Air Bag Light On problems of the 2011 Ford Edge

The front passenger door ajar indicator light stays on even when the door is closed. This keeps the interior lights on and drains the battery and the car will not lock. This creates a safety issue when I have my grandchildren in the car and I cannot lock the car. Also, I work around correctional facilities and it is required that we keep our cars locked. This problem is really stressing me out and I feel Ford should be responsible for this issue. Also, my air bag indicator lights stay on continously which is another safety issue. I'm not sure the airbags would deploy if I were in an accident.

The air bag light keeps coming on.

Issue 1: the car continues to say that the door is not closed. I will open and reclose and it still does not clear the read error on the dash. It is the drivers door. I have done research online and this seems to be a common issue. The dome lights stay on until speeds of 12 mph are reached and if backing up it will not turn off. The doors will not lock when inside due to the door ajar. Issue 2: this has been an ongoing issue- the air bag light will come on my car after driving for 20 minutes. This one is concerning to me because no one seems to know why it does it. I have contacted Ford and they say to bring to local dealer. Local dealer tells me it is because I have weight on the passenger seat - this orange light will come on even when I do not have anything on the passenger seat or even when the seat belt on the passenger seat is buckled. I am scared that my airbags do not work when that is lit-- luckily I have not been in an accident yet to find out. But they do not want to figure out the issue without charging me an arm and leg to look into it to diagnose to start.

I was rear-ended at a pedestrian crosswalk by a teen texting on his smartphone while driving at the speed of about 40mph. The impact caused me to smash into another car in front of me. I wasn't injured because I braced myself for impact looking up through my mirrors. The airbag light came on as if they airbags were about to deploy on the dash board but they simply didn't deploy. When I was driving home the car started shaking as if the airbags might pop out if I hit a bump in the road. The car is now parked and will remain parked until this issue is fully resolved. . No more Ford cars for me!.
