2005 FORD CROWN VICTORIA Complaints

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. FORD SAYS NO ISSUES WITH THIS ALTHOUGH IT WAS WRITTEN UP IN NEWSPAPERS. THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM APPARENTLY COMES FROM BAD WELDING IN THE LCM (LIGHT CONTROL MODULE) BUT ITS SCARY TO BE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND THEN HAVE NO LIGHTS. *JB

TURNING CORNER AND STEERING ALL OF A SUDDEN BINDS UP. TOLD ITS A UJOINT PROBLEM THAT FORD SHOULD GET ON TOP OF BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT. MINES NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT I'VE MET. *TR

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY GOING OFF. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SUDDENLY NO HEADLIGHTS. WENT TO SISTERS READY TO LEAVE--NO HEADLIGHTS--READY TO LEAVE FOR WORK IN THE MORNING BEFORE DAYLIGHT NO HEADLIGHTS. THEN AN HOUR LATER LIGHTS BACK ON. WHEN MY 3 YEAR OLD GRANDSON VISITS I DO NOT TRUST THE HEADLIGHTS ENOUGH TO TAKE HIM OUT. I CHANCE GOING TO WORK IN THE MORNINGS AT MY FULL TIME JOB OR WHEN I LEAVE MY PART TIME JOB AT NIGHT. WHEN I WENT TO SEE ABOUT GETTING THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED, I WAS TOLD IT WILL BE QUIET EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO GET IT REPAIRED. I FEEL WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT I READ ONLINE, THAT FORD SHOULD CONSIDER THIS A RECALL AND REPAIR THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR
