"DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT ON DASH DOES NOT GO OUT. ALSO, TWIN INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT GO OUT. THIS DRAWS DOWN BATTERY WHEN PARKED AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. FIX FROM FORD DEALERSHIP IS $400+. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, AND SEEMS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM. I SAW ON LINE REPAIRS OF HOW TO FIX GOING BACK TO 1998 FORD MODEL FROM WINDSTARS, TO RANGERS, TO EDGES - ALL MODELS YEARS, ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD HAS NOT BOTHERED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS!..3-DAYS AGO, I TOOK MY 2013 FORD TAURUS TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN LANCASTER, SC FOR A SAFETY RECALL TO FIX DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCHES, AND A SEPARATE RECALL CHECK ON LIGHTS ON THE LICENSE PLATE FOR POSSIBLE MOISTURE LEAKAGE. SO, I GOT A SAFETY RECALL ON POSSIBLY FAILED SEAL ON LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS, BUT NO RECALL ON AN ISSUE WITH THE LIGHTS ON IN THE VEHICLE CAB WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT??? IT MAKES ONE WONDER WHO MAKE THESE DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IS IT DONE SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF WHAT IS CHEAP AND EXPEDITIOUS? IF THE FIX IS CHEAP, RECALL IT AND IF THE FIX IS A BIT MORE COSTLY, DO NOTHING AND LET THE MANUFACTURER MAKE MONEY OFF THE FIX. HOW CAN DRIVERS BE PROTECTED? HOW CAN CONSUMERS BE PROTECTED? I HOPE YOU CAN HELP. THANK YOU. [XXX].UPDATED 10/27/15 *BF 'INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *BF

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH FAULTY, WAS SHOWING DOOR AJAR WHEN CLOSED WHICH PREVENTED DOORS FROM LOCKING AND KEPT INTERIOR LIGHTS ON NOT SURE IF AIRBAG WOULD ARM OR NOT. WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND TOOK TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD IT JUST NEEDED TO BE RESET. DEALER DID NOT DOCUMENT THE REPAIR AND WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $600 TO REPLACE THE LATCH. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.
THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE DOORS TO NOT LOCK DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. ) THE SENSOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND THEREFORE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON (EVEN AT NIGHT). THIS ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING OVERNIGHT

VEHICLE LOST POWER PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC (SO GLAD I DIDNT GET HIT), WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE YELLOW WRENCH APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ONLY WAY TO CORRECT PROBLEM WAS TO RESTART ENGINE (THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES TRYING TO GET HOME). THE THIRD TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CODES AND HAD A P2111 AND A P2112. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE IT LOOKS REALLY COMMON WHY WOULD THEY NOT RECALL IT LIKE THE FORD FUSION?
6/4/2015 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 70 MPH AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT JOLT, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK. I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING. THE CAR WOULD IDLE VERY ROUGH. AFTER I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. S…

6/4/2015 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 70 MPH AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT JOLT, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK. I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING. THE CAR WOULD IDLE VERY ROUGH. AFTER I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT COULD JUST BE BAD GAS. THEY SAID UNLESS ANOTHER LIGHT COMES ON OTHER THAN THE WRENCH THERE WOULD BE NOTHING THEY CAN DO IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS WOULD PERIODICALLY HAPPEN EVERY OTHER DAY UNTIL THIS WEEKEND IT HAPPENED TO ME 14 TIMES JUST THIS WEEKEND... 3 OF THESE TIMES WERE THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL AND NO ACCELERATOR AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND THERE WAS AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME WHO JACKKNIFED AROUND MY CAR SINCE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER ON. THIS IS A VERY VERY BIG PROBLEM! TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THEY CAN'T GET ME IN FOR 4 DAYS. THEY SAID REGARDLESS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALLS. I'M FINDING THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY FORD EDGES...

1PE16012 · Door Ajar Warning Light Always On
Opened Sep 28, 2016 · Closed Mar 20, 2017
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Interior Lighting; Latches/locks/linkages; Latches/locks/linkages:doors:latch
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.
