| 1997 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS | HEADLIGHTS ON MY 1997 LINCOLN MARK VIII SUDDENLY WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH CAUSING A NEAR FATAL CRASH. I LUCKILY RAN OFF THE ROAD INTO A MUDDY GRASSY AREA AND BECAME STUCK AND NOT KILLED. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP ONLY TO FIND I COULD NOT AFFORD TO GET THE LIGHTS REPAIRED BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS CAR COST $1600.00. THE BRIGHT LIGHTS STILL WORK, IT WAS ONLY THE DIMM LIGHTS THAT WENT OUT FOR NO REASON. THE MANUFACTURE OF THESE LIGHTS SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR SELLING A PRODUCT THAT'S SUBSTANDARD TO MUCH CHEAPER AND SAFER HEADLIGHTS. IF A PAIR OF DIMM HEADLIGHTS COST $1600.00 THEY SHOULD LAST A LIFETIME. MY CAR HAS 60,000 MILES. I AM THINKING OF FILING A LAW SUIT.*AK |
| 1997 | INTERIOR LIGHTING | AUTOMATIC SENSOR OVERRIDES DRIVER'S ABILITY TO TURN ON DASHBOARD LIGHTS. QCAW |
