NHTSA Complaint #10917883 — 2013 FORD EDGE

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN A YEAR AND 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON. IT COMES ON EVERYTIME I START THE CAR. A MESSAGE APPEARS SAYING TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE DOOR, I HAVE DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE TIRED DRIVING FORWARD AND OPENING THE DOOR THEN SHUTTING IT WHILE STILL DRIVING FORWARD SLOWLY (SOMETIMES THIS WILL WORK TEMPORARILY) AND I HAVE ALSO TIRED DOING THE SAME IN REVERSE. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND BEEN TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TEST IS GOING TO COST $120 PLUS TAX THEN THE PARTS AND LABOR SO I'M LOOKING AT A COST OF $500 OR MORE! FORD KNOWS THIS VEHICLE HAS THIS ISSUE, SO WHY DON'T THEY DO A RECALL. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WHERE WE HAVE BEAR AND MOUNTAIN LIONS AND I STAND OUTSIDE FOR 10 MINUTES OR MORE WAITING FOR THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO GO OFF, WHEN THEY STILL DON'T, I AROUND THE CAR AND OPEN AND CLOSE ALL THE DOORS AGAIN AND WAIT SOME MORE. (AS A WOMEN I TRULY AM NERVOUS WHILE I'M OUT THERE) NOT TO MENTION HAVING TO DRIVE AT NIGHT HOPING I WON'T GET A TICKET BECAUSE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. NO WONDER WHY CONSUMERS GET MAD AND DON'T WANT TO BUY AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS ANYMORE. COME ON FORD MAKE THE RECALL HAPPEN ALREADY!!!!! *TR
