Its very unsafe for these reasons, it causes the cabin light to stay on…

As i was driving out of my neighborhood, i pressed the accelerator, felt a jerk, and then no response from the accelerator. The car was just in idle, with nothing i could do.

I have a 2011 ford edge and at 70,000 miles, my door ajar light stays on even though my door is closed. I can't lock my doors while i'm driving which worries me since i have a 5 month old baby. My battery dies because my interior lights stay on due to the door being "ajar". I've also heard that my airbags may not deploy in an accident if my interior lights are on. That's a scary thought! I've been told that the…
