Headlights problems of the 2013 Ford Fusion

My car was apart of the headlight recall in 2013. After the fix the driver headlight was never the same. Recently that driver headlight went out when driving at night. To change a headlight it costs $30 per bulb and then a couple of hours of time to remove/replace the bumper at $160 an hour. In my case, it wasn't the bulb but the body module control which handles all the lighting in my car. The headlight is supposed to be at 12 volts, but was at a 9 volts and I'm told it finally shorted. I think this has to do with the headlight repair done years ago. This ended up being a $1000 repair. For a headlight this is a terrible build for consumers.

Takata inflators I could not see headlight would go off and on and my steering wheel would shake uncontrollably came close to 3 fatal accidents every time things went wrong I was driving on the freeway me and my kids came so close to loosing our lives.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Fusion. While driving approximately 40 mph, the headlights failed to illuminate properly causing the contact to use the high beams to drive. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was made aware of NHTSA campaign number: 12v553000 (exterior lighting); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

I was driving on the blue ridge parkway on a sunny day. My headlights were set at "auto. " this selection automatically turns my headlights from daylight running lights to full headlights based on the amount of light outside. I entered one of the many tunnels on the parkway and my lights did not come one. It was a short tunnel, so I thought perhaps the sensor didn't "think it was dark enough. " however, for each tunnel after that, and to this day regardless how long or dark the tunnel, my "automatic" headlights do not turn my headlights on. This creates an unexpected complete lack of vision. Ford corporate and my local Ford service department both agreed that this is not unusual, that the automatic headlights often take up to 20 seconds to make the adjustment. I know no other car where this adjustment isn't nearly instantaneously. Had there been a cyclist in the tunnel or had I met another car, this "anomaly" could have been catastrophic.

The front body panels around the headlights are loose and you can hear some kind of a rattle around the back passenger side door when you get over 55 mph.
