1 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 02/15/2018

Headlights going out so often! you need to remove the bumper in order to access switching these bulbs. This is costly in labor and Ford oem parts. When one headlight goes out it triggers them all to go out. Very dangerous if on a road trip or driving at night. Was sold a vehicle with my headlight pigtail plugs corroded. Estimate is $680 from Ford to fix my issue! $360 for just a headlight switch. There is a recall on some 2013 Fusions they claim a defective film however ive spoken to dozens of other owners on Ford forums at this point, who have my same issue with the headlight low beams going out within a year. Planning on getting together and filing a mass claim if they dont rectify my corroded equipment issue. Might have to steer people away from buying Fusions. I was pulled over for this too and nearly hit by speeding cars only to find out it was not even a burnt bulb.

2 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2018

Passenger headlight going out constantly. Need to take bumper off to replace the headlights, not a cheap or easy fix. I have come out of pocket to replace the set already costing me $136. 50, 1 month later same headlight has gone out. Ford is quoting me over $200. 00 for parts and labor and $99 just to look at it. My vehicle was manufactured in Sep. 23 2013. My headlights should have had a 6 year warranty and my new set has a 7 year warranty. Very disappointed that you have to go through all that work just to switch out a light bulb when its obviously a manufacturing issue with this vehicle.
