Consumer Description

DT: 2000 FORD TAURUS STATION WAGON. THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS CLOUDY AND GOT MOISTURE ON THE INSIDE OF THE PLASTIC ITSELF. IT SWEATS FROM THE INSIDE. CALLED MANUFACTURER, AND ASKED FOR ANY RECALLS OR PROBLEMS ON THE HEADLIGHTS. THEY SAID NO. THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR THIS WAS TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS FOR A COST OF $155.00 AND WITH ONLY A YEAR WARRANTY OR 12,000 MILE. CONSUMER SPOKE TO A JUNK YARD, AND THEY SAID THAT THIS HAD BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 1985. CONSUMER OWNED THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW, I, AND JUST NOTICED THIS LAST WEEK. CONSUMER INSPECTED VEHICLE AND COULD NOT FIND ANY I SEAL FRACTURES OR BROKEN LENSES ON THE LIGHT OR ASSEMBLY. *AK
