1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII Complaints

DURING THE NIGHT HEADLIGHTS WERE SO FAINT THAT CONSUMER HAD USE THE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO SEE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIM MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. THIS FORCES THE DRIVER TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THE CONSUMER HAS MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE OWNER THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WIRING HAD MELT. *LA *NM

THE HEADLIGHT LENS PRODUCED A THICK FILM . AS A RESULT, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM, AND CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY AT NIGHT. *AK

WHILE DRIVING HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME AT NIGHT AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR FOUR DAYS, I COULD NOT DISTINGUISH IF MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON OR NOT. I THOUGHT MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING BUT I DID CHECK TO SEE IF THEY WERE OPERATIONAL THE DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR. IT WAS A DARK AND RAINY NIGHT AND THE OLDER NEIGHBORHOOD IN WHICH I HAVE LIVED NOW FOR EIGHT YEARS DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUET LIGHTING, AS A RESULT OF POOR HEADLIGHTS I COULD HAVE INJURED A PEDESTRIAN THAT EVING TRYING TO TURN ONTO MY STREET. *AK

HEADLIGHTS ARE TO DIM TO SEE AT NIGHT. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND NEAR MISSES ARE NEEDED BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED. IT'S NOT JUST A YELLOWING OF THE LENS, THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL ON THE INSIDE IS ACTUALLY BURNT! DOES SOMEBODY HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED. A SIMPLE RECALL OF THE DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY COULD SAVE LIVES. I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING SOMEONE BECAUSE THE LIGHT OUTPUT IS POOR. I WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT 20 MPH!!! *CB

WHILE DRIVING THE ABS WARNING LIGHT STAYED ON CONTINUOUSLY. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *NLM THE CONSUMER REQUESTED FOR A HIGHER RELIABILITY STANDARD FOR THE BRAKES. *SC

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY LICOLN ARE DEFECTIVE AND PROVIDE A VERY LOW LEVEL OF LIGHT ON THE ROAD. THIS BECAME MORE PREVELANT DURING A DRIVE IN A RURAL AREA WHILE ON VACATION. THE RIDE BECAME DANGEROUS AS THE ONLY WAY I COULD SAFELY SEE THE ROAD WAS WITH THE UTILIZATION OF MY HIGH BEAMS. THE MODEL IS A LINCOLN MARK VIII, 1994.*AK

HEADLIGHTS PLASTIC GOT GREY CAUSING POOR BRIGHTNESS. DEALER STATED CONSUMER NEEDED TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT COVER SYSTEM, AND WOULD COST $500.00, CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *AK

HEADLIGHT OUTPUT IS NOT SUFFICIENT, LIGHTING IS VERY BAD, EVEN WITH BRAND NEW FACTORY REPLACEMENTS. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT, AS THE ROAD IS NOT LIT OUT ENOUGH TO SEE PERSONS, ANIMALS OR OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE WAY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO RESOLVE THAT, AS IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT, HOPEFULLY NOT INVOLVING THE LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE. *JB

HEADLIGHTS ARE CLOUDY AND REFLECTIVE SURFACE INSIDE LIGHTS ARE PEELING NOT SURE IF THESE ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR OR FACTORY REPLACEMEMTS. ALSO,THE HEADLIGHTS UNSAFE AND VERY DIM! MY '93 ESCORT WITH 235,000 MILES AND ORIGINAL HEADLIGHTS IS BRIGHTER. DT
