2011 Ford Edge Air bags Problems

“Issue 1: the car continues to say that the door is not closed. I will open and reclose and it still does not clear the read error on the dash. It is the drivers door. I have done research online and this seems to be a common issue. The dome lights stay on until speeds of 12 MPH are reached and if backing up it will not turn off. The doors will not lock when inside due to the door ajar. Issue 2: this has been an ongoing issue- the air bag light will come on my car after driving for 20 minutes. This one is concerning to me because no one seems to know why it does it. …”

“My son was driving his 2011 Ford EDGE down a busy road at night when another driver cut right in front of him. He hit the brakes but the road was wet and the car would not stop. To avoid a front collision with the other driver he turned the steering wheel to the right and that made him lose control of the car. He hit a tree, his car spun all the way across the road hitting the sidewalk and crashing the side passenger door against a street sign. The car is totaled (we believe). The front was destroyed, and the two front wheels smashed. …”

“I have a 2011 Ford EDGE and at 70,000 miles, my door ajar light stays on even though my door is closed. I can't lock my doors while I'm driving which worries me since I have a 5 month old baby. My battery dies because my interior lights stay on due to the door being ajar . I've also heard that my airbags may not deploy in an accident if my interior lights are on. That's a scary thought! I've been told that the sensor to the latch is just dirty and that it needs to be cleaned off which would cost me $450! Then they said that they could just replace it. This is ridiculous! …”

“I was rear-ended at a pedestrian crosswalk by a teen texting on his smartphone while driving at the speed of about 40mph. The impact caused me to smash into another car in front of me. I wasn't injured because I braced myself for impact looking up through my mirrors. The airbag light came on as if they airbags were about to deploy on the dash board but they simply didn't deploy. When I was driving home the car started shaking as if the airbags might pop out if I hit a bump in the road. The car is now parked and will remain parked until this issue is fully resolved.. No more Ford cars for me!”

“On october 2016, the driver was westbound on 2 lane route 40 near springfield, ohio. A medical condition caused the driver to pass out. The auto veered off the road initially traveling approximately 40 miles per hour. It crossed through a yard and hit nose first into a hill. Almost $10,000 worth of damage was caused to the front end of the vehicle. The airbag did not inflate and the driver sustained head and facial injuries due to contact with the steering wheel. The driver also sustained deep brusing to the chest due to the seat belt restraint. …”
