NHTSA Complaint #11066954 — 2013 FORD EDGE

DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON REGARDLESS THAT DOORS ARE PROPERLY LATCHED. HAZARDS: UNABLE TO LOCK DOORS DUE TO THE FACT THAT VEHICLE BELIEVES DOOR IS OPEN. WAS RECENTLY IN A BAD AREA OF TOWN IN A PARKING LOT AND WAS UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS FOR MYSELF AND INFANT. OVERHEAD LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF BECAUSE VEHICLE BELIEVES DOOR IS OPEN. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT (ESPECIALLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAYS) IT IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO SEE BECAUSE THE DOME LIGHT REMAINS ON. BACK WINDOW IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF IN THE DARK WITH THE DOME LIGHT ON. DOME LIGHT WILL OVER GO OVER AFTER REACHING A CERTAIN SPEED. THESE ARE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES! NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK DOORS ARE VERY SERIOUS ISSUES! AFTER THIS MANY COMPLAINTS, FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO PERFORM A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE! THIS IS NOT A $20 PART THAT NEEDS REPLACED, IT'S A $450-$500 REPAIR ISSUE THAT SOME FAMILIES DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR!
