The contact owns a 1999 Ford Taurus sport. The contact stated that the vehicle's headlights blink intermittently, day and night. She could drive 20 miles and the headlights would blink for approximately three to four minutes before dimming. The Ford dealer kept the vehicle for five days and was unable to determine the cause of failure. She stated that the failure is embarrassing because it gives mixed signals to oncoming traffic. The current mileage is 29,000 and failure mileage was 15,000. Updated 02-01-08.

I want to complain about the new, ultra bright lights on other cars. They blind me at night and I feel that they are very unsafe.

Headlights continually dim when braking, when the air conditioning cuts on, and during turns. Lighting is minimal at these times and makes it difficult to see. The car has done this since initial purchase and continues today. This is the second Taurus we have owned with this problem. One dealer told us that it was our imagination and they could not find the problem.

Headlights do not provide enough light on road to be able to see road lines/markings. Dealership has examined vehicle and determined that headlight aiming meets requirements. Consumer feels that this is a serious safety issue of not being able to see the road.
