NHTSA Complaint #10865093 — 2012 FORD EDGE

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ALARM ALWAYS GOES OFF. CONSTANT DINGING, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 1 BATTERY ALREADY. DRIVING AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN REVERSE, IS TERRIBLY DIFFICULT WITH THE LIGHTS ON. THE DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT, HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT STOP THE ALARM. THE OTHER ISSUE I'VE HAD IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE BRAKES SO GOT THOSE FIXED AND THEN STOPPING WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ENTIRELY TO THE FLOOR TO COME TO A SLOW STOP. SHOULD I HAVE HAD TO COME TO A QUICK STOP, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE. MY HUSBAND DID SOME RESEARCH TO SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SO WE WENT TO GET IT REPAIRED. HOWEVER, IT WAS COSTLY AND COULD HAVE BEEN A TOTAL DISASTER. THE CAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME.
