Body problems of the 2013 Ford Edge - part 2

The vehicle started sensing the door was open when it was not. Because of this my security system activates over and over. On January 2, 2018 this happened while parked away from home and it depleted the battery which is less than a year old. The temperature outside was near zero degrees and I was stranded for about a half hour in sub zero temperatures. I am 60 years old and suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer of the digestive system and this became a dangerous, life threatening situation. Since January 2, 2018 my car has repeatedly run the battery down when sensing the door open and setting the alarm system active, repeatedly and for hours when I'm not around. After months of this I discovered today that my horn failed when in traffic and heavy rain and thunderstorms and I was unable to alert a car pulling into my right of way that I was there. This gets more and more dangerous every month, from nearly freezing to death, to nearly mangled on a us highway in northwest indiana something needs addressing by Ford as this seems to be a constant problem in the Ford Edge vehicles. These problems have developed more often over the last year but I discovered the horn problem today in a possibly life threatening incident at 50 mph in rain and thunderstorms.

Vehicle was in motion when all systems, including power steering stopped during a left turn. Upon inspection, battery was dead. Prior to this, the "door ajar" warning indicator was light, despite the door being latched. Certified Ford service center said that the door was indeed latched, so there was no safety issue there. However, didn't inform that it would drain battery. Occasionally, the vehicle parking headlights would come on, along with dome light when not in operation.

The "door ajar" light stays on after closing the door. Per social media it is a known and common problem. Because the estimate for diagnostics and replacement (quoted by Ford dealership) of a faulty switch in the door is approximately $525. 00, there are social media suggestions on how to disable the switch (cutting a wire, etc. ). Disabling the switch could cause a safety hazard. I think a recall should is in order. My vehicle (2013 Ford Edge) has 29,300 miles on it. The problem first starting occurring in Aug. 2017 and has steadily gotten worse.

Pe16012 I too am experiencing the door ajar light. There are two more safety issues you fail to consider as well as the extent of the problem. One, when the door ajar light is on and the vehicle is in motion the auto lock feature of the doors is lost. Aside from the issue of the doors potentially opening there is the potential danger to the occupants of unwanted access by unscrupulous people. The second issue that when the car is parked and locked the interior lights remain on resulting in batteries being worn down and drivers and passengers stranded. Not a wonderful thought in freezing winter conditions. The final point I would make is that there were 1349 complaints, now 1350, filed prior to mine. An old rule of thumb has been that for everyone who will take the time to write a letter of complaint there are 10,000 more who will not. The math says 13,500,000. Obviously there were not this many Ford Edges sold in the 3 model years this safety issue has presented itself. In fact they sold a little under . 3% of that number. That makes the ratio of complaints extremely high and much seriousness much greater. The date I note at the bottom is the approximate date the problem started.

The front, driver side door latch is dysfunctional. The sensor does not correctly read when the door is open and closed. It will not read when the door is closed, so the interior lights stay on. Plus, the door agar switch dings. It is very difficult driving during the nighttime when the interior lights will not go off because of this dysfunctional sensor. Plus, the doors will not lock because the sensor reads incorrectly. I recently attempted to lock my doors because I was at a stop-light in a rough party of town, but they would not lock because the sensor reads my driver's door as "open. " I will not purchase another Ford because of this issue.

The passenger door ajar light up sometimes when the door is closed securely. This leaves me uncertain if I have a hazardous condition or not. Concerned about ignoring the safety warning light when I have a real door problem. Creates an unsafe condition that must be physically checked each occurrence.
