Jan. 2016-I received a letter from Ford Motor Company saying there is a recall 15S39 and when parts are available Ford will let me know and the part will be replaced. April 2017 _ I receive a letter from Ford saying parts are available, schedule an appointment. Called flood Ford and Lincoln in narragansett ri was told I had to first have them determine if a part was needed, then I would have to return to have the part replaced if needed. When the car was taken in to have it reviewed the vehicle did not enter the service area at all. I was asked to go outside into the parking lot of the dealership with the clerk from the counter from service department. I was told to get into my car --start it -- and apply the brake. We were in the parking lot of the dealership and the vehicle in park although ignition was on. I applied the brake as asked, then I was told, the brake lights are fine I don't need the part for the recall. I was all set and ok to leave. The recall 15S39 has nothing to do with the brakes so clearly this dealership does not service their customers correctly. I had both letters from Jan 2016 and April 2017 that showed it was for the headlights. I'm filing a complaint that this dealership did not perform the work they should have. How can I get the lighting control module (lcm) replaced on my vehicle" the lcm is the part for the 15S39 recall. When there is a recall for a part, is the manufacturer required to replace the part or can they say it is not needed" thank you for your time.

This car has had a recall for lighting since 12/21/15. The lights have gone out while I was driving on the interstate. The local Ford dealer is unable to say when the recall parts may become available. I think they should do something since this has been over a year on recall.

My car is covered by a recall for lighting control module controlling the headlights. This recall was issued December 21, 2015. I just spoke to the service manager at my local Ford dealership and I was informed that Ford Motor Company has not made repair parts available as of this time. Since this recall covers a component that when it fails can render the headlights inoperable I am curious as to why Ford Motor Company is being allowed to not make a remedy for this recall available?

A recall was issued regarding headlights not functioning for this car last year. I own 2 Mercury Grand Marquis, both have headlights that go out intermittently and the local dealer maintains that the parts still aren't available to complete the recall service. So the end result is I have 2 cars I can only drive during daylight with no precipitation or fog in the forecast. The service manager says that we could pay privately to have it fixed and then maybe get reimbursed by Ford. I believe Ford should be doing more to complete this recall service.
