EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IF YOU REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART, THE REPLACEMENT PARTS GOES BAD AS WELL. THESE PARTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM . I CONTACTED THEM BUT THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS AND INTERSTATES. IT HAS EVEN HAPPENED ON THE POLICE VEHICLES. EVIDENTLY YOU HAVE ALREADY INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM AND CLOSED YOUR INVESTIGATION. I HOPE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE TO PROTECT CONSUMERS. I WOULDN'T WANT THAT ON MY CONSCIENCE. MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER REOPENING THIS INVESTIGATION. I AM NOT SURE EVERYONE HAS REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. *TR
