2012 Ford Edge ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

HEADLIGHTS HAVE BURNED OUT 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. BOTH HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT. BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAMS BURN OUT AT THE SAME TIME. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED WITHIN 3 MONTHS AND 1 HAS ALREADY BURNED OUT. THE DEALER IS RECOMMENDING REPLACEMENT OF BOTH ASSEMBLIES AT ACOST OF 1400+. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT INVOLVING THIS AREA.

MY DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR SENSOR KEEPS SAYING IT IS OPEN WHEN IT ISN'T. THIS CAUSES ME TO DRIVE WITH THE LIGHT ON UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF. WHEN I PARK AND LOCK THE CAR THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A LONG WHILE. AND THE ALARM EVEN BEEPS TWICE TELLING ME THE LIGHT IS ON/IT THINKS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN WHEN IT'S NOT.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON. WHEN I START DRIVING THE LIGHTS ARE ON UNTIL I MOVE A FEW FEET. I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK MY DOORS OR USE MY REMOTE START. IT HAS KILLED MY BATTERY. WHEN MY CAR IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS FAILING. DOOR AJAR MESSAGE STAYS ON WITH DOOR CLOSED (DRIVER'S) MAKING DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT WITH CONSTANT WARNING BEEPS AND DOME LIGHT ON (EVEN AT NIGHT). I HAVE TO OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES VERY HARD FOR IT TO GO AWAY. MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, AND APPARENTLY IT PROGRESSIVELY GETS WORSE UNTIL THEY HAVE CONSTANT BEEPING WARNING, DOME LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, DOORS THAT WON'T LOCK WHILE DRIVING AND THE CONSTANT RISK OF A DEAD BATTERY AFTER RETURNING TO THEIR PARKED VEHICLE. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY DUE TO THE DOME LIGHT STAYING ON AFTER PARKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND DESERVES A RECALL. THE CURRENT FIX APPARENTLY REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENTIRE LATCH FOR AROUND $400, EVERY TWO YEARS ON AVERAGE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AJAR IS CONSTANTLY ON. I HAVE OPENED AND SHUT THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVEN TRIED TO DO WHAT SOME YOUTUBE VIDEOS HAVE SHOWN. DOME LIGHT SOMETIMES STAYS ON AFTER I PARK, SOMETIMES GOES OFF. I WILL HAVE A DEAD BATTERY AND PROBABLY ADDITIONAL COSTS UNLESS I WANT TO PAY $400+ TO FORD TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

THE DRIVER DOOR AND REAR DRIVER DOOR "DOOR AJAR" NOTIFICATION'S DO NOT TURN OFF, EVEN WHEN THE DOORS ARE CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY, AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START LATER. THIS ALSO PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND CAN NOT SEEM TO BE RESOLVED, EVEN AFTER A MECHANIC CLEANED AND LUBRICATED THE DOOR LATCHES.

FAULTY DOOR LATCH SENSOR ON REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON AS WELL. THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAY ON EVEN AFTER THE CAR IS SHUT OFF CAUSING DRAINING OF THE BATTERY. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT HAS EVEN COME ON WHEN DRIVING. PROBLEM STARTED OVER A MONTH AGO AND HAS BEEN SPORADICALLY HAPPENING

DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND IT IS DRAINING MY BATTERY.THE DDOR LATCH IS DEFECTIVE

BATTERY DRAINS DUE TO SOME LIGHTS STAYING ON AS WELL AS DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYING ON, ALTHOUGH ALL DOORS ARE SHUT. THESE ISSUES HAPPEND THUS FAR WHEN TRYING TO PARK THE VEHICLE AND WHEN ENTERING TO DRIVE. THE LIGHT WILL STAY ON DURING DRIVING.

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SWITCH IS NOT WORKING WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING OR LEAVE LIGHTS ON TO DRAIN THE BATTERY WHEN PARKED.

DOOR AJAR INDICATOR STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED KEEPING INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHEN DRIVING CAUSING VISION PROBLEMS AT NIGHT. ALSO WILL NOT ALLOW DOORS TO BE LOCKED WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION.CAR HAS ONLY 12000 MILES AND IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION AND HAS NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO HARSH WEATHER CONDITIONS.DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME BUT IS BECOMING FREQUENT.

THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND THIS LEAVES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHICH IS A NIGHTTIME DRIVING HAZARD. THE DEALER SAYS THE LATCH IS DEFECTIVE AND FORD WILL NOT ASSIST IN THE REPAIR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING AND STATIONARY. DUE TO THE HIGH COST (OVER $550.00) PEOPLE ARE GOING TO IGNORE THE REPAIR AND THEN DRIVE IMPAIRED. SO HOW MANY ACCIDENTS ARE REQUIRED BEFORE FORD IS FORCED TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE? *TR

THE WARNING LIGHT THAT THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR IS CONSTANTLY ON, EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WHEN THE CAR IS ON, AND WHEN DRIVING. IT ALSO KEEPS THE INTERIOR AND PERIMETER LIGHTS ON, UNTIL THEY 'TIME OUT,' WEARING DOWN THE BATTERY. *TR

BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR CLOSED SENSORS STOPPED WORKING. THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND THE DOOR LOCKS TO UNLOCK WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DO GO OUT ONCE I REACH 10 MPH BUT THERE IS NO VISIBILITY WHEN BACKING UP AT NIGHT MAKING IT DANGEROUS FOR ME AND ANYONE THAT MIGHT BE BEHIND ME.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN ALL DOORS ARE SHUT. SYSTEM CONSTANTLY ADVISES DRIVER TO SHIFT TO PARK WHILE DRIVING AND CONTINUES CHIMING THAT DRIVER'S DOOR IS OPEN. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, MANY SAFETY FEATURES WILL NOT ENGAGE BECAUSE COMPUTER BELIEVES DRIVER'S DOOR TO BE OPEN.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WHEN NOT. DOOR LOCKS DO NOT ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING, INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHICH DRAINS BATTERY AND UNABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THIS. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. CAN NOT LOCK VEHICLE FROM OUTSIDE OR SET ALARM ALL INTERIOR LOCKS REMAIN ON AND DO NOT SHUT OFF

PASSENGER DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. SYSTEM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE HAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND WILL NOT ALLOW DOORS TO LOCK POSING SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO THE DOME LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF DUE TO THE SENSOR NOT RECOGNIZING THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. EVEN AFTER REPEATEDLY SHUTTING DOOR (OVER 10 TIMES) THE SENSOR WILL POP ON DURING DRIVING OF THE VEHICLE. DONE LIGHTS REMAIN ON AFTER CAR IS TURNED OFF WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY.

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR CENSOR WOULD NOT GO OFF DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE DOOR WAS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THIS CAUSED MY DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON, THE CAR SYMBOL TO STAY ILLUMINATED ON THE PANEL, THE DOORS TO STAY UNLOCKED, AND THE WARNING TONE TO SOUND WHILE DRIVING. ALL OF THESE ISSUES OCCUR WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE IN MOTION. I HAD THE PAR REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR $387 AND AFTER ONE YEAR AND TWO WEEKS THE PROBLEM HAS STARTED TO REOCCUR IN THE SAME FASHION.

SAYS DOOR IS AJAR WHEN ITS NOT. DOME LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, WONT LOCK, AND BEEPS CONSTANTLY WHEN NOT IN PARK UNTIL I TRY TO CLOSE THE DOOR, THAT IS ALREADY CLOSED. HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE, OPEN AND CLOSE, OPEN AND CLOSE UNTIL IT TURNS OFF. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS IS NOT JUST AN ANNOYANCE ISSUE. *TR

WHENEVER I ENTRY THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DRIVERS DOOR, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. IF I DON'T CONTINUE TO CLOSE THE DOOR (AT LEAST 4 TIMES) THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. THE CAR TELLS ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. WHEN I LOCK IT WITH THE REMOTE, IT WILL BEEP TWICE INSTEAD OF ONCE, A WARNING THAT THE CAR IS NOT SECURE. I CAN NO LONGER LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DRIVERS SIDE BY USING MY HAND IF THE KEY IS ON MY PERSON. I CAN DO THAT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY ALARM GOES OFF AS MY CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVE WAY. I HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. IT IS A FAULTY DRIVER DOOR SWITCH. SPEAKING WITH FORD DIRECTLY AND THE DEALER, I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS OCCURRING BECAUSE THE SWITCH IS FAULTY. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS EXPENSIVE FORD NEW AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT SERVICED AT THE DEALERS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY FORD DOES NOT SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM AND ACTIVE A RECALL. THANK YOU.

KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGE BASED ON NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR GOES OFF CRIPPLING DOOR LOCK MECHANISM. NOT ONLY DO LIGHTS STAY ON DRAINING BATTERY BUT UNABLE TO LOCK DOOR PRESENTS SAFETY PROBLEM. FORD HAS A TSB FOR ELECTRICAL CLEANING BUT THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE OVER TIME. PROBLEMS REPEATS ITSELF WITH ONLY KNOWN FIX TO BE DOOR LATCH REPLACEMENT.

WHEN I GET INTO THE CAR AND SHUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, I GET AN ERROR THE DOOR IS AJAR. CLEARLY IT IS NOT BUT A RELENTLESS BEEPING IS WARNING ME OF THE TROUBLE. THE DOOM LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR THE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR FIVE MINUTES, INDICATING A DOOR IS STILL OPEN. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLEARLY CLOSED. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE INSIDE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. WHEN FIRST ENTERING VEHICLE IN THE MORNINGS, INTERIOR LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. *JS

A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT BEGAN STAYING ON WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED PROPERLY. THIS CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO STAY ON INSIDE THE CAR ALONG WITH THE ANNOYING BEEPING SOUND. WHAT REALLY CONCERNS ME IS THAT I HAVE MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND BEING THAT THE DOORS WON'T LOCK AS THE LIGHT IS NOW ON CONTINUOUSLY, SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AT ANY TIME. JUST WAIT UNTIL THERE IS A MAJOR INJURY FROM THIS BEFORE BEING RECALLED, ISN'T THAT HOW IT USUALLY WORKS? *TR

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY MAKING THE VEHICLE REACT AS THOUGH THE DOOR IS OPEN EVEN THOUGH IT IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING AND PREVENTS THE DOME LIGHT FROM TURNING OFF. THE DOOR AJAR ALARM AND LIGHT WILL NOT STOP ALERTING THE DRIVER TO THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, THERE IS A DANGER TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS WHILE MOVING. WHEN DOME LIGHT FAILS TO TURN OFF, THE CAR BATTERY CAN RUN DOWN PREVENTING THE CAR FROM STARTING. *TR
