2012 FORD EDGE Structurebody Problems

I was t-boned in the intersection of [XXX] and [XXX] in Washington, Utah on [XXX]. The airbags did not deploy in my vehicle. I was not injured or receive medical care. However, its a safety violation somewhere I'm sure. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2012 Ford Edge -The passenger door will shut but the alarm that came with the car says that the door is not shut. The alarm will not work when the car detects the door is not shut, so the interior lights will not turn off. Will this affect my battery? When I drive with the sensor on the dashboard states the door is not closed and the interior light will not shut off which becomes a distraction at night. When driving the car, the locks will not work because the dashboard senses the door is not closed. This is a family car with a child still in a car seat. Anyone can jump in my car? There a lot of blogs I found with the same situation, so Ford must know that the problem exists. The door has not been damaged. This is not part of wear and tear because...

THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE VISTA PANORAMA SUNROOF. WHILE TRYING TO CLOSE MY SUNROOF, I STARTED HEARING LOUD POPPING SOUNDS. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO A MECHANIC TO GET THE SUNROOF CLOSED. I WAS LATER INFORMED THAT THE CLIPS ON THE GUIDES WERE BOTH BROKEN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, FORD IS MANUFACTURING CHEAP TRACKS THAT ARE HELD TOGETHER WITH PLASTIC CLIPS DESIGNED TO MOVE VERY HEAVY GLASS BACK AND FORTH. THIS IS UNTENABLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED NUMEROUS OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH VERY LITTLE AFFORDABLE RESOLUTIONS.

MY VEHICLE EXHIBITS ILLUMINATED DOME LIGHTS AND DOOR AJAR MESSAGES WHEN DOORS ARE FULLY CLOSED. I GET ERROR MESSAGES INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING OF DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ALSO STAY ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN I HAVE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LOCKED THE DOORS, DRAINING BATTERY. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF FORD'S VOLUNTARY EXTENSION OF DOOR LATCH WARRANTY THROUGH JULY 2020. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT. MY CAR BEGAN EXHIBITING THE DEFECT IN NOVEMBER 2020. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM ALARMED AND CANNOT SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS SUDDENLY POP ON. I ALSO FEAR MY CHILD WILL OPEN THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING AS THE "LOCK" FEATURE IS UNRELIABLE DUE TO THE DEFECT. IN ADDITION, IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO PARK MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT NOT KNOWING IF I WILL HAVE A...

DRIVER BACK DOOR SAYS "DOOR AJAR" THOUGH DOOR IS CLOSED. SAME ISSUE AS FIELD SERVICE ACTION 19N09 BUT THE BACK DOOR NOT THE DRIVERS ACTUAL DOOR.

FORD EDGE WARNING STATES DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IS IS SHUT. THE CAR BEEPS WHEN STOPPED WHILE DRIVING FOR THIS DRIVER DOOR WARNING. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL ALSO STAY ON PERIODICALLY AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF BECAUSE OF THE FRONT DOOR OPEN WARNING. FORD KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE ISSUED A FIELD SERVICE NOTICE. *TR

DRIVER DOOR CONSTANTLY SAYS "DOOR AJAR" WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY WHEN THE DOOR IS OBVIOUSLY SHUT.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR SENSOR GOING OFF - RESULTING IN CHANGING A BATTERY OUT ALREADY SINCE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN, THE DOME LIGHT STAY ON INSIDE. VERY FRUSTRATING. READ SEVERAL FORUMS OF OTHERS DISCUSSING THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART. DOOR LATCH. THE FAULTY SENSOR TRIGGERS AN AUDIBLE WARNING, ACTIVATES A WARNING LIGHT AND CAUSES A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER MISTAKENLY BELIEVES THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED. OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT DOME LIGHTS THAT STAY ON, DRAINED BATTERIES AND CUSTOMERS SAY ALL THE DOORS UNLOCK AND CANNOT BE MANUALLY RELOCKED.

DRIVER DOOR NOT SHUT ALERT CONTINUALLY COMES ON AND LEAVES CAR INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. THE DOOR IS LATCHING FINE. THE SENSOR IS FAULTY.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS DYSFUNCTIONAL

ALL DOORS LEAKING AT THE DOOR SEAL RETAINERS AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO POOR DESIGNED FLAW! ALL FORD CARS HAVING WATER CONDITIONS AND STILL ALLOWED TO SELL THIS DEFECTIVE CARS ! I AM A MASTER MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED IT MY SELF ! THIS IS STRICTLY A FORD QUALITY ISSUE FOR ALL FORD EDGES OF ALL YEARS AND MOST LIKELY ALL THERE CARS HAVE A WATER ISSUE . AND IT IS MY EXPERIENCE THAT CAR DEALERS KNOW ABOUT IT AND DUE NOT ISSUE A REPAIR BECAUSE OF COST! IT IS A SAD DAY FOR AMERICAN PRODUCTS . FORUM CARS BUILT BETTER THAT THIS! BY MY EXPERIENCE

DOOR LATCH FAILURE. INITIALLY THE DOOR WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT CLOSE WHILE PARKED (WOULD REBOUND OPEN WHEN PUSHED SHUT). NOW WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR WILL UNLATCH AND FULLY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. FIRST IT HAPPENED WHEN TURNING A CORNER FROM A STOPPED POSITION. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET AT APPROX 30 MPH.

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WITH THE PANORAMIC VISTA SCREEN HALF OPEN, WHEN THE PLASTIC CLIPS BROKE(PARTS THAT MOVE THE SCREEN OPEN/CLOSE) THE VISTA SCREEN SLAMMED BACK AS FAR AS IT COULD GO, FOR A SECOND I THOUGHT THE ENTIRE GLASS HAD BROKEN AND I WAS IN FOR A WORLD OF HURT! THIS COULD CAUSE AN EXTREME SAFETY RISK IF THE GLASS HAD SHATTERED.

DOOR LATCH FAILURE, CAUSING DOOR AJAR WARNING TO STAY ON AND BATTERY TO DRAIN. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE LEFT SHOULDER AND ARM PAIN FROM OPENING AND CLOSING IT REPEATEDLY, UNTIL THE LATCH CLOSES AND SENDS SIGNAL TO CONTROL PANEL THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. I HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS BECAUSE I WORK AT NIGHT AND DON'T WANT A STALLED VEHICLE OR NO LIGHTS IN MY CAR WHEN I RETURN TO IT. ALSO IS CONCERNS FOR SAFETY OF PASSENGERS AND CHILDREN IN CAR WITH ME. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON LATCHES ON OTHER FORD VEHICLES, WHY NOT THIE FORD EDGE TOO? I'M SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING TRADING MY VEHICLE IF NOT FIXED. THIS IS MY FIRST FORD AND MAYBE MY LAST ONE IF IT ISN'T FIXED SOON!

DOOR LATCH MECHANISM... DOOR AJAR LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AFTER CLOSING MY DOOR, WHETHER PARKED OR IN MOTION. I WOULD HAVE TO CLOSE IT 5-10, SOMETIMES MORE TIMES, TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. EVEN IF I SLAMMED THE DOOR SOMETIMES THE LIGHT STILL WOULDN'T GO OFF, AND THE WARNING SIGNAL WOULD CHIME AS I DROVE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A HONDA DEALER, AND THE SALESMAN TOLD ME IT WAS LIKELY JUST A SENSOR ISSUE, SO I IGNORED IT FOR A MONTH OR SO BEFORE TAKING IT IN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHEN I THOUGHT I COULD AFFORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THEY DID DIAGNOSTICS ON IT AND TOLD ME IT WASN'T JUST THE SENSOR, THAT THE DOOR WAS ACTUALLY OPEN BECAUSE THE LATCH WASN'T CLOSING PROPERLY. THEY TOLD ME IF I GOT IN A WRECK MY DOOR COULD FLY OPEN, SO I LET THEM REPAIR IT....

"DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATES WITH DOOR SECURELY CLOSED.

THE DRIVERS SIDE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT, REMAINS LIT WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. IT PREVENTS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING. ALSO, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING WHILE DRIVING EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS SHUT. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN. OVERHEAD LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE CAR IS PARKED. CAN MAKE THE CAR IDEAL FOR THEFT AND UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE THE DOORS WON'T LOCK.

DOOR AJAR , CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES FOR REAR DOOR AJAR PROBLEMS, LIGHT ON IN DASH AND ALL INSIDE LIGHTS ON . ALL THEY CAN SAY IS IT NEEDS NEW DOOR AJAR LATCH , VERY UNSAFE AS I HAVE TO DRIVE CAR TILL LIGHTS TURN OFF INSIDE CAR , I CAN NOT LET MY KIDS RIDE IN BACK SEAT AS ITS TELLING ME THE DOOR IS AJAR .

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY, MUST SLAM DRIVER DOOR MULTIPLE (17+) TIMES TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO OUT. ONCE LIGHT FINALLY GOES OUT, I HEAR A CLICK AND THE LIGHT GOES BACK ON AGAIN. WORRIED THE LATCH IS NOT LOCKING PROPERLY. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR NOT.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. INSIDE LIGHT STAYS ON,

DOOR LATCH WON'T CLOSE. SHOWS THAT DOOR IS AJAR AND THE LIGHTS ON INSIDE WON'T GO OFF BECAUSE THE DOOR LOOKS AS IF IT'S OPEN. IT HAPPENS EACH TIME THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS OPENED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW YEARS. IN 2014, I THOUGHT FORD HAD FIXED THE ISSUE AND I FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THEY ONLY CLEANED IT. HAVING TO PAY $588 FOR A NEW DOOR LATCH ISN'T GOOD ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS CONTINUOUSLY COMING ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED,INTERIOR LIGHTS COMING ON AND NIGHT, BLINDING DRIVER. LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING.

REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, HAVE DRAINED 2 CAR BATTERIES, THE ALARM GOES OFF AT RANDOM AND THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. HAD TO PULL CABIN LIGHTING FUSE TO STOP BATTERY FROM DRAINING. THE INDICATION IS CONSTANTLY ON THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IN DOOR IS ACTUALLY AJAR OR NOT.

FORD EDGE LEFT REAR DOOR LATCH FAILING. THE LATCH SENSOR RANDOMLY FAULTS AND IT'S UNCLEAR IF THE DOOR IS PROPERLY LATCHED OR NOT. THE ALARM WILL SOUND RANDOMLY AS THE SENSOR FAILS WHILE THE CAR IS LOCKED. THIS COULD CAUSE A SITUATION WHERE THE DOOR IS NOT PROPERLY CLOSED BUT THE SENSOR SAYS IT IS. PASSENGERS IN THE CAR COULD BE EJECTED. LATCH FAULTS WHEN STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

DRIVERS DOOR WILL NOT LOCK, ICON ON DASH SAYS "DRIVERS DOOR ADJAR"' WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN STOPPED, EVEN MOMENTARILY THE "SHIFT TO PARK" LOGO APPEARS, AND A CHIME SOUNDS. UNABLE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED AS THE FACTORY ALARM STARTS SOUNDING DEPENDING ON THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH WHICH HAS SENSOR, BUILT IN, TO NOTIFY COMPUTER THE DOOR IS CLOSED WORKS ONLY INTERMITENLY. REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, THEN LUBERCATED AND ADJUSTED AFTER 36,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED. EACH REPAIR ONLY LASTED A FEW MONTHS. STILL HAVING PROBLEM. SHOWS DOOR AJAR AT ALMOST EVERY STOP WITH ANNOYING AND DISTRACTING ALARM DING. LEAVES MESSAGE ON INSTUREMENT PANEL, BLOCKING OTHER VITAL READINGS AND POSSIBLE ALERTS UNTIL ACKNOWLEDGED(TEMP GUAGE, ECT.). LEAVES INTERIOR LIGHTS ON CAUSING BATTERY DRAIN AND BEING STRANDED BY DEAD BATTERY. WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH KEY PAD. THIS HAPPENS DAILY. FIRST REPAIR BACK IN 2014.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN, SO THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR LIGHT STAYS ON, THE LIGHTS STAY ON, AND IT'S GENERALLY UNSAFE TO HAVE THE DOOR NOT SECURED WHILE DRIVING. *TR

DOOR AJAR SENSORS/LIGHT DOESN'T INDICATE WHEN DOORS ARE CLOSED, AND WILL COME ON FOR NO REASON WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE AND DOORS UNLOCK/UNABLE TO LOCK. VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT OR WHEN I DRIVE WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES, NOT SURE IF DOOR IS CLOSED ALL OF THE WAY OR NOT, DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AS WELL. THIS HAPPENS WHILE PARKED WHETHER KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION OR NOT AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING.

MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH IS DEFECTIVE. THE SENSOR IS SHOWING THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THIS CAUSES MY INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON AND IT EVENTUALLY DRAINS MY BATTERY.

THE DRIVERS' DOOR LATCH IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE DOOR AJAR ALARM IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD -AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. IT HAS CAUSED A DRAINED BATTERY AND DECREASED VISIBILITY AT NIGHT -DUE TO GLARE FROM INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WINDSHIELD. I AM ALSO NOT SURE IF THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY PROPERLY LATCHED-AND IF IT WILL OPEN WHILE IN MOTION. I TALKED TO MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $400+ TO REPLACE THE LATCH..WHICH I DO NOT THINK IT JUST -WHEN THE CAR IS SO NEW.

SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER DOOR/DOOR LATCH. WHEN FULLY CLOSED, A MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STATING "PASSENGER DOOR AJAR". NOW, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED. IF YOU TRY TO LOCK THEM, THEY UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY. DEALER WON'T FIX AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

DOOR AJAR WARNING COMES ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. DOORS WON'T LOCK, LIGHTS STAY ON. THE DOOR DOESN'T SEEM TO BE OPEN, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MIGHT OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE DOORS NOT LOCKING AND LIGHTS REMAINING ON ARE SAFETY CONCERNS WHEN I AM DRIVING. THIS STARTED HAPPENING A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR EVERY FEW DAYS. *TR

REAR LEFT DOOR AJAR OPEN ALARM DON'T DOES EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. IT RANDOMLY WORKS AND CAUSE CENTRE LOCK NOT LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY! PLEASE HELP ME TO KEEP MY KIDS SAVE. THANKS

"DOOR AJAR" SENSOR BEGAN APPEARING ON DASHBOARD SPORADICALLY FOR 1 MONTH. ALL DOORS WERE CLOSED PER NORMAL, DOOR LOCKS WERE NEGATIVE FUNCTION WHILE SENSOR ACTIVE AND VEHICLE WAS EITHER PARKED OR MOVING. AFTER 1 MONTH, SENSOR WAS ON PERMANENTLY. DOOR LATCH/S RR'D AT FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THIS USED CPO EDGE WAS PURCHASED 13 MONTHS PRIOR. COST OF REPAIR: $540. SERVICE MANAGER HAS ADVISED ME THAT IN THE EVENT OF A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, I WILL BE REIMBURSED THE ENTIRE AMOUNT BY FORD. YEAH...RIGHT!

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT AND MESSAGE DISPLAYED AFTER ENTERING OR EXITING THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS SHUT. PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, SEEMINGLY MORE OFTEN WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES REACH ABOVE 70 DEGREES. ATTEMPTS TO OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES OFTEN DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WHEN ISSUE OCCURS THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGINS MOVING, INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON. OCCURS WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE OR WHEN PARKING. IF PARKING, WHEN THE KEY FOB "LOCK" BUTTON IS PUSHED THE HORN HONKS TWICE RATHER THAN THE NORMAL SINGLE HONK, INDICATING THAT THE SECURITY ALARM IS NOT ACTIVATED. PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHIN THE FIRST 10K MILES AND WAS FIXED BY FORD DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY. PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR AGAIN AROUND 35K MILES (JAN 2016).

WHEN DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED.. DRIVER DOOR AJAR AWARENESS SIGNAL AND ALARM GOES OFF AND CONTINUOUSLY REPEATS AND INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON.

SOON AFTER PURCHASING A USED 2012 EDGE, THE OPEN DOOR LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. ALL DOORS WERE CLOSED. ALSO THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON WHICH BECAME A SAFETY HAZARD PARTICULARLY WHEN TRANSPORTING CHILDREN. BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE DOOR LATCH AND LIGHT SWITCH WAS ONE MODULE AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $500. ONCE REPLACED THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS IS A REALLY COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL ITS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED!

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED, CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON. HAD THE SWITCH CLEANED AT A FORD DEALER A YEAR AGO AND NOW STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON THE WHOLE TIME DURING DRIVING CONDITIONS ON MY 2012 FORD EDGE, THE DOME LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE NIGHT TIME. WHEN PARKED THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON DURING THIS PERIOD ALSO. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ON A FULLTIME BASIS IN SEPT 2016

THE DOOR LATCH FOR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT WILL CONTINUE TO SAY DOOR AJAR NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU TRY TO REOPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR. CAN BE WORRISOME NOT KNOWING IF THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THIS JUST RANDOMLY STARTED HAPPENING.

DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT ALWAYS REGISTER AS CLOSED. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED WITH THE DOOR SECURELY CLOSED IT WILL DISPLAY WARNINGS ON THE DASH, UNLOCK ALL DOORS (INCLUDING REAR DOORS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEATS) AND TURN ON THE DOME LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN STARTING THE CAR, WHILE TRAVELING AND WHEN PARKED AND IDLING. IT ALSO MEANS THAT I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS WHEN I LEAVE IT PARKED. IT CAUSES INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN LIT WHEN CAR IS OFF AND DRAIN THE BATTERY. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY AS WELL AS THE SECURITY OF MY VEHICLE.

THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH HAS A CENSOR THAT GOES OUT AND CAUSES THE CAR DOOR TO THINK IT'S OPEN WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU COULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE DOME LIGHT ON. OR NOT PAYING ATTENTION WHEN IT KEEPS BEEPING AT YOU WHILE YOUR DRIVING. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CASES FOR THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THIS IS COSTING OWNERS $500 FOR A DEFECT IN FORD.

THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR REMAINS ON RESULTING IN AN INABILITY TO LOCK DOORS, INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON, WARNING CHIMES/NOTIFICATIONS CONTINUE WHILE DRIVING. LATCH APPEARS TO BE FAULTY.

VEHICLE SAYS THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS AJAR BUT THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND LATCHED. CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO LOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON.

THE FRONT DOOR AJAR LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AND STAYING ON NO MATTER HOW YOU SLAMMED THE DOOR SHUT (IT WAS NOT AJAR). WHEN STOPPING IT WOULD SAY TO PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT THE DOOR. WHEN PARKED THE INSIDE LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON, DRAINING THE BATTERY, RUINING THE BATTERY.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST WEEK, THE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR ALARM SOUNDED, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE DOOR LOCKS DISENGAGED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO RE-CLOSE THE DOOR; WHICH SILENCED THE ALARM; BUT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYED ON. AS I PULLED OUT AND GOT BACK UP TO THE SPEED THE LOCKS WOULD NORMALLY ENGAGE, THE DRIVERS DOOR ALARM SOUNDED AGAIN, INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ON AND LOCKS NEVER ENGAGED, EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE LOCK BUTTON. PULLED OVER A 2ND TIME - WITH THE SAME RESULT. THE THIRD TIME I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND SAT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. AGAIN, THE SAME PLUS THE SHIFT INTO PARK ALARM ALSO SOUNDED AS SOON AS I REACHED SPEED WHEN THE LOCKS SHOULD ENGAGE. I CONTINUED HOME LISTENING TO 2 ALARMS BLARE, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS LIMITING MY VIEW AND THE DOORS REFUSING TO LOCK....
