Takata recall the door ajar message displays on my 2011 ford edge vehicle constantly and the door is shut. The lights stay illuminated because of the door ajar sensor not working properly. Also i can not lock my doors when i am inside the vehicle when the engine is on which is unsafe in my opinion. I have seen that many people have stated this has happened to their ford as well, but a recall has not been issued.

The headlights have no horizontal, only vertical adjustment allowed and can not be adjusted so as to light the road full width which, causes parked cars and such to be overlooked and possibly struck. I have had several close calls because of this problem when driving after dark. This is a major safety risk and should not be ignored. Ford motor co. Must be made to correct this problem.
