NHTSA Complaint #10704577 — 2011 FORD EDGE

I STARTED GETTING A MESSAGE DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. THIS DID NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO LOCK PROPERLY (TWO BEEPS INSTEAD OF ONE BEEP). ALSO, THE INTERIOR LIGHT DID NOT GO OUT. THIS IS NOW OCCURRING WHEN I GET INTO THE CAR AND TRY TO DRIVE OFF. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, HOWEVER IS NOW HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. SOMETIMES YOU CAN LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR LOCK SEVERAL TIMES AND THE MESSAGE WILL GO OUT AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT WILL GO OFF. SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY IT WILL GO OUT IS BY SLAMMING THE DOOR. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE A RECALL IF SO MANY CUSTOMERS WITH DIFFERENT FORD/MERCURY VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DEALER LOOK AT MY CAR TOMORROW. I CAN'T CONTINUE DRIVING IT WITH THESE HAZARDS.
