1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND DO NOT REFLECT ENOUGH LIGHT. AFTER MY MOTHER COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD AND RAN OFF AND HAD AN ACCIDENT I INSTALLED HID BULBS BUT STILL THE SAME PROBLEM DUE TO THE HOUSING GIVING VERY LITTLE REFLECTION OUT TO THE ROAD.

I OWN A 1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII. ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 2006, WHILE I WAS ASLEEP IN MY HOME, MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. THE IGNITION WAS OFF. THE LAST IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN WAS THE PREVIOUS NIGHT. IT WAS PARKED AROUND 6:00 P.M. ON THE 11TH OF AUGUST. I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN IT WAS ON FIRE IF THE NEIGHBOR HAD NOT SEEN THE FIRE AND BEAT ON MY DOOR TO WAKE ME UP. *NM

STOCK AND STANDARD AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHTS ON GENERATION ONE LINCOLN MARK VIII ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IN PLACES LIKE WASHINGTON STATE. I HAVE RUN OFF THE ROAD MANY OCCASIONS. HEADLIGHTS DO NOT GIVE ENOUGH LIGHT TO SAFELY DRIVE AT NIGHT OR IN RAIN/BAD WEATHER. PERSONALLY I HAVE HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS DO TO THE LACK OF LIGHT AND OR HAD TO USE BRIGHTS. IF IT EVER DOES HAPPEN I WILL DEFIANTLY GO AFTER FORD MOTOR COMPANY. YOU PLAIN AND SIMPLY CAN'T SEE THE ROAD, ANYTHING ON THE ROAD, STREET

POORLY DESIGNED HEADLIGHTS THAT WERE UPGRADED BY LINCOLN IN 1996 THE UPGRADE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RETROFIT INTO THE 1993-1995 CARS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ALONG THE SAME LINES AS MAKING ANTILOCK BRAKES OPTIONAL. SAFETY FEATURES ARE NOT OPTIONS! *NM

AS THE CONSUMER PULLED INSIDE THE PARKING LOT, TRAVELING AT 25MPH AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT THE CONSUMER'S VEHICLE FROM THE SIDE AND THE DUAL AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK *SCC

THE STOCK HEADLIGHTS ARE INADEQUATE AND UNSAFE. WE HIT A DEER. LINCOLN SHOULD REPLACE STOCK LIGHTS WITH THE HID VERSION. MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE ALMOST KILLED HITTING A DEER. THE STANDARD LIGHTS ARE SO BAD WE DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE PERFORM EXTREMELY POOR AND DUE TO BAD DESIGN, THE LIGHT OUTPUT BECOMES EXTREMELY LOW WITH TIME DUE TO MELTING OF THE REFLECTIVE HOUSING AND BAD WIRING. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT OR IN POOR WEATHER(RAIN). I HAVE NEARLY GOTTEN INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS ON THE FREEWAYS SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR DUE TO THE LIGHTS NOT GIVING GOOD VISIBILITY. ALSO, FORD IS PRICE GAUGING CUSTOMERS FOR REPLACING THE HEADLIGHTS ON THESE VEHICLES(CHARG
