1995 Lincoln Town Car: headlights failing or too dim

Filed Jul 1, 2014 · Lights · 217,000 miles · NC · crash

The headlights have went off at night completely 4 times and back on. I was driving about 45 MPH about a block from my house at 4am when the headlights marker lights and everylight except tail lights went off. I ran off the road into a ditch and back on. I reached for the blinkers which worked and saw I was in the other lane. I went into my lane and stopped. A few seconds later the headlights came back on and all other lights. This has happened again twice. The second time on a major highway. The last time I had to have a wrecker pull me out of a side ditch. I contacted ford motor company and they were very rude and would not help at all. I told them this was a serious safety issue , even more so that the speed control recall. They said they would not pay to have this looked into. They wouldn't even let me speak to a supervisor. There are several other instances where this has happened to other people. The local dealership said it happens often on 05 marquis and town car. They said they probably wouldn't be able to help me. Maybe when my whole family is killed in this thing and whoever is in the way, they'll care then. P.s. They have recalled other vehicles for the same reason. The dealer called it an lcm module.

Dad: the contact stated the headlights are aligned improperly. One cannot see the surface of the road. It does not reflect the surface of the road. When driving in a snow storm, the driver becomes blind very quickly and cannot see a thing in fog. *ak
