general problems of the 2003 Ford Crown Victoria

The contact owns a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact became aware that both headlights were inoperable. The contact stated that the headlights failed to function properly and had become inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the lighting control module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

I brought this vehicle into the dealership for safety recall 15s39. There were no problems with the vehicle prior to taking it in. When I received the vehicle back from the dealer they had admitted to not completing all the steps in the safety recall. Now that I have the vehicle the dealer returned it to me with the following issues: all of the interior and exterior lighting including the headlights do not work and the air bag light is illuminated. A supervisor at Ford customer service said they refuse to do anything about the new problems they caused. She stated that "well, it's a pretty old car. " I don't think the age of the car should give Ford a pass to not fix a safety recall. The fix for their safety recall only created safety problems with this car - namely the air bags may not work.

When driving at night and early mornings my head lights and tail lights will randomly go out when my light switch is set to automatic. I can turn it on manually and then I have head lights and brakes but no running tail lights. Which is a major problem and safety hazard.

Ford dealership wont fix saftey issues recalls.

Driving at night and the lights will cut off I have pull the bright light lever and hold it on so that the lights would stay on other wise I have no lights at all. If I start the car and the light switch is on auto only the parking lights will come on. Never had this problem before it just started about a month ago and some days the lights will come on and some days they will not.

I havent recieved a notice to repair my vehicle.

I was driving home late one night and the lighting module went out leaving us out in the country with no lights. We were just driving down a winding country road. No street lights, no way to see. We managed to get home hours later. On 9/22/15 I had the car looked at by my mechanic and he replace the lighting module fixing the problem. Mechanic said there was a 15 year warranty on this unit and Ford new of this problem. He said I should get reimbursed for the part. On contacting Ford they will not honor the cost of the unit even though it has not been 15 years because I did not bring it to Ford. They also claimed they have sent 2 notices to my address which is not true. I have lived in the same place from before purchasing the car brand new. 2 issues to address is #1, the claimed 15 year warranty not honored they reported to the government and #2, the claim of sending out letters that they do not send. Please help resolve this lighting issue and monitor Fords claim to send out letters.

This was the second time my lights went out and wouldn't come back on. I had to drive home from the er after my dad was admitted holding my high beams on. Very dangerous. Then they went out again this morning on the way to work I leave at 230 am and again I held my high beams on to drive to work. I called Ford they noted my complaint. Yea no help!!!!!.

Driving along interstate when headlamps went off. Apparently this is a known issue with several reports both to NHTSA and misc online sources. Other lights work as expected. Headlamps work sometimes and sometimes not. Clearly this is a safety issue that could have a potentially devastating result.

Takata recall. The head light do not work. I cannot use my car at night time for almost 2 years. It happened in 2012 and I fixed it that time, unfortunately, in summer 2015 the same problem came back again.

Headlamps turned off while driving at night. They stayed off for about 60 seconds then came back on. This happened about 5 times in 20 mile trip.

Lighting control module failed. . . . Head lights went out in dark on hwy. Unable to get lights on safety hazard. Had to use flasher to approach pull off area. Still unable to get lights on. Family member came, followed to get car & passengers to safety.

First taka take airbag on Jan. 1st 2008 I'm hit a deer and I'm had to replace my whole front even the hood the ,airbag light came on in fact it is still on but the bag did not deploy. The lights inside my truck stays on for 30 minutes and the alarm will not set after the vehicle is shut off. My suspension system on the passenger side sounds as if the brake caliber is loose when moving you can hear it when turning I took off the wheel, and I can not find the problem.

All Ford vehicles do not have day time driving lights. As a safety group you, know that vehicles with day time driving lights get in to less accidents. And how many pedestrian are injured or killed each year because they did't see the vechicle. It is the law in canada. What about us here in the USA?.
