Failure Date: 06/16/2019

The vehicle was in park but three vehicle wouldn't start and gave a message that it wasn't on gear. I had bring it back to the dealership and pay for it to get fixed. The dealership mechanic and based on some reviews this is a common issue with this vehicle and other Ford with push start. Is this a recall?.

3 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2012 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 09/15/2017

09/15/2017 driver door ajar came on showing door was open. Closed door several times and it would go off. This happened several times until 10/10/2017. Now it won't go off and my doors wouldn't auto lock when in motion and wouldn't stay locked manually either. My dome ligh would stay on also. 10/16/2017 car would not start, battery was drained and no lights were left on. Called garage and jump started vehicle and took it in for repairs. Just got call that the battery and door ajar sensor will have to be replaced. It will cost almost $800. 00 to fix. The warranty just expired on vehicle and that leaves me with the bill. I read numerous other complaints about the same vehicle and same problem. There should be a recall on this. It is a big safety issue especially when you have children and the doors won't stay locked.

5 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2012 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 05/01/2017

The driver door and rear driver door "door ajar" notification's do not turn off, even when the doors are closed. This causes the dome lights to stay on which drains the battery, and then the vehicle will not start later. This also prevents the doors from locking while driving. This is an ongoing issue and can not seem to be resolved, even after a mechanic cleaned and lubricated the door latches.

6 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 08/15/2016

The 2 front door switches work sometimes. When parked the car thinks the doors are open and keeps the lights on. Sometimes for no reason the interior lights turn on and it drains the battery. Plus when the switches are not working the car does not think that it is locked and will beep twice when locking the car. When the switches have failed the doors will not lock when driving. I have been stranded because the lights will just come on when in a store and the battery will drain down to where the car will not start.

7 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2008 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 09/26/2014

Took my vehicle in early for service at sunrise because was concerned about loud screeching noise on brakes and erratic behavior of vehicle -surging. When driving. When the service tech (troy) opened the hood he asked em to get out of the vehicle and stand back, as the top of the battery was spattered with black oil looking material and apparently he and another technician were concerned it might rupture or explode. They asked em to get out of the vehicle, give them the keys and that they would check the vehicle and asked me to wait. About 90 minutes later they came out and said all was fine, nothing wrong with battery or brakes. I left and drove vehicle home and same problems were occuring, I returned and after calling and saying same things were occuring. I had hped to speak to frank wilson, who was an amazing service supervisor, but he was not there and another man who was rude claimed the battery was still under warranty but that it was normal to have oily sludge on the battery . He said it was "normal, because it was just sweating". He resfused to do anything. . Said the brakes needed to be at 3 before Ford would replace them. I asked that he contact Ford corporate and inquire. He said, "no he would not" the battery I should add since I have owned the vehicle has been repeatedly replaced. I have limited driving the vehicle, except for short local trips, and tonight the vehicle would not start and aaa claimed the battery was defective and clearly dead. It is most disturbing when Ford misrepresents their warranty and refused to acknolwedge defects that have been published in their won alerts. Seriously dangerous! there are numerous postings of other Ford Edge owners having these problems. Please investigate their questionable protocols on dangers that are known with their vehicles.

9 Car Will Not Start problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 07/10/2013

Drivers side door ajar light is on and does not go out even when the door is closed. This causes the doors not to lock causing a safety concern while operating the vehicle. When parked the interior lights remain lit which causes the battery to be drained and the car will not start. I had it fixed at the dealer under warranty just after 1 year of buying the vehicle new, then the 2nd time was 1 year after the replacement switch now not under warranty at this rate I will need to buy one drivers door switch every year at $400 a pop. I also had to replace the battery too. Really!.
