“In the spring of 2016 my 2011 EDGE started to give me a door ajar warning when the driver door was actually closed. I took it into the dealer. They said they would have to replace the lock at a cost of over $700. I felt that was to much and decided to drive without fixing it. It is really hard to see at night when the light stays on. And when I try to lock the doors with the inside button they lock pops back open.”

“I have received faulty error messages on the vehicle, for example the other day I was driving down the road and the light came on like the car was overheated however there was no smoke coming from the car and the temperature gauge never moved up. My passenger car door light sensor says that there is a door ajar when all doors are closed whether the vehicle is stationary or driving along the city street. When I open the front passenger door and close it sometimes the inside lights remain on in the vehicle.”

“My car it over heating and any warning light or alarm active. I don't know the temperature for my car is high. The damage include the motor, refrigeration system, thermostat, fan. I can reclaimed anything?”

“Passenger door ajar is on. The door is close. The light will not go off, and the dome lights stay on, until you drive for one minute, the dome lights go off, but door ajar stays on. My doors can't lock, when I'm driving, as long as the door ajar stays on. When I turn my car off, the dome lights stay on for 15 minutes, putting my battery in reserve. This is a safety hazard, because, small children in the back, could open the door, and also my battery will soon be going bad. I see a thousand of Ford EDGE owners 2011-2015 have this same problem.”

NHTSA complaint #11281449, filed 2019-11, 86,000 miles

“My braking system is malfunctioning while driving. It first appeared when the brake booster went bad on or around 2/6/2020 which I was never notified of by Ford as being a known problem so I had it replaced. Immediately after replacing that part on 2/9/2020 the brakes began to engage and stay engage while driving without depressing the brake pedal. This happened twice and the brakes would disengage once the vehicle was off for hours. Now on my way to the dealer 2/19/2020 my brakes were unresponsive and the brake pedal was soft and went all the way to the floor barely stopping the vehicle. …”
