NHTSA Complaint #10870965 — 2013 FORD EDGE

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS KEEPS DOME LIGHTS ON AND SIDE MIRROR LIGHTS ALONG WITH THE DOORS NOT LOCKING WHICH IS A SECURE/SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO THE FACT THAT THE DOME LIGHT CAN BLIND THE DRIVER AT NIGHT AND THIS RUNS THE BATTERY DOWN. FORD DEALERSHIPS SAY ITS A KNOWN DEFECT FOR NEW AND USED VEHICLES AND I OPENED UP A CASE WITH FORD AND THEY REFUSE TO OFFSET THE COSTS TO FIX IT. THEY JUST SAY KEEP YOUR RECEIPT IN CASE THEY EVER DO A RECALL. THERE IS A PETITION ON LINE BECAUSE IT AFFECTS SO MANY PEOPLE. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS TO AVOID LAWSUITS! ITS A BURDEN TO CONSUMERS BECAUSE THE COST TO FIX IS OVER $500 AT A DEALERSHIP. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. MY WIFE AND BABY ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE THE LIGHT WON'T GO OFF AT NIGHT AND BLINDS HER VIEW. PLUS IT HAS LEFT HER STRANDED AT WORK WITH A DEAD BATTERY. SEE LINK FOR DETAILS.
