THE HEADLAMPS ON THIS VEHICLE SHUT OFF AFTER LIGHTS HAVE BEEN TURNED ON FOR ABOUT 25 SECONDS AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON, OCCASIONALLY THEY WILL STAY ON AND THEN WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT BY SEVERAL SHOPS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE LCM MODULE IS FAULTY AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS PART IS VERY EXPENSIVE, AND THE FACT THAT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS THIS SHOWS THEIR LACK OF CONCERN FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT FORD DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM AS IT APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD.

THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF WHEN IN USE, INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAPPENS EVEN THOUGH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS PROBLEM DEVELOPED AT ABOUT 106,000 MILES. IT WAS TEMPORARILY CORRECTED BY HAVING THE RELAYS IN THE FORD LCM (LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE) REPLACED WITH A NEW HEADLIGHT RELAY, NEC PART NUMBER "NEC EQ1-11111S". *TR

LINGERING PROBLEM WITH 2004 FORD CROWN VICTORIA POLICE INTERCEPTOR WHEELS WITH SUSPECTED CRACKS. MEETS ALL SYMPTOMOLOGY. FORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR

2010-01-26, Exterior Lighting
I OWN A 2004 FORD CROWN VICTORIA. IT HAS THE WELL KNOWN LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. THE HEADLIGHTS GO OFF FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND REPLACE THESE MODULES UNDER A RECALL. THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. BUT OF COURSE, JUST LIKE FORD DOESN'T THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR GAS TANK DESIGN (EXPLODING CROWN VICS), THEY PROBABLY WILL NOT FIX THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE EITHER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD CVPI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEELS CRACKED IN THE RIM NEAR THE WELD LINE, WHICH CONNECTS THE RIM TO THE DISK. HE HAD TO PLACE AIR IN HIS TIRES WEEKLY BECAUSE THE FAILURE CAUSED THE TIRES TO DEFLATE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE RECALL BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER REGISTERED TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V079000 (WHEELS) AND FORD RECALL NUMBER 07S48 WERE REFERENCED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.
