NHTSA Complaint #10954881 — 2013 FORD EDGE

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH A MESSAGE TELLING ME THAT THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR. THE MESSAGE TELLS ME TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE DOOR. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES TO GET THE MESSAGE OFF, SOMETIMES IT WILL WORK BUT MOST OF THE TIME I END UP SHUTTING AND RESHUTTING THE DOOR TO GET THE MESSAGE OFF. AND WHILE THE MESSAGE IS ON THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. SOMETIMES I SPEND HOURS TRYING TO GET THE MESSAGE OFF. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS A SENSOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. A RECALL MUST BE MADE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, IN ADDITION TO THE LIGHTS STAYING ON, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND NOT SAFE. ALSO, I AM WORRIED THAT THE BATTERY WILL RUN DOWN. I AM GETTING TO THE POINT THAT I DON'T EVEN WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR.
