The drive door is consistently not locking properly and the door latch sensor is not reading when the door is shut properly. Causing a "door ajar" and "transmission not in park" warning to pop up while driving. Also, my car alarm goes off several times a day and several times all through the night due to the door sensor not working properly. The doors not locking is a huge safety risk. The interior lights stay on making it hard to see while driving at night and drains my car battery. Children can open my doors from the inside while driving and any unwanted person can open my doors from the outside while stopped for traffic reasons. When I looked at the car to purchase 4 years ago, I reported the issue to the dealer and the dealer supposedly sent the car to a Ford dealership to inspect and fix the issue. After the supposed fix, the issue seemed fine for a while. However, the issue came back shortly after purchase and got worse causing other symptoms such as the car alarm going off randomly after locking the car. I honestly feel the dealer just cleaned the sensor and door latch area to make a sale, which from what I've read is only a temporary fix. I have seen investigations and recalls for 2011, 2012, and 2013 Ford Edge models with the same or similar issues. However, there have not been any investigations and recalls for this issue on a 2014 Ford Edge, yet there are many complaints. Please investigate this safety issue so we don't have to worry about possible risk that could occur while driving. Thank you.

Back up camera is not working properly. This started 1st of the year when it doesn't come on while in reverse. It's been on again off again for months. I should have reported sooner but was hoping it would resolve when following guidelines from the of owners manual. No messages or other symptoms that I'm aware of or appear and it's happening more often. There has been no inspection done. No incidents but definitely not safe to use. When camera does work it blanks out and goes black and message appears call dealership while backing up. Only other issue that I seen reported was our brakes screeching while backing up also. We need to get resolved ASAP.
Our backup camera isn't working properly. It sometimes works in reverse and also sometimes comes in while in drive. Most of time it doesn't work. It has not been taken to dealership to be looked at. It's been about a month now. Saw recently about recall on some cameras.
I purchased my 2014 Ford Edge SEL ON JANUARY 2015. I have electrical problems suspicion problems & recall on my Airbags! I have always taken it to a Ford Dealership to have my regular service done…oil charge etc. it those times I have told them the other problems I was having example electrical problem started a month after I bought my vehicle every time they told me nothing is wrong or they replace the battery I have had 4 batteries replaced by Ford Dealerships. I also had recall on my airbags the dealership told me numerous times you do not need to worry about your vehicle it is fine!! After my 100, 000 Mile Warranty ran out I had my vehicle serviced by a mechanic shop. They could the electrical issue was in headlights & dashboard had them replace headlights & lights in dashboard. On 3/19/2023 I was in a bad vehicle accident involved 9 vehicles I was the 5 vehicle. I have neck back & leg injuries. My AIRBAGS NEVER went off! If the Airbags would of worked properly have would not of gotten all my injuries. My Police Officers & Paramedics explained that to me at scene of the accident. Why did Ford not do or repair my airbag recall instead of telling meh car was not recalled even when I received service notification in the mail to get the Airbags fixed
Back up camera works intermittently. Was told by the dealer the parts for the camera were on back order and it could be up to a year before they get them in!!!! Also if the car sits for 2 to 3 days the battery is dead and it has to be jump started. Battery tested at 100%. Everything is off when I get out of the car but something is draining the battery!!!
The backup camera on the car works intermittently switching between blue screens and component not available. This causes a safety risk as I back up. A specific scenario that occured where I had to back out of my garage during Halloween with kids running about the neighborhood. The backup camera screen turned blue requiring me to backup using only the side mirrors hoping someone was not behind the vehicle.
Rear backup camera has malfunctioned and an error message appears. The screen goes black.
It started with something with the battery saver no dash lights respond to the key turning on of had keys programmed I’ll change the ECU I change the main harness the dash harness the engine harness all from Ford ignition switch steering column module BCM I don’t know I don’t understand I need to get this issue fixed it’s almost been seven months no vehicle I’m still paying a $450 note on it and I can’t get back to work without a vehicle Something got to shake I got no money bring it to no dealer. I’ve changed to batteries since the incidence just because to try it nothings worked if anybody knows any info don’t hesitate to contact me
This is a known issue with Ford models. The door sensor does not work correctly when the doors are closed. The sensor alerts that a door is still open, and will keep the dome light on and will not allow the doors to lock. This is a huge issue with not being able to see at night with the light on, and doors not locking with children in the back seat. There is also another sensor that does not sense when the vehicle is in park. Then again you are not able to lock the doors of the vehicle.
Door ajar light strays on although door is completely closer, not allowing for door to lock and causing a distracting dinging sound with trying to drive, this also causes the other doors not to lock, as well as kills the battery leaving people stranded.
Window Master Switch and door wire harness on drivers door does not operate. Can not open any windows on the vehicle. Rear windows will not open from rear door switches also. In case of accident windows can not be opened for exit purposes. Can not open windows if stopped by a police officer, whereas, they may feel threatened by occupant in vehicle. Is this a safety feature to be able to open windows. Ford dealer performed a vehicle check on May 20, 2021 and indicated the door harness may need replacement and the window master switch. Ford indicated the vehicle is 7 years old and the part is likely not made by Ford anymore. Ford has no way to correct the issue. There were no warning lights, messages, regarding the stoppage on May 20, 2021
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford edge. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the door ajar light remained illuminated with the front driver's side door closed. During the failure, the door could not be locked and the interior lights remained illuminated. On one occasion, the front driver's side door lock had frozen and the door could not be properly secured. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer medved ford located at 1404 s wilcox st castle rock, co 80104 who diagnosed that the front driver's side door locking assembly was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
1.press or loosing off brakes pedal gives a knocking noise. 2. Rear view camera flickers & shut off with a warning message. 3. Rearview side mirrors do not work. 4. Lighter plug located by middle compact towards back row does not work.
Rear backup camera can show distorted images or suddenly go dark when engine is running and put into reverse when backing up. Camera image is sporadic. It will sometimes flicker and go out or not engage at all showing either a black or blue screen and saying "rear camera not available". Happens w/o warning. Warmer weather effects it more often than in cold or when foot is applied to the brake. I purchased car brand new from ford dealership and this started happening after warranty was up. Took to ford dealership to diagnose cost estimate over $800 to fix. Took to local repair shop and was told it was electrical and needed a code that they couldn't access. There's a recall for 2020 ford edge vehicles on this matter as this should be grandfathered in in the recall. It does the same exact thing! I have video that shows much more how this happens.
Power transfer unit leaking after 80,000 miles, had the vehicle serviced to replace ptu and new ptu is also leaking. Other driving issues have occurred since including losing power steer capability on while driving at low speeds on uneven roads, unable to accurately recreate the issue as it is very intermittent. All check engine lights, wrench, and advancetrac dashboard warnings flash when electrical and propulsion systems malfunction.
Door ajar alert comes on after closing driver door causing interior dome light to stay on and external locking mechanism does not work such as lock code buttons and hand sensor causing the vehicle not to lock. This happens when exiting the vehicle. Concern fir battery drain, unsecured vehicle and extra lighting when driving. Have had an intermittent issue with back hatch door stating same thing. Noted this is ay known problem with previous year ford edge products and many comments out in the internet by other ford edge owners. This has been happening over the last several months
My car has completely shut off while driving 70 MPH on the highway!! A wrench icon lights up on the dash board. I can barely coast to the side of the road before car comes to a complete stop. I was sooo afraid of being killed! The mechanic checked and says there is nothing wrong with my car. It has happened 4 more times. The car starts up after I can put it in park and drives like nothing happened until the next incident. Who will have to die before ford finds the problem?
'when this condition occurs, the malfunction indicator lamp (mil) or wrench light will illuminate and the vehicle may enter a limited limp home mode,' federal officials said. 'in this mode, engine power and vehicle speed are reduced, while full function of the power steering, power braking, lighting, and climate control systems are maintained.
Driver door ajar warning won't go out. Doors won't lock. Battery drains. Transmission not in park warning. These warnings come on while parked and while the vehicle is moving.
Our ford edge will intermittently loose power and drops to a rough idle, engine light comes on. This can happen at hwy speeds or accelerating from a stop. The error code given is p2111 tac system-actuator stuck open. I can turn the switch off then restart it and it might run okay for awhile or not. Throttle body is clean and all connectors seem to look good, no corrosion.
The driver side door sensor/ latch is failing. Door is closed or slammed multiple times and sensor shows errors of: door ajar, transmission not in park, engine on because it doesn't sense the door being shut. Therefore the overhead light stays on and can potentially drain battery. If continuing to drive with warning it will beep every few seconds. The doors will not automatically lock. When getting out of car and locking. It needs to be shut multiple times so light doesn't stay on and or alarm will not set.
Driver side door latch/sensor malfunction. Due to manufacture date of october 2014 my vehicle is not eligible under current recall for the latch (19n09) however my vehicle is currently at the dealership having the part replaced with out of pocket expense.
Door ajar / transmission not in park sensor is not working properly. Unsafe condition not knowing if door lock system is working properly. Have to stop numerous time while driving to check if door is actually closed and locked. Also will not allow interior lights to go off, and is safety issue when trying to drive at night. Extremely difficult to see due to lost of night vision. Ford motor knows of the issues for years but refuses to correct issue via a recall. The vehicle only has 31,000 miles on it.
Intermittent door ajar warning and cannot lock doors and dome light stays on. Ford has a customer satisfaction program (19n09) for this issue but the dealer told me that my VIN number does not qualify for this even though the door parts are the same part number from 2011 through 2014.
My back up camera is projecting the image upside down when shown on the audio screen in the vehicle. I was backing up when the camera image changed from right side up to upside down.
Door ajar light comes on with driver's side door, even though door is closed. This in turn causes the lights to remain on inside, causing the battery to drain if not noticed. The door ajar light keeps the doors from locking, and can be a safety issue. This has happened many times now.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford edge. While driving 40 MPH, the wrench icon illuminated and the vehicle immediately started to lose power, which caused the speed to decrease. The failure occurred twice. The vehicle was taken to avis ford inc (29200 telegraph rd, southfield, mi 48034) and was informed to return in a week for further observation. The contact took the vehicle to north brothers ford inc (33300 ford rd, westland, mi 48185) where they replaced the electronic throttle body. The manufacturer was contacted and unable to assist. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 76,000. *tt
Our edge currently has problems with the passenger compartment AC/heating. When you turn the AC on the drivers side blows hot air and the passenger side blows cold. When you turn the heater on the drivers side blows hot and the passenger side blows cold no matter where the controls are set. This started on 9-24-2018 and our vehicle only has a little over 42,000 miles on it. Very annoying.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford edge. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was not able to restart and was towed to darcars ford (9020 lanham severn rd, lanham, md 20706, (301) 459-1100). The dealer diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced and the battery needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 32,580.
Driver side front door ajar sensor failure. Sensor reads door ajar when door is closed that which keeps interior lighting on, dash alarm/warning stays on and drains the battery and could potentially leave you stranded. Found many people with this same issue on the same door, other door or multiple doors on the internet and many youtube videos showing this failure with most ford SUV style vehicles in this model and year range. Called several mechanics and was quoted $400 + dollars to replace sensor with same version sensor that which will soon fail again according to mechanics and others that have replaced the sensor from internet and youtube source.
