1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII Complaints

THIS IS A COMPLAINT OF A NATURE OF FAILING HEADLIGHTS ON 1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII HEADLIGHTS . THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS MODEL ARE UNSAFE AS ALL 1993-1996 FIRST GENERATIONS MARK VIII ARE.AFTER MANY HOURS OF RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET , AND THE MANY COMPLAINTS IV'E SINCE SEEN I BELIEVE FORD KNEW THIS PROBLEM EXSISTED. THESE CARS ARE VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO FIX FOR THERE PROBLEM BUYING NEW HEADLIGHTS FROM FORD, OUR ONLY OPTION IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM SINCE NEW ONES FAIL SHORTLEY AFTER BEING INSTALLED. *AK

HEADLIGHTS HAVE SLOWLY DIMMED OVER THE YEARS. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT ANY LONGER.*AK

WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED EMERGENCY BRAKE DID NOT DISENGAGE WHEN THE LEVER WAS RELEASED. ALSO, THE BRAKES WOULD LOCK UP THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS FOR THESE PROBLEMS.*AK

PAID FOR NEW AIR RIDE SYSTEM AND WHEN IT FAILED. THE SERVICE DEPT. AT EUFAULA FORD REFUSED TO FIX IT. THE CAR IS A 1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII THAT WE TRADED FOR AND HAD ALL THE MECHANICAL WORK DONE AT THE SAME DEALER. AFTER SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS OF REPAIR BILLS THEY EXPECT ME TO KEEP PAYING EVERY TIME I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK FOR THE SAME THING. I ONLY WANT WHAT I PAID FOR. THE AIR RIDE SYSTEM COMPLETELY COLLAPSED AND THE CAR WAS UNDRIVABLE. IT HAD TO BE LOADED ON A FLAT BED TRUCK AND HAULED TO THEM. THEY THEN SAID THEY SLAMMED THE DOOR A FEW TIMES AND IT AIRED BACK UP. THEY LET IT SIT ON THEIR LOT FOR 5 DAYS AND CALLED ME TO SAY NOTHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO DO IT AGAIN! NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT COULD COLLAPSE AT ANY TIME ANY I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED. PLEASE HELP. *LA

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHT TO DRIVE IN DARK CONDITIONS. *NM

1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII. THIS IS A 35,000 TO 40,000 DOLLAR CAR WHEN IT WAS NEW AND IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF VERY POOR HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FOR ALL 1993 AND 1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS AT NIGHT.*AK

CAN NOT SEE ROAD WHEN THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CHANGED BULBS, CLEANED AND POLISHED LENS. WAS AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF WEB SITES WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. MUST DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON FULL TIME OR NIGHT DRIVING IS IMPOSSIBLE AND UNSAFE. HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING AT NIGHT.WITH SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS.*AK

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND ARE A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS DESIGN. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS TO VARIOUS AGENCY'S AND TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR FORD TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. ARE THEY WAITING FOR DEATHS BEFORE ANY ACTION WILL BE TAKEN? *JB

I HAVE A 1993 LINCOLN MARK VIII AND, AS I AM SURE THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP, THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE VERY VERY POOR FOR NIGHT TIME DRIVING. EVEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE POOR. I HAVE VISITED MANY WEBSITES ON THIS MANNER AND HAVE FOUND THAT I AM ONE OF MANY WITH THIS COMPLAINT ON THE GEN I MARK VIII. *JB

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN THE RAIN WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK
