This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
1995 Ford tauras and the headlights have discolored so badly that it is very difficult to see at night. I have tried all types of plastic cleaners and nothing works. The only alternative is to replace the lens with new. I called Ford and they have no recall for this hazardous condition. I have also noticed other tauras' on the road with the same condition.
Headlights are fogged, causing bad lighting. Independent mechanic stated problem was the lens. The consumer stated he had to use high beams to see anything at night.
While driving the vehicle the headlights go out. Dealer has fixed and problem still exists. First occasion, dealer stated problem was fixed and when consumer came to pick up vehicle, found a dashboard light for the headlights was not lit, on the 3rd day of repair, dealer stated a wire had broken in the connector to the multi-function switch, this had been replaced 2 years prior, other electical components have failed including the door locks, seat belt buzzers, key left in ignition buzzer, courtesy light, and others, consumer told dealer that on one occasion while shutting the driver's door she could hear a noise that sounded like something was shorting out.
