CarComplaints.com Notes: A frustrating electrical issue is causing an ever-present “door ajar” warning light for 2011-2013 Ford Edge owners. Even with the doors latched shut, faulty sensors convince the vehicle’s computer they aren’t. With no way to override the system, owners have no choice but to stare at the warning light, listen to the warning chimes when the car is stopped, and deal with interior lights that won’t shut off.

I was driving on the highway with my 3 kids and my wife and as I got off the exit I noticed the car wasn't braking, so as I got to the first stop left I decided to turn left and see if I could fix the problem. As I was turning the shearing wheel locked up, brakes didn't brake then the car started to shake. I almost hit on coming traffic at 40 mil per hour. As soon as the car bypassed on coming traffic a had to restart my car and it was fine. As soon as I got home, it happened again. I was about 2ft from hitting my garage door.

The power steering does not work properly at low speeds. This is identfied in Ford's tsb 10-21-1 steering the vehicle is very difficult. I'm concerned that the ability to properly control the vehicle at low or high speeds may become a problem. This is a major safety concern. By issuing a tsb, I believe Ford is acknowledging that there is a potential safety problem with the power steering system - a major component of vehicle safety. The advancetrac (stability/anti-rollover system) appears to have failed indicated by the warning lights on the dash. Intermittently, the warning light turns on and then off while driving or parked with engine idling. Based on numerous occasions, I believe there is a fault in the stability system. Ford technicians cannot replicate the problem. Many other owners appear to be having the same issue with the Ford Edge and F-150 trucks among other Ford vehicles. The fuel system displays a warning that the fuel inlet requires checking due to a vapor leak. Ford replaced a traditional fuel cap assembly with a capless system which appears to not seal fully or allows debris to keep the system from remaining fully sealed. There appears to be many other owners who experience this same warning light with a malfunction indicator light illuminated that cannot be turned off. If fuel vapor is leaking, there is risk of vehicle fire or explosion.

Driving on I-65 in an area with 4-5 lanes of traffic with a speed zone of 65 mph when the vehicle lost power - wrench light warning light came on - had to maneuver the vehicle across 3 lanes of traffic during rush hour to reach the emergency lane. It was sheer luck that I made it to the emergency lane without being hit by another vehicle as I could not speed up the car and the speed was nearing zero mph. The vehicle had to be towed into the dealership where it was diagnosed and eventually repaired under warranty. It took the dealership approximately one week to repair the power train issue. Per my research on various Ford Edge sites, this is a very common occurrence and Ford has failed to recall this issue. Luckily, I was not harmed. However, not everyone will be this fortunate. Ford needs to recall this issue asap.
