THE PLASTIC HEADLIGHT LENSES ON THE HEADLIGHTS OF MY 1995 FORD ESCORT LX HAVE BECOME CLOUDY, YELLOWED AND OPAQUE. THIS CUTS DOWN NOTICEABLY ON THE ABILITY OF THE HEADLIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AT NIGHT, TRULY A SAFETY HAZARD. *NM
DRIVERS SIDE AUTOMATIC SEATBELT WILL NOT ENGAGE. INTERIOR LIGHT WILL NOT WORK.
THE HEADLIGHT LENSES ARE YELLOWED AND DISCOLLERED. THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT FROM THE HEADLIGHTS HAS BEEN REDUCED BY MORE THAN 50%. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN FOUR YEARS OLD, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON ANY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, FORD MOTOR AND THE FORD MOTOR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER. THEY SAID IT WAS MY PROBLEM TO FIX.
WHILE DRIVING HATCHBACK LIGHT COMES ON, BUT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE HATCHBACK. HOWEVER, LIGHT IS STILL ON. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION AND VIN#. *AK
HEADLIGHTS DIMMING WHEN A/C IS TURNED ON, REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES HOWEVER CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS.
DASHBOARD LIGHTS DIM OFF/ON CONTINUALLY, CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY.
RIGHT TURN SIGNAL FAILURE. *AK
HEAD, TAIL, DASH, AND BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK, THEY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. TT
