| Was driving along and the headlights flickered and went out. over the pass year it has intermittently done the same. it happened again about a month ago and fortunately i had just stopped at a red light. each time it took about 3 to 5 minutes to come back on. it is very disconcerting since this is a very serious safety issue. so please do not take this lightly, i use the expressway a lot and am driving in very congested traffic most of the time. i do not know what ford has done about this problem since there are so many occurrences with these type of vehicles online. it needs to be addressed before a major accident occurs. also most people like me cannot afford these expensive repairs that are not due to ordinary wear and tear, but a manufacturer's problem. if no action is taken it will be quite a disappointment because these cars are very popular and younger people are buying them which becomes more scary in light of the kind of drivers they are. *tr | |||
