Model Year	2014
File date	31/10/15
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	After 3 visits to the dealership beginning in october 2015 complaining that the dashboard lights including radio will brighten and dim on an erratic basis. The ford dealership identified the problem as a defective sun load sensor cv6z19e663a and ordered the part under warranty on 1/18/16 at the time i was told that the part would be available in a couple of days. 4 weeks passed no part filed complaint with ford case # cas-8813513 now it is 6+ weeks still no part. I consider the erratic dimming and brightening of the dashboard lights when the headlights are on as a safety issue as the erratic behavior causes a distraction. The inability of ford to provide a replacement part on a prompt basis under warranty when the part in question continues to be used in current production vehicles does not make sense to me.
