ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND A CAR HIT ME IN THE REAR. THE OTHER DRIVER SAID HE DIDN'T SEE ME SINCE I DID NOT HAVE MY LIGHTS ON. I SHOWED HIM THAT THEY WERE ON BUT YET THE TAIL LIGHTS WERE NOT. WHEN I HAD A SHOP CHECK FOR THE PROBLEM, THEY SAID THE FUSES, BULBS AND RELAYS WERE FINE. THEY SAID THE PROBLEM IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND IT IS A LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE WHICH COSTS OVER $500.THEY SAID FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT STILL HAS NOT RECALLED THE ITEM. WHEN I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET, I FIND A TON OF PEOPLE REPORTING THIS PROBLEM. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO ALL INVOLVED. I AM SHOCKED AT FORD. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR QUIT WORKING AS THEY SHOULD. THE LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN GO OFF WITHIN 30 SECONDS. USAGE OF EMERGENCY BRIGHT LIGHT ON SIGNAL LEVER IS A MUST FOR HEADLIGHTS. CANNOT USE DIM LIGHTS AT ALL. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A RECALL SITUATION AS I HAVE HEARD THERE ARE OTHER CARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL AFFECTED. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN EXITING A LOCAL RESTAURANT JUST AS IT WAS GETTING DARK WE FOUND THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT GO ON EITHER IN MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC MODE. THE ONLY WAY WE WERE ABLE TO SEE TO GET HOME, ABOUT TEN MILES ON THE HIGHWAY, WAS TO LIFT UP THE LIGHT LEVER AND HOLD IT UP FOR HIGH BEAMS. IF WE RELEASED THE LEVER IT WENT TOTALLY DARK. OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER FOUND A FAILED LIGHT CONTROL PROCESSOR TO BE THE CAUSE, AND REPLACED SAME. THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE PART AND WITH LABOR COST OVER $500. WE FELT THAT WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR WHILE WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. FORD SAYS NO ISSUES WITH THIS ALTHOUGH IT WAS WRITTEN UP IN NEWSPAPERS. THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM APPARENTLY COMES FROM BAD WELDING IN THE LCM (LIGHT CONTROL MODULE) BUT ITS SCARY TO BE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND THEN HAVE NO LIGHTS. *JB
