NHTSA Complaint #10250759 — 2003 FORD CVPI

I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL DECEMBER 3RD, 2008 WHEN I NOTICED MY BLINKERS (FLASHERS) WERE NOT WORKING WHEN I WAS MAKING LANE CHANGES. AFTER WHICH I NOTICED THAT MY HEAD LIGHTS, DASH BOARD LIGHTS AS WELL AS MY HAZARD LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS DUE TO A LIGHT CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. THIS ISSUE IS ALSO AFFECTING MY SEAT BELT ALARM AND LIGHT. IT IS CURRENTLY ON GOING AND HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED DUE TO MY CURRENT RESEARCH ON THE MATTER. I AM ONLY WRITING THIS COMPLAINT DUE TO THIS INFORMATION I FOUND: "THIS AGENCY HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL FAILURES OF LIGHTING CONTROL MODULES ON 2005 FORD CROWN VICTORIA?S. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS, AND IN SOME CASES, THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE NOT CAME BACK ON FOR A SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD OF TIME. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD FLEET SERVICES AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THE ISSUES BUT AT THIS TIME THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED ANY RECALLS. WE HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE NHTSA OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION (ODI) AND FILED A COMPLAINT. ODI HAS CURRENTLY OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ISSUE WHICH IS REFERENCED UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE08066. DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE OF THIS DEFECT AND THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH REPAIRS, I WOULD ASK THAT ANYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM CONTACT THE NHTSA AT 1-888-327-4236 AND FILE A COMPLAINT IN AN ATTEMPT TO HAVE A RECALL ISSUED FROM FORD. THE CURRENT INVESTIGATION COVERS FORD CROWN VICTORIA?S AND MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS?S, MODEL YEARS 2003-2005." IF THERE IS AN ON GOING INVESTIGATION I WOULD LIKE TO BE INFORMED ON THE MATTER DUE TO THE POSSIBLE CASE OF A CRASH IF DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN THE DEFECT OCCURS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
