Head lights turned off while driving on interstate hwy. At 70 MPH needed to pull over and after 15 min. Heard click and lights came on (later occurances same thing happened) upon dealer repair at over $400+ learned this is a common occurance with this car. Has not happened since repair. Safety issue yes if you loose lights its pretty hard to see where you are going at night on a unlit roadway. Ford should recall these models and repair and refund those that had to pay for the repair.
