2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS Complaints

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 !
