This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vehicle has warning light for door ajar even though door is closed. Doors will not lock, and dome lights will not go off. Stop car and close door several times to go off. This has happened while driving, door locks open on their own, warning light dings, etc. And door is closed. This is S known hazard and should be recalled to repair latch before someone is seriously injured.
Driver's side door light stays on even when door is properly latched. The light will go away after opening and closing several times, but the light has also come on while the vehicle is in drive, going down the highway, and it refuses to lock as a result. Malfunction was reported to the dealership, but they didn't fix the car. They believed we'd either need a new door latch or to restart the car's electronic system.
When driver side door is shut, the inside lights stay on and the door ajar warning light stays on. Door does not lock and door chime continues making it unknown if door is truly shut and secured when driving down the road. While driving the door ajar light has come on, cabin light turns on causing dangerous situation at night.
Fuel level drops dramatically, the fuel indicator will drop up to 20 miles per every mile of actual mileage. Gas seems to be leaking and odometers will skip numbers.
Driver's side "door ajar" warning light along with associated alarms ("shift into park") goes off when closing the door. This warning also keeps the interior lights on, thus potentially draining the battery. Backing up in the dark is impossible because the interior lights are so bright, nothing can be seen outside. My temporary solution has been to disconnect the battery when I'm parked for a prolonged period of time. My concerns are; will this be happening to all 6 door sensors, how long will these faulty sensors last, will they find a redesign for this sensor that lasts longer than 34K miles and what if the door really isn't closed? Ford Motor Company has already recalled this sensor/module on other models (Focus, etc) of this year. Because there aren't as many Edges on the road isn't a good reason to not want to make the correction for all models involved.
Door ajar warning light will not go off when drivers door is completely shut. This causes dome lights to stay on until car is moving causing a visibility problem. Doors will not lock even when locked manually doors will unlock by itself while car is in motion causing a child in back seat to open a door while the car is moving and possibly falling from car.
Both front left and rear left door sensors show that the doors are open although its fully closed. Therefore the cabin lights stay on and the doors cannot be locked. My 2.5 year old daughter opened the door while I was driving although the doors were supposed to locked.
My truck displays "shift to park" when in park and the indicator is not illuminated whether the engine is off or on. I had to replace a battery due to this problem. Even though the car is off the electronics stay on drawing power because it's not sensing the vehicle is in park. This problem is widely known and Ford has a tsb for the shifter but no recall. I've had nothing but problems with this vehicle and will not purchase another Ford again.
I have an issue with a sensor on the vehicle. I have a "door ajar" light on when the door is closed. It is on the driver door and no others. I know this is a common issue with Ford SUVS and just want my vehicle down for documentation. If any further information is needed by me please email or call me.
Rear drivers side door ajar light coming on when door closed comes on while driving, causing alarm and all interior lights to come on. Stays on even when door is closed and latched. Dealer says door latch must be replaced, even though door is properly latching.
Driver door latch; door won't lock or stay locked intermittently; door ajar light comes on when the door is closed. When the intermittent problem occurs, the doors unlock, the dome light comes on, which makes it difficult to see while driving at night or early morning. The battery is draining-the door ajar light causes the interior lights to come on when the vehicle is parked. It will not lock from outside the vehicle intermittently. This started earlier this month an is becoming more frequent. This needs to be addressed now! from my research, this is a long standing issue with Ford products.
The driver's side door ajar warning appears even when the driver's door is completely closed. Resulting in multiple errors within the sync system and the inability to turn off the cabin lights. This problem can occur while stationary or in motion.
When the door is shut, vehicle continues to state the door is ajar. This causes the interior lights to stay on. When the lights are on, it is not possible to see out of your rear view mirror. Because of this, when you back up, you cannot see anything behind you.
My driver door no longer registers as 'closed' when it is in fact closed. This problem has progressively worsened for a couple months. The problem with the door not registering as latched and closed means that you are unable to lock the door while the car is running. Every time you attempt to lock it automatically unlocks it. At this point I have removed all interior lights (that stay on) so I can operate the vehicle safely at night until I have time to get this fixed. I'm just six months past the normal 3yr/36K miles warranty period and Ford dealership is quoting a repair charge of nearly $500 to fix this issue. I understand this is a common issue and has been part of a large recall for other Ford vehicles, but not at this time for the Edge. It's a real nuisance. I'm concerned about not being able to lock the doors while operating the vehicle.
