WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS FAILURE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND LEAVES THE DRIVER LITERALLY "IN THE DARK" WITH THE VEHICLE MOVING AT WHATEVER SPEED AND DIRECTION IT IS GOING AT. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS MY RESEARCH HAS FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S "LIGHT CONTROL MODULE" (LCM). FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALS THAT THE FORD / MERCURY AUTOMOTIVE DEALERSHIPS MAINTAIN A READY STOCK OF THIS PART FOR REPLACEMENT AT THE HEFTY AVERAGE PRICE OF $ 700.00. GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE IT IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO APPARENT ACTION BY NHTSA TO REQUIRE A RECALL BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS FAILURE RECURS FREQUENTLY AND UNPREDICTABLY. *TR
