NHTSA Complaint #10896469 — 2013 FORD EDGE

THE PASSENGER LEFT REAR DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED. THE SENSOR IS LOCATED ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN.THE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED WHILE DRIVING EVEN THOU THEY LOCK YOU CAN STILL OPEN THE LOCKED DOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE A CHILD WHO CAN OPEN THE DOOR AT ANY TIME SINCE THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK! ANOTHER HUGE ISSUE IS BECAUSE THE DOOR SENSOR IS SAYING THE DOOR IS OPEN IT DRAINS THE BATTERY BECAUSE THE LIGHTS STAY ON LONGER. I HAVE ALREADY HAVE TO BEEN JUMPED ONCE AND GET THE BATTERY SAVER IS OFF POP UP ON MY SCREEN WHEN TURNING OFF MY CAR. THE SENSOR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS NOW. MY CAR IS ONLY A 2013 WITH 39000 MILES.
