Loss light power while driving at night on city street, which was probably caused by a defeated controlling light module, as suggested in this recall.

While driving my lights just shut off by themselves and I have to hold the lever towards me to continue to have light until the sensor decides to shut back on. This is a safety hazard and I have 2 small children that I ride back and forth to school in this vehicle.

My 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis has had an issue with the lighting module for the headlights. The headlights will not turn on anymore and from what I see from others complaints about this model is that the majority of the complaints with this vehicle are with the same issue! I really hope that this issue becomes a recall since obviously they are aware of how many people are having this problem. Do you know how hard it is not to be able to drive at night"! let alone when it's rainy or foggy out. I have young children what if theres an emergency?? this issue needs to be addressed before more people get into an accident! are they waiting for someone to die first!" another issue I have is with the windshield wipers- they only have one speed- fast. I don't know why they wouldn't make them with slower settings, every time it rains lightly I have to turn them on for a second and off repeatedly because there aren't any slower settings. I like the comfort of my Grand Marquis but these issues really need to get resolved or I'll be forced to by another vehicle and if they don't do a recall on the exterior lights I will never buy another vehicle from Ford Motor Company because it will show that they really don't care about people's safety!

While driving home my head lights went out. I tried to pull over when I noticed but it was dark and not a good place to stop a vehicle. I found my hazards and tried to creep to a safer spot. Luckily I made it out of this safely, I live in san diego where there's a lot a traffic and some areas are not well lit or suited to pull over. I felt like this was a hazard that could have caused an accident and risked my safety. I was shocked when I got home and read on the internet that this is the most common problem for a 2003 Mercury. This safety hazard needs to be addressed and corrected. Thank you

- Brimfield, MA, USA

I was on my way too work and my lights cut off.

- Oklahoma City, OK, USA

Intermittent failure of headlights throughout life of vehicle. Headlights cease to work; high beams work if flash to pass lever is continuously pressed. On 5/18/15, complete headlight failure, speed on drive home estimated at 5 mph max as roads were dark and driving with flash to pass lever activated requires one handed driving. Very unsafe. Symptoms consistent with lcm failure reported by multiple marquis and Crown Victoria owners and Ford bulletin 14N01. Contacted Ford and stated we never received 14N01 - Ford customer service stated they were unable to provide copy of 14N01 !" and referred to dealer. Contacted dealer who stated I would need to physically come to dealership for a copy of 14N01, if the dealer diagnosed a 14N01 issue, the repair would take two days. I asked if a loaner would be provided. Dealer stated no and dealer stated they could not order the part ahead of diagnosing the vehicle per my request to expedite lcm replacement. The Grand Marquis and Crown Victoria 2003-2005 should be recalled. Has anyone at Ford ever driven without headlights? this is a safety issue which is a recall issue, not a stealth Ford customer satisfaction campaign attempt at pacifying consumers with non working headlights. This problem was originally identified in 2008; why are consumers driving cars with malfunctioning headlights in 2015? why does a Ford owner have to obtain a copy of 14N01 on the NHTSA website versus from Ford via email" so much for the "go further" promises of Ford; we car owners aren't "going further" with no headlights.
