2013 Ford Taurus Exterior lighting Problems

“Headlight system is poor on low beam. There is a horizontal line making definite division in visibility that extends across the complete horizontal line of vision. Going to high beams stops eliminates it. I nearly had an accident as I cannot see well on low beams. The same thing is reported by many owners of this vehicle. I stopped at the dealer, we looked at it, tried the lights and also tried to adjust them but the low beams just do not have a light pattern that allows the driver to see at a safe distance in front of the car at night. …”

“Recall 14r01 clearly states that if lens is cracked, or if I operate in corrosive environment , or if the customer is concerned they will replace lens. Well, I'm concerned and Ford is refusing to replace part because I don't live in corrosive environment. Again, there is an or if the customer is concerned clearly stated in the recall. Who would not be concerned if these things are cracking anywhere. I want the lens replaced and they won't do it because it is not cracked. I just want them to live up to the clearly stated or that I am concerned and replace the lens. They are refusing. …”

Why is it my 2006 mercury montego had factory hid headlights and now 7 years later they went backwards, as other cars are now using LED headlights? This was not the only time. …”

“Had issues with lights not working. Took it to get it fixed. They fixed it. Happened again a few days later. Went back in to get fixed. Later we were notified that the back trunk caught on fire. Bumper was melted and there was damage to the trunk lid. Items inside were fine. If it was being driven, I'm sure the driver would be dead. The fire was so close to the gas tank.”

“This is an on going issues the design of the halogen headlight lamp system on this car does not give out enough light. My lights only focus in one spot with light and everything else is dark. If aimed correctly I only have light maybe 15 feet in front of the car and I cannot see the road directly in front of the car. When it rains I am blind driving by other cars lights. I have taken this to Ford twice now and the keep readjusting the lights to throw the light out in front of the car leaving me not able to see the road in front of the car. …”
