    Faulty sensor in the door causes the car to think the driver door is open. Door ajar light stays on and vehicle will not lock when driving! Lights eventually time out but when inside the car, the doors do not lock! I have had it fixed three times now and it always comes back.

    The door ajar light on driver side door remains on intermittently. Occasionally after repeated shutting of the door it will go off. The air bags are effected. I understand they will not deploy if this light remains on.

    The "door ajar" warning light started coming on, intermittently at first and then continuously. Bad sensor. When this occurs, the doors will not lock using the latch and the interior lights stay on for a time. The only way to lock the doors once inside, is to use the key fob. This can be quite dangerous if not in a good area. This problem has drained my battery on more than one occasion. The problem has been…

    We were traveling on a highway when all of a sudden we lost "power" but it was only the ability to go. There was enough traffic and lack of speed to prohibit from moving all the way over to the shoulder. We made it to the slowest lane (furthest right hand lane). The only thing that saved us from being rear ended was there was a sheriff near by and saw us broke down stranded and he helped direct traffic around us for…

    I have had the vehicle for 6 months, in april 2014 the first incident occurred when the car overheated on 3 different occasions and emptied all the antifreeze on the third time. Brought the car to the dealer, dealer found no error codes and let the vehicle run for 4 hrs with the a/c on and found nothing to be wrong. A few weeks later i was driving down the road and the car just shut down, luckily i was driving in a…

    The door latch switch is a constant problem on many ford vehicles and ford refuses to recall the product. It could lead to a dangerous situation if the door is really ajar and the door may open, drain the battery and when the door switch is malfunctioning, it states that the door is ajar and the doors will not lock. *js

    The sensor in the drivers side door has malfunctioned and the "driver door ajar" message is on all the time. This also prevents the doors from locking. Ford knew of this issue while my vehicle was under warranty and did not replace the sensor. After minimal research i have found this is a known issue with 2011/2012 ford edges but no recall has been issued. This initially started in 2014 but the ford service…

    Had to take the vehicle in at 28000 mi. Due to "driver door ajar" light coming on when door was closed. Ricart ford claimed they repaired or replaced the door latch/sensor assembly. The problem went away until now at 60,000 mi. Now doing it again. Contacted ricart they said they would have to charge me to repair. I informed them that it had been there previous. They did not care. Called ford motors, they had same…

At times, the image will be grainy, will be intermittently responsive, will be presented upside-down / mirror-imaged, or will not appear at all. While the backup camera does not provide the sole source of information for the driver as…

    My door sensor light will not turn off, which is keeping my vehicle from locking. The malfunction is with the driver's side of my 2011 ford edge limited model. Sometimes you could should the door 20 times in a row and the door still would not lock. Cold temperatures seem to effect the sensor more than a warm day. Ford did replace my sensor on my vehicle. *tr

    When you stop the car and put into park a warning sign comes on indicating that you need to put the shift lever in park. You can click the button on the forward part of the shift lever to release the warning. I took it to ford and the mechanic told me that it would require the disassembly of the shift lever to fix, so i told him i would live with it. I didn't want any greater problems to arise from their work on the…

    A message saying 'driver door ajar' appears on the console even when the door is tightly shut. If i try to lock the doors the car would just unlock all doors even while i'm driving. This is very dangerous especially for someone like me who drives my kids to the daycare and school everyday. At nighttime, the internal lights would also not turn off because the car thinks that one of the doors is open. Not only is it…

    We purchased this vehicle used in wv in april 2012. By may, the door ajar light was coming on even when the door was forcibly closed. The sensor was replaced under warranty. Less than a year later, at around 50k miles, the sensor was bad again. Once again, the sensor was replaced under warranty. However, this time both the driver door and rear driver side door were affected. Now in 2015 at 104k miles the door sensor…

    Driving and transmission drops hard. I this has happened several times typically when foot it off gas. Safety concern as the drop is so severe, sometimes it does this two to three times in a row. Vehicle tends to buck in extreme. Dealer cant "recreate" problem. Dealer replaced throttle body and motor on 5/19 still have issues. Vehicle will be in to dealer for 4th time in one month.

I have been pulling over to the side of the road to turn my vehicle off, open the door to make the screen clear, this does not work. Then all of a sudden the sync system will re-boot itself and then it works again. The bluetooth system is always disconnecting my phone or…
