The contact owns a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. The contact stated that while reversing, the vehicle was sluggish.

My Ford was involved in a frontal accident where my airbag didn't deploy and it caused serious head and bodily injury.
I'm having problems with the lighting control module my high beam lights stop working. I see this year (2003) Ford crown Victoria has a recall for the lighting control module but mines isn't listed when I put in my VIN number and I wanted to see if mines can be listed. Also I would like to know why wasn't it listed on the recall list because this is a safety issue and very dangerous.
