NHTSA Complaint #11016449 — 2011 FORD EDGE

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR DOES NOTHING AND THE LIGHT REMAINING ON IS INTERMITTENT, WITH NO RHYME OR REASON. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED, AND THE CAR IS IN DRIVE, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON FOR ABOUT 60 SECONDS, THEN GO OUT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY BOTHERSOME WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AS IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. ADDITIONALLY, ALL DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE THE CAR IS ON THE ROAD. WHEN PARKED, WITH ALL DOORS CLOSED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL REMAIN ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES - UP TO 20 THAT I'VE WITNESSED. THE CAR ALARM WILL ALSO BE TRIGGERED AFTER SOME TIME. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY ALREADY ONCE AND HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO $1000 TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO PREVENT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT FROM STAYING ON.
