EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A 1996 LINCOLN MARK VIII AND HAVE BECOME VERY CONSERNED ABOUT THE POOR LIGHTING THIS VEHICLE HAS DURING THE NIGHT HOURS. IT IS BECOMMING HARDER AND HARDER TO USE THE FACTORY LIGHTING TO HAVE A GOOD FISION OF THE AREA AHEAD AND ANY OBSTICALS THAT MIGHT BE THERE.*AK

STRUCTURE
HEATER/AC BLENDER DOOR FAILURE RESULTING IN NO HEAT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR SINCE DASH HAS TO BE PULLED---QUOTED BY DEALER TO BE $738. BECAUSE OF SO MANY OCCURRENCES WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPAIR? *NLM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW-BEAM HID HEADLAMP BEGAN FAILING, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, SINCE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE ELSE. THEN I FOUND OUT THAT PARTS WILL COST $780 ($200 FOR THE HEADLAMP + $580 FOR AN "UPGRADED" MOUNTING ASSEMBLY WHICH IS REQUIRED DUE TO PARTS OBSOLESCENCE AND A LINCOLN ENGINEERING MISTAKE). AFTER SOME COMPLAINING, I GOT FORD AND THE DEALER TO REDUCE COST TO $380 FOR PARTS PLUS $120 FOR LABOR. $500 TO REPLACE A HEADLIGHT (REQUIRED SAFETY FEATURE IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE! *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
REPLACE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY,COST $700.00 FORD SHOULD PAY FOR THIS. SINCE IT WAS THEIR FAULT FOR NOT STOCKING PARTS. USED PARTS WERE USED. I HAVE NOT WAY OF KNOWING HOW LONG THIS WILL LAST. IF MY OTHER SIDE GOES OUT I AM FACING ANOTHER EXPENSE OF REPLACING IT SINCE IT IS THE LAW TO DRIVE WITH HEAD LIGHTS ON WHEN RAINING OR THROUGH A CONSTRUCTION ZONE HERE IN PA. WHY SHOULD I AS A CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY SUCH A HIGH COST TO REPAIR THESE LIGHTS. IF I HAD KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE MADE SURE THAT I DID NOT BUY ONE OF THESE CARS,MADE IN JAN. THROUGH MARCH. I FEEL FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE OF ITS DESIGN FLAW. *NLM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
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

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
