  THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE DOOM LIGHTS WONT TURN OFF. I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH FORDS WHERE THE POORLY DESIGNED DOOR LATCH BINDS UP. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2002 EXPLORER AND NOW WITH MY 2008 EDGE. IT BECOMES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT SINCE THE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF SO IT IS HARD TO SEE OUTSIDE AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO GET THIS FAR BEFORE THIS ISSUE HAS SURFACED SINCE I HAVE READ THAT FORD CARS 2 TO 3 YEARS OLD SEEM TO HAVE THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. *JS

  TAKATA RECALL SAME STORY AS MANY OTHER POSTERS HERE, JUST ADDING TO THE LIST. 2008 FORD EDGE W/ 170,000. SPEEDOMETER QUITS WORKING, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT, WRENCH LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT -- INITIALLY WORKS AS IF IN LOW GEAR (HIGH RPM'S AND LITTLE SPEED), THEN QUITS ACCELERATING ALL TOGETHER -- LOUD THUMP WHEN CHANGE BETWEEN P / R / D. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AT 60 MPH. HAD TO STOP AND PULL OVER AND LET THE CAR SIT BEFORE I COULD GO AGAIN IT TOOK ABOUT 15MINS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD GO AGAIN.

THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY ONLY THE 2010 TO 2013 MODELS HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTERS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO NOT HAVE ANY WARNING MY BRAKES ARE OUT.

  MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING WITH ME AND OUR 2 CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. ALL GAUGES (FUEL, SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, ETC.) STOPPED WORKING AND THE ODOMETER READ "ODO DATA ERROR". WE HAD A GPS THAT WE WERE USING AND DISPLAYED OUR SPEED, SO WE KEPT GOING THE 5 MILES TO OUR PLANNED STOP ALONG THE WAY HOME. WHEN WE RESTARTED THE CAR, THE GAUGES WERE BACK UP BUT IT MADE A LOUD THUMPING SOUND WHEN CHANGING GEARS. IT REVERSED FINE (BUT WE WERE ON A SLOPE), THEN THUMPED AGAIN AS WE SWITCHED TO DRIVE. THE CAR ONLY REVVED AND DID NOT MOVE. WE REVERSED AGAIN TO SITUATE OURSELVES SO THE SLOPE WAS IN OUR FAVOR WHEN WE SWITCHED TO DRIVE. IT WAS A TOUGH START, BUT IT DID GO. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPORT (THIS WAS ON A SATURDAY) AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD BRING IT IN, BUT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT UNTIL TUESDAY. WE MADE IT HOME (ANOTHER HOUR DRIVE), BUT I'M NOT USING THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL I DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR IS NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY. *TR

OTHER ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE NOTED IS THAT THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CAR FOR NO REASON HAS ALARM GO OFF.

I TOOK IT CAR DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR A WHILE IT STARTED WORKING FINE. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM WE TOWED IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING THEY COULD NOT DETECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN. AGAIN TODAY DEC 2013 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STARTED REVVING AND WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT.

ALMOST A YEAR LATER, IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 I RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER THAT SAID PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE AND I SHOULD CALL A DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT ON DECEMBER 3, BUT THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE PART ARRIVED. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 3 WEEKS SINCE I MADE THE APPOINTMENT, AND THAT IS NOWHERE NEAR THE AMOUNT OF TIME MY WIFE AND I HAVE WAITED FOR FORD TO EVEN HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR OUR VEHICLE. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED THAT EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR WITH ANYONE ELSE THEY EITHER HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK OR RISK METAL SHRAPNEL IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS AN ESPECIALLY RELEVANT FEAR DURING THE WINTER MONTHS WHEN ICY ROAD CONDITIONS MAKE ACCIDENTS MUCH MORE LIKELY. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR 2 AND A HALF YEARS AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR A FIX FOR MY VEHICLE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WAITING, AND THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE APPALLING THAT FORD HAS NOT BEEN MORE TIMELY IN FIXING THIS RECALL.

  UPON ACCELERATION THE RPM'S WILL GO UP YET THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND YOU WILL FEEL A BANG AS IF SOMEONE HAS REAR-ENDED YOU. THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE A FEW TIMES WITHIN A YEAR OF US PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW. THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG SEVERAL TIMES I BROUGHT IT TO THEM. FINALLY, I LEFT IT THERE A FEW MONTHS AGO AND WOULDN'T TAKE IT BACK UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. THEY RE-DID THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID IT IS FIXED. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH IT STILL. I ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT DID IT AS I WAS TURNING AND IT JUST WOULDN'T KICK INTO GEAR, THEN A BIG BANG AND IT GOES. I ALMOST GOT HIT DEAD ON. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE I HAVE 60,240 MILES ON IT AND IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AT 60,000. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT IT SINCE THEY FIXED IT BUT EVERYTIME I WENT TO BRING IT THERE TO HAVE IT CHECKED, THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LOANER OR THE TECH WHO NEEDS TO LOOK AT IT IS OFF. WE CALLED CORPORATE AND THEY DID NOTHING. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT I AM READING SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE - NO RECALLS, NOTHING. THIS IS UNFAIR AS TO I HAVE MAINTAINED EVERYTHING ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. THIS IS A FORD ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS. IT IS NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT FOR POOR MANUFACTURING OF A VEHICLE THAT WAS ADVERTISED SO GREAT! THEY SHOULD BE FIXING THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

  MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND UPON ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY WOULD GO INTO A "NEUTRAL-LIKE" STATE. RPMS WOULD INCREASE DRAMATICALLY, BUT THE CAR WOULD CRAWL BETWEEN 3-5MPH. THE MESSAGE, "OD READ ERROR" WOULD DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD, POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT AND BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND WELL (IT WAS AS IF THE CAR HAD TURNED OFF). WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK OR REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK FORWARD VIOLENTLY, AS IF REAR-ENDED. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND STARTED AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP EVEN DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS ONLY AT 37,600 MILES. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BUT IT APPEARS TO BE AN ON-BOARD COMPUTER ISSUE AS WELL. AFTER TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, 5 WEEKS LATER HAD ISSUE WITH SHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR. VEHICLE SHIFTED VERY HARD INTO FIRST GEAR. CAR IS BACK DOWN AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. WROTE A LETTER TO FORD EXPRESSING MY CONCERN AND REQUESTED THE CAR BE REPURCHASED, THEY DENIED MY REQUEST. *TR

THE DEALERSHIP IS WANTING TO CHARGE BETWEEN $1900 - $2500 TO FIX AND TWO PLASTIC CLIPS THAT CLOSE THE SUNROOF, BECAUSE THEY ARE INDICATED THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRACK SYSTEM, AS THE SPECIFIC SMALL PART THAT NEEDS REPLACING IS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL WILL LIGHT UP( WRENCH LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT...ETC) THE ODOMETER WILL GO OFF AND HAVE ONLY DASHES, THE CAR WILL THEN HAVE A LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS TRYING REALLY HARD TO STAY IN GEAR OR CHANGE GEARS.THIS WILL HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH AS WELL AS LOCAL ROADS AT LOWER SPEEDS. I WILL HAVE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER ON THE SIDE. WE FIGURED OUT THAT IF YOU DISCONNECT THE CABLES ON THE BATTERY FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RECONNECT THE CAR WILL THEN RUN AGAIN OK. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY ALREADY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS "NO CODE READING" SO THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

I WAS ALONE ON THE ROAD AND WAS NOWHERE NEAR AN OVERPASS WHERE SOMETHING COULD HAVE FALLEN ON IT. IT WAS A COLD DAY AND THE HEATER WAS ON SO THERE WAS A TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE. I DROVE THE CAR TO FORD AFTER CALLING MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THERE WAS NO "STRUCTURAL DEFECT" SO FORD WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT. IT IS 1300 DOLLARS FOR A NEW SUNROOF, 10 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND MY CAR WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN. HAD THE COVER NOT BEEN CLOSED, SHARDS OF GLASS WOULD HAVE RAINED DOWN ON ME AS WELL AS MY SON IN THE BACKSEAT. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED EITHER FROM THE GLASS OR AN ACCIDENT.
