Headlights and dashboard lights went out and no longer work.. If highbeam switch is held lights work
This car has had a recall for lighting since 12/21/15. The lights have gone out while I was driving on the interstate. The local ford dealer is unable to say when the recall parts may become available. I think they should do something since this has been over a year on recall.
My car is covered by a recall for lighting control module controlling the headlights. This recall was issued december 21, 2015. I just spoke to the service manager at my local ford dealership and I was informed that ford motor company has not made repair parts available as of this time. Since this recall covers a component that when it fails can render the headlights inoperable I am curious as to why ford motor company is being allowed to not make a remedy for this recall available?
A recall was issued regarding headlights not functioning for this car last year. I own 2 mercury grand marquis, both have headlights that go out intermittently and the local dealer maintains that the parts still aren't available to complete the recall service. So the end result is I have 2 cars I can only drive during daylight with no precipitation or fog in the forecast. The service manager says that we could pay privately to have it fixed and then maybe get reimbursed by ford. I believe ford should be doing more to complete this recall service.

Safety recall received january 2016. Defective lighting module. My headlights go out while driving at night. Ford motor company informs my ford dealer there are no parts available.

My headlights fail intermittently, don't know when it going to happen. It causes a safety hazard for me and any driver around me on the road. I am afraid to drive the vehicle in the evening. Ford sent me notice of recall twice in two years but, no parts available till they call. Do I have to crash before they get the parts or they waiting for my car to die before it is fixed. A big gamble on fords part. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

On 7-17-13 the lighting control module broke on my car. I repaired my car with the purchased cardone part #73-71002 for $343.14 from autozone. I later received a letter from ford regarding the csp 14n01. I submitted my receipt to the dealer on 4-28-14 and received reimbursement. On 8-29-14 the part broke again on my car. Autozone/cardone warranty expired 7-17-14. I repaired my car with the purchased cardone part #73-71002 for $343.14 again, this time from oreilys. I called ford for a reimbursement. They told me it was a one time reimbursement and to contact cardone or the federal safety agency. In jan 2016, I received a letter from ford regarding srn 15s39/the federal safety agency recall 15v‑861. At that time we were not experience loss of lights. Now on 3-24-16, I was pulled over at night by the police for no lights, the part broke again. Oreilys/cardone warranty expired 8-29-15. Oreilys did not reimburse me. I contacted cardone they told me to contact oreilys. So now I am contacting the federal safety agency.. This cardone part, part #73-71002 is defective obviously. As of today, the part is still being sold at both autozone and oreilys. We do not have any headlights. We are not going to buy the same $343.14 defective part a third time. Please recall the cardone part 73-71002. How do I fix my car? There are no working parts to buy? Both receipts are attached.

On december 23, 2015 I was driving my 2004 mercury grand marquis through an intersection in harris county, texas. I had just received a green light and was proceeding to make a left turn when my vehicle was hit by another vehicle in the driver's side front. The damage to my vehicle was severe. The at fault driver's insurance company declared my vehicle a total loss. My vehicle's air bags did not deploy. I was wearing my seat and shoulder belts at the time of the collision. I was examined at a nearby emergency room. They said "no serious injury" but my orthopedic surgeon said I have a separation of my left shoulder.
Malfunctioning headlights on vehicle. Unexpectedly without warning the headlights failed making for a dangerous, scary drive home. Manually had to hold down the highbeam lever towards me to drive the hour and half home on the highway.
The instrument panel, radio, A/C, etc., all interior lights flicker randomly. I notice this when I am driving at night mostly. It does it during the day, but is not as noticeable. I have already changed the module one time, and it is doing it again. Has been occurring for two years.
Driving at night, headlights turn off suddenly, will come back on if lights are turned off and turned back on - happened 4 times in a 7 mile drive. Dealer replaced module - lights still turning off - no help from dealer or ford motor.
I was driving down the road at night and was turning left when my headlamps just turned off for no reason and I had to drive with high beems the only way they would work is if you hold the turn signal lever towards you.this scared me to death because in my state at this time of year deer are everywhere.
When I was driving my mercury grand marquis on the high way the lights just shut off at first it would happen for short periods of time and if I pushed it in they would work well after a month of two it completely wouldn't stay on anymore and the high beams I would have to use won't work any longer as well.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 mercury grand marquis. While driving 25 MPH, the headlights failed. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times.

The bright headlights will work only when I hold the lever on the column is held back while driving.
