NHTSA Complaint #10893248 — 2013 FORD EDGE

DRIVE'S SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY DISPLAYS. INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT DIM BECAUSE CAR THINKS DOOR IS OPEN WHEN LATCH IS SECURE. IN ADDITION, DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED. AS A WOMAN WHO TRAVELS A LOT AND GETS IN HER CAR, ALONE, OFTEN LATE AT NIGHT, I DO TRULY BELIEVE THIS TO BE A TERRIBLY SAFETY ISSUE!!! DOME LIGHTS OFTEN REMAIN ON EVEN WHEN CAR IS OFF A NO ONE IS IN IT. I FEAR IT COULD DRAIN THE BATTERY DEAD WHEN CAR LEFT IN PARK AND OFF. IN ADDITION, I OFTEN HAVE DIFFICULTIES WITH THE CAR'S SYNC SYSTEM AND THE CAR ALMOST ALWAYS HAS EXHAUST/FUEL FUMES WHEN TRAVELING ABOVE 60 MPH. I DON'T KNOW IF ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE RELATED, BUT WITH A VEHICLE SO DEPENDANT ON ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS FOR OPERATION I WORRY ABOUT A LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE!!!
