NO REPAIR YET. My 2012 Ford Edge has developed a problem that is often reported on the 2013 Ford Edge. When the driver door is closed it often gives an alert saying the driver door is ajar/open. The car will remind you every time you start up from a stop which can become annoying as well as the doors can't be locked. The suggestion is to place the car in park and close the door. A lot of the times that doesn't work. We found if we keep it in drive and "crawl" down the driveway (under 5 mph) then open it while moving, it will delete the alert. If that doesn't work, I have found that if the passenger window is opened prior to the driver door being closed, the alert normally doesn't come on. All else fails we drive with the alarm reminding us :-(

Was driving back from Colorado to MN and lost acceleration power in Pueblo, CO. Limped it to a garage, and they said it was the fuel pump, but garage was closing at 5 and couldn't do it til Monday. We got directions to FORD, and they could not get part until Monday, so we had to stay in Pueblo 2 nights, until they could get to it on Monday. It was the Fuel pump.
