15300 mi On occasion when shift lever is placed in park and engine is turned off, message center indicates message "Shift to Park" Technician was able to duplicate issue and reported defect in reporting electrically to vehicle. 
83800 mi NO REPAIR YET. My 2012 Ford Edge has developed a problem that is often reported on the 2013 Ford Edge. When the driver door is closed it often gives an alert saying the driver door is ajar/open. The car will remind you every time you start up from a stop which can become annoying as well as the doors can't be locked. The suggestion is to place the car in park and close the door. A lot of the times that doesn't work. We found if we keep it in drive and "crawl" down the driveway (under 5 mph) then open it while moving, it will delete the alert. If that doesn't work, I have found that if the passenger window is opened prior to the driver door being closed, the alert normally doesn't come on. All else fails we drive with the alarm reminding us :-( 
23700 mi The Sync system does not link to the drivers cell phone through Bluetooth properly, making voice commands for phone calls impossible. Also, the radio will not turn off by the knob sometimes, even when the car is off and locked. Both intermittent.
