2012 Ford Edge exterior lighting problems

“MY VEHICLE EXHIBITS ILLUMINATED DOME LIGHTS AND DOOR AJAR MESSAGES WHEN DOORS ARE FULLY CLOSED. I GET ERROR MESSAGES INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING OF DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ALSO STAY ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN I HAVE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LOCKED THE DOORS, DRAINING BATTERY. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF FORD'S VOLUNTARY EXTENSION OF DOOR LATCH WARRANTY THROUGH JULY 2020. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT. MY CAR BEGAN EXHIBITING THE DEFECT IN NOVEMBER 2020. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM ALARMED AND CANNOT SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS SUDDENLY POP ON. I ALSO FEAR MY CHILD WILL OPEN THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING AS THE "LOCK" FEATURE IS UNRELIABLE DUE TO THE DEFECT. IN ADDITION, IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO PARK MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT NOT KNOWING IF I WILL HAVE A DRAINED BATTERY LATER BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO SHUT OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS.”

“HEADLIGHTS HAVE BURNED OUT 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. BOTH HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT. BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAMS BURN OUT AT THE SAME TIME. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED WITHIN 3 MONTHS AND 1 HAS ALREADY BURNED OUT. THE DEALER IS RECOMMENDING REPLACEMENT OF BOTH ASSEMBLIES AT ACOST OF 1400+. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT INVOLVING THIS AREA.”

“SAFETY ISSUE DOOR AJAR LIGHT NOT TURNING OFF WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION POSING A SAFETY THREAT TO FAMILY. BATTERY HAS DIED MULTIPLE DAYS TIMES AND REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY.”

“MY DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR SENSOR KEEPS SAYING IT IS OPEN WHEN IT ISN'T. THIS CAUSES ME TO DRIVE WITH THE LIGHT ON UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY TURNS OFF. WHEN I PARK AND LOCK THE CAR THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A LONG WHILE. AND THE ALARM EVEN BEEPS TWICE TELLING ME THE LIGHT IS ON/IT THINKS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN WHEN IT'S NOT.”

“MY CAR IS A 2012 FORD EDGE AND HAS HAD PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCHES AND THE LIGHTS, AND THE SHIFTER I HAVE HAD THIS CAR IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT DOING AGAIN. THE CAR WHEN STARTED IT SAY TO PUT IN PARK AND SHIFT TO DRIVE AND DOORS DOES NOT LOCK AND ALL THE LIGHTS STAY ON IN THE CAR”

“I GET READY TO START MY DAY AS USUAL I GO AND START MY VEHICLE (STATIONARY) TO WARM IT UP, AS I GOT READY TO SET THE TEMPERATURE IN THE SUV I NOTICED THE BOTTOM TOUCH PANEL DID NOT LIGHT UP. SO I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE HEAT THAT WAS BLOWING AND IT DIDNT TURN OFF, I TRIED AND AGAIN AND NOTHING. ITS TO HOT IN TEXAS WITH LITTLE CHILDREN TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT EFFECT THE AIR CONDITIONING. I PUSHED OTHER BUTTONS TO SEE IF ANYTHING WORKED AND STILL NOTHING, THE HAZARD LIGHTS WILL NOT FUNCTION NOR WILL THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS. MY FAMILY AND I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO MY DESTINATION AFTERWARDS I HAD THE FUSES TESTED THEY ARE GOOD, BUT WAS TOLD IT IS FRONT INTERFACE CONTROL MODULE. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND HOPEFULLY A FORD DEALERSHIP CAN GIVE A BETTER DIAGNOSIS THAN AUTO PART STORE.”
