| 2003 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | 2003 GRAND MARQUIS I AM EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT FAILURE WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. THIS IS COVERED BY NHTSA ACTION PE08-066 WHICH WAS RECENTLY CLOSED WITHOUT RESULTING IN A RECALL. I FEEL YOUR AUTOMOBILE HEADLIGHTS FAILING WHILE DRIVING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PAY $400-$800 TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED. LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED TO FIX A RELAY THAT IS WORTH ONLY ABOUT $25. AS A RETIREE ON FIXED INCOME, THIS IS A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AND WAS TOLD I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST SINCE THE VEHICLE IS BEYOND THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. INTERNET SEARCH ENGINE ON MERCURY HEADLIGHT FAILURE REVEALED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON LTD'S AND MERCURY'S ESPECIALLY 2003 GRAND MARQUIS' AND FLEET LTD'S. I THINK NHTSA CLOSING PE08-066 HAS RESULTED IN A FAILURE TO ACCURATELY ADDRESS THIS AS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND AS A PRODUCT DEFECT AND FORD HAS FAILED IN THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE OBLIGATIONS TO A PAST VALUED CUSTOMER. FAILURE SEEMS TO BE A MATTER OF NOT IF BUT WHEN THIS FAILURE WILL OCCUR ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR |
