NHTSA Complaint #10914049 — 2012 FORD EDGE

SOON AFTER PURCHASING A USED 2012 EDGE, THE OPEN DOOR LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. ALL DOORS WERE CLOSED. ALSO THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON WHICH BECAME A SAFETY HAZARD PARTICULARLY WHEN TRANSPORTING CHILDREN. BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE DOOR LATCH AND LIGHT SWITCH WAS ONE MODULE AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $500. ONCE REPLACED THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS IS A REALLY COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL ITS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED!
