Problem overview

Some Ford Edge owners report experiencing issues with the parking indicator switch malfunctioning, which can lead to warning messages and battery drain due to the shifter assembly failure. This malfunction may prevent the vehicle from recognizing that it is in park, causing multiple systems to remain active even when the key is removed, resulting in battery drain. Additionally, some owners have noted that a faulty or low battery can trigger malfunctions in the parking aid system, leading to failure messages or alert lights on the dashboard, or preventing the system from functioning correctly. It is essential for owners to address these issues promptly to avoid further complications and ensure the vehicle operates properly.
