general problems of the 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis

I was driving at night and the lights went off dash, tail, instrument and signal lights and then killed my battery.

Was driving down hwy 12 at night September 26 2019 and all I remembered was my lights shutting off due to lighting control module which I learned after the fact didnt have major accident but did hit small ditch and bent up my bumper.

While driving at night, my lights turned off by themselves on a dark rural road. If I hadn't jammed on the brakes, I would have eaten the railing or worse. Turns out the (lcm) lighting control module, is defective. When I looked it up online, it seems that many cars are having this issue, even my local police department. This is a big safety issue and needs to be addressed immediately. The dealer wanted to charge $578 plus 2 hours labor for a part that goes under the dash.
