2009 Ford Edge Electrical system Problems

“Both tail lights have burned holes through their outer casings. Therefore, when I brake there is no diffusion of the bulb, just the bright light of the bulb shining. Mechanics at my local Ford dealership admitted the problem is caused by faulty wiring, which makes the bulbs burn too hot, resulting in the melting of certain areas of the protective casings. …”

“The passenger door ajar lightstays on and won't go off and the doors will not lock. This happens when I start my car , drive my car and will only go off when I turn off the engine. In my opinion this constitutes a major safety hazard what with the doors not locking.”

“Continue right rear tail light burnout. Plastic on blubs melted. Discoloration on socket. I now have about 100,000 mi on the car and have replaced 5 bulbs. I wrote a letter to Ford and they rejected my complaint. This is a fire hazard. Industrial plastic melts at about 300 of. This is a design defect which Ford is ignoring! I can provide photos of burned out bulbs and damaged socket. Left rear turn bulb svl 12v 3157.”

“Safety- on april 30,2009 I purchased a new 2009 Ford EDGE.

Vehicle would not move, it had to be towed. Was taken in for service, they found nothing. On october 31, 2009, again, I was on the nys thruway, it did the same identical thing, made a loud clunking noise, jerked and within 5 seconds just shut off. Both times I was barely able to make it to the EDGE of the road. …”
