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.

At a speed of about 60 mph I engaged the cruise control. About 10 seconds later car went into limp mode. Had to acceleration. Was able to pull off to side of road and then vehicle stalled. Put car in park waiting a few seconds and was able to start car again and continue driving with no further problems. This same problem occurred about a month earlier. That event was the same except it happened just after backing out of the driveway and starting up the road at a speed of about 5mph. Was able to restart and continue trip without any problems. Researched the problem and read comments from other people stating the same problem. Never happened before these two incidents

Driving on us highway 27, 65 mph at night. Car just stopped dead on the road, no warning, plenty of gas. I could have been killed! had it towed to Ford dealer was told it was the fuel pump. I searched the internet and found for my year, make and model a recall for the fuel pump. But, according to my VIN my vehicle isn't covered. How is this possible since its the same problem on the same vehicles?

There is a partial recall on these model Ford Edge's. where the brake booster and brake master cylinder are defective and cause the brakes to fill with air and lose partial and sometimes total loss of braking power. This happened to my 2012 Ford Edge sport. I bought new factory parts and had them installed by a professional. They went out again. It had to do with he factory of the parts. Please place a mass recall on this part. My wife and kids shouldn't get into a wreck due to brakes going out again. They already have totally gone out twice. The 2nd time my wife with daughter and my son in the car couldnt slow down in time and got into a fender bender. It wasn't serious. This time. Thank you. Also, another problem that has been noted by thousands of Ford Edge owners is the style of fuel door. It doesn't seal properly which in return causes a check engine light to appear on the instrument cluster. Please investigate this issue as sell. Thank you.

Takata recall I purchased my 2012 Ford Edge sel April 22, 2019. Today, May 31st 2019 on my way horne from work the vehicle lost steering and power. I had just passed a semi-truck on a small farm town black top road and came up on a stop sign. In the process of turning to the left from the stop the incident occurred. Luckily I was able to make it out of the road. After several attempts to restart the vehicle I had to find an alternate way home. *when starting the vehicle the engine did run however it sounded as it was "starved" or "mis-firing", there was heavy white smoke dispersing from the exhaust and when I would attempt to put it in drive it would die. The oil level is fine, the antifreeze is fine, it is not overheating and there were no signs or symptoms of an issue. This was completely unexpected and occurred with no warning. The vehicle is currently parked where it died; a half hour away from my home. I am thankful my 15 year old daughter was not driving when this happened and even more thankful that this sporadic activity did not result in a fatal or crippling crash with another individual. As I research the causes it appears this issue is not isolated and has been occurring since 2008. I pray it is investigated and notice is shared before the potentials become a reality. Please be proactive vs reactive and assure this issue is addressed for the people.

When the fuel tank is filled, the odor of gasoline is very strong inside the vehicle to the point that it is extremely dangerous. The car must be vented to be able to breathe. Causing headaches and fear of any ignition of the fumes. It has been happening for the last four times I have filled my tank. There is a recall on this issue for other 2012 Edge's but mine is not listed and it should be. This is very dangerous. I could be killed.

I was having an engine light come on intermittently sometimes even just after my vehicle had been in for warranty work. It would sometimes even make a stalling engine sound when I filled the tank with gas. With the light on one of these occasions I took it to autozone and was told that two of the 02 sensors were bad. The next day I took the vehicle I'm to find out that a cannister purge valve had gone bad and needed to be replaced. A week later I get a recall on my 2nd vehicle, a Ford Focus 2014 for the cpv.

Issues with fuel neck filler. Code P0456. After filling up unleaded gas in the capless gas tank, the vehicle stalls upon starting ignition. This is now a consistent problem with the vehicle. Air may be filling up in the gas tank. In 2014, 2012-13 Ford Edges were recalled for fuel leaks. However, this vehicle does not fall under that recall, even though it was manufactured during the same years.

I started my 2012 Edge and heard the starter take longer to turn over and start the car. Within moments the check engine icon appeared. I took my Edge in to auto hobby shop located on a military installation. The service representative used his code reader machine to view code P0456. Which he said it indicated a minor fuel leak. He performed a smoke check said he noticed smoke leaking. I called my local Ford dealership to check if there were any fuel system recalls. They said there was, but not for my VIN. Of the 3 recalls out for a 20012 Edge, I only recieved one. Are recalls only for specific years/models/VIN's" how can I get my issue repaired? could my VIN be added to the recall if I had a relating issue"

Today our 2012 Edge lost all power as we accelerated from a stop sign onto a main road feeding our neighborhood. The speed limit was 25 miles /hour so we weren't accelerating quickly. We hadn't even completed the turn when all power was lost and we coasted to a stop at the side of the road. Having heard of other failings like this we shut off the car and after a couple seconds restarted the car. The car ran the rest of planned trip around town with no further troubles. If we had been on a busy highway with limited safe areas to pull over, or in the fast lane on the freeway we could have been in serious trouble.

Driving down busy street I went around a bend and my Edge lost power. Everything shot down and the low oil pressure light was on. Several vehicles almost hit me as they were coming around the bend and I had no power to move. I turned on my hazards and called my husband. After about 10 minutes I was able to start my car. We were on vacation and stopped at a Ford dealership to have it looked at. They changed the oil and said it was fine. This happened again and I took it to another Ford dealership, they are 75% sure it is was a throttle body. Over $400 later I thought it was fixed. I made a turn the other day and it felt like my car was losing power but it did not stall. It was sluggish for about 1 minute then it was ok. I do not know what else to do.
