I'm having issues with the headlights. When you try to use the bright lights the headlights go out. It seems my issue would fit under the lcm recall for 2003-2005 Mercury grand marquis. When you enter the VIN it shows no recalls. I'm hoping this is an oversight since the Marauder is a version of grand marquis.

This vehicle has had this recall with no remedy for a year! this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed. It has destroyed the value of the car. Its unsafe to drive at night since the headlights are not working. Ford is either lying about the recall remedy or it was misreported.

This vehicle purchased in June 2003 has had 6 alignments (the first at about 500 miles) and the steering rack replaced all before 3100 miles because of a constant pull to the right. The dealer has informed me that I am no longer entitled to a "courtesy" alignment. Rf toe in has drifted . 8 degrees in 1 week's time and lf camber 1. 3 in same time.
