2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid Exterior lighting Problems

“Passenger side DRL assembly on headlight has failed. Dealer says the DRL is not repairable and the headlight assembly requires replacement. The safety of myself and others was put at risk by the absence of 50% of my vehicles DRL system, which diminished my visibility on the roadway. There were no indications of failure until it occured.”

“Daytime running lights have partially gone out. I am concerned that others may not see me as well without these lights. If the manufacturer felt they were important enough to put on the truck, then I feel it's important to for them to keep working. This happened without warning and seems to be an issue with a lot of these trucks. So many failures indicates a manufacturing issue which has now put lives in jeopardy.”
