I'm having issues with the headlights. When you try to use the bright lights the headlights go out. It seems my issue would fit under the lcm recall for 2003-2005 mercury grand marquis. When you enter the vin it shows no recalls. I'm hoping this is an oversight since the marauder is a version of grand marquis.

15s39 this vehicle recall has been on my cat for almost a year. According to this website safercar.Gov the remedy is available but when you take it to ford it is not. This vehicle has had this recall with no remedy for a year! This is a safety issue and needs to be addressed. It has destroyed the value of the car. Its unsafe to drive at night since the headlights are not working. Ford is either lying about the recall remedy or it was misreported

Was traveling about 20 mph in my 2003 mercury marauder and was hit from behind at ~45 - 50 mph. During the impact the driver's seat back failed and fell backwards. Luckily my daughter (5 yrs old) was not in the booster seat that is directly behind me. If she had been with me, she most certainly would have had serious injuries. When the seat fell back, my instinct was to try to stay upright. This caused significant neck strain. When i then came into contact with the vehicle in front of me, i slid under the seat belt and my knee made hard contact with the dash. *js
