My windshield wipers started coming on and off by themselves in my 2005 grand Marquis. They also started spraying all of the windshield wipers fluid out. The lights also flicker on and off by themselves. The wipers then stopped working all together. I took it to a Ford dealership where they could not locate the problem.

I was out driving at around 9:30 pm and my headlights just went out, after I got home I looked for lighting issues with the car and discovered a recall. The next morning I contacted autonation ford in memphis tn, where I reside and scheduled an appointment to take care of the recall. I took it in on 8/11/20 , where they did a lcm bypass that was told to me by the service advisor garvin. I picked the car up on 8/15/20 and the lights were working when I left the autonation but after I got home 30 minutes later I went to drop off some mail at the mail drop and the lights went back out. I call autonation service department and spoke with service manager thomas and explained the problem to him and my situation and was told to bring it back in when I could. I took it back on my first off day that they were open . I was then told that they would look at the work they did and if it were still in place anything extra would cost me out of pocket. I don't feel as if I should have to pay for an issue that wasn't properly repaired. As of today october 3,2020 I still have no headlights. I have replaced the multifunction switch, replaced the bulbs and I still have no headlights.

I purchased a 05 mercury grand marquis and had issues with the headlights going out while driving at night. I seen that there was a recall on this issue for my vehicle but when I called the ford dealer they said my car wasn't registered for a recall. They said I would have to pay $135 for a diagnostic test and leave my car for 24 hours. No one was able to inform me why my specific vehicle was excluded from the recall. If I'm telling them that I'm having a problem that they clearly know about why are they charging me to fix it?

Headlight module went out 12-10-2016, brought car to spring hill ford (dealer) dundee il. Car was under new recall but the dealer did not have the newly designed part yet so they put in the same defective part and told me they would call me when the new parts become available. They never did despite months of me calling them. Now the old design part is acting up again but in 2016 the dealer reported my car as having the recall fixed, which was untrue. My car should never have had been marked down as having the recall fixed. I still have the same old defective part in my car. Ford should redo their paperwork and have this recall properly marked as not fixed. I spoke to ford 800‑392‑3673 this morning and the foreigner on the phone just wasn't getting it.

The lighting control module (lcm) of my son's 2005 mercury grand marquis malfunctioned while he was driving home at night causing his interior, headlights, and other controls to shut off causing a dangerous situation on an open highway. After checking with several dealers, apparently his mercury is one of the few of the 313,000 recalled vehicles that do not qualify for recall repair of the lighting control module (lcm). Frankly, due to the safety concerns and near disaster of the failure of his headlights ford motor company and / or the federal safety agency needs to expand the number of ford / mercury vehicles that should come under this recall (15s39) this is necessary because his loss of headlights could have LED to a crash. Right now, the dealers are asking for $125 service fee just to diagnose and anywhere from $480 to $600 for parts and labor. I feel that because of the similar nature of the failure of the lcm that the recall should be expanding to cover his VIN and the lcm be replaced free of charge.
The lighting control module is defective. We have no headlights. The dealer replaced a general electric module, part #5w7z13c788ac in 2014 when we brought the car to nj from ny after my husband's father passed away. They were supposed to replace the lighting control module but said it was a "similar part". The headlights flickered at that time. Now, the headlights are completely out and our mechanic said its covered under recall 15s39. Winner ford said our vehicle is not covered under 15s39 recall. Ford said our vehicle is not covered under the recall 15s39 but we should pay for the replacement of the lighting control module and keep the receipts. This is a safety issue that should be covered under the recall and winner ford and ford manufacturers are refusing despite the defective vehicle. We drove 60 miles without headlights! The vehicle only has 75,000 miles and should not be without headlights. We shouldn't have to pay $1,500 to replace a lighting control module that is part of a recall both in 2014 and in 2017. Can someone please investigate and advise us. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The car was stationary. The right blinker started blinking faster than usual. Then the headlights went out. After searching on line I discovered recall 15s39. The problem is the "lcm" lighting control module. I took the car to penske ford (alex uribe) in chula vista. They said they had the part but they lied. They kept my car 5 days, never called me regarding status, I called them on the 5 th day and I was told my car was modified and they could not fix it. I explained it was previously secret service car that's why it had additional wiring. Told me I had to remove the wired before they could fix or he could do it for $135 hr. And it would take 5 to 6 hours. I refused. How did the interceptors get repaired or were they not included in the recall? The more I search on line I"m finding the dealers don't want to do the repair because it's too labor intensive. If that's the case what recourse do I have? I have no headlights, no taillights and no dash lights. When I picked up my car they told me "we got your headlights to work, but they could go out anytime" great! I can't drive at night and I'll probably get a ticket for no tail lights. I called ford but the person in the phillipines couldn't grasp what I was saying. Is there no u.s. Customer service? Help please.
