DOOR AJAR SENSOR STUCK ON "OPEN" FOR DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOORS. AS A RESULT, DOME LIGHTS STAY ON CAUSING DIFFICULTY SEEING AT NIGHT, AND INABILITY TO LOCK DOORS WHILE IN MOTION. ALSO, DRAINS BATTERY AND HAS STRANDED MY WIFE MULTIPLE TIMES. REPAIR IS VERY COSTLY AND AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE REPLACEMENT PART IS JUST AS SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE PROBLEM AS THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. FORD NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS INHERENT DEFECT.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET WITH OUR INFANT BOYS IN THE BACK SEAT. WITHOUT WARNING, THE 2011 FORD EDGE LOST ALL POWER AND THE ENGINE VIBRATED INTENSELY. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS COLLISION. SHE RESTARTED THE CAR AND TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY AND SLOWLY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE WAY. THE NEXT DAY (7/20/15), WHEN WE DROVE THE SUV TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT HAPPENED A 3RD TIME. GALPIN FORD (N HILLS, CA) DIAGNOSED IT WITH A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY, NOT COVERED BY OUR 7-YEAR POWERTRAIN LIMITED WARRANTY. THIS IS A CERTIFIED PREOWNED FORD EDGE THAT WE PURCHASED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. THROTTLE BODIES SHOULD NOT FAIL WITH 45K MILES ON THE CAR. AND, IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, OR BETTER YET...IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE LOSS OF POWER IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT FORD SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. *TR

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 DIAGNOSED, HOWEVER, MOST FORD DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS $215 PLUS FOR DIAGNOSTIC FEES. ONLY THEN WILL THEY REPAIR THE PROBLEM. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, SO I STILL WIND UP PAYING ABOUT WHAT IT COSTS TO REPAIR IT. (??) CAR PART STORES WILL RUN A DIAGNOSTIC FOR FREE... THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC ISSUE. WHEN I RESEARCHED IT, TONS OF INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM SURFACED. IT SEEMS FORD WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL WHEN IT IS SO OBVIOUSLY NEEDED.

1PE16012 · Door Ajar Warning Light Always On
Opened Sep 28, 2016 · Closed Mar 20, 2017
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Interior Lighting; Latches/locks/linkages; Latches/locks/linkages:doors:latch
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened this investigation on September 28, 2016 based on allegations that the door ajar light located on the instrument cluster stays on all of the time even when all doors are closed and fully latched on 2011-2013 model year Ford Edge vehicles.When the light is illuminated continuously, vehicle occupants cannot be certain if any of the doors are properly latched.Reported safety consequences as a result of this issue include doors opening while driving (because doors were initially not latched properly), doors cannot be locked while driving, and the interior dome lights staying on continuously. Ford data received from the Information Request letter corresponding to this investigation indicates the failures were caused by contamination of the electrical contacts on the switch located within each door latch that tells the vehicle if the door is open or closed.All four doors contain the same latch design and switch.According to Ford, the Body Control Module (BCM) monitors the position of the switch and continuously samples it to detect a state of change.After a closed door state is detected, a continuous wetting current designed to keep the electrical contacts clean is sent from the BCM to the switches as long as the BCM is active.Beginning with the 2011 model year Edge vehicles, a change in BCM strategy resulted in a reduction of the wetting current sent out to clean the switch contacts by more than 75%.Over time, this low level of current is not sufficient to keep the switch contacts clean and contamination build up causes them to fail as described above.During the course of this investigation, ODI has identified a total of 1,983 complaints related to the door ajar light.Of these complaints, 14 indicated that a door opened while driving.Twelve of the 14 door opening events were situations where an occupant of the vehicle (often a child) opened a passenger door because the doors were not locked.The remaining two complaints involved a door opening on its own because the driver was unaware that the door was unlatched.There were no accidents but one complainant reported that a shoulder injury was caused by the driver having to repeatedly slam the door in an effort to get the door ajar light to turn off.After reviewing all available data, an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety has not been identified.The door latches themselves continue to function properly, remaining securely latched until acted upon by a driver or passenger.Child safety locks on the rear doors continue to function properly and can be used to prevent the rear doors from opening via the inside door handles.Vehicle crashworthiness is not affected by the lock condition of the doors and all active safety systems continue to function normally even if the vehicle BCM believes one or more doors is open.In addition, no accidents or accident related injuries have been reported.A safety-related defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, the investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will monitor the issue and reserves the right to take future action if warranted by the circumstances.ODI numbers for the reports cited above are shown in the attached document.
