While driving in the city my hazard lights came on automatically and I could not turn them off. This also made my blinkers incapable of being used, a clear safety issue and law offense. My hazard lights continued to turn on and off automatically leaving me with a drained battery. I have researched the recalls and it seems this can be a fire hazard but my car was not on this recall list.
2011 Ford Edge lights complaints
Page 2 of 8: complaints 11 to 40 of 195, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The interior lights are staying on when the ignition is turned off and the car is park position due to a faulty door switch, and this is happening when the door indicator on my instrument panel is showing the door is ajar when it is actually closed, thus creating a safety issue when the car is in motion due to same fault showing up. This is also killing the battery if not noticed in time.
Just purchased a 2011 ford edge sel.. The first night I drove at night the halogen headlamps wore very dim. Very low light on either hi or low beam. Replaced with new bulbs. Same thing, headlamps are not bright. Researched on internet. Lot of other people also had this problem. Sounds to me ford motor company very bad lighting system. Can not believe ford did not have a recall on their lighting system and no one was killed yet do to their defect on the bad lighting with their headlamps with the halogen bulbs! I think they should replace these lamps and recall before someone dies. No accident yet. This is only a complaint before something does happen.
This is a follow up complaint as advised by mary at ford motor company. Ford did issue customer satisfaction program 19n09 refund for the driver side latch, however I had to replace the passenger side latch as well so would like a refund on both latches. Door ajar lights stay on which causes automatic door locks to fail, dome lights to remain on while driving as well as when vehicle is parked and turned off. When driving this causes a safety hazard because anyone can enter the car at a stop sign or light and cause harm to vehicle occupants. Additionally, dome lights stuck on while driving also poses a safety hazard. When vehicle is off and dome lights stay on, this drains the battery as well as fuses. We have had to replace the vehicle battery as well as fuses. We recently had to pay $1144.40 to have the door latches replaced and were told this is a known issue with ford. I reached out to ford customer service and was told they have not issued a recall for this problem. Date and mileage may not be accurate as this issue has been happening for many years, however we finally had no choice but to replace the door latches when my husband's wheelchair was stuck in the back because the fuse had blown and the back hatch door would not open.
Door adjar sensor is faulty. Dome lights stay on while driving even though car door is shut. Sensor thinks car door is open.
While driving at 35 MPH, my emergency hazards came on by themselves. Will not turn off by touching hazard button, or pulling battery terminal. Took to a mechanic who said my body contol module is faulty, and wont read any codes. Need to take to dealership for faulty bcm.
The headlights are worthless. My ford dealer adjusted them, my ford body shop adjusted them, I adjusted them, and you still cant see to drive at night. They are not any good. Why have you allowed this to go on? I wrote to you when I first got the car and got nothing. What the hell ? No side to side adjustment is even provided for in the design, but more than that they don't provide enough light to light up the road. Iv'e put in new bulbs $50.00 each, I've put in a whole new factory headlight $300.00 and still can't see the road. Came home from kansas city last night 70 miles, 35 miles of witch was on interstate 49 and at times we has to guess where the road was. The car is a 2011 where have you been on this? I haven't talked to anyone who owns one of these who isn't fighting the same problem. We try not to drive the dam thing at night, but sometimes we get caught and have to. Are you waiting for us to get killed and we will quit bothering you? Do your dam job, make ford fix this problem! What are you doing about this???
The driver door ajar light remains on even when the door is closed. This keeps the dome lights on which is hazardous to drive with in the evening. I understand this is an ongoing problem for ford but they have done nothing to fix it.

Door ajar light stays on when door is closed, light will turn on minutes or hours after locked overnight and is draining battery. Light on while driving at night is very distracting and interferes with night vision. Cant lock doors when driving so door could open in a crash.issue continues
1.drivers door ajar light warning stays on. 2. Head lights. The door ajar light and dome light stays on have too repeatedly slam the door for light to go off. Also headlights goes out at night sometime the right light goes out or the left some times 4th they both will go out have to switch the knob back to off position and then turn back on to get the headlights back on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. The contact stated that the headlights were very dim. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 120,107.
The driver's door light ajar sensor stays on even after the door is shut and keeps the interior dome light on. This has been happening on and on again off again basis for years. Recently it is happening all the time. When we get in and start the car no matter how many times the door is opened and shut the notice stays on. This will then continue as long as the car is in reverse and makes backing up at night very hard as you can't see with the interior lights on. When backing from the driveway into the street you cannot see if there is traffic. When the car is put in drive the dome light will finally go out after a short period of time. If we park the car and lock it the dome light will stay on for 5 or more minutes as it registers as the front door being ajar. Neighbors have stopped at our home to tell us we left our interior lights on.
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.
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.
The headlights have no horizontal, only vertical adjustment allowed and can not be adjusted so as to light the road full width which, causes parked cars and such to be overlooked and possibly struck. I have had several close calls because of this problem when driving after dark. This is a major safety risk and should not be ignored. Ford motor co. Must be made to correct this problem.
Driver door ajar light continuously lit.the door is closed but the dome lights remain on.
Driver door ajar, passenger door ajar. These alerts come up when my doors are closed. The interior light stays on for ever and I cannot lock my doors! This is not acceptable. I have read hundreds and hundreds of complaints about this exact problem. Also, the interior lights just come on randomly when car is parked with no key in ignition. And, the backup camera, when it works, is upside down!! These problems should be recalled, as I see so many others complaining about the exact same issues.
The door ajar light stays on despite all doors being closed. This in turn prohibits the doors to lock on the vehicle (while driving and parked).the dome light will turn on intermittently, this includes during night time driving and when parked - both creating major safety issues. Battery drainage - being left with an inoperable vehicle. Visibility - severe glare and limited visibility while driving in darkness. Personal safety - doors not looking creates a threat to personal safety (there is a reason car doors lock automatically within a few minutes of takeoff - personal safety). In addition to this, the backup camera went out at 50000miles. So disappointed!
Door ajar light won't shut off. I'm blinded at night when I need to move the car since the lights are on. My battery is drained due to the lights remaining on. I use my vehicle at night so this has me very worried to be stranded. My doors don't lock. For needs to recall. Thank you.
Door ajar issue. Already killed one battery. Also is a safety issue. I've had to drive several times when it's dark out and the lights inside the vehicle will not shut off. Not going to pay almost 500 dollars to have this fixed when I hear of tons of people fixing it, for the issue to come right back with a new part.
Door open signal stays on and doesn't allow interior to turn off. Alarm will go off every 2 hours. Door ajar signal remains on regardless of car is moving or off in park. Interior light stays on after car is off.
The door ajar light is constantly on causing the interior lights to stay on after you get out of car and while you are driving. Also the car locks will not lock while driving the car and you can't leave the key in the ignition while parked but staying in the car. A bell will just keep ringing until you remove the key.
The passenger door ajar light comes on even after the door is closed, and the even if the car is turned off and the doors locked it will act like the door comes open and set the alarm off and or turn the interior lights on causing the battery to die. It happens continuously everyday.
Faulty door ajar switch - replaced door ajar switch in driver door at 39,500 and again 91,000 miles. Rear driver side door has produced the same issue and is now consistent for 1 month.
Door ajar warning light stays on when the door is closed. This causes to interior dome light to stay on when driving down the road. This is a safety issue. Driving after dark with the dome light staying on interferes with the drivers ability to see out and decreases the driver's vision of the road ahead.
Passenger door ajar warning when door appears to be closed tightly. Automatic locks will not engage while in drive because warning light indicates passenger door is ajar. Additionally, interior lights remain on when in drive due to passenger door ajar warning which presents a significant hazard when driving at night. Problem has gotten progressively worse with time. Battery car had to be replaced because interior lights would remain on all night. Opening and re-shutting door is inconsistent fix. Wd-40 not effective. Not using passenger door once warning light turns off is the only sure way to keep door closed. Passenger door ajar warning light remains on when car is in motion or stopped whenever key is in ignition. When car is off and key is out, interior lights remain on indefinitely, car is only able to be locked when car is off and key is out of ignition.
Door ajar on front passenger door and interior lights and exterior lights staying on and not being able to automatic locking mechanism after you start driving or being able to lock the car when you park said vehicle. Was told by dealer ford is notorious for the ford 2011 edge 3.5l v6 electrical-switch & relay door open warning relay was major problem with this vehicle . And it will keep the computer open and will drain the battery quickly causing the vehicle to die on the roadside after over 1500 complaint to ford company they stated not enough complaint .....this is a safety issue if you have children they can open a unlocked door what more proof do you need ford not to recall this issue and fix it !!
