    PURCHASED VEHICLE IN 1998 (2YR LEASE VEHICLE). FROM 1998-2001 THERE HAVE BEEN TWO ENGINES REPLACED. FORD HAS REPLACED BUT NOT ADDRESSED WHY THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE ON A 3RD ENGINE AND YET WAS APPROX 4+ YRS OLD WHEN 1ST ENGINE WAS REPLACED. FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS FEB 25, 2000 BY CAPITAL FORD (SAN JOSE, CALIF). WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS VIBRATION OF 3RD ENGINE, PAINT DECOLORATION AND FADING AIRCONDITIONER. *AK

    LOWBEAM HEADLAMPS ARE NOT ADEQUATE FOR NIGHT TIME TRAVEL. LIGHTS ARE DIM WITH A BLOTCHY PATTERN. HIGH BEAM LAMPS ARE ADEQUATE. LAMPS ARE ACCURATELY ADJUSTED. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM ON CERTAIN MARK VIII MODELS WITH HID HEADLAMPS. FORD SHOULD RECALL THE MARK VIII MODELS AND FIT ADEQUATE HEADLAMPS.*AK

    CONSUMER HAD TO CONTINUALLY ADD AIR PRESSURE TO RIGHT FRONT TIRE BECAUSE WHEEL RIM HAS BEEN BENT ALLOWING AIR PRESSURE TO BE RELEASED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS. *NOTE: CONSUMER FEELS THAT THIS COULD ALSO BE A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH FORD/FIRESTONE ISSUE IF CONSUMERS WERE DRIVING IN VEHICLES WITH BENT RIMS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN LOWER THAN SUGGESTED PRESSURE IN THE TIRES. *AK

    THE HEADLAMPS ON THE VEHICLE PROVIDED LITTLE LIGHT, AND THUS, LIMITED VISIBILTY IN LIGHTLESS SITUATIONS. ACCEPTABLE VISIBILTY IS LIMITED TO (AN ESTIMATED) 25 FT. EVEN CONSTANT USE OF THE HIGH BEAMS (WHICH IS A DANGER TO OTHER MOTORISTS, THOUGH MANY DO NOT SEEM TO NOTICE) PROVIDES LITTLE MORE THAN SLIGHTLY ACCEPTABLE LIGHT.*AK
