NHTSA Complaint #10966431 — 2013 FORD EDGE

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH SEEMS TO BE FAILING. MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ONE WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. I'M NOT SURE IF IT ACTUALLY IS OR NOT. IT HAS YET TO OPEN ON ITS ON, BUT UPON SOME RESEARCH IT APPEARS THIS COULD HAPPEN. WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SAYS ITS AJAR THE DOORS WON'T LOCK. I'VE HAD TO OPEN AND CLOSE MY DOOR A DOZEN TIMES JUST TO GET THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I'VE ALSO HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE OF GETTING IN THE CAR AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON. THEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, START MY WAY DOWN THE ROAD ONLY FOR THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT TO COME ON AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AS WELL. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THOUGH, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON IMMEDIATELY. AGAIN, I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S SENSOR, OR IF THE DOOR LATCH IS MALFUNCTIONING. I'M NOT SURE IF THE DOOR IS EVEN LATCHED WHEN I'M DRIVING. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COSTLY ISSUE TO REPAIR. FORD SEEMS TO HAVE DONE A RECALL ON CERTAIN MAKES EXCEPT THE EDGE.
