THE DRIVER DOOR ALMOST ALWAYS REPORTS THAT IT IS AJAR DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT IS CLOSED. IT WILL OCCASIONALLY STOP REPORTING THE PROBLEM IF I REPEATEDLY OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR. THIS PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON IN THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THE ALERT WILL ALSO CHIME EVERY TIME I START FROM A COMPLETE STOP WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING. *TR
WHILE DRIVING, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WARNING COMES UP ON THE DASH AND A BELL WILL RING SAYING THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR. SOMETIMES IT SAYS TO PUT CAR IN PARK. I OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR AND IT FIXES THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY, ONLY TO HAPPEN AGAIN. HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. *JS
DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINING AFTER DOORS ARE CLOSED. ON DASH MESSAGE BOARD SAYS TO PUT CAR IN PARK. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN PUT IN GEAR AUTOMATICALLY CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. *JS
AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR AND STARTING THE CAR, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. OPEN THE DOOR AND SHUT AGAIN, SOMETIMES IT GOES OF AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. IT WILL SAY TO SHIFT TO PARK BUT THE DOOR IS NOT OPEN. SOMETIMES IT WILL START TO DO IT WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP LIGHT TOO. *TR

THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND RIGHT REAR DOOR SENSORS INTERMITTENTLY HAVE A "DOOR AJAR" WARNING, THOUGH EACH DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT. THE SENSOR IS INSIDE THE LATCH, AND HAS A VERY HIGH FAILURE RATE, BASED ON CURSORY INTERNET RESEARCH. THE WARNING CAN OCCUR WHILE DRIVING, IT ALERTS THE DRIVER TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. FORD CATEGORIZES THE DOOR AJAR WARNING UNDER 'SAFETY' IN ITS EXTENDED WARRANTY PLANS, SO I WOULD CONCLUDE THAT NOT KNOWING WHETHER THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY AJAR OR NOT IS, IN FACT, A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ARRIVING HOME THE EVENING OF FEBRUARY 15, 2014 MY TWO SONS (BOTH ADULTS) SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING WHEN WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR AT OUR HOUSE. UPON INSPECTION, THEY NOTICED THE RUBBER COVER OVER THE POSITIVE POST ON THE BATTERY HAD MELTED SLIGHTLY. I CALLED THE NEAREST FORD DEALER MONDAY MORNING (2/17/14) TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE WRONG CIRCUIT BREAKER ASSEMBLY HAD BEEN INSTALLED ON THE BATTERY. AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE FUSE WAS BY-PASSED WITH THE USE OF A LARGE PAPER CLIP. TALK ABOUT RIGGING SOMETHING UP!!! THIS PAPER CLIP HAD GOTTEN SO HOT IT EVEN BURNED A HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE BATTERY ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER. I HAVE A PHOTO. THIS WAS ONLY DISCOVERED WHEN THE NEW CIRCUIT BREAKER ASSEMBLY WAS ABOUT TO BE INSTALLED. IT WAS ALL HIDDEN BY THE RUBBER COVER. WE DID NOT THINK TO INSPECT THIS UPON PURCHASE IN JULY, 2013. IT WAS A BRAND NEW CAR! THIS WAS A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN. FORTUNATELY IT DID NOT. BUT SOMEONE AT EITHER THE MANUFACTURER OR THE DEALERSHIP RIGGED THIS INSTEAD OF PUTTING THE PROPER PART ON IT. *TR

WE WERE RETURNING HOME VIA I55 AND I TURNED ON THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM. THREE TIMES IN THE SPACE OF AN HOUR, WITHOUT ANY VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US, THE VEHICLE BRAKE ITSELF. THERE WAS A TRACTOR AND TRAILER NEXT TO US AND CARS BEHIND US ON THE TWO LANE HIGHWAY. AFTER THE THIRD INCIDENT I TURNED OFF THE PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM BUT LEFT THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON. SOME TIME LATER WITH DIFFERENT VEHICLES, BUT THE SAME TYPES IN THE SAME RELATIVE POSITIONS, THE CAR BRAKE VIOLENTLY, THE WARNING LIGHTS IN THE WINDSHIELD WERE BLINKING AND A SIREN WAS SOUNDING AND THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF US AGAIN. THE ATTEMPTED STOP BY THE CAR WAS SO VIOLENT IT THREW US FORWARD. WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE AND IT HAS BEEN AT THE FORD DEALER WAITING FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND A PART THAT MAY FIX THE ISSUE. THE EDGE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE THE THE 27TH OF DECEMBER AND NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA AS TO WHEN THE "PART" MAY BE IN. WE TOOK POSSESSION OF THE CAR ON DECEMBER 20TH, 2014. I CONTACTED FORD ASKING FOR A BUY BACK AND AM WAITING TO HEAR. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER AND A FORD FIELD ENGINEER EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

Official recalls
214V393000 · Power Train:axle Assembly:axle Shaft
Jul 2, 2014
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles manufactured September 2, 2010, to November 30, 2013; 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS vehicles manufactured August 25, 2011, to November 30, 2013; and 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles manufactured September 12, 2011, to November 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed, and as a result, the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without prior warning.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the halfshaft and linkshaft become disengaged while driving, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'Park', increasing the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure that the halfshaft is properly retained. If it is not, dealers will replace the linkshaft and also replace the halfshaft if it shows evidence of spline damage, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S10.
14V002000 · Fuel System, Gasoline
Jan 6, 2014
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Edge vehicles manufactured from September 2, 2010, through April 25, 2013, and equipped with 2.0L engines. The fuel line pulse damper metal housing may crack as a result of an improper manufacturing process. A cracked fuel line pulse damper housing may result in a combination of fuel odor, weepage, or a continuous leak while the fuel system is pressurized.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel line with one that does not have a damper, free of charge. The safety recall began on February 25, 2014. Owners may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 13S13. IMPORTANT: This recall supersedes recall 12V-438. All vehicles that have been remedied under the previous recall need to have the current remedy applied.

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.
