TAKATA RECALL AS AN 83 YEAR OLD SENIOR CITIZEN, JUST RECENTLY WIDOWED IN MAY 2015, I WAS FORCED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER LINCOLN, BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG IN MY 2003 LINCOLN DID NOT FUNCTION AT ALL DOING A HEAD ON COLLISION, HITTING A CONCRETE WALL

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING AUSING THE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME WHICH IS A DRIVING HAZARD AT NIGHT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE MKX AS IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. FORD HAS A BULLETIN OUT HOWEVER WILL NOT COVER COST OF REPLACEMENT.
