2004 Ford Crown Victoria. Consumer requests for investigation/action on continued axle, bearing failures, defects (potential catastrophic loss of control and allegedly defective airbags to protect victims) collapse of safety recall system. The consumer stated Ford did some recall work on the 2003 models with regards to the rear axles and bearings. However, the neglected to correct the defect in the 2004 and possibly later models. Also, the lights were defective and it took an entire decade to rectify the issue.

Head lights no longer are operating. Was driving at night and they went out and will not go on again. Have tried to have them operate again and again and no luck. When will recall parts be available as this vehicle is not able to operate at night , in fog ,or in heavy rain.

Head lights went out while driving. Stopped, pulled over, didn't want to drive at night without lights. Checked all fuses, all seemed to be ok. Fumbled with the switch and wires and connections, and for awhile contemplated how we would get ourselves, and the car home without any lights? started the car back up and the lights worked. . . . . Resumed our drive home. . . . But lights went out again. . . . . Decided to risk it and continued home without head lights. Took the car to a Ford service station the next week, they said it must be the switch, put in a new switch and said it was fixed. . . . . . . . . Picked it up after work, and headed for home, made it a 1/4 mile before they went out again. Got on the internet and discovered that this is apparently a very common problem with the crown victoria and to fix it, it takes a Ford re-- designed lighting control module. . . To the tune of about $500. 00. . . Ford obviously knows this is a design and safety problem, why aren't they taking care of the problem. . . . . Before people are killed????.

I was coming home from work, and I pulled into a local subway shop, recieved my food, as I went to turn on my car, the automatic lights did not come on, the park lights did, but not the automatic lights, I flicked the lever to high beam but to my surprise no lights. I pulled the lever back and held it, until I got home, this is a very dangerous situation. . .

The headlamps turn off while driving or don't turn on at all [very intermittent][very scary][very dangerous!!] I live in the country and there are no streetlights,just imagine losing your only source of light ! a new lighting control module is needed at a cost of 500. 00 p&l . Research has shown that 2002 - 2005 crown vic police and passenger vehicles have this safety problem that need to be addressed before some one dies !.

Head lights on 2004 Ford Crown Victoria will go off while driving at night and sometimes will come back on then at times they will not come on at all. I am a single woman and on a fixed income this part is very expensive so I really think Ford needs to do something about it , I have replaced my switch on it thinking this was the problem but it wasn't.

Headlamps randomly go out on my 2004 Ford Crown Victoria. No symptoms until it happens. Click sound comes from what I have found to be the lcm (lighting control module) under the dash and the headlamps go out. This has now happened 4 or 5 times, maybe more because I have only noticed it at night (of course). When the lights go out it can be 30 seconds or 30 minutes before I can get them to come back on.
