1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII Complaints

EXCESSIVE YELLOWING OF HEADLIGHT LENS TO THE POINT WHERE HEADLIGHTS ARE VIRTUALLY USELESS AT NIGHT. HAS NEARLY CAUSE SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. *JB

DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS: AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS, THE HEAD LIGHTS ON MY LINCOLN MARK VIII BECAUSE VERY DULL LOOKING. YOU CAN HARDLY SEE ANY LIGHTS ONE DURING THE NIGHT. I CONSTANTLY DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHTS ON AND IT STILL HARD TO SEE. WHEN I HAVE MY REGULAR LIGHT ON, IT LIKE DRIVING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A CANDLE AS MY LIGHT. *NM

MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE TURNED GREY AND ARE INCREDIBLY UNSAFE! I OWN A 1994 MARK VIII, AND VIRTUALLY ALL THESE CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE RECALL THEM - THEY COST $300 APIECE! *NM

1994 LINCOL MARK8 HAS POOR HEADLIGHTS/DESIGN. DIFFICULT TO SEE ROADWAY AT NIGHT. ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED WHICH TEMPORALY HELP, BUT THEY ARE FAILING AGAIN. VERY LITTLE LIGHT IS PROJECTED TO ROADWAY.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 1993-1996 LINCOLN MARK VIII BECOME UNUSABLE DUE TO POOR HEADLIGHT BUCKET DESIGN. PLEASE SEE ATTATCHED WEB ADDRESS FOR MORE ORMATION. ://WEB.WT.NET/~HOUTEX/MARKLIGHTS.HTM. *AK

1)WALKED INTO GARAGE IN EVENING AND FOUND WHITE, ACRID SMOKE. UPON PULLING CAR OUT OF GARAGE, HEARD WHOOSHING SOUND. 2 )UPON REMOVING THE RT FRONT FENDER WELL, FOUND THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATOR SWITCH HAD CAUGHT FIRE AND MELTED AND HAD MELTED THE RT FRONT AIR LINE TO SUSPENSION ROUTED ABOVE IT. LUCKY IT DIDN'T SET FIRE TO MY GARAGE. 3) I WILL NEED NEW AIR LINE (ORDERED FOR $15.00), WILL NEED SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATOR SWITCH AND CONNECTOR/ WIRING REPLACED, COST UNKNOWN-IF I CAN EVEN FIND THE PARTS. OF NOTE, THIS SWITCH HAS A PREVIOUS HISTORY OF FAILURE AND FIRES, BUT FORD HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS MAKE OR MODEL YEAR. SWITCH WAS LOCATED UNDER HOOD AND FORD RELOCATED IT TO RT FRONT FENDER WELL. THIS MAY HAVE CUT DOWN ON FIRES AS INTENSE, BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. THEIR FAILURE TO NOTIFY CONSUMERS CONCERNS ME. *JB
