| 1997 | VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM | THIS BLEND DOOR PART ON ALMOST ALL 97 & 98 MODEL OF THE MARK VIII FAILS IT IS A SAFTEY FACTOR. WHEN THIS PART FAILS, THERE IS NO HEAT WITH NO HEAT THE DE-FROSTER DOES NOT WORK!!. HOW MANY TIMES, HAVE HAD TO USE A TOWEL TO WIPE THE WINDOW, SO I COULD SEE! THE PART IS ABOUT $30.00 BUT THE LABOR CAN RUN BETWEEN $400 AND $600. DT |
| 1997 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST AMOUNT OF SNOW, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO HAVE ANY TRACTION. THIS IS REGARDLESS OF THE TRACTION CONTROL. IT APPEARS THAT THE LARGE HIGH TORQUE ENGINE COMBINED WITH THE REAR WHEEL DRIVE AND MINIMAL REAR WEIGHT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. |
