NHTSA Complaint #10965879 — 2012 FORD EDGE

DOOR SENSOR ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN CONTINUING SINCE EARLY 2015, NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. CURRENTLY MY "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR APPEARS EVEN THOUGH MY DOOR IS CLOSED, EVEN AFTER BEING SLAMMED SHUT. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR ALONG WITH PASSENGER SIDE DOOR CONTINUE TO SAY OPEN AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN CLOSED AND I AM DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING I CANNOT MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR, THEY JUST AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK ON ITS OWN. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE, ESPECIALLY DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN. HIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED ME TO REPLACE MY BATTERY SOONER THAN NEEDED BECAUSE THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A LONG TIME, ALSO RANDOMLY TURN ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I ALSO CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS BECAUSE THAN THE ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY THINKING THE DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED. SO WETHER DRIVING OR PARKED, THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM.
