Driving down the road both headlights went out while driving. Not park lights just headlights. Had to drive all the way home with no headlights. Called dealership they said my VIN didnot have a recall. It was some 2015 but not mine. These headlights are faulty. My 2015 work cruiser is doing the exact same thing which is a ford explorer. I never had a car older fords and others that have faulty headlights. This is a major issue. I can see one headlight but two.

Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
An electrical or computer component failed, frequently causing my rear back up camera to go out. I couldn't tell that both of my headlights to stop functioning at the same time (because all of my interior lighting adjustments were still functioning, and because I was in a well light area initially) until I was on the highway, after dark, with my child in the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Taurus. The contact stated that water entered through the sunroof, causing damage to the overhead light switches. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a warped sunroof window. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
03/16/2021 Was the purchase date. The battery was pretty much dead when we took it in for its first oil change (about a month after purchase), they may still have record of it. The check engine light has been on since June. The front head light wiring was faulty, not sure if the person has any record of it. But I can ask that finally got fixed in December. The check engine light was only read at the auto store. Unfortunately due to me losing my job, the cobuyer (my fiancé) has been responsible for all bills and we can’t afford to have it looked at in depth. We purchased a limited warranty when we got the car, but every time we contacted them. They were rude and very put off. They made it seem like we were the issue and not the car. And they NEVER let us bring it in to have it looked at. We are paying almost $475 for a car that has had major problems since purchasing it.
Headlights crashno fireno injuries0 deaths0 the visibility provided by the head light assembly (high and low beam), is less than the standard for night driving conditions and almost non-existent when making turns on dark roads. High beams are the equivalent of dimmed low beams when driving at night. There are plenty of forum discussions regarding this issue with most everyone agreeing on a head assembly flawed design. I noticed this issue after purchasing this vehicle (new) from a ford dealership. I have already heat a deer due to inadequate lights. When making right turn cannot see what turning into. This do not show up on other cars I driven. I have asked several dealers about this was ignored.
