MY 2010 EDGE IS DEALING WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT, A WRENCH, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL COMING ON AND OFF WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE (IN PARK OR IN ANY DRIVING CONDITION). WHEN THESE LIGHTS COME ON I PRETTY MUCH LOSE THE ABILITY TO BREAK ON MY OWN, IT RESISTS AND GRINDS WHEN BREAKING WITH THE LIGHTS ON. THE LIGHTS CAN COME AND GO FOR DAYS AT A TIME OR FOR ONLY A FEW MILES. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HESITATES ON TAKE OFF WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE ON. CODE READER DOESN'T REALLY TELL US ANYTHING USEFUL. IF CODES ARE CLEARED IT EVENTUALLY WILL COME BACK ON AND CONTINUE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM BY WHAT I'M FINDING, FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO FIX THIS WIRING/ELECTRICAL ISSUE. ANOTHER THING, THE SEATBELT LIGHT AND ALARM WILL NOT STOP GOING OFF, EVEN IF YOU ARE IN PARK FOR A WHILE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND I AM FAR FROM IMPRESSED.
