CALLED BOTH PARTIES AGAIN 8/4/16 AND AGAIN ON 1/18/17. SAME RESPONSE. EACH REFERRED THE PROBLEM BACK TO THE OTHER. IS THIS ISSUE GOING TO BE RESOLVED OR NOT? HOPEFULLY IT WON'T TAKE AN INJURY OR DEATH FOR IT TO BECOME A PRIORITY WITH FORD.

YOU ALLOWED FORD AN ENTIRE YEAR TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR HEADLIGHTS THAT GO OUT AT NIGHT! MEANWHILE PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. TRUMP SHOULD FIRE EVERY ONE OF YOU - AT LEAST WE WOULDN'T BE PAYING FOR YOU TO NOT PROTECT THE PUBLIC WHILE CATERING TO THE VERY COMPANIES YOUR MISSION SPECIFIES YOU ARE TO SEE TO IT THEY DO NOT HARM THE PUBLIC.

MY HEADLIGHTS GO OFF BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE MAYBE AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR HEADLIGHTS LCM ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT AND IT IS PITCH DARK AND YOUR HEADLIGHTS DECIDE TO GO OUT. I TAPPED UNDER THE DASH ABOVE THE PEDALS AND THEY CAME BACK ON, BUT WENT BACK OFF AFTER A FEW MINUTES SO I DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND WANT TO KNOW HOW I CAN HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED ASAP SINCE IT'S A MAN. FACT. ISSUE..... *TR

ON 12-7-2016 I WAS TOLD BY FREMONT FORD IN FREMONT CA THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX MY HEADLIGHT PROBLEM -- A FACTORY RECALL ITEM -- UNTIL MARCH 2017 AT THE EARLIEST BECAUSE THE PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FROM FORD UNTIL THEN.

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 PULLED THE TIRE OUT OF SERVICE BEFORE ANY FAILURE OR ACCIDENT. TOYO TIRES IS NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN HEARING ABOUT ANY PART OF THE PROBLEM. THEY JUST TELL ME IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. 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.

JAN 19, 2016, LETTER SAID I WOULD BE NOTIFIED AS SOON AS CORRECTIVE PART BECAME AVAILABLE. THIS HAS BEEN OVER 6 1/2 MONTHS. AS I'M PLANNING ON TAKING AN EXTENDED TRIP, MUCH OF IT AT NIGHT, IN THE NEAR FUTURE, I'M CONCERNED MY HEADLIGHTS WILL SUDDENLY GO OUT. PLEASE GOAD THEM TO GET ON THE BALL AND PROVIDE A REPAIR.

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

UNINTENDED ACCEL. SOMETIMES WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE THE CAR ACCELERATES INSTEAD. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS ME AND MY BIG FEET. AFTER SOME INTERNET RESEARCH I FIND IT MAY BE COMMON AS THE 2005 GETS OLDER. I ASKED IF BRKE PEDAL COULD BE ADJUSTED SO THAT THERE WAS NO INTERFERENCE WITH THE GAS PEDAL, I WAS TOLD NO. I HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED, MINIMUM IMPROVEMENT. ONE DAY I "SHOT" ACROSS US19 IN ROSS TOWNSHIP WHEN I BRAKED. INSTEAD OF STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, I KEPT GOING UNTIL I CLEARED TRAFFIC IN BOTH DIRECTIONS RUINING 2 WHEELS & TIRES - SUBSEQUENTLY REPAIRED. THE CAR NOW SITS IN OUR DRIVEWAY, AFTER SOME OTHER OCCURRENCES WITHOUT INCIDENT. I'M LEARY OF DRIVING IT & DON'T WANT TO SELL IT & GET SOMEONE INJURED OR KILLED. FORTUNATELY I HAVE A 2004 SABLE WHICH I DRIVE DAILY WITH NO SUCH PROBLEMS! IDEAS?

THE SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF HAD EXTENED WARRANTY BUT IT DID NOT COVER THE PRICE TO FIX THE SEAT BELT WHICH WAS DEFECTIVE WAS 900.00 ''' LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME AND COULD NOT AFFORD THIS PRICE ALSO THE HEAD LIGHT RECALL RECIEVED A LETTER BUT NEVER HEARD ANOTHER THING ON THE HEAD LIGHT MY CONCERN IS THE SEAT BELT

TAKATA RECALL ALSO THE EXTERIOR FRONT BODY BUMPER PANELES AND LEFT DOOR MOLDING PANELS ARE IMPROPERYLY AND IN ACCURATE/Y AND INADEQUATELY SECURED ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVER DOOR POSSIBLIY RESULTING IN UNSAFELY COMING APART WHILE TRAVELING ON THE ROAD THE IMPERFECTED PLACEMENT CAN BE EASILY SEEN BY GLANCING AT THE SIDE AND FRONT AREA OF THE VEHICLE

AIR BAG LIGHT TURNED ON AND HAS REMAINED ON. VEHICLE HAS 20195 MILES. APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM THAT COMPANY HAS FAILED TO ADDRESSED

MY GRAND MARQUIS LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON LAST NIGHT AND WENT TO AUTO ZONE. THEY CHECKED ALL MY FUSES. STILL NOTHING THEN I WAS STUCK TRYING TO HOLD THE HIGHBEAMS ON THE WHOLE DRIVE HOME. STARTED TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM ONLY TO SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT I SHOULD DO NEXT.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS A USED VEHICLE WITH 42900 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS NO HISTORY OF AN ACCIDENT ON THE CARFAX REPORT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE REPAIR ENDED UP COSTING OVER $1000 BECAUSE NEW SENSORS HAD TO BE INSTALLED FOR THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES. THE AUTOMOBILE MECHANIC SAID THIS IS COMMON FOR 2005 FORD AUTOMOBILES. WHY HASN'T FORD ISSUED A RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM?

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DIAGNOSIS INDICATED SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER WAS DEFECTIVE. SINCE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DELOY IN THIS CONDITION, IT WAS REPLACED, COSTING $513.00. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS.SAFETY RECALL IS WARRANTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLAMPS FLICKERED WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE BULBS FOR THE HEADLIGHTS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND FLASHES THE CODE 34. IT THEN STAYS ON AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING. THE CODE MENTIONED ABOVE IS FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT PRE-TENSIONER. SINCE THIS IS PART OF THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT (BELTS MAY NOT LOCK DURING A COLLISION), I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ITEM THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. THE DEALER QUOTED $700 TO REPLACE THE UNIT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE CONTACT HAD TO ENGAGE THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT.

(LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE).

HEADLAMPS GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. FORD DEALER SAYS ONLY WAY CAN FIX PROBLEM, WHICH IS AN INVESTIGATION, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION # 14N01, IS FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE OCCURRING WHEN IT IS CHECKED. THIS IS ABSURD, AS THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN TO BE INTERMITTENT - RELATED TO BAD RELAYS / RELAY INSTALLATION. THESE IDIOTS NEED TO BE TOLD TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE KILLS SOMEONE JUST TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS!

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ON VACATION ON AUGUST 14TH 2015 WHEN WE WERE GOING TO LEAVE OUR LOCATION, WE TURNED CAR ON AND HEADLIGHTS; WHEN WE NOTICED HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON AT ALL. WE MANUALLY TURNED THE KNOB MULTIPLE TIMES AND NO LIGHTS TURNED ON. WHEN HE PULLED TURN SIGNAL LEVER BACK TOWARD HIM, WE CAME TO A CONCLUSION THE ONLY WAY WE COULD TRAVEL WAS WITH THE MANUAL HIGH BEAMS ON. HE HAD TO HOLD THE LEVER THE ENTIRE WAY TO OUR NEXT LOCATION IN THE MOUNTAINS WHICH WAS DANGEROUS FOR US AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS. THE HEADLIGHTS SOMEHOW CAME BACK ON. AND ON AUGUST 26 2015 I JUST HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING UNLESS HOLDING BACK THE MANUAL HIGH BEAMS LEVER. THIS TIME THEY DID NOT COME BACK ON. NOT ONLY AM I AS A DRIVER BLINDING PEOPLE WITH HIGH BEAMS, I AM RISKING MY DRIVING BY HOLDING DOWN A LEVER WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE. THE LEVER HITS THE STEERING WHEEL AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHERS WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL ARE EXPERIENCING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED

THE HEADLAMPS DECIDED TO QUIT WORKING RIGHT WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 45 MILES AN HOUR. COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. OTHER DRIVERS GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WERE HONKING AND FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND SOMEBODY COULD GET HURT.

BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME AND WON'T COME BACK ON. THE HIGH BEAM "FLASH TO PASS" WORKS BUT I DON'T WANT TO "BLIND" ANY ON-COMING TRAFFIC, SO I WILL NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS REPAIRED !
