NHTSA Complaint #11256849 — 2013 FORD FUSION

MY CAR WAS APART OF THE HEADLIGHT RECALL IN 2013. AFTER THE FIX THE DRIVER HEADLIGHT WAS NEVER THE SAME. RECENTLY THAT DRIVER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. TO CHANGE A HEADLIGHT IT COSTS $30 PER BULB AND THEN A COUPLE OF HOURS OF TIME TO REMOVE/REPLACE THE BUMPER AT $160 AN HOUR. IN MY CASE, IT WASN'T THE BULB BUT THE BODY MODULE CONTROL WHICH HANDLES ALL THE LIGHTING IN MY CAR. THE HEADLIGHT IS SUPPOSED TO BE AT 12 VOLTS, BUT WAS AT A 9 VOLTS AND I'M TOLD IT FINALLY SHORTED. I THINK THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE HEADLIGHT REPAIR DONE YEARS AGO. THIS ENDED UP BEING A $1000 REPAIR. FOR A HEADLIGHT THIS IS A TERRIBLE BUILD FOR CONSUMERS.
