CarComplaints.com Notes: A frustrating electrical issue is causing an ever-present “door ajar†warning light for 2011-2013 Ford Edge owners. Even with the doors latched shut, faulty sensors convince the vehicle’s computer they aren’t. With no way to override the system, owners have no choice but to stare at the warning light, listen to the warning chimes when the car is stopped, and deal with interior lights that won’t shut off.

While sitting in the car to quickly complete my online food order for curbside pickup, the temperature gauge suddenly shot up to high. I turned it off and opened the hood. My husband checked the antifreeze and saw that appeared to be a little bit low - not too low to warrant the temperature gauge reading high though. He took his truck and went to buy antifreeze while I stayed with the Edge. Once he added more to it he noticed that it was leaking and leaking a lot. That was when he decided the water pump was broke and we would have to leave the car, call mechanics and a tow.
After calling several local mechanics who refused to do the repair because "it is way too difficult and requires specialized tools in those vehicles" we had to call up Ford. Ford first quoted me $3000 for a new water pump. Then they called back and said that "oil" had gotten into the engine and I would have to replace the engine. It is now a $4-5,000 repair to replace the engine with a used one. There was no warning. No alerts. Just all of a sudden a catastrophic failure to the entire vehicle due to the design on the vehicle. The water pump should not be placed where it is in this vehicle. It should not destroy a vehicle. Ford now only designed this vehicle to force customers to come to their service department for repairs - they also designed it so that a simple $200 water pump repair leaves customers like me trying to figure out how to pay for these repairs or tow it home and continue my monthly payments on a dead vehicle. This is a disgrace!!!
