3 Horn Assembly problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 09/30/2017

Driver's door ajar warning light stays on even when door is closed. Interior lights stay on for a while after you start driving. Doors will not automatically lock and if you lock them they will automatically unlock when driving. When exiting the vehicle and you go to lock it, the horn sounds twice indicating the door is not shut, and the interior lights remain on for a while. Real pain. Ford needs to get this figured out and recall these defective vehicles.

Failure Date: 09/11/2017

Vehicle is stationary. Dash warning "driver's door is ajar". Door is closed, but computer indicates the door is not closed. When this occurs, a warning light appears on the dash indicating "door is ajar". If I drive with that light on, another warning is displayed to "shift to park". When warning is on, the dome lights stay on. If I attempt to lock the car with the remote, the horn beeps twice (as opposed to once), indicating the doors are not locked.

5 Horn Assembly problem of the 2008 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 08/16/2017

Made a turn off interstate into a busy road, my vehicle jerked and lost its ability to accelerate. Leaving me in a very dangerous situation with cars flying around me to avoid hitting me. I managed to make it into a parking lot. I had a friend check the vehicle and with the hood up he had me put in reverse and it looked like the motor was going to jump out of the vehicle, same happened in drive. He put his computer on and a code for the drive speed sensor was present. The code was cleared and then noticed the speed and rpm gauges were inaccurate. This happens on occasion. Upon research I see this sensor has a recall on it but not for my year 08 Edge. Please recall ASAP. This can cause some seriously bad accident when your vehicle looses its ability to accelerate when in traffic. I fear this will happen and my life is in the line. Ford is aware there is a apparent problem noted by other year make model recalls. Note: this is the original complaint. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Today the same has happened again, I was greeted by horns blowing and aggressive drivers but was unable to do anything but coast to the next intersection to turn off. Nhtsa pleasw do something if possible. This output drive speed sensor is going to get someone killed soon. There are numerous complaints throughout this feed under scattered categories mainly because most do not know what the problem is and dealers cant figure out if the vehicle doesn't throw up a code. I had mine checked when the warning light was on so I would know the issue. Unfortunately the dealer couldn't help because we cleared the code. I checked into geeting this fixed but according to the dealer the part is unavailable, and the labor would be absurd if they had to replace. Please help!.

7 Horn Assembly problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 10/17/2016

Door ajar warning message on while driving or parked. Causes interior lights to stay on 10 minutes before turning off when parked. Interior lights will turn on and alarm horn will sound intermittently when parked. I pulled the fuse for the horn relay, don't know when it will sound. I feel it's unsafe to drive without a horn. While driving doors do not lock in fact they unlock after locking them with lock switch.

8 Horn Assembly problem of the 2013 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 09/01/2016

The "driver door ajar" light does not turn off when you close the door. It will remain on the entire time the vehicle is being driven. The lights will stay on when you are not in the vehicle and when driving at night. Unable to lock the doors from the keypad because the vehicle thinks the door is still open. The horn beeps twice when you try to lock the vehicle with the key fob indicating that the door is open. The radio will also remain on after you exit the vehicle and lock the doors.

9 Horn Assembly problem of the 2012 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 08/01/2016

Door ajar sensor failure: 2012 Ford Edge left rear passenger "door ajar" sensor fails to indicate when door is shut/locked indicating it may still be open/unlocked. The sensor failure affects the following: - alarm/intrusion detection: security system does not set properly and will activate randomly if set. Attempting to set alarm results in three abnormal horn blasts indicating a door is ajar. In this state, alarm will sound randomly which is highly disruptive to neighbors. It is unsure whether this model can lock without security system enabled, forcing the vehicle to be left unlocked. - electric / battery: dome lights, and other dash indicators do not secure manually and cause severe battery drainage. Expensive battery replacements. - safety: small children in car seats, unsure if doors are properly secured, doubt and peace of mind in Ford. The issue was discovered approximately August 2016. Vehicle was parked. At first the door could be opened and re-shut with force and sensor would self correct, but ultimately it would fail altogether. This is a known issue. Ford, where is the recall!?.

10 Horn Assembly problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 05/28/2016

Vehicle has begun to show driver door ajar at all times, even when slammed several times. This causes lights in cabin to remain on and drain battery when parked and even causes horn to begin to beep at all times during the day and night. Also causes doors to lock or unlock while driving or while parked and left unattended. Not secure for children to ride in car since locks are not reliable or to leave the car since you may return and vehicle has unlocked. This is very much a safety concern since it is impossible to back up or drive with the cabin lights on.

11 Horn Assembly problem of the 2012 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 01/04/2016

Driver side door ajar warning light and message displayed after entering or exiting the vehicle even though the door is shut. Problem occurs intermittently, seemingly more often when outside temperatures reach above 70 degrees. Attempts to open and shut the door multiple times often does not resolve the issue. When issue occurs the doors do not lock automatically when the vehicle begins moving, interior lights remain on. Occurs when starting to drive the vehicle or when parking. If parking, when the key fob "lock" button is pushed the horn honks twice rather than the normal single honk, indicating that the security alarm is not activated. Problem occurred within the first 10k miles and was fixed by Ford dealership under warranty. Problem started to occur again around 35k miles (Jan 2016).

12 Horn Assembly problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 02/23/2015

Door ajar warning light comes on every time we get into the vehicle and never goes off no matter how many times we close the door. Doors do not lock as car begins to move. Dome lights stay on for extended period when we start driving and after we have parked the car at end of trip. Back up camera doesn't function some of the time, and it never functions completely as it should. Car horn goes off at random times while car is parked with no one near it. It is a random sounding honking, not the consistent honk it makes when the panic button is pushed. Radio sometimes will not turn on, and sometimes when radio is on while driving, it won't turn off, even after car is turned off, key is taken out, we get out of car and lock it. Syncing system doesn't work right. Phone calls disconnect randomly. Battery warning light comes on sometimes when we turn car on; and dash display is delayed or doesn't come on. We have not had the car stall or start a fire as yet, but are afraid that may come next, as we have ready the many complaints about the 2011 Ford Edge problems and have found so many people have documented these exact complaints we have listed, and others have had the very dangerous stalling or burning problem. How we hope these problems will be investigated and Ford will be forced to fix these dangerous problems before someone is injured or killed because of them. How can Ford not have addressed it yet?!.

13 Horn Assembly problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 11/20/2014

The drivers side door is definitely closed. Car doe snot think so. Dash warning light is on. Dome lights on. When using the clicker to lock the doors the horn beeps a couple of times. Weird stuff. I do not know if this is going to cause safety problems or not. This Edge also has back brake problems. The back rotors and brakes have been changed twice already due to corrosion. Bad design. They get really hot and must be slightly in the braking position then until changed. Winter in minnesota - salt and Ford's better idea. One more thing: when we change the temperature settings the computer things we want air conditioning. This causes the windows to completely fog over under certain conditions. I have had numerous talks with Ford motors about this safety problem. They do not get it and basically blow us off because of cost or lack of understanding. There are complaints filed.

14 Horn Assembly problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 05/30/2014

Door ajar indication on dash for both the driver side front and rear doors began to be intermittent even after the doors are shut tight with multiple closures. Car lights would stay on and car battery would be discharge (would not start and electrical system failures. I had to removed the interior lights front over the dash, rear ceiling lights and trunk lights to prevent the battery from discharging. Battery still be discharged but less fast. Car now begins beeping horn when the battery gets low. Car will not lock unless the key fob is a significant distance from the vehicle. Car has keyless entry and will not lock under any circumstance. Estimated repair will be over $400. 00 and this is not guaranteed to fix the problem will not re-occur since Ford has not fixed the design of the door lock assembly.

15 Horn Assembly problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 02/24/2014

Drivers side door latch mechanism is defective. After closing the door the sensor which detects the door being shut is not activated properly. The instrument panel indicates that the door is ajar. The interior lights stay on until the vehicle is in motion. Most seriously however is that while this problem is occurring, the vehicle doors cannot be locked. None of them. A child in the back seat could easily open the doors while the car was in motion. Even if the driver pushes the door lock button to engage all 4 door locks, they pop right back open after a few seconds. The remote will also not activate the security system when you are outside the vehicle. The horn chirps twice indicating that the doors are ajar.
