EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE CONSUMERS WASHED THE VEHICLE AND THE NEXT DAY NOTICED THAT WATER WAS BEHIND THE RIGHT HEADLAMP INDICATING THAT IT WAS LEAKING. THEY THEN NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, AND UNDER WARRANTY, THE CONSUMERS WERE INSTRUCTED TO LEAVE THE HEADLIGHTS ON FOR 15 MINUTES, AND THIS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT DID NOT. THE CONSUMER THEN CALLED FORD TO INFORM THEM THAT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED AND WANTED FORD TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP., FORD IN RETURN STATED THAT THEIR POLICY ON THIS PROBLEM WAS TO TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS NOT REPLACE THE LEAKING HEADLAMP. THE CONSUMER TURNED THE LIGHTS ON AGAIN FOR ANOTHER 45 MINUTES,BUT THERE WAS STILL WATER BEHIND THE HEADLAMP COVER. THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE WATER CONDENSATION ON THE HEADLIGHT LAMP COVER WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT THAT IS TRANSMITTED BY THE HEADLIGHT TO THE ROADWAY, LIMITING VISION FOR NIGHT DRIVING. *SCC *NLM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE HEADLIGHT COVERS ON THE VEHICLE COLLECT MOISTURE AND FOG OVER TO THE EXTENT THAT VISIBILITY IS IMPAIRED. THE MOISTURE DOES NOT GO AWAY, CLEAR UP, OR DISPERSE. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN REPORTED IN A TECH. SERVICE BULLETIN FROM LINCOLN IN JANUARY, 2002. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE AUTO ARE INEFFECTIVE WITH THE MOISTURE BUILD-UP. IT IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION. TS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I AM A 57 YEAR OLD REGISTERD NURSE. I WENT TO WORK AT SAINT ELIZABETHS HOSPITAL IN BRIGHTON. I STOPPED AT THE PARKING GARAGE ENTRANCE TO GET A PARKING TICKET. WHEN THE ARM WENT AND I BE GAN TO PULL IN TO THE GARAGE THE GAS PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE UNCONTROLABLY . I HAD BOTH FEET PRESSED FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TRYING TO STOP THE CAR. IT RACED FORWARD WITH THE WHEELS SCREECHING ON THE GARAGE FLOOR, I WAS TERRIFIED. THE CAR HIT A PARKED CAR WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT SPUN THE CAR 180 DEGREES AROUND. ALL DURING THIS TIME 5 TO 10 SECONDS AND ABOUT 100 FEET THE ENGINE WAS RACING AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS FLOORED. BOTH MY FEET WERE FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TRYING TO STOP THE CAR. I HOPE SOMEONE TAKES THIS COMPLAINT SERIOUSLY AND MAKES THE DEALER FIX THIS CAR BEFORE I OR SOMEONE ELSE GETS KILLED. I AM TERRIFIED THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN, AND I AM THOUROUGHLY UPSET THAT THIS IS NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY. I SEE FROM YOUR BOARD THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. TS

AIR BAGS
PURCHASED CAR USED BUT STILL UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT STILL IS NOT FIXED. HAVE ASKED FOR THE DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE TO LOOK AT THE CAR TO EITHER REPLACE OR REFUND MY MONEY. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO DO SO. ALSO I WAS IN A LOANER LS WHICH WAS A 2002 MODEL THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR PERIODS OF TIMES. I SUSPECT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THERE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR.*AK

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
BOTH REAR WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED. THE REPLACEMENT WINDOW REGULATOR ON THE REAR LEFT FAILED AND RESULTED IN A SHATTERED WINDOW WHICH THEN DAMAGED THE DOOR PAINT. SHODDY REPAIR WORK THEN LED TO FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE PAINT AND FINISH. THE FAULTY WINDOW REGULATORS APPEAR TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM, SINCE I KNOW OF ANOTHER LS OWNER WITH THE SAME CHRONIC PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM AT THE WRONG TIME OR PLACE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUES. DOES NOT GIVE ONE A GOOD FEELING ABOUT WHEN THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THE FIX APPLIED DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY BETTER THATN THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT THAT FAILED. FORD NEEDS TO DEVELOP A SOLID FIX FOR THIS LUXURY VEHICLE WITH WINDOWS THAT DO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY.*AK
