63 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis

Failure Date: 12/05/2017

My vehicle was recalled, and the recall notice states go to any Ford dealer. I went to pegues-hurst motor company 200 spur 63, p. O. Box 3686 longview, TX 75606 (903) 758-6211. They did the repair, but when I picked up my vehicle the auto lamp no longer works. I reported it the next morning and the service advisor, luis a cavazos said the technician terry l. Bates, told him it did not work when he drove it in to the bay. I told him that was not true and that I know that it worked when I dropped it off because I always kept my auto lamps on and it was dark when I left my home to drive to their dealership. I arrived at their dealership at approximately 6:50 am, December 05, 2017 and their service department does not open until 7:00 am. Their lights were still out and I was the second vehicle there that morning. I told the service advisor that the module kit they put in must be defective or he hooked something up incorrectly. In essence they are calling me a liar, cheat and scam artist. I spoke to the service manager and I got the feeling they were not taking responsibility so I lost trust in them and asked for the general manager of the dealership who was not there at 10:00 am on Thursday, December 07, 2017. I asked them to have him call me and they said okay. Later that day I was told he was on vacation until Monday, December 11, 2017 and as of today, Wednesday, December 13, 2017 I have not heard from them. I had my personal mechanic check and he believes it is the module they put in that causes my auto lamps to no longer work. The amber lamps still come on and the dash board still lights up and the dome lights still come on when I unlock the care with my remote control. This company is calling me a liar, cheat and a thief. I never had a problem with the car or my auto lamps. I am not a thief or cheat as they have implied.
