NHTSA Complaint #10913667 — 2010 FORD EDGE

I AM REPORTING A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE WARNING MONITOR SENSOR SYSTEMS ON MY 2010 FORD EDGE. AS YOU MAY KNOW THERE IS A 'DOOR AJAR SENSOR' NOTIFICATION SYSTEM NOTIFYING THE DRIVER OF A DOOR BEING AJAR. THE PROBLEM IS THE SENSOR CONSTANTLY FAILS WHEN THE DOOR IS NOT AJAR OR SEEMS TO NOT BE AJAR. THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WHEN THERE IS THE DISPLAY ONE: 'NOT SURE DOORS ARE LOCKED, ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE IS TRANSPORTING CHILDREN. 'CAN NOT LOCK THE CAR DOORS ' THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. ALSO, WITH THE GREAT INCREASE IN 'CAR JACKINGS', NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS MAKES THE FAMILY VERY VULNERABLE. 'NEXT, THE DISPLAY LEAVES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON PUTTING AN UNNECESSARY DRAIN ON THE CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS COULD ADVERSELY SAFETY OF THE OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS CAUSING A FAILURE IN TRAFFIC. 'THE WARNING MESSAGE NEVER TIMES OUT AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY PREVENTING OTHER WARNING MESSAGES OR THE SYSTEM BACK UP OBSERVATION FROM WORKING. FORD HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY PROBLEM.
