My car has a faulty latch system in the driver side door. My door is completely shut however the warning light for an open door stays on and I am unable to lock my car while driving as this light stays on. This is also causing my lights to stay on as well. This is a safety concern because I have 2 children and I cannot lock my doors from the inside of my car while the car is in motion. I hit the lock button and since my car is showing that there is an open door, they immediately unlock and stay that way, which is a safety issue not only for myself but my children as well. I’ve had this issue for a couple of years now and went online and saw that several other ford edge owners have had the same problem.

Just bought used 12/4/23 from private party. Transmission fluid leaking on exhaust pipe, seen and documented by tech at Kendall Ford Anchorage, AK. Vehicle was brought in for Transmission and Engine Oil Service 91,000 approximate. Seems to coming from rear of transmission, where shaft goes in. Leaks on hot exhaust, burns and smoke comes in heater vent, Can see some smoke coming up from under hood when parked and smell burning fluid when outside. The leak is not excessive, as im watching the transmission fluid level. But my wife is now afraid of a fire. This seems to be an on going problem with the Ford Edge and other vehicles. Please help resolve this, we cant afford a repair of this large amount from what ive read for repair. Thank you, [XXX] & [XXX] Kenai, AK.

Car started having issues when trying to brake it was as if the pedal was harder to push and the car was slowing but hard to stop. Also a hissing noise from the brake booster area above where feet are on driverside as well as a high litch squeal once pressed down to a certain point. Its only been getting worse even after changing brakes and rotors. The vehicle just doesnt stop when pressures applied so i have to push pedal hard and while the car doesnt stop the brake sometimes seems to kick in and jerk to a stop but u have to apply alot of pressure to pedal and can hear a hissing noise the whole time using the breaks
