THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IN 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY DRIVER DOOR SAYING IT IS AJAR WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. IT WON'T LOCK AND THE LIGHTS STAY ON, ALLOWING FOR THE BATTERY TO DRAIN IF LEFT FOR TOO LONG. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF UNLESS I REPEATEDLY SLAM THE DOOR UNTIL IT REGISTERS THAT IT IS CLOSED. BESIDES, BEING A SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS HURTING MY SHOULDER BECAUSE I HAVE TO KEEP SHUTTING IT OVER AND OVER UNTIL IT REGISTERS. TWICE I HAVE GONE OUT IN OUR GARAGE AND NIGHT AND FOUND THE ENTIRE CAR LIT UP BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. AND IT WON'T LOCK AS LONG AS THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN, WHICH CAN ALSO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE AS MANY, MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I'VE HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THIS SAME ISSUE! *TR

WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MPH IN MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNING TO PARK, I NOTICED A THIN STREAM OF SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, ABOUT 3/4 WAY UP THE HOOD TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD . I STOPPED, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND GOT OUT. WITHIN SECONDS THE CAR WAS FILLED WITH WHITE SMOKE AND THE SAME WHITE SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT ALL SIDES OF THE HOOD AND THE FRONT GRILL, FIRE WAS DROPPING FROM THE ENGINE ONTO THE GROUND, AND WITHIN ABOUT 30 SECONDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR WENT UP IN FLAMES THAT WERE SHOOTING 10-20 FEET INTO THE AIR. 2 MINUTES OF EXITING THE CAR IT WAS FULLY ENGULFED WITH 20-30 FT FLAMES AND THICK SMOKE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. I NOTIFIED FORD OF THE INCIDENT AND THEY ADVISED THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH OTHER EDGES. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE DESTROYED CAR THE DAY AFTER AND ALSO STILL HAVE THE CAR IF THERE'S ANY REASON TO INSPECT IT. *TR

FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THE DOOR LATCH & AJAR SWITCH ASSEMBLY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED AND I KNOW NUMEROUS OTHERS WITH FORDS WITH SAME ASSEMBLY THAT HAS FAILED IN OTHER MODELS. WHEN THEY GO BAD YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE DOOR IS SHUT OR OPEN, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WON'T GO OUT (THUS DRAWING ON THE BATTERY), AND YOU CAN'T TRUST THE SENSOR TO KNOW IF THE DOOR IS SHUT AND LOCKED OR NOT. IT IS A BAD DESIGN FROM THE START WITH THIS PART. IF THEY DON'T WANT TO RECALL EVERY CAR AND REPLACE, THEN THEY NEED TO OFFER AN UNLIMITED WARRANTY THAT THEY WILL FIX FOR FREE IF/WHEN IT DOES FAIL (AND NEED TO REIMBURSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY HAD IT FIXED). *TR

FORD IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 FORD F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, EDGE, AND LINCOLN MKX TRUCKS MANUFACTURED FROM OCTOBER 25, 2010, THROUGH NOVEMBER 20, 2010. THESE VEHICLES WERE INSPECTED USING INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (IDS) THAT HAD A CUSTOM SOFTWARE ROUTINE TO READ THE SUSPECT BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) SERIAL NUMBER. BASED ON THE SERIAL NUMBER THE BCM WAS EITHER NOT AFFECTED OR REPLACED. THE CUSTOM SOFTWARE ROUTINE WAS NOT READING THE CORRECT SET OF CHARACTERS, AND WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY A BCM THAT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AFFECTED BCMS MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INTERNAL SHORT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT DEVELOPS, AN OVERHEATING CONDITION MAY OCCUR WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE.
Remedy: DEALER WILL INSPECT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND IF NECESSARY REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 7, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AT 1-866-436-7332.
FORD IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011 F-150, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, EDGE AND LINCOLN MKX VEHICLES. DURING A SIX-DAY PRODUCTION PERIOD, THE SUPPLIER OF THE BODY CONTROL MODULE MANUFACTURED MODULES THAT MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INTERNAL SHORT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT DEVELOPS, AN OVERHEATING CONDITION MAY OCCUR WHICH CAN RESULT IN AN UNATTENDED VEHICLE FIRE.
Remedy: DEALER WILL REPLACE THE BODY CONTROL MODULE IF NECESSARY FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 11, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-866-436-7332.

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this investigation on September 28, 2016 based on allegations that the door ajar light located on the instrument cluster stays on all of the time even when all doors are closed and fully latched on 2011-2013 model year Ford Edge vehicles.When the light is illuminated continuously, vehicle occupants cannot be certain if any of the doors are properly latched.Reported safety consequences as a result of this issue include doors opening while driving (because doors were initially not latched properly), doors cannot be locked while driving, and the interior dome lights staying on continuously. Ford data received from the Information Request letter corresponding to this investigation indicates the failures were caused by contamination of the electrical contacts on the switch located within each door latch that tells the vehicle if the door is open or closed.All four doors contain the same latch design and switch.According to Ford, the Body Control Module (BCM) monitors the position of the switch and continuously samples it to detect a state of change.After a closed door state is detected, a continuous wetting current designed to keep the electrical contacts clean is sent from the BCM to the switches as long as the BCM is active.Beginning with the 2011 model year Edge vehicles, a change in BCM strategy resulted in a reduction of the wetting current sent out to clean the switch contacts by more than 75%.Over time, this low level of current is not sufficient to keep the switch contacts clean and contamination build up causes them to fail as described above.During the course of this investigation, ODI has identified a total of 1,983 complaints related to the door ajar light.Of these complaints, 14 indicated that a door opened while driving.Twelve of the 14 door opening events were situations where an occupant of the vehicle (often a child) opened a passenger door because the doors were not locked.The remaining two complaints involved a door opening on its own because the driver was unaware that the door was unlatched.There were no accidents but one complainant reported that a shoulder injury was caused by the driver having to repeatedly slam the door in an effort to get the door ajar light to turn off.After reviewing all available data, an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety has not been identified.The door latches themselves continue to function properly, remaining securely latched until acted upon by a driver or passenger.Child safety locks on the rear doors continue to function properly and can be used to prevent the rear doors from opening via the inside door handles.Vehicle crashworthiness is not affected by the lock condition of the doors and all active safety systems continue to function normally even if the vehicle BCM believes one or more doors is open.In addition, no accidents or accident related injuries have been reported.A safety-related defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, the investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will monitor the issue and reserves the right to take future action if warranted by the circumstances.ODI numbers for the reports cited above are shown in the attached document.
