2011 Ford Edge body complaints
Page 8 of 10: complaints 191 to 220 of 274, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Door ajar lights come on when door is properly closed causing a draw on the battery. Needs new door latch assembly from ford, not covered under warranty should be a recall.
The rear driver's side door has a bad sensor. It does not recognize the door as being closed unless the door is opened/closed numerous times, sometimes it will not ever recognize the closure.
Drivers side door will not latch. Door ajar light stays on and dome lights will not go off, even when car is locked.
The drivers side front door latch sensor is faulty, thus the door ajar light stays illuminated. As a result, doors won't lock and cab lights stay on. This is a safety concern because children in the back can open the door freely. Ford has identified the problem with a tsb 14-0083 although will not recalled. Ford serviced the vehicle and replaced the latch in 2013. Problem has returned and lafayette ford won't replace again.
Approximately the "door agar" warming light came on. No big deal, right? No, wrong, when this warning light comes on, there is no way to keep the doors locked while traveling in the car. This is very dangerous, kinda like not being able to wear a seat belt. So the first time this "door agar" light came on, the car was still under warranty and the local ford dealer happily replaced the switch assembly at no charge. Now the car is beyond warranty and the"door agar" light is back on and the fix is several hundred dollars in repairs. This is a big safety issue for ford edge owners. Please consider a recall.

After closing door, the dome lights and door ajar indicator on instrument cluster would illuminate. I would have to slam the door several times to get the dome light and door ajar light indicator light to extinguish. The problem is worse in colder weather.
The driver's side door sensor is not reading that the door is closed and remains on. This is the second time in a year that I am going to have the sensor replaced.
Door ajar light stays on with door shut. Dome light stays on so you are blinded at night. Cant lock doors so it is unsafe. Started doing it at 19000 miles. Ford would not fix it. Looks like thousands of people have the same problem.
Door ajar warning light comes on when door is fully shut, dome lights stays on and cannot lock car. I can open and shut it to turn off warning but then it pops on again.
Ford edge latch door ajar dome lights stay even when door is closed.
The driver door says it is ajar but its actually shut. And the key fob does not work to unlock the doors when you touch the sensor on the door handle.
Door ajar light stays on all the time even when door is closed all the way. Interior lights stay on. Now the back up camera says it unavailable or shows upside down.
The drivers side door is definitely closed. Car does not think so. Dash warning light is on. Dome lights on. When using the clicker to lock the doors the horn beeps a couple of times. Weird stuff. I do not know if this is going to cause safety problems or not. This edge also has back brake problems. The back rotors and brakes have been changed twice already due to corrosion. Bad design. They get really hot and must be slightly in the braking position then until changed. Winter in minnesota - salt and ford's better idea. One more thing: when we change the temperature settings the computer things we want air conditioning. This causes the windows to completely fog over under certain conditions. I have had numerous talks with ford motors about this safety problem. They do not get it and basically blow us off because of cost or lack of understanding. There are complaints filed.
The ajar light comes on indicating the door is not shut. We opened and closed the door numerous times but the door ajar light stays on. This also makes the interior dome light stay on. The most recent event occurred when we were traveling back home at night. The same circumstance happened. Opened and closed the door numerous times but the door ajar and dome light stayed on. It finally went off after 15 minutes of opening and closing the door. Took to the ford dealer and cost me $500 to have the door latch mechanism changed. I googled and found this is happening to alot of ford automobiles. In fact, the service advisor said that 2 more cases came in today as I picked up my car. Ford needs to pony up and do a recall and reimburse everyone for this high costs fix and design a better latching mechanism; "not military grade plastic".
Driver side door ajar warning stays on. Online research shows this is a very common problem, and should absolutely lead to a manufacturer recall.
Had a door ajar fault(driver door). Opened and closed door several times, would not go out. You can not lock the doors when this happens. This fault occurs each time we drive the vehicle.
Driver door sensor states door is ajar when it is not.
I have had several incidents with the driver door ajar sensor which cause the inteior light to renaib o while driving or parking. I have cleaned the sensor a few times but it seems to become an issue.

Door latch ajar switch light says passenger door is not close when it is close, interior light will not go off. And doors will not lock as long as it says door is ajar.
"passenger door ajar" indicator intermittently comes on and requires several hard door slams to remove it. Aside from being very annoying, this is a potential safety issue for the following reasons; 1. When the door ajar indicator is on, the doors will not automatically lock and cannot be locked manually, 2. The interior dome light comes on and cannot be turned off. This is especially hazardous at night. 3. I have been told the airbags will not deploy if the door ajar indicator is on. This issue has apparently been a problem for several years for ford and the problem has not been corrected. There are many posts and you tube videos addressing the problem. I plan to have the dealer replace the sensor, but I maintain that this is a safety issue and ford should fix the device.
The door sensor erroneously indicates door ajar. This prevents the door locks from actuating and allows children to accidentally open door when moving. Also the dome lights stay on at hours of darkness, impeding visibility.
The car lost power. When I turned it off and turned it back on, it started and ran fine. It happened again and I took it to the local ford dealership. The quick service technician said it sounded like the throttle body. It has happened a couple of other times sporadically. It happened 4 times this past saturday. I took it to the dealership and just found out it was the throttle body, which will be replaced for $622.59. My car is no longer under warranty and there are no recalls for this that the dealership can find. Though repair pal indicates there was a recall (https://repairpal.com/ford-edge-recall-10v659000) and the north carolina consumer council has filed a petition for an investigation into this matter. Please investigate this as it is extremely dangerous for your car to just completely shut down on you while you are driving. Fortunately, no one has been hurt any of the times this has happened to me. Had I been on the interstate, I am not sure I could say the same.
My door ajar light keeps coming on when my driver side door is clearly shut. Looked up multiple forums and found other people with the same problem. Why hasn't there been a recall? I shouldn't have to pay $400 for this fix!
The "door is ajar" (left rear) warning light is on even though the left rear door is properly closed and locked.
The "door is ajar" (left rear) warning light is on even though the left rear door is properly closed and locked.
Driver's rear door is giving the "rear door ajar" alert. The door is closed yet the alert stays on. It will cause the interior lights and the rear view mirror lights to stay on when the vehicle is turned off. I have been able to get it to go off by slamming the door, but this is getting to be a problem as well as it doesn't always go off and I have to turn the edge back on then click "ok" on the alert that shows on the dash.
"driver door ajar" light will not go out when door is tightly closed. This keeps doors from auto-locking while ignition is on. Happened first time in june 2012, at 41k miles,4 mos after I bought certified used car. Door latch was replaced by dealer under warranty. It has been happening again now at 85k miles, august 2014. Also dome lights will not go out. Battery ran down last nite, could not start car this morning even tho dome lights went out at some point. I was in north ga mtns where there is no cell reception. Fortunately there was still one car at the site who could jump the battery or I would have been stranded there. I am a retired 69 yr old woman; it is not safe for me to drive without doors locked or for the battery to die when there is no reason for that to happen. There are many many reports of this problem on ford edge internet sites. Why hasn't there been a recall by ford? Are they waiting for someone to get hurt/killed? When I go to the dealership tomorrow, I anticipate a $400 repair estimate. I hope there is a better result than that.
