press and did not stop the car and then they were loose to the floor, but they did not stop the car. i googled and found out that some vehicles with the same year 2013 have a recall, but my vin was not included. the symptoms lead to a failing break booster. my cars information system check does not show any warnings, brakes say ok, but i am not able to drive my car. the brakes are not grinding. twice i had to swerve onto the shoulder of the highway to avoid rear ending the car in front of me. this is frightening to occur to anyone without a system warning.
Door ajar symbol keeps coming on even when door is closed. light stays on when driving and signals to shift to park and close door. very distracting when driving and can cause an accident
The door ajar light stays on when all doors are securely closed. the light randomly comes on while driving or while parked. this causes the dome light to remain on, which drains the battery.
Driver side door window switch stop working 'no power '. defected harness connection
The "drivers door ajar light" stays on even with the door securely closed. i had to slam it a few times, which i feel is improper procedure, to disengage the light. upon securing vehicle, the interior lights won't disengage. this drains the battery life, where upon i need to buy a new battery. while driving at night, the interior light stays on, which makes it hard to see. is there or will there be a recall for this very important problem ???
Driver door ajar warning on when door is shut tight, after slamming door shut a few times it goes out. this has been a problem for several months.
