Description of the problem	The headlights on my 2014 ford explorer sport do not safely light up the road at night on a road with no street lights. The low beams project a black line from left to right approximately 6 inches above the dashboard. There is also no light on either side of the vehicle when making a right or left turn. Last week i almost ran into a ditch because i did not have enough light to see the road. I spoke to my ford dealer and they responded they know of the problem but ford has not sent out a maintenance bulletin or a recall. I called ford customer service and they responded they would make note of this issue and would use it to enhance next years model. I responded that they need to fix this years model. The headlights this year (2014) are new. They use a projector system which is not working. I believe this is a major safety concern and a recall should be issued to convert the new lights back to the old style lights.
