NHTSA Complaint #10654153 — 2013 FORD EDGE

WHILE DRIVING - EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING SIGN APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN ACCOMPANIED BY THE SOUND OF A CHIME. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU OPEN AND SHUT THE DRIVER DOOR WHETHER WHILE STILL DRIVING OR IF AND WHEN YOU FIND A SIDE OF THE ROAD SPACE, THE WARNING SIGN DISAPPEARS. BUT OFTENTIMES, IT TAKES 3 OR FOUR TRIES TO MAKE IT DISAPPEAR. SOMETIMES THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING COMES WITH AN INSTRUCTION TO SHIFT TO P (PARK) . . . . WHICH IS HELPFUL IF YOU CAN FIND A SIDE OF THE ROAD SPOT OTHERWISE THE INSTRUCTION WILL JUST CONFUSE A NOVICE DRIVER AND COULD POTENTIALLY CREATE AN ACCIDENT. I SEARCH THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON WITH FORD EDGE. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY CREATE AN ACCIDENT AND WARRANTS A RECALL. *TR
