I am having headlight failure due to light control module(lcm/light box) issues. This issue has been previously complained about and investigated by your agency as I have found out while researching your website. There has been no events leading up to the failure. The headlights will switch off and on no matter if your driving or not. Many times they will not go on at all. I am forced to stop once they go out and wait until they decide to switch back on to continue while driving at night. I reported this to ford motor company on august 10, 2009, and I was quoted a 1,000 estimate for repair by my local dealer due to the fact that there has never been a recall issued. What exactly needs to happen to get this safety issue remedied? Please take a deep look into this.
2003 grand marquis I am experiencing intermittent headlight failure while driving my 2003 mercury grand marquis. This is covered by the federal safety agency action pe08-066 which was recently closed without resulting in a recall. I feel your automobile headlights failing while driving is a serious safety issue. There is no question that I am going to have to pay $400-$800 to have the car repaired. Lighting control module will need to be replaced to fix a relay that is worth only about $25. As a retiree on fixed income, this is a financial hardship. I called ford customer relationship center and was told I am responsible for the cost since the vehicle is beyond the warranty coverage. Internet search engine on mercury headlight failure revealed this is a common problem on ltd's and mercury's especially 2003 grand marquis' and fleet ltd's. I think the federal safety agency closing pe08-066 has resulted in a failure to accurately address this as a serious safety concern and as a product defect and ford has failed in their customer service obligations to a past valued customer. Failure seems to be a matter of not if but when this failure will occur on these vehicles.
