Failure Date: 11/14/2012

My door locks on the driver's side of my 2011 Ford Edge limited model are malfunctioning. When you try to unlock the door either with the touch door sensors or the remote, the locks sounds like a machine gun. Also, sometimes the door will not lock. When Ford went in to replace the locking mechanism, they found out my driver's side window is starting to crack from the bottom up, so they have had my car at least a week now waiting on the glass, which is apparently an issue that is occurring on all of these Ford Edge vehicles.
