WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO TEXAS FROM MISSOURI. AS WE WERE TRAVELING SOUTH ON I35 A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH STATING THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS AJAR WHEN IT APPEARED TO BE SHUT. IT THEN TOLD US TO SHIFT TO PARK AND SHUT THE DOOR. WE PULLED OVER ON I35 THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE NEEDED TO DO FOR SAFETY REASONS. MY WIFE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AFTER SHUTTING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES THE WARNING LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF AS WELL AS THE DOME LIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK AND THE ALARM WOULD NOT ARM ITSELF. I HAVE BEEN A LOCAL POLICE OFFICER FOR KCPD FOR 14 YEARS AND HAVE SEEN FAR TOO MANY ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE PULLING OVER ON A HIGHWAY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED ON ALL FORD VEHICLES. AFTER OUR TRIP I RESERCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND APPARENTLY ITS HAPPENING ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT FORD MODELS. I SAW COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT BY PEOPLE WHO WERE FORD OWNERS.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR LIGHT ON THE DASH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT. THE DOOR NEEDS TO BE SLAMMED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE LIGHT EXTINGUISHES, BUT SOMETIMES WILL NOT GO OUT AT ALL. THIS LEAVES DRIVER WITH AN INSECURE FEELING THE CAR DOOR IS NOT SECURELY CLOSED WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE FROM WHAT I READ ON THE INTERNET.

Official recalls
2Jul 2, 2014
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles manufactured September 2, 2010, to November 30, 2013; 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS vehicles manufactured August 25, 2011, to November 30, 2013; and 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles manufactured September 12, 2011, to November 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed, and as a result, the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without prior warning.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the halfshaft and linkshaft become disengaged while driving, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'Park', increasing the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure that the halfshaft is properly retained. If it is not, dealers will replace the linkshaft and also replace the halfshaft if it shows evidence of spline damage, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S10.
Jan 6, 2014
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Edge vehicles manufactured from September 2, 2010, through April 25, 2013, and equipped with 2.0L engines. The fuel line pulse damper metal housing may crack as a result of an improper manufacturing process. A cracked fuel line pulse damper housing may result in a combination of fuel odor, weepage, or a continuous leak while the fuel system is pressurized.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel line with one that does not have a damper, free of charge. The safety recall began on February 25, 2014. Owners may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 13S13. IMPORTANT: This recall supersedes recall 12V-438. All vehicles that have been remedied under the previous recall need to have the current remedy applied.

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.
