| 1995 | VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM | IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD ON FOGGY AND ICEY DAYS, WITH THE ENGINE COMPLETELY WARMED UP AT ANY TIME. THE HEAT IS RAISED TO 90, THERE IS NO HEAT AVAILABLE, ALL OTHER TEMPERATURES ARE GOOD. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR FAILS, OR THE LEVER BRAKES, DUE TO A STICKY BLEND DOOR. I FIND THIS PROBLEM TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IF IT OCCURES WHILE DRIVING. OTHER OWNERS HAVE STATED THAT IT HAPPENS OFTEN, EVEN AFTER REPAIR, AND THAT NEW COMPONENTS ALSO FAIL. DT |
| 1993 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS | THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM ON LOW BEAM THAT YOU CAN HARDLY DRIVE AT NIGHT, AND COMPLETE NEW ONE DO NOT HELP. EVERY ONE THAT I HAVE TALKED TO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS (93-95 MARK VIII) |
