This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The driver door ajar alarm continually is initiated even though the door is completely closed. This can cause interior lights to stay on and drain battery when the vehicle is parked. This alarm will continue when the vehicle is in motion. Re-opening and closing the door sometimes solves the problem. If alarm cannot be cancelled, doors don't always lock when vehicle is in motion.
Engine control module-PCM. After 3 years of replacing/repairing items on my car, they now say that the PCM is the cause. I have replaced multiple sensors, catalytic converter, drive shaft, turbo, cooling system, and the list goes on. Had the PCM been diagnosed the first time my check engine light came on and replaced the sensor, I could of saved a lot of time. Every time I would go in, the diagnostic test would show 02 sensor which was replaced numerous times, then they would say catalytic converter, so on so on going down the list. I would get stranded on the highway because the car would completely shut down. Not one person in the past 3 years said the PCM was to blame. After a week of trying to diagnosis my car after once again being stranded on the highway, they are saying the PCM. The mechanic states that the computer module is on back order with Ford. The Ford rep states that they are selling them faster than they can be made. If this part is on back order (2 weeks) and can't keep them in stock, there seems to be an issue with the PCM for Ford. Everything that I have read states it is very hard to diagnosis a PCM but there needs to be a code that appears when it is faulty because this could of been covered under warranty 3 years ago but instead, I have paid a lot of out of pocket to get to this point of replacing the PCM. PCM in high demand with Ford indicates a red flag for this part and issue. Please review.
The door sensor in drivers door is not working. It says it's ajar when it's closed tightly. Issue is when I am driving it will just pop on and interior lights pop on and I have to shut door several times for it sense it's shut and it may not stay that way. It is dangerous when lights pop on at night make it hard to see road have to pull over. Other down side is if I don't stand outside my car when I get out to make sure the interior lights shut off otherwise will drain my battery as it is not sensing door is closed.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. While driving at any speed, the dome light remained illuminated. Also, while idling at any stop, the vehicle beeped and the door ajar indicator illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the door locks did not lock. The failures were not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.
The door ajar warning for my drivers side stays on all the time, even when door is securely closed. This has caused interior lights to remain on and battery life to be drained. The doors will not lock while driving.
The left door ajar sensor light stays on after all doors are closed securely. The doors do not automatically lock after starting to drive. The dome light stays on for a long time. The warning signal beeps every time we step on the brake and is very annoying.
The door ajar light is coming on even when the door is closed. This is preventing the dome lights from turning off in order to drive and also draining the battery. Is is a safety issue at night and when I park my car and the battery dies.
The door ajar light will not go off on my 2013 Ford Edge when the door is securely shut. This causes the interior dome to remain on while driving causing a serious driving obstruction and dangerous condition. It is also draining the battery.
Door ajar light stays on. Have to slam the door at least 3-4 times before it goes off. Had it looked at the dealer only to have them only clean the door latch. When problem returned they told me that it was no longer under warranty, too many miles and would cost over $350 to replace door latch. There is clearly a problem with this as my vehicle is not the only vehicle doing this. The other concern besides the door possibly flying open, is having to replace the battery as the dome light stays on for a long period of time after shutting the car off and not being able to lock the car because it thinks the door is ajar. This problem happens when the vehicle is stationary and in motion.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. While driving 35 mph, the "driver's door ajar" indicator illuminated while the door was closed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing, but the contact was not aware of the results. The dealer offered a temporary repair, but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer stated that they could not assist because there was no recall. The contact was advised to return to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 27,000.
Door ajar sensor light and interior lights will not shut off when door is closed. Will not always lock if sensor believes door is ajar. Takes many attempts to get sensor to turn off.
Door ajar continues to stay on despite doors being closed. Unable to lock doors (all doors) while driving. Interior lights stay on. Interior lights come on while driving making it difficult to see at night. Unable to lock doors with keypad. Unable to tell if door is actually closed or not while driving.
At 89000 miles I keep getting a "driver door ajar" warning while I am driving. I looked online to see that many people have the same issue with this vehicle at or about the 90K mile mark. The battery will drain because the car thinks the door is open, the lights stay on in the car thus draining battery.
My "door ajar" sensor light stays on even when the door is shut. I can not lock my doors when the light is on. It has also run down my battery so I had to replace my battery.
Driver side, rear passenger "door ajar" is constantly lit on the dashboard. Despite repeated verification that the door is closed, the warning message remains. This means the doors won't lock, the cabin lights don't turn off and the audible alarm rings. There has been no injury or accident at this time. Door appears to be latched, but warning indicator stays on. Remains while driving or stationary.
