NHTSA Complaint #10938012 — 2012 FORD EDGE

ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. THIS HAS CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYING ON ALL THE TIME. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP, THE "SHIFT TO PARK" WARNING COMES ON ALONG WITH THE DOOR CHIME. FORD CLAIMS IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND QUOTED ~$400 TO REPLACE (~$250 IF IT COULD BE "REPAIRED"). A FEW WEEKS AGO, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE AJAR LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OUT. DUE TO THIS, WE CAN NO LONGER LOCK THE REAR DOOR WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE LOCATION OF OUR CHILD'S SEAT! ALSO, WE NO LONGER CAN TELL IF THE DOORS ARE PROPERLY CLOSED OR NOT. *TR
