This is a complaint on Ford Motor Co. We received a letter for a recall in April, for the lighting control module. Not long after, the headlights went out. Nothing could get them back on. We took the vehicle to the dealer. The stated they did not have the part. That was over two months ago. The dealer still does not have the part. So the car has been sitting there for that length of time. We could not take a chance of driving it without any lights. How can the dealer get the part from co? it is ridiculous to send out a recall letter and then not supply the part....updated 10/22/14
