HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO SWITCH BACK ON AFTER CAR WAS STOPPED BRIEFLY IN COLD CONDITIONS.  UNABLE TO RESTORE HEADLIGHTS IN AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL MODES. HAD TO DRIVE 6 BLOCKS ON PARKING LIGHTS ONLY. SECOND FAILURE REQUIRED THAT CAR BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT WITH MOMENTARY-CLOSURE HIGH BEAM SWITCH MANUALLY ENGAGED TO PROVIDE SOME HEADLIGHTS. THAT EVENING HEADLIGHTS STARTED WORKING AGAIN AFTER CAR PARKED IN WARM GARAGE. ALL OTHER RUNNING LIGHTS OK. CAR TAKEN TO FORD DEALER WHICH REPLACED LCM MODULE FOR $722.00. BOTH EXTENDED REPAIR WARRANTY CARRIER AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSED TO REFUND ANY PORTION OF THE REPAIR. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THAT \"IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL NOTICE, BUT THERE WASN'T ONE\". THIS IS BOTH A COSTLY BURDEN TO THE CONSUMER AND A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO WAY TO OVERRIDE A SUDDEN LCM FAILURE TO RESTORE HEADLIGHTS, AS THE DASHBOARD HEADLIGHT SWITCH OPERATES THROUGH THE LCM IN ALL MODES.  I FIND THAT THE NHTSA JUST CLOSED A CASE INVOLVING 306 FORD LCM FAILURES BETWEEN 2003 AND 2005. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES AS BOTH A COST BURDEN AND SAFETY PROBLEM, STRONGLY CALLING FOR A REOPENING OF THIS CASE IN BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2003","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"CROWN VICTORIA","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
