Due to the door latch issue and my interior light staying on I am unable to see at night when driving. It has caused issues with my battery and I have had to replace it a few times. Why isn't Ford recalling this?
The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle or driving at various speeds, the door ajar warning light illuminated the rear passenger’s side door on multiple occasions. The contact stated that after closing the door, an audible alarm was heard, and the door ajar warning light remained illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the interior light remained illuminated after the vehicle was turned off, leading to the battery being drained. An independent mechanic went to the residence to replace the battery. The vehicle was then taken to a local dealer and the rear passenger’s side door latch was replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The door ajar alarm and warning light was illuminated for the rear passenger’s door and later caused the battery to drain again. An independent mechanic went to the residence and the battery was replaced. The vehicle was then taken back to the local dealer where the door latch was replaced again. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.
ON 9-28-2022 I was driving about 45 mph when suddenly my car lost power. The wrench symbol appeared on the dash. I floored the gas pedal, pressed it completely to the floor, and the car sputtered off the road and out of traffic. It was terrifying.
I have been having issues with the backup camera on this model. I replaced the camera and still having issues. A warning message is displayed and says contact dealer. I've recently noticed a recall on newer model fords and wonder why there wasn't a recall on the later models since there is the same issue with the newer models.
Traction control. Stabiltrak, and ABS system all randomly failed at 69,000 miles. They were intermittently going in and out for two days now come on every time. The car does not even have 100,000 miles. I have replaced the transmission and have countless electrical issues. The blend door actuators are all faulty. Known common issue that will cost a thousand to fix. Master brake cylinder has been replaced and still having faulty petal issues that is no longer covered. The panoramic roof does not work and it is a known issue almost every edge has. And now sever safety issues with the ABS system and traction control. There is no excuse for this poor manufacturing and no recalls to fix them. There were absolutely zero warning signs or check engine lights that came on prior to any of these systems happening. The transmission never through a code at all until after it locked up. The ABS system went out while driving down the road on a rainy day causing me to loose control and luckily I was able to get it into the ditch instead of into oncoming traffic. It put my life and my friends lives in danger. Ford should be sued for this and made to recall every single edge or other vehicle with these components. I have no fixed the issue yet because I wanted to submit this issue to the federal safety agency and have it available to be inspected if they wanted. This vehicle is extremely unsafe and has had issues non stop. The transmission went out also while driving on the highway and just locked up causing me to almost get hit from the rear. And the replacement transmission is already having issues again with less than 15,000 miles on it. This
I was told once that body control module wàs bad then I call to get it replaced and they said it wasn't bad. Windshield wipers go when they want then sometimes they won't work at all. Windows will roll down when rolling up or roll up when rolling down. Radio has been delayed. Sometimes definitely not eco boost. Pushes slower than my grandma's 1999 Buick. Brake boost was replaced in July à nd now again I have no breaks whatsoever I have to drive with the emergency brake
Sunroof will not close. Nothing is obstructing its ability to close. After taking it on to the dealership, they informed me 7 out of 10 Edges have this problem. This is not something I as the consumer has done.
This is a known issue for the Ford Edge. The Voltage Regulator on the Alternator goes out prematurely. The SYNC system will shut down while driving and also disable many features of the vehicle. Such as the radio turning off, doors not unlocking, shifting disabled, headlights turn on dimly, etc. The battery tests normal and so does the alternator, however the regulator within the alternator will not pass through enough charge to the battery to stay charged. Hence, why most people will change the battery and still have the problem later. I understand as parts age they do fail, however this has been a known issue since early versions of the car and it has yet to be corrected. Many of the complaints on the federal safety agency are related to this, however some people are not aware due to lack of testing the particular item. They will write complaints about radio shutting off or headlights wont turn on(which is really dangerous as well). It often happens while driving, a warning will show up saying "Sync shutting down.....". Driver's are unaware that they are only driving on the battery power at this point because when they get it checked by a mechanic, both the battery and alternator test as they are supposed too. They alternator is still creating voltage however the regulator, not tested individually, won't allow enough to go through to recharge the battery. The most concerning part is if certain electrical components not deemed necessary by the SYNC system are shut down they could lead to more catastrophic incidents. For example; ABS braking not slowing the vehicle, door wont unlock in emergency situation, etc. I had both battery and alternator checked by a tech from Oreilly's Auto Parts and a mechanic from a local auto shop. I was informed that it must be the battery since the alternator is performing, So the battery was changed Friday 08/13/2021. Vehicle was fine until driving Monday 08/15/2021 and warning showed up again.
Left rear door ajar light remains on even when door is fully closed. Interior lights remain on while driving. Vehicle is garaged when not in use.
Entire panel system shuts down when driving at various times. Non-functioning lights, speedometer, and warning systems. Entire panel across Ford Edge goes black. Driving at night and the entire cabin and headlamps shut off immediately. No hazard lights. Ford stated my vehicle is not recalled due to being manufactured at another plant from other recalls of the same year, model and make. Vehicle has less than 28,000 as of this date. Available for inspection immediately.
Even though the door is closed, the door open signal is on and will stay on and I cannot lock the car. It was happening periodically, now it is consistent. After reviewing the federal safety agency website, I noticed that 19n09 was issued and I never received the notice to bring the car in.
Driver door ajar indicator remains on even when door is fully closed. This results in doors not being able to lock, posing a possible safety issue. This is happening randomly. Additionally, the interior light on continuous illumination which could result in dead battery.
Light keeps coming on while driving, saying left passenger door is not closed. Shortly after that started the wipers started coming on by themselves once the car is started. We do not have automatic wipers. While looking online to try to figure out why this was happening, discovered many other people had the same problem on this year, make & model. There should be a recall on this since there are so many!
Over a year ago my driver side door would be closed and my edge would said door ajar leaving the lights on and me unable to lock my doors. After dropping a bunch of money the latch was replaced and has a warranty on it. My passenger door is now doing this and if my driver door has a warranty meaning whatever company is aware of this happening and covering it, I want my passenger door covered without me being out any money! It is hard times right now and any help would be great!

My 2013 ford edge has been having issues with the driver's door latch sensor. The sensor does not work properly and the vehicle computer is constantly thinking that my door is ajar. It illuminates the interior lights causing distractions and safety issues for me trying to drive and other drivers around me, especially since I work 3rd shift and do a lot of nighttime driving. It has drained my battery numerous times due to it setting my alarm off intermittently because it all of the sudden thinks my door is open when I have it parked. I have read so many complaints of this issue. This should have been a recall by ford years ago as this is a safety hazard. Ford sent a letter out stating that they would do a one-time courtesy fix for people having this problem, however, they listed requirements for mileage and age of vehicle that you had to meet to have them fix it. So even though I have owned this car since 35,000 miles, they told me that I didn't qualify. Ford is not going to step up on their own and be responsible about this, they need it to be forced on them to do so.
2013 ford edge unexpectedly stalls while driving on street. Vehicle sets a code and not corrected. Now determined throttle body module need replacement. Also have a 2015 ford edge that exhibited same problem. It was determined the purge valve was bad. A know number of people had this similar problems. Any future activity being talked about
Temperature blend door actuator keeps failing. It will either get stuck and stay on cold or get stuck on hot and won't switch over. I've had to replace this every year for the last 3 years now. I should have to be replacing a part like this every time the seasons change.

Cars door says it's open while driving even when it's closed completely. Also wipers don't swipe up and down
The door ajar light and shift to park light and warning system are continuously on draining the car battery over and over. I've taken it to ford for repairs 3 times and relaxed dead batteries and it's still not working right. I have to slam the door for 5 minutes to get the light to go off and the interior lights to go off. I have to toggle the shift gear for a while to get the shift to park wanting to go off and the electrical dashboard to turn off or battery will die again.
Drivers side front door 'door ajar' always staying on. Even after door is closed. Battery drains because dome light stays on. Happens when driving and when parked.
Vehicle door ajar warning light appears on dash as a bright red warning when door is actually closed. Loud beeping warning sound continually sounds off while driving, causing a distraction making unsafe to drive. Driver ignores other warning banners and alerts because this "door ajar alert" is constantly on and ringing. The driver and passengers are in danger because the saftey automatic door locks dk not lock while driving. The driver cannot lock doors with key fob because the door sensor shows the door is ajar. Dome lights are constantly on while driving make it very difficult driving at night, impeding sight of street signs, street maintenance workers, other vehicles, and pedestrians.
Door ajar warning light is always on the passenger door, at night the doors unlock themselves, and interior light is on causing battery drainage.
