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.
I bought a used 2011 Edge Limited a couple of weeks ago. I really enjoy the vehicle, except just a few days ago, I've noticed some transmission issues which has me worried. I bought this vehicle with 36K miles and need it to last well into the 100's... I'm concerned about it being able to do this based on what I have experienced lately.
Last night I was at a light and when I gently pressed on the accelerator, it would not shift out of first gear. I tried to manually shift it but that didn't work either. I pulled over, put it in park and tried again but the same thing happened. I wasn't sure what I was going to do because driving home in first gear was not in the cards. Fortunately, after about a half mile or so it began shifting okay again. I plan to take it to the dealership this week but am not holding my breath because intermittent issues like these often don't get fixed. This will obviously be a huge problem if it continues with any regularity.
Problem started the very 1st night I brought it home from dealership. It's been in & out of the service department close to 6-7 different times and each time I get it back the same thing happens. Doesn't matter if it's cold or well warmed up, I stopped for whatever & I'm in "select shift " mode, ( new this year to the Edge) & when I get going again it won't shift out of 1st gear. It doesn't happen all the time, it just happens when it happens. It's only happened a couple of times in the drive mode but it still occurs. Occasionally it will stick in 3rd, 4th , or 5th gear from a dead stop. The dealership says each time I get it back that it is fixed but it's not. This last Thursday (02-10-2011) they called and said they got some brand new program from FORD's PCM manufacturer, they wiped the computer memory clean & installed this new one & said it ran like a totally different vehicle, GUARANTEE to be happy with it. Well guess what, Friday' s drive to work it did both scenarios describe above.1st in AM stuck in 3rd or 4th before I got to main road. In PM, at a stoplight it stuck in 1st gear. They have had VDR in vehicle when I drive it & when they drive it & it shows to them what it does ,yet they still can't get it repair.
