THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. THE RIGHT BLINKER STARTED BLINKING FASTER THAN USUAL. THEN THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. AFTER SEARCHING ON LINE I DISCOVERED RECALL 15S39. THE PROBLEM IS THE "LCM" LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE. I TOOK THE CAR TO PENSKE FORD (ALEX URIBE) IN CHULA VISTA. THEY SAID THEY HAD THE PART BUT THEY LIED. THEY KEPT MY CAR 5 DAYS, NEVER CALLED ME REGARDING STATUS, I CALLED THEM ON THE 5 TH DAY AND I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS MODIFIED AND THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. I EXPLAINED IT WAS PREVIOUSLY SECRET SERVICE CAR THAT'S WHY IT HAD ADDITIONAL WIRING. TOLD ME I HAD TO REMOVE THE WIRED BEFORE THEY COULD FIX OR HE COULD DO IT FOR $135 HR. AND IT WOULD TAKE 5 TO 6 HOURS. I REFUSED. HOW DID THE INTERCEPTORS GET REPAIRED OR WERE THEY NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? THE MORE I SEARCH ON LINE I"M FINDING THE DEALERS DON'T WANT TO DO THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT'S TOO LABOR INTENSIVE. IF THAT'S THE CASE WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE? I HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS, NO TAILLIGHTS AND NO DASH LIGHTS. WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR THEY TOLD ME "WE GOT YOUR HEADLIGHTS TO WORK, BUT THEY COULD GO OUT ANYTIME" GREAT! I CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT AND I'LL PROBABLY GET A TICKET FOR NO TAIL LIGHTS. I CALLED FORD BUT THE PERSON IN THE PHILLIPINES COULDN'T GRASP WHAT I WAS SAYING. IS THERE NO U.S. CUSTOMER SERVICE? HELP PLEASE.

Recently, the contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the headlights became inoperable without warning. The contact was forced to use the hazard lights after multiple attempts to restart the headlights had failed. The contact coasted the vehicle to the nearest gas station and upon arrival the headlights began to operate. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where he was given an estimate for the repair.

MY CAR'S LIGHT MODEL HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT MINE FAILED BEFORE RECALL. I HAD IT REPARED LOCALLY BY A NON FORD SHOP. AT THE TIME OF MY RECALL I HAD OVER THE 250,000 MILES ALLOWED ON THE CAR.

I CONTINUE TO GET NOTICES FROM FORD TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT WHAT CAN I DO??

CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, WHY HAS NHTSA NOT REQUIRED A RECALL? SINCE I CANNOT AFFORD THE COST, I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT AS I AM SURE MANY OTHERS ARE DOING.

I HAVE TOYO VERSADO LX TIRES ON MY 2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS P225/60/R16 98T DOT DOT 73A6FWV4410. THE TIRE HAS DEVELOPED A BUBBLE IN THE TREAD ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE.

I WAS NOT MAKING A WARRANTY CLAIM, BUT AM DISAPPOINTING THAT THEY WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THE DETAILS OF THE PROBLEM TO SEE IF THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENCE OR WHETHER THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES. I AM QUITE SURE THAT THERE ARE ALOT OF THESE TIRES THAT ARE APPROACHING 5 YEARS OLD THAT ARE ON THE ROAD. I LIVE IN KINGMAN ARIZONA, AND THE CAR IS KEPT IN A GARAGE OUT OF THE SUN WHEN PARKED. IT IS NOT PARKED OUT IN THE SUN REGULARLY DURING THE DAY EITHER. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OR FLATS ON THIS TIRE AND IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES ON IT. THE REMAINING TREAD DEPTH IS APROX 5/32 OF AN INCH.

HELLO, I OWN A 2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN APPARENT PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG / SEATBELT SYSTEM. THERE IS A LIGHT THAT IS ON THAT SAYS AIRBAG. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAID IT WAS LIKELY A SEATBELT TENSIONER PER THE CODE IN THE COMPUTER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE PAGES OF PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. A WORKING REPLACEMENT COULD NOT BE INSTALLED AS THESE PARTS ARE NUMBERED TO THE CAR AND HAVE TO BE REPAIRED AND REPROGRAMMED. DEALERS HAVE QUOTED OVER $500+ FOR THE REPAIR, PER MY RESEARCH. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE JUST ON THE FORUMS, FOR MANY YEARS AND MILEAGES OF THIS CAR, JUST FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS AN APPARENT PROBLEM WITH FORD'S S Q.C. FROM THE START. IF THEY ARE GOING TO INSTALL A SAFETY SYSTEM IT OUGHT NOT BECOME A LIABILITY, AS I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL SAVE ME OR INJURE ME MUCH LESS IF THE SEAT BELTS WILL WORK IN AN EMERGENCY! YOUR FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED. IF I HAVE REACHED THE WRONG DEPT. IN ERRATA COULD YOU EITHER FORWARD THIS TO THE RIGHT PARTY OR LET ME KNOW WHO TO CONTACT. AGAIN THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED FORD NOT INCLUDING ON THE RECALL LIST, MODELS THAT HAVE HAD RECALL PROBLEMS BEFORE. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU KINDLY [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
