LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR. DRIVERS DOOR IS AJAR. LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF BECAUSE THE SENSORS SAY THE DOORS ARE OPEN. I BELIEVE THEY ARE SHUT. THIS HAS KILLED MY BATTERY. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY CAUSING STRESS NOT KNOWING IF MY CAR IS GOING TO START IN THE MORNING

NHTSA ODI 11115711

DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS FAILING. DOOR AJAR MESSAGE STAYS ON WITH DOOR CLOSED (DRIVER'S) MAKING DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT WITH CONSTANT WARNING BEEPS AND DOME LIGHT ON (EVEN AT NIGHT). I HAVE TO OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES VERY HARD FOR IT TO GO AWAY. MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, AND APPARENTLY IT PROGRESSIVELY GETS WORSE UNTIL THEY HAVE CONSTANT BEEPING WARNING, DOME LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, DOORS THAT WON'T LOCK WHILE DRIVING AND THE CONSTANT RISK OF A DEAD BATTERY AFTER RETURNING TO THEIR PARKED VEHICLE. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY DUE TO THE DOME LIGHT STAYING ON AFTER PARKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND DESERVES A RECALL. THE CURRENT FIX APPARENTLY REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENTIRE LATCH FOR AROUND $400, EVERY TWO YEARS ON AVERAGE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AJAR IS CONSTANTLY ON. I HAVE OPENED AND SHUT THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVEN TRIED TO DO WHAT SOME YOUTUBE VIDEOS HAVE SHOWN. DOME LIGHT SOMETIMES STAYS ON AFTER I PARK, SOMETIMES GOES OFF. I WILL HAVE A DEAD BATTERY AND PROBABLY ADDITIONAL COSTS UNLESS I WANT TO PAY $400+ TO FORD TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

NHTSA ODI 11098368

THE DRIVER DOOR AND REAR DRIVER DOOR "DOOR AJAR" NOTIFICATION'S DO NOT TURN OFF, EVEN WHEN THE DOORS ARE CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY, AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START LATER. THIS ALSO PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND CAN NOT SEEM TO BE RESOLVED, EVEN AFTER A MECHANIC CLEANED AND LUBRICATED THE DOOR LATCHES.

THERE HAS BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED FOR A 'DOOR AJAR' WARNING WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH. THIS DOES NOT GO OUT WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.

THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURS AFTER 50K MILES, LEAVING THE OWNER TO PAY FOR A COMMON AND EXPENSIVE PART FAILURE. I

AFTER RESEARCHING FORD EDGE RESEARCH THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME THING OCCUR TO THEM. MY CAR WILL START AND BE DRIVING THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LITERALLY LOOSES ALL POWER AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AND IT APPEARS THAT FORD DOESN'T WANT TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE IN DANGER, THERE IS NO WARNING OF WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AND THEN YOU STUCK SITTING ON THE ROAD WHILE IN DRIVE AS YOUR CAR LOST POWER.

INTERIOR LIGHTING AND REVIEW MIRRORS LIGHTING. THIS VEHICLE LIGHTING STAYS ON FOR AND EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED AND REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE LNTERIOR LIGHTS WILL BE ON WHEN PARKED OR IN A STATIONARY POSITION.

NHTSA ODI 11062974

CAR HAS BEEN HAVING ELECTRIC ISSUES FOR A WHILE. USUALLY DETECTED ONCE TRYING TO START. FIRST ISSUE IS THE BACK UP CAMERA. THAT NO LONGER WORKS WHILE IN REVERSE. SCREEN INDICATED IT IS NOT AVAILABLE. WE ALSO RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE SHIFTING COLUMN. AFTER A TRIP OF DRIVING COMING TO A FULL STOP SHIFTING TO PARK THE CAR WOULD NOT STAY ON "PARK". IT WOULD NOT CATCH THE GEAR UNLESS THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFT COLUMN WAS TOYED WITH A FEW TIMES PRESSING ON THE BUTTON SO CAR RECOGNIZES "PARK". IT WOULD SEARCH FOR "PARK" WHEN CAR WAS OFF WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE BATTERY TO EVENTUALLY DIE. WE FIRST PURCHASED A BATTERY THINKING IT'S TIME TO REPLACE BUT ONCE WE DID, IT KILLED OUR BATTERY AGAIN AND THEN IS WHEN I KNEW I HAD TO TAKE IT INTO FORD. $700+ TO FIX ISSUE CURRENTLY NOT RECALLED. THIS ALSO FORCED US TO BUY JUMP STARTING CABLES BEFORE IT WAS TAKEN IN. CAR LEFT US STRANDED A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. DEAD BATTERY:( THIRD ELECTRIC ISSUE IS THAT THE BLUETOOTH SYSTEM DOESN'T ALWAYS CATCH A DEVICE. OFTEN THE SYNC SCREEN ON THE DISPLAY WILL PULL UP WITH A LOADING BAR. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN STARTING CAR AT TIMES WHILE IN PART.

THE WARNING 'DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR' IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE WARNING IS DISPLAYED ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED AND WILL REMAIN ON WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS STARTED, THE WARNING MAY OR MAY NOT DISPLAY BUT IT DOES NOT CHANGE WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT THE WARNING IS DISPLAYED ABOUT 1/2 OF THE TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. IF THE WARNING IS DISPLAYED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME AND THE DOORS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, THE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED BY PRESSING THE RIGHT MOST TWO BUTTONS OF THE DOOR COMBINATION LOCK PANEL AND THE LIGHTS UNDER THE MIRRORS REMAIN LIT FOR AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE IMPACTED BY TEMPERATURE.
