1995 FORD EXPLORER EDDIE BAUER. HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, FOUND OUT THROUGH RESEARCH THAT IT IS THE LAMP OUTAGE MODULE LOCATED IN THE CONSOLE OF THE CAR.

I HAVE A 1995 FORD EXPLORER WHICH THE HEADLIGHT SENSOR CONTINUOUSLY GOES BAD WHICH WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE IF THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD CONTINUE TO WORK WITHOUT IT. WHEN THIS SENSOR, WHICH HAS GONE BAD TWICE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE, FAILS I SHOULD NOT BE MADE AWARE OF THIS UNTIL THE HEADLIGHT GOES BAD AND THE SENSOR DOES NOT ALERT ME. WHEN THE SENSOR GOES BAD I GET AN INDICATION THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE OUT AND WHEN REPLACED THEY ARE STILL OUT BECAUSE THE TRUE PROBLEM IS THE SENSOR HAS GONE BAD. HOW A SENSOR GOES BAD WHEN IT STILL SENSES THE LAMP NOT FUNCTIONING IS BEYOND ME. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFICIENCY IN MY OPINION AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RECALLING THIS ITEM DUE TO THE OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE SENSORS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER AND REPLACED WITH A...

#10007579 | February 16, 2003

I HAVE 2 FORD VEHICLES FROM MID 1990'S. THE HEADLIGHTS ON EACH HAVE LONG SINCE BECOME THOROUGHLY OPACIFIED. MY GUESS IS THAT THIS OPACITY OCCURRED WITHIN THE FIRST 2 TO 4 YEARS. ACCORDING MY MECHANIC (WHO IS A "FORD MAN"), "THIS IS A VERY CHARACTERISTIC AND LONGSTANDING FLAW WITH THE FORD BRAND, YOU WOULD THINK FORD WOULD HAVE DEALT WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE LONG AGO, BUT FORD HAS NOT AND CONTINUES NOT TO DEAL WITH IT." THIS SAFETI ISSUE/PROBLEM NOT INEXPENSIVE TO REMEDY.

#758933 | March 7, 2002

HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES WERE ORIGINALLY CLEAR PLASTIC BUT HAVE AGED NOT VERY WELL TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE OPAQUE (CLOUDY) AND I FEEL THE LIGHT OUTPUT HAS DIMINISHED CONSIDERABLY BELOW ORIGINAL LUMEN LEVELS. I HAVE NOTICED MAJORITY OF FORD PRODUCTS THAT ARE OVER 3-4 YEARS OF AGE HAVE CLOUDED PLASTIC HEADLAMPS. CLOSE EXAMINATION REVEALS SLIGHT CRAZING OF THE PLASTIC OUTER SURFACE AS WELL AS GENERAL DULLNESS OF THE PLASTIC.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

#882593 | March 9, 2001

LENSES ON HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME DISCOLORED. DEALER SAID YES IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. BUT SINCE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WOULD DO NOTHING . CONSUMER WENT, AND HAD POLICE LOOK AT HEADLIGHTS,.THEY STATED YES HE WOULD BE PULLED OVER AND CITED DUE TO HEADLIGHTS NOT BEING BRIGHT ENOUGH. *AK THE CONSUMER BELIEVES IT IS THE DEALER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE HEAD LIGHTS. *YH
