Drivers side door ajar will not turn off even when door is closed. Safety issue because can't lock doors, can't see at night, and not sure if doors are really shut. Ended up being a shorted door switch. Read several complaints with people having same issue. Why is there no recall? multiple times a day since March 29th.

Edge

  • 12,000 miles
Door ajar sensor stays on, even though door is closed. The vehicle will not allow doors to lock when driving, and the alarm keeps going off, and dome light stays on when car is turned off if keys are left in the ignition. The doors not locking is the big safety problem, and should be recalled immediately. I had the dealer fix this once when the car was just over a year old, and now it is happening again a year and a half later. Faulty part for sure.

Edge

  • 65,000 miles
I purchased my low mileage Edge from local Ford dealer. Experiencing periodic issue with car transmission lag or jerking when accelerating from stop, as at a stop sign or pulling out of parking lots. Took to dealer several times, they can't duplicate issue, no codes. More recently the backup camera has intermittently failed. No backup guidelines are present, sometimes backup camera is visible, then goes black, other times doesn't work at all. Now my brakes are giving me issues. The pedal will either be very hard to press, as in losing power braking when a vehicle dies. Then the pedal may go all the way to the floor. Did experience something similar while in fast food drive thru, foot on brake, then brake losing pressure and pedal depressing to floor. I put the vehicle in park, then the "service advance track: Light came on briefly. This vehicle is not safe and once I make a list of all of the service bulletins it's going to the dealer for repair. Last time I went the idiot at the service counter put that I said the vehicle "stalled". never did I say that happened. I said there was a lag in acceleration and the feeling like a transmission jerking into gear. Piece of junk Ford, don't know what I was thinking buying it. All of these complaints on this site, amazing there aren't more accidents. Shame on you Ford! you used to make quality products.

All my doors are unlocked so it is very unsafe, someone could enter my vehicle while it is stopped.this happens everyday and cleaning the latch does not help.

problem #239

Edge

  • 77,000 miles
The door ajar alarm will sound even when the door is secure. When this occurs the interior lights come on and it gives a audible signal. Interior lights coming on are hazardous when driving at night especially when it happens expectantly. This activation also causes the lights to stay on after you leave the vehicle. This has caused the battery to drain and not being able to start the engine. This happen to my wife while at work. Fortunately, this time, it wasn't in a remote location, but it could happen. Ford refuses to recall or repair at their cost, even though I had it repaired previously (while under warranty).

Sync intermittently shuts down sometimes for days at a time. When sync shuts down, the back-up camera is non-functioning which eliminates safe backing. There is no way to see small people or items that might be directly behind the vehicle....very dangerous!!!
