Door ajar warning light stays on, can't lock doors. Interior lights stay on all the time, hard to see at night when driving with the interior lights on. Had to replace battery due to light draining battery. Ford needs to address.
2010 ford edge trasmission. After driving at highway speeds for about an hour and then come to a stop. When you start to go again the transmission feels like it goes to neutral and then slams into drive. Sometimes it takes less than a second to correct itself and sometimes its 2-3 seconds before it goes. It has happend almost every time we drive at highway speeds. Dealer cannot replicate the issue.
