Very strange. I'm all primed-up to call the dealer today for an appointment. This morning I start the car and suddenly SYNC logo lights up and it starts booting-up after being dead for 2 days, wtf ??? Now it's working flawlessly again.....Not sure what to do now.

Omar 302, Thank you very much for taking the time to find the recall notice. I'm make an appointment w/ the dealer tomorrow. Will check back in later. Have a great day...

No change, screen still black.... will see if dealer will fix under warranty. If there are other options like aftermarket systems that integrate and mimick OEM ....... please chime in. Thanks

This is good news, thank you. Was there a letter sent to owners about this for the Edge? Where can I get a copy to bring to the dealer? In the mean time I'll try disconnecting the battery and pull fuse 29. Thanks again

Hello need some help for my 2012 limited, 60k miles. All was fine w/ the nav system until today when I started it up and the screen was black. Thought it was rebooting but sync icon or FORD logo never came on while driving for an hour. I disconnected the battery for a minute then reconnected.....radio came on for awhile, but screen still black. Radio went out after a minute, screen still black. Aside from disconnecting the battery is there anything else I should try??

Rattles come from odd places. I had loose change in storage bin between front seats, removed it, no more rattle. Also check the spare tire area....

I did.....fix it. Not all of us have the skill or time to waste on something that should have been corrected long ago.....by Ford.

Yes, I agree, it sucks. I honestly want to by American, but this is a very common and biggest issue w/ this car. Is been going on for years with cars 36-60K miles. The company ignores what owners are complaining about, but will be glad to charge you $500 - $600 to fix. I personally replaced the latch device in my drivers door. Man what a mess of a design it is to service. They try to combine 3 separate systems onto one door plate......Ahhh. The whole inside has to be removed. What happened to the simple plunger switch that other makes use?

Would you bet your life on that? I mean in an accident, the airbags may not deploy! The edge is not the only Ford product this design is used on. In this forum, someone took the module apart and all these safety systems (door locks, security) depend on a flimsy little micro-switch the Ford has selected...

Too early to tell, only Ford and svc knows. Just want to caution potential buyers that this problem has been around a long time and Ford, in previous years continues to use this design and does not offer a recall or any incentive to correct this safety issue..... Consider extended warranty if you intend to own.

Not necessarily high mileage or many years. It becomes a headache because it's an intermittent problem. Dome lights stay on, can't lock doors, and alarm is disabled. Very embarrassed to have to slam the door 5-6 times to turnoff lights and protect battery. Leasing gets you off the hook as far as repair $$$, but you will be inconvenienced on the street and at the dealer. My post is more of a notice to owners....

Hello, Here are the reasons I posted here: 1. Regardless of customer complaints through the past several years, Ford continues to use this latch design. Hopefully, someone in corporate will take notice and finally do something about it. This is a safety hazard and should not be used on new product. I'm reasonably sure Ford people look at and are aware of this forum. 2. Many of us Edge owners are frustrated and want to advise potential buyers to be aware of this problem history and repeated use of this design. This system is also used on other ford cars and trucks. 3. If someone decides to purchase, they better consider buying extended warranty b/c most of the time the sensor fails just after the factory warranty expires. It is expensive to fix. This was also posted in the electrical section of this forum.

Hello Ford and FORD ENGINEERING this includes Lincoln too. Pay attention to what owners are saying about this DOOR AJAR SWITCH problem, its a big one!! Do something about it. It is a safety issue, doors don't lock, air bag may not deploy, alarm is disabled, also will kill your battery if you are not aware...This is happening on cars one or two years old. Look at this link: http://www.aboutauto...ectrical System How much more criticism do you need before acting on this?? It's been a problem on the EDGE/MKX since inception. The EDGE/MKX is a very nice vehicle, but this problem is a real headache and would not buy another. At least offer a rebate on the cost of the device at minimum.

This process works for a few days, but the problem will reappear. As you continue to reapply WD 40 (or electrical contact cleaner) the problem will get worse with time. I went thru this already slamming door repeatedly until light went out. I would not wish this head ache on anyone. Save yourself the aggravation, look up the p/n or call the dealer for it. If you cannot do the repair, get it done by a local (trusted) mechanic. I have the part and will be installing it this w/e. Good luck

Hi Russ, Not familiar w/ Glass Elephant, can you send a web link?
