NHTSA Complaint #10959872 — 2011 FORD EDGE

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SENSOR IS BROKEN, CAUSING THE CAR TO KEEP INTERIOR LIGHTS ON FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS ON AND DRIVING. THIS CAUSES DIFFICULTY DRIVING IN THE DARK AS VISION IS HINDERED. THE LIGHTS ALSO STAY ON FOR 10-15 MINUTES AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND LOCKED, AND WILL ALSO COME ON AT INTERMITTENT PERIODS OF TIME WHILE THE CAR IS OFF. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES THE CAR BATTERY TO DRAIN, RESULTING IN A DEAD CAR BATTERY. THE CAR DOORS DO NOT LOCK ONCE THE CAR IS ON AND THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT IS INDICATED. THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT MAY COME ON EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN IN A DAY OR MAY ONLY COME ON PERIODICALLY OVER SEVERAL DAYS. WHEN ON, THE LIGHT INDICATOR WILL STAY ON WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.
