NHTSA Complaint #10916689 — 2012 FORD EDGE

ISSUE - 'SHIFT TO PARK' WARNING INDICATOR IS SHOWN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND THE SHIFTER IS IN THE 'P' POSITION. DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED AND INTERNAL/EXTERNAL LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHILE IN THIS 'SHIFT TO PARK' POSITION DRAINING THE BATTERY. WHILE FOOT BRAKE PEDAL IS ENGAGED, SHIFTING AWAY FROM 'P' AND BACK TO 'P' SOMETIMES REGISTERS THE VEHICLE AS IN THE CORRECT PARK POSITION. REPEAT UNTIL WARNING MESSAGE IS GONE. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY ON A FLAT SURFACE BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THE VEHICLE IS REALLY PARKED SINCE IT'S WARNING I'M NOT BUT THE SHIFTER IS IN THE 'P' POSITION. I DARE NOT TRY THIS ON A HILL--AND ALWAYS THE BRAKE PEDAL ENGAGED WHILE I'M FIDDLING WITH THE HAND SHIFTER. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK FOR A YEAR. *TR
