NHTSA recall 15V861000 still not acted on. Ford Motor Company said in January 2016 they'd notify me when part available so I could set an appointment with the dealer. No such letter has come to date.

Safety recall notice 15S39 dated January 2016. According to Ford customer service, Ford is designing a new part. I seriously doubt this. It's been 6 months! if I experience a problem, I should have Ford install a new defective part.

While traveling down the intestate at night at approximately 65 mph my headlights went out. I did not have an accident as a result of this failure. The light control module was defective. I replaced the light control module. Ford refused to reimburse me for the repair because a Ford dealer did not do the repair. I saved over $300 by doing the repair myself. The replaced module had to be replaced again in Jan 2016.

I bought my Ford crown vic 3 years ago paid 6000 dollars, within two weeks the windshield wipers stopped working, then the transmission went out cost me 2500, then horn would go off and would not turn off till I pulled the positive battery cable off. Two weeks later the blinkers stopped working, then the lighting control module started making a loud beeping sound, then my headlights and tail lights stopped working. I revived a recall letter from Ford and it says take my car to Ford dealership and they would fix it free of charge. I went to dealership and they said I had to pay 85 dollars to check and see if the lighting module was bad or not if it was they said they would replace it for free, but there could be additional cost to pay and I would not get my 85 dollars back no matter what. I have a small business of my own, and if I sold something that did not work I would feel bad and would have to fix or replaced it or be sued.what can I do my name is [xxx] my email address is [xxx] and my phone number is [xxx] thank you information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I was driving home late one night and the lighting module went out leaving us out in the country with no lights. We were just driving down a winding country road. No street lights, no way to see. We managed to get home hours later. On 9/22/15 I had the car looked at by my mechanic and he replace the lighting module fixing the problem. Mechanic said there was a 15 year warranty on this unit and Ford new of this problem. He said I should get reimbursed for the part. On contacting Ford they will not honor the cost of the unit even though it has not been 15 years because I did not bring it to Ford. They also claimed they have sent 2 notices to my address which is not true. I have lived in the same place from before purchasing the car brand new. 2 issues to address is #1, the claimed 15 year warranty not honored they reported to the government and #2, the claim of sending out letters that they do not send. Please help resolve this lighting issue and monitor Ford claim to send out letters.

Severe safety issue with no recall.. I drive a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria. As you can see it's 13 years old. About 6 months ago driving at night my headlights went out. I pulled over and juggled the light switch on & off. They came back on. In the following months it occurred more and more often. Playing with the switch did nothing. One night on I-295 it happened again. On an interstate, with an exit 7 miles away. A sitting target to be hit and killed. Slowly got home. Next day took it to repair my shop. A computer that controls all lights was defective. So I asked him to repair it. "no need" just take it to your Ford dealer. They had issued a warranty for this computer for 15 years. Remember the car is 13 years old. Replaced. No cost. So even though it was a major safety problem, they said no need for recall with the 15 year warranty.. that means they had a safety problem.. how many people died" how many paid for a costly repair" the auto company wins again. No recall issued. Millions $ saved. Lets hear it for honest repair shops !

I took car into miller Ford, provo after receiving recall, they said switch was defective. After 4 months of no communication called and they blamed Ford, called and complained to Ford, case# [xxx],said would get call dist. Mgr. Within 48 hours no calls. Problem headlights go out while driving. Six weeks ago while driving on dark road lights went out as a child ran across street while traveling 45mph, almost hit child. This is a safety recall that Ford is not handling in a time manner given the safety defect. Maybe dot can get these needed repairs ordered in a timely manner, or is a class action lawsuit needed to bring a negligent, uncaring manufacturer to do the right thing. It is sad they do a dangerous recall then fail to follow through, I guess I cannot buy from another american car manufacturer, have 7 other Ford, but planning to sell them.

My wife tried to turn her headlights on and they would mot go on. All other exterior lights were lit. She tried several times, but they would not come on. She drove home using her high beams, as they were the only ones functioning. She works 125 miles away and brought the car home on the 23rd. Today, the 26th, was the first time I have had to look at them. I tried them and there is neither low beams or high beams now. Only high beams in the "flash to pass" mode, where you pull the turn signal arm back. While researching the problem online, I came across a lot of similar complaints all suggesting the lcm being defective or broken. I also found this comment in place of an actual recall by Ford: "4/172014 *****customer satisfaction program 14N01.... check it out, lighting control module will be replaced or reimbursement made if already had done!!!!*****. I would like to know about this program. We have had a dozen Ford since 19984 and there are four in our yard right now. It seems we have been loyal customers a long time and would like a repair done that is not an isolated problem, but a very dangerous one if the light go out while driving.if this is not a recall, it should be. By the way, had the light switch repaired on a 1989 crown vic I owned and the switch was melted because it wasn't heavy duty enough in the wiring. Probably a recall, but didn't know about it. Thank you for your time.
