NHTSA Complaint #10594193 — 2012 FORD EDGE

THE 2012 FORD EDGE DOOR SENSOR HAS GONE BAD IN MY CAR. NOTHING HAPPENED OR CHANGED, BUT HAVE READ 100'S OF INCIDENTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT STARTS WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR, AND THE DOOR SENSOR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. YOU OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR 1-2 TIMES AND IT GOES OFF. NO BIG DEAL. OVER TIME, YOU HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE 5-10 TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DOOR IS SHUT. NOT LONG AFTER THAT, THE SENSOR WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON. ULTIMATE, WILL NOT GO OFF AT ALL. SOUNDS LIKE IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL UNTIL YOU REALIZE THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE DOOR SENSOR IS ON, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, AND THE ALARM WILL NOT SET. WITH HAVING CHILDREN IN THE BACK, THEY CAN OPEN THE DOORS ON THE HIGHWAY AT ANY TIME. NOT TO MENTION NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK YOUR CAR DOORS IN GENERAL IS UNSAFE. ALSO, THIS AFFECTS THE BATTERY BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WON'T SHUT OFF. FORD HAS YET TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. *TR
