2011 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

HAVE A "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT ON 90% OF THE TIME WHEN THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DO NOT GO OFF UNLESS ENGINE IS STARTED. THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGE VEHICLES, YET FORD DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO RECALL. WHY? THIS IS NOT A CHEAP OR EASY FIX FOR THE CONSUMER.

2011 FORD EDGE. PASSENGER DOOR STARTED SAYING DOOR AJAR ERROR. HAVE TRIED ALL THE QUICK FIXES NONE OF THEM HAVE WORKED. HAVE SLAMMED AND REOPENED AND RECLOSED. HAVE TRIED PUTTING THE KEY IN AND TURNING IT OFF AND ON. DOESN'T WORK . HAVE TTIED SPRAYING THE LATCH WITH BRAKE CLEANER AND WD40. IT'S MAKING MY INSIDE LIGHT STAY ON. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO IF IT WON'T GO OFF. IT'S GOING TO KILL MY BATTERY. IT'S TO THE POINT WHERE I'M AFRAID TO LET ANYONE IN ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. BC ONCE IT SAYS THAT IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET THE LIGOT TO GO OUT. SUCKS SO BAD. SO AGGRAVATING WHEN I CAN'T GET THE INSIDE LIGHTS TO GO OUT OR THE CAR TO LOCK. THIS SUCKS!!! ALSO MY DIGITAL SCREEN IS CONSTANTLY LOCKING UP GOING BLACK AND WON'T HOLD MY BLUETOOTH CONNECTION. I HATE THIS CAR....

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH SENSOR INDICATES DOOR AJAR CONTINUALLY WHEN IT IS NOT AJAR. THIS RESULTS IN INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINING ON FOR A WHILE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNLESS MESSAGE IS ACKNOWLEDGED ON DRIVERS PANEL. DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED. LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHEN EXITING AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED UNDER WARRANTY IN 2012 AND DOOR LATCH WAS REPLACED. NOW IT HAS OCCURRED AGAIN AND WILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT NUISANCE AND POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THE NUMBER OF IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS IN THIS DATABASE CLEARLY INDICATES TO ME THAT A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM EXISTS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED WHICH CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND MAKING IT HARD TO SEE TO BACK UP AT NIGHT. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WHEN THIS SENSOR STAYS ON WHICH IS ESPECIALLY UNSAFE FOR TRANSPORTING CHILDREN OR SECURING YOURSELF IN YOUR CAR IN LESS THAN FAVORABLE CONDITIONS. BATTERY CAN RUN DOWN WITH LIGHTS STAYING ON LEAVING YOU STRANDED.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED CAUSING DOORS TO REMAIN UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY REPLACE BACK IN JULY 2013 AT A COST OF $309. THE SAME ISSUE HAS REOCCURRED NEARLY 3 YRS. LATER. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO STATED SENSOR COULD NEED CLEANING FOR A COST OF $180 OR LATCH REPLACEMENT MIGHT BE REQUIRED AGAIN AT OVER $300. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

MY DRIVER DOOR KEEPS AJAR WHEN I FULLY CLOSED IT. I HAVE SLAM MANY TIMES.THE ALARM SYSTEM GOES OFF LATER VERY OFTEN .

DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON DESPITE DOOR BEING SECURELY CLOSED WHICH PREVENTS DOOR FROM AUTO LOCKING AT SPEEDS OVER 15 MILES AN HOUR OR BEING ABLE TO BE LOCKED USING CONTROL PANEL OUTSIDE. POSES HAZARD AS IT CAN REGISTER AJAR WHILE DRIVING AND UNLOCK THE DOOR AT RANDOM.

FAULTY DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY. FORD KNOWS OF ISSUE IN TSB'S. DOORS WON'T LOCK AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DUE TO DOOR AJAR BEING SENSED.

DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON WHILE DOOR IS SHUT. THE DOORS ARE UNABLE TO LOCK WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND DOME LIGHTS REMAIN LIT AT NIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE.

WHEN STATIONARY AND 1ST STARTED IT WILL STATE THAT THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS CLEARLY CLOSED. THIS HAS CAUSED MY DOORS NOT TO LOCK AND THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH.

DRIVER DOOR OPEN KEEPS SHOWING UP EVEN WHEN THEN DOOR IS SHUT. THIS RESULTS IN INSIDE LIGHTS NOT SHUTTING OFF AND OTHERS ANNOYING THINGS AS WELL. I AM HAVING TO RESHOT THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT SAFE. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE?

INTERIOR LIGHTING STAYS ON WHEN IN PARK OR DRIVING BECAUSE OF DOOR SWITCH MALFUNCTION SAYING DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS IN FACT CLOSED CREATES DRIVING HAZARD WHEN LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF AND GLARING OFF WINDSHIELD MAKING DRIVING AT NIGHT DANGERS PLEASE MAKE A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SENSOR IS SAYING THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS OPEN AND EVENTHOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS LEAVES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AND DRAINS THE BATTERY. THIS ORIGINALLY HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP "CLEANED" THE LATCH AND IT QUIT, THEN IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AND NOW THEY WANT TO REPLACE IT AND HAVE ME PAY FOR IT.

DOOR AJAR WARNING. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN A NUMBER OF WAYS. THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN DRIVING OFF. WHEN DARK OUT, IT'S HARD TO SEE, ESPECIALLY BACKING UP. ALSO THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK SINCE IT THINKS A DOOR IS STILL OPEN.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING. ELECTRICAL/SENSOR FAULT CAUSING DOORS TO NOT LOCK. RESULTS IN LIGHTS STAYING ON AND DEPLETES THE BATTERY.

DOOR SENSOR, LATCH ISSUES. KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FORD VEHICLES. DOOR AJAR STAYS ON WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY HENCE THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON. MY FORD EDGE WILL NOT LOCK, CAUSING VERY DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN DRIVING OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT IN AN AREA THAT IS UNSAFE. WILL NOT LOCK WHILE PARKED, IN DRIVE (ON HIGHWAY OR ROAD) OR WITH THE IGNITION TURNED OFF. I WAS OVER MY WARRANTY BY 1,000 MILES AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSED TO HELP ME, TOLD ME TO TAKE IT IN AND PAY FOR THE WORK AND SERVICE CALL AND SUBMIT A CLAIM.

DOOR LATCH CENSURE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, IT INDICATES THE DOOR IS OPEN ALL OF THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED ALSO. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR SWITCH AND THE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

I OWN A 2011 FORD EDGE. NOT LONG AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT MY FRONT DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON. MY DOOR WAS DEFINITELY CLOSED BUT THE LIGHT REMAINS ON. THIS CAUSES THE DOOR LOCKS TO NOT LOCK THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I PARK THE CAR THE EXTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRRORS DOWN LIGHT STAYS ON, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON AND SOME DASH LIGHTS. I'VE GONE OUT TO THE GARAGE 4 HOURS AFTER I'VE GOTTEN HOME AND FOUND THEM STILL ON. YES I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AFTER FINDING IT DEAD. NOW THE REAR DRIVERS DOOR IS SHOWING ITS AJAR ON MY DASH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS WITH MY GRANDKIDS IN THE BACK SEAT. I CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS WHEN I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT OR THROUGH SCAREY AREAS.I TRAVEL WITH MY HUSBAND WHO IS HANDICAPPED AND I CAN'T BE SURE THAT...

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ALWAYS SAYS IS AJAR CAUSING MY FIANC TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THE DOME LIGHTS ON. SHE ALREADY HAS TROUBLE SEEING AT NIGHT AND THIS IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE DOOR IS CLEARLY CLOSED. I NOTICED THE DOOR SENSORS ARE BUILT INTO THE LATCH SO I LOOKED UP HOW HARD IT WOULD BE TO CHANGE WITH THE PART O AMAZON AND CAME ACROSS HUNDREDS MAYBE EVEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ALL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS ISN'T A RECALL WITH SO MANY VEHICLES MALFUNCTIONING OVER MANY MANY YEARS! DO THE RIGHT THING! LIVES ARE AT STAKE! IF YOU DO RIGHT BY YOUR CUSTOMERS WE WILL CONTINUE TO BUY YOUR GREAT PRODUCTS! BUT NOT AT THE COST OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THIS CONTINUES. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

DOOR AJAR SENSOR WILL NOT GO OFF AND HAS LED TO THE DOME LIGHT NOT SHUTTING OFF AND WILL KILL THE BATTERY. TAKES 10-15 MINUTES OF OPENING AND SHUTTING BOTH DOORS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. IF I DON'T DO THIS I WILL END UP WITH A DEAD BATTERY! USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN I START MY CAR OR GET OUT OF MY CAR. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A COUPLE TIMES WHEN WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR AND DOME LIGHT COME ON. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.

MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A 2011 FORD EDGE ON OCTOBER 28, 2015 WITH PREMIUM CARE EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN. WE ASKED BEFORE WE TOOKED THE PLAN WHAT WAS COVERED. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO US THAT IT WAS COVERED FROM BUMPER TO BUMPER FOR 36,000 MILES OR 36 MONTHS. WE HAVE A ISSUE WITH OUR SUNROOF NOT CLOSING WHEN STATIONARY. YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE BUTTON AND PULL IT SHUT. THEY EXPLAINED TO US THAT THEE WARRANTY COVERS THE MOTOR WHICH THEY HAVE ALREADY REPLACED AND IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT IS THE TRACK AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IS NOT COVERED, I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THE TRACK SHOULD HAVE NOT GONE BAD THAT SOON. THE ONLY THING WE WERE GIVEN SHOWING WHAT THE PREMIUM CARE WARRANTY COVER IS A PARTIAL LIST. WHEN YOU...

DASHBOARD DISPLAYS DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WHEN DOOR IS LOCKED. DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND ALARM SYSTEM CANNOT BE ARMED.

CLOSED DOOR SENSOR FAULTY. CAUSES INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON, DOORS FAIL TO REMAIN LOCKED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE.

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I CLOSE THE DOOR IT WILL STAY ON. IT WILL STAY ON WHEN I'M DRIVING AND STATIONARY.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON.

WHEN I GO TO SHUT MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IT TELLS ME THAT'S IT'S NOT SHUT WHEN IT DEFINITELY IS. THIS CAUSES MY INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON. IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES OF OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR FOR IT TO FINALLY REGISTER THAT THE DOOR IS INDEED SHUT. IT DIDN'T START UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT HAPPENED MAYBE ONCE A MONTH BUT RECENTLY IT'S BEEN EVERY TIME I GET INTO THE VEHICLE.

DOOR SENSOR FAILS TO REGISTER THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. WON'T ALLOW DOORS TO LOCK WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. SENSOR WILL RANDOMLY FAIL, CAUSING THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON, SOMETIMES DRAINING THE BATTERY. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM, AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. FORD IS UNWILLING TO COVER REPAIR COSTS AND WILL NOT WARRANTY THEIR WORK IF YOU HAVE THEM REPAIR IT.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WITH ALL DOORS CLOSED. THE DRIVERS DOOR IS THE ONE AFFECTED. THIS TURNS ON THE DOME LIGHT WHICH CAN CAUSE THE BATTERY TO DRAIN LEAVING A PERSON STRANDED. ALSO, IT CAUSES THE BRAKE AND PARKING LIGHTS TO COME ON WITH NO ONE IN THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT ALSO PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHETHER THE CAR IS TURNED ON OR NOT. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH. I HAD FORD REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IN THE PAST. I HAVE IT IN THE FORD DEALER AGAIN TODAY FOR THE SAME REPAIR. I'VE UPLOADED THE RECEIPT FROM FIRST REPAIR. MY CAR IS STILL BEING WORKED ON AT FORD DEALERSHIP AND I DON'T HAVE THE RECEIPT YET FOR THE SECOND REPAIR. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON...

DRIVER DOOR SENSOR SHOWS DOOR OPEN AND IT IS CLOSED. LIGHT STAYS ON AND DOORS WILL NOT LOCK.

TAKATA RECALL. THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. WILL NOT GO OFF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU SHUT THE DOOR, THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON, RUNDS THE BATTERY DEAD. I HAVE TRIED EVERY THING INCLUDING WD 40. I BELIEVE IT IS THE SENSOR BUT I AM NOT A MECHANIC SO.... I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT EVERYONE THAT OWNS A FORD EDGE HAS THIS ISSUE. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.MY DRIVER DOOR HAS AT TIMES NOT LATCHED COMPLETELY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. FORD NEEDS TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND RECALL THIS ISSUE FOR EVERY ONE THAT OWNS A FORD EDGE. I HAVE BOUGHT FORDS FOR YEARS. THIS WILL BE MY LAST. THIS ISSUE IS EVERYTIME YOU ENTER THE VEHICLE. STATIONARY,...

HAVE STARTED TO RECEIVE "DOOR AJAR WARNING" INDICATION WHEN THE DRIVER DOOR IS CLOSED. HAVE RESEARCHED ON-LINE SITES AND FOUND IT TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL FORD VEHICLE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A PERSONAL SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE'S DOORS WILL REMAIN UNLOCKED UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED. IF I GET THE WARNING TO GO AWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY THE DOORS WILL LOCK AND I CAN BEGIN MY DRIVE. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AS I AM DRIVING THE WARNING WILL RETURN AND THE DOORS WILL UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. THIS CAN BE VERY UNNERVING AND FRIGHTENING AT TIMES AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON AS PART OF THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT THE DRIVER'S VISION IS COMPROMISED BY THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DRAWN AWAY FROM THE ROAD. IN ADDITION, THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE'S OCCUPANTS IS COMPROMISED AS THE DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED. THIS...

DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON AND DOME LIGHTS STAY ON. CAR WONT START AT TIMES.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLEARLY CLOSED. THE CAR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED; I PRESS THE DOOR LOCK AND THE DOORS LOCK AND THEN IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK SO I CANNOT HAVE MY CAR DOORS LOCKED WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM; IT IS NOT INTERMITTENT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AT A COST OF $500.00, I HAVE HAD A BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE WHICH HAD TO BE FIXED, AND NOW THIS PROBLEM WHICH I READ IS A COSTLY FIX. THIS IS MY FIRST FORD VEHICLE; WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

DRIVERS DOOR LATCH SWITCH. CANNOT LOCK DOORS OR DOME LIGHT ALWAYS STAYS ON.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED WITH 20K MILEAGE USED. LIGHTS STAY ON FOR 5 MINUTES, AND WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK DOORS IN BAD NEIGHBORHOODS. I HAVE REPLACED 2 BATTERYS ALREADY , AND NOW HAVE 45K ON ODOMETER.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH HAS FAILED. WHEN IT FAILS YOU CAN'T ALWAYS LOCK DOORS AND LIGHT WILL STAY ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO STAY ACTIVE EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF CAUSING THE BATTERY TO BE DRAINED. THIS RECENTLY KILLED OUR BATTERY. IT APPEARS AS IF FORD HAS NO FIX FOR THIS AS MANY HAVE SEEN THIS FAILURE TO RECUR EVERY 35K OR SO, GUESS IT DEPENDS ON HOW OFTEN YOU OPEN/CLOSE THE DOOR TO WEAR OUT THE SWITCH. POOR DESIGN.

CAR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN DRIVER DOOR IS CLOSED , EVEN WHEN CLOSED IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN.

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. THE DOOR IS CLOSED. IT WON'T LOCK THE DOORS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING. AT NIGHT THIS IS A PAIN SINCE THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON FOR AWHILE. TRIED WD40 AND NOTHING. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS SINCE THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS.

THE ENGINE DIED, AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AS I TRIED TO EXIT AND MY CAR DRIFTED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BUT WHEN I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IT WAS SEVERELY SMOKING AND I HAD TO GET MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, THE HEAD GASKETS AND RADIATOR BLEW AND NOW THERE IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE CAR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE AFTER 5 HOURS OF INVESTIGATING.

SWITCH ON SHIFTER THAT TELLS THE COMPUTER WHETHER THE CAR IS IN PARK OR RUNNING MALFUNCTIONED. COMPONENT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE SHIFTER AND HAS THE ABILITY TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE NOT TO START SINCE IT NEVER REGISTERS THAT IT IS IN PART WHEN STOPPED. BACKUP CAMERA LINKAGE FAILURE RENDERING THE BACK CAMERA INOPERATIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY BUT PROBLEM WITH SHIFTER SWITCH REPORTING THE CAR NOT IN PARK COULD RESULT IN THE CAR NOT CUTTING OFF OR STOPPING WHEN RUNNING. TO FIX THESE MALFUNCTIONS AND FAILURES COST OVER $900 DOLLARS. THESE ARE ENGINEERING DEFECTS NOT OWNER RELATED.

REAR HATCH AJAR ALARM GOES OFF CONSTANTLY DURING WARMER WEATHER. THIS CAUSES DOME LIGHT TO GO OFF AND ALSO UNLOCKS DOORS. IT DOES THIS WHILE IN MOTION. COLDER WEATHER THIS PROBLEM GOES AWAY SEEMS LIKE

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL OFTEN REPORT THAT IT HAS BEEN LEFT AJAR WHEN IT REALLY HASN'T. THIS CAUSES THE DOME LIGHT TO STAY ON AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING FOR A TIME WHICH IS DISTRACTING. IT ALSO HIDES THE FACT WHEN THE DOOR ACTUALLY IS AJAR BECAUSE YOU ASSUME THE SENSOR IS JUST ACTING UP.
