2011 Ford Edge electrical complaints

The "door ajar" indicator continues to be an ongoing problem. I have had it looked at numerous times at the dealer, and they've only "cleaned" the sensor, and let me know it's not a recall item. This is a definite safety concern in that the interior light stays on constantly, and make it very unsafe to drive or have good visibility when backing up. Numerous times I have been in a parking lot at night, the interior light is on (due to the door ajar false indicator) and you can barely see out the windows. I continue backing out of a parking spot and realize there is a pedestrian I just couldn't see due to the interior light staying on. I have also had close calls with pedestrians on a sidewalk/walking by as I am backing out of my driveway at night. The light also continues to stay on even after I've backed up and have now put the car in gear and am moving forward (driving). It seems to go out at about 10-15 MPH. But even at that speed with an interior light on, and it is not safe. I can't believe it hasn't been recalled yet. There's no way ford can claim this is not a safety issue. I have also googled this issue and in addition to this the federal safety agency website, there are so many complaint sites and blogs about this same issue. It needs to be investigated and looked into further for a recall. Not acceptable, ford!!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. The contact stated that the door ajar and lift gate warning indicators illuminated when the vehicle was started. The contact stated that the doors were not open when the indicators illuminated. The contact also stated that the backup camera did not work. Additionally, when the gear was in reverse, a noise was heard from the front end of the vehicle, which caused the vehicle to stop before moving again. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the body control module needed to be replaced and advised the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer. The vehicle was taken to purvis ford lincoln (540‑898‑3000, located at 3660 jefferson davis hwy, fredericksburg, va 22408) where the contact was informed that there was no recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. The vehicle was repaired by owner. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000. *tr
First of all the first problem I encountered with my vehicle was the passenger wheel barring was defected and started making a bad noise so took it to the shop and the mechanic said lucky I did because is was about to break and cause my wheel to come off going down the road. After that I noticed that my engine would run hot if I sat still in the parking lot just running even with the AC off. I had no warning that anything was wrong. I turned my car off and it didn't seem to do it anymore until we started getting this really hot weather this may, me and my family was going in to town to grab a bite to eat when (without any warning) my car starts sputtering as if I put bad gas in it. My husband instructed me to pull over and take a look and low and behold my car has been running hot just after driving only 10 minutes. He pulled the dipstick and oil is milky and oil was all in the water resivour. My car had over heated without any warning that anything was wrong and blown heat gasket and cracked heads. My engine shot. We took it to the shop where I had to purchase a new engine and after the mechanic ran a diagnostics test on my car he said that the fan control module was faulty which did not allow my cooling fans to come on at all and my system never alerted me either. We replaced cooling fans along with module. Everything seems fine after 2,000 dollars later. Fyi never rely on your information screen to tell you if your running hot, go to settings and keep your screen on the temp gauge at all times so you will know for yourself how cool your engine is running. I would be nice after all the complaints ford has received about these piece of crap cooling fans that they will just suck it up and do the recall. We are hard working americans and dont deserve this crap. We support ford an american car manufacturer and expect the same respect!!
Door ajar warning always on even when doors are closed. Dome lights remain on and unable to lock or secure the vehicle. Drains battery leaving me stranded. It remains on when the car is on, off, moving, not moving, with or without occupants.
Display screen is black. No radio, sync, climate controls etc. Was told by the local dealer that the a-pim module needed to be replaced. Very expensive. Why did this happen?
Hazard warning touch button quit working -- touch the button and it doesnt work part is integrated into the sony touch control panel/ screen water pump failure without warning -- destroyed the engine -- started as sporadic overheating that thermostat was replaced aliviated it for a short time then it started over back to the garage -- couldnt find anything -- suggested turn engine off then back on to see if temp sensor was the issue -- stopped again for a while then it happened again -- also cam sensor failure when this occured -- took to garage temp sensor cam sensors and thermostat replaced -- system flushed -- garage started it up -- overheating again -- now engines seized
Back up camera stopped working. Message appears saying " camera unavailable please contact dealer" when placed in reverse.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. When the vehicle was started, the door ajar warning indicator illuminated. The contact mentioned that all the doors were completely shut; however, the warning indicator continued to remain illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
Door ajar warning light appears on the dash even when the door is closed. There is no way to clear the alert/alarm and it becomes very hazardous when driving while it is still dark and the dome lights are on signaling the door is open. This warning will come on at any time- while stationary in my driveway, while driving, etc. There is no specific time it happens.
Door ajar light stays on, door lock not working driver side
The auto door locks will not work properly. Many times the doors will not lock automatically and the driver door ajar light will come on. The inside lights stay on. This should be a safety concern due to the fact that none of the doors will lock and stay locked with children in the back seat.
Continuous failure of collision warning system that eliminates the use of cruise control. Warning has to be acknowledged and shut off via ok in controls. This occurs at start up.
Notification of door ajar after entering car on driver side. Alert happens 80 % of the time when entering the car from the driver side.
2011 ford edge. The rear drivers side door sets off the open door sensor even when the door is fully closed. The interior lights will stay on and will only shut off if you close the door about 20 times every time you get into the car.
Bracke light, and ABS light comes on. We think its the control module and internal electronic failure. Back up camera has not worked in a very long time. I am told its very expensive. Another lady who was at the same mechanic had the same problem. Im disturbed and not happy with eclectronic failure. I dont think its normal. Can you do anything to resolve this problem?
The on screen door ajar warning shows door open when non exists. This keeps the dome lights from shutting off and can interfear with unlocking or opening other doors with the remote. Sometimes the dome light dome light stays on leaving my battery dead and me stranded.
Car continuously says that it needs to be shifted into park even though it is already in park.
About 2 months ago my front passenger door ajar light started to come on when the door was clearly closed. It since increasingly gotten worse to the point where it always comes on any time the door is opened, and sometimes while driving. It is a safety hazard at night while trying to drive as the dome light will not turn off, as well as the doors will not lock, & it continues to drain my brand new battery that was just installed.
I was driving home from work at approximately 40 MPH when an orange wrench popped on my screen and with no warning my car started jerking and sputtering and then quit working and completely decelerated like I had switched my car in neutral. I pressed the gas and nothing happened when I was in the middle of an intersection! I was able to get my car out of the roadway using some of my momentum but I was lucky I was not on an interstate or somewhere else. I was told my throttle body needs replacing. I looked into this issues with the 2011 edge and apparently there was a notice put out on this throttle body in other vehicles for causing the same problem and leading to very dangerous situations, however mine wasn't included even though I had the exact same problem. I take great care of my car - oil changes every 5,000 miles and special maintenance when necessary and it doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it.
I was driving and suddenly the electrical system just shut off. And the panel said check manual. I was driving up a ramp in a parking lot.
Takata recall the door ajar message displays on my 2011 ford edge vehicle constantly and the door is shut. The lights stay illuminated because of the door ajar sensor not working properly. Also I can not lock my doors when I am inside the vehicle when the engine is on which is unsafe in my opinion. I have seen that many people have stated this has happened to their ford as well, but a recall has not been issued.
I first noticed this problem when I turned on the vehicle in my garage and the passenger door ajar indicator came on as well as all of the interior lights. Even thought the door looked to be securely closed, I opened and closed the door again to be sure. The passenger door ajar indicator and all the interior lights stayed on, which made seeing at night while driving very difficult and dangerous. Additionally, I was unable to lock the doors of the car because of this problem. The technician at the shop said it was a faulty actuator and that many ford edge's have had this problem.
Soon after starting my car and putting it in reverse, the passenger door ajar indicator came on as well as all the interior lights. The passenger door looked securely closed, but I tried closing it again to be sure. The passenger door ajar indicator stayed on as well as the interior lights, which made it difficult to see at night. Since then it has stayed on every time I drive the car. Additionally, I am not able to lock the car doors when it is in motion because of this problem. I took it to the shop and they said the actuator was faulty. Apparently this is a wide-spread problem with the ford edge.
Drivers door ajar switch does not recognize that the door is closed.
Tire pressure and door sensors failure.
Driver door ajar light continuously lit.the door is closed but the dome lights remain on.
Constant door ajar on passenger side doors. Use to be one now or is both. Causes safety issues because the rear passenger can't be locked as I have a child t by at sits there. Lights go on internally while driving at night which causes difficulty driving at night. Lights constantly go on snd off throughout the day and night causing drained battery, and constant jumps starts.
Door sensor states door is open, when door is closed. Interior lights remain on and doors remain unlocked. Can have issues with doors unlocking when parked, leaving a issue for being robbed, also lights can remain on which will drain the battery. Lights will also stay on while driving which is an issue at night.
Sync radio goes in and out and the screen goes completely dark for awhile, sometimes last hours and sometimes lasting days. Dealer claims the radio is updating itself. During this period the backup cameras don't work along other functions connected to the screen. This happens when the vehicle is moving as welling as stationary times.
