    Air bag light was on in the car. Seat belt light for driver's seat doesn't always turn on nor does it alarm even when the seat belt in buckled or unbuckled or if the vehicle was stopped or in motion. Took vehicle in for service, initially was told there may have been rodent damage and that wouldn't be covered by warranty but they would check it out. When i returned, i was told empty water bottles under the passenger…

    Electrical System

    I have been having problems for over a year with a defective door switch on the driver's side rear door causing the "door ajar" warning light to display and the interior lights to stay on when the door is shut tight. The warning light will stay on the entire time the car is running, whether stationary or moving. Recently i received the attached customer satisfaction program letter 19n09. As you can see it clearly…

    I reported about 3 -4 years ago about door ajar problem. My car was in warranty then. Received letter to-day jan 2020 about fixing problem now my car according to them is out of warranty and now they will not cover this defect. There should be no time frame on this issue. It is a factory defect they just want consumer to pay once again for there defect not a happy camper.i will not recommend a ford to any one as…

    Electrical System

    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.

    Electrical System · Engine · Power Train

    I was driving my ford edge on route 303 in phoenix at about 60 miles per hour when the car suddenly started shaking and losing power. It allowed me to drive a very short distance until i was able to stop the car, in a turn lane with a tractor trailer on my tail ...very disconcerting! A yellow wrench light was showing along with some notice about my traction being off, i believe. After sitting a few minutes i was…

    Electrical System

    Taillight was inoperative, passenger side, along with directional signal. Thinking it was a burned out bulb, i removed the tail light connector from the plastic housing. I noticed that the bulb had totally fuzed itself to the connector. While the bulb filaments appear intact, the bulb and connector had generated enough heat to essentially melt the base of the bulb to the connector into one unit. Oddly enough, when…
