1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII Complaints

I OWN A 1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM, WITH VERY LITTLE LIGHT ON THE ROAD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. YOUR SITE HAS 70 COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES ARE DEFECTIVE, ALLOWING THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT TO DETERIORATE. I FEEL THAT FORD/ LINCOLN SHOULD REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU. *LA

HEADLIGHTS TO DIM(NON HID MODEL) MAKING DRIVING AT NIGHT HAZARDES EVEN MORE AROUND CITYS WHERE SLIGHT GLOW IS AROUND SKY MAKEING THE ALLREADY DIM LIGHTS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE CAUSED BY PLASTIC LENS AND PLASTIC DEFLECTORS AGE AND HEAT MAKES LIGHTS YELLOW (YELLOWING ,PLASTIC DEFUSERR ,AND REFLECTOR AND DULL CAUSE BY HEAT PRODUCED) VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON MARK VIII FROM FIRST TO THE 96 ONLY ON THE NON HID VERSION OF THE LSN AND STANDARD VERSIONS HID HAVE NO DRIVING PROBLEMS . *AK

THE VEHICLE HAS THE TENDENCY TO SURGE STRONGLY WHEN COMING FROM A STOP. *LA THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WOULD OCCURED ABOUT ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS. *SC

VEHICLE DIDN'T APPEAR TO SLOW DOWN. CONSUMER PULLED TO THE SHOULDER TO SEE IF THE BRAKES WOULD STOP THE VEHICLE. *PH THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE WAS GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE RACED. *SC *JB

UNSAFE NIGHT DRIVING DUE TO POOR HEADLIGHT DESIGN. HEADLIGHTS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE DUE TO HEAT BUILD-UP INSIDE OF HEADLIGHT HOUSING. THE BEST FIX IS UNFAIRLY EXPENSIVE ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE INITIAL COST OF THE VEHICLE.*JB

AS THE CONSUMER PULLED INSIDE THE PARKING LOT, TRAVELING AT 25MPH AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE FROM THE SIDE AND THE DUAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK *SCC

FAULTY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS - REFLECTORS IN LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BEGIN TO ERRODE DUE TO HIGH TEMPATURES IN HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS AND CAUSE LIGHT OUTPUT TO DROP TO VERY LOW LEVELS AND THEREFORE CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE LESS UTPUT THAN THE PARKING LAMPS. MOST HEADLIGHTS IN THIS CONDITION WILL NOT PASS STATE SAFETY INSPECTION REQUIRING OWNER TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT UNIT EVERY 3 YEARS AS THIS IS LSO A PROBLEM ON OEM REPLACEMENT PARTS.*AK

THE HEADLAMPS ON 1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII SHOW EARLY SIGNS OF AGING CAUSING THE INTENSITY OF THE LIGHT TO BE SUBSTANDARD. THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION.*AK

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A 1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE BRIGHTNESS AND THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED MAKING THE CAR MANUFACTURER JUSTIFY AND FIX THE PROBLEM. *JB

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES AND PULLING INSIDE OF A GAS STATION THE BRAKES FAILED. ALSO THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE WAS RUSTED. THE DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. *NLM
