1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII Recalls, Complaints & Safety

1993 THROUGH EARLY 1996 LINCOLN MARK VIII'S HAVE A SERIOUS VISIBILITY PROBLEM AT NIGHT DUE TO THEIR INFERIOR HEADLIGHT DESIGN. BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHT PROFILE IS SO SLIM AND THE LENSES YELLOW SO EASILY WITH USE, YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING WHEN IT IS DARK. I FIND MYSELF CHECKING TO MAKE SURE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE IN FACT ON THEY ARE SO BAD. NO PRECAUTIONS CAN BE TAKEN TO PREVENT THIS LOW VISIBILITY SITUATION, IT IS A BAD DESIGN. FORD SWITCHED OVER TO HID IN 1996 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT US OLDER VEHICLE OWNERS WERE LEFT OUT WITH A DANGEROUS CAR AND OUR ONLY CHOICE IS TO PAY ONE THOUSAND PLUS DOLLARS FOR A RETROFIT KIT THAT WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR. *TR

THE HEAD LIGHTS ON THE 94 LINCOLN MARK 8 DO NOT PUT OUT ENOUGH LIGHT TO SAFELY SEE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE RD, IT APPEARS THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL IS GONE, THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN POLISHED TO REMOVE SCRATCHES AND YELLOWING, THEY WERE ALSO AIMED, TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE FORD DOES NOT OFFER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES FOR THIS CAR ANYMORE NOR DO THEY HAVE A SOLUTION TO FIX IT AVAILABLE. *TR

1994 LINCOLN MARK 8 HEADLIGHTS DESIGN DOES NOT PERMIT ADEQUATE LIGHTING FOR DRIVING AT NIGHT USING LOW BEAMS. BULBS WERE REPLACED WITH HIGHER POWER BULBS AND THE LIGHTING STILL DOES NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS 2 DEFECTS WHICH I HAVE NOTICED ON NUMEROUS OTHER CARS LIKE MINE, EVEN LATER MODEL YEARS. THE HEADLIGHTS BECOME VERY DULL AND YELLOWED AFTER 3-4 YEARS, TO THE POINT THAT YOU HAVE TO DRIVE WITH HIGHBEAMS ON ALL THE TIME JUST TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD. I HAVE SEEN THIS AS THE #1 COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS MODEL CAR ON NUMEROUS BLOGS. THE 2ND PROBLEM IS WITH THE SEAL AROUND THE BACK WINDSHIELD. IT WARPS AFTER A FEW YEARS. VIRTUALLY EVERY MARK VIII THAT I SEE HAS THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR BECAUSE THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD HAS TO BE REMOVED, AND THE BACK WINDSHIELD IS MUCH MORE COMPLICATED THAN THE FRONT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED ITSELF. THE CONTACT COULD NOT DEACTIVATE THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. SHE PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE REVVED BEFORE BURSTING INTO FLAMES. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE, BUT THE FUEL RAIL AND FUEL PUMP WERE DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC CENTER. THE DEALER INFORMED HER TO NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FIRE. SHE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AFTER THE FIRE OCCURRED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 3/3/09 *CN UPDATED 03/04/09. *JB

Fire

93 THROUGH 96 LINCOLN MARK VIII HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY THE PROBLEM IS ONE OF MANY FACTORS: HEAT, PLASTIC, ULTRAVIOLET EXPOSURE, BAD DESIGN, ALL ROLLED UP INTO A NICE MESS. THE HALOGEN BULBS USED ARE QUITE HOT. THIS IS A KNOWN FACT. ADD IN THE SHORT HEIGHT OF THE HOUSING, AND YOU HAVE A REAL PROBLEM. ALSO, INSIDE THE LOW BEAM HOUSING, THERE IS A DIFFUSER, WHICH IS USED TO CUT DOWN THE DIRECT LIGHT FROM THE BULB, AND PRODUCE A SLIGHTLY LOWER INTENSITY BEAM. ALL OF THESE "FEATURES" OF THE ASSEMBLY CONTRIBUTE TO GENERATING SO MUCH TRAPPED HEAT FROM THE BULB, THE TOP SIDE OF THE REFLECTOR MATERIAL IS BURNED AWAY. THIS REDUCES THE REFLECTIVE QUALITIES OF THE REFLECTOR, OF COURSE, BUT IT ALSO LEAVES A BLACK AND YELLOW CHARRED AREA WHICH ACTUALLY ABSORBS SOME OF THE LIGHT. NOT ONLY IS THERE LESS LIGHT BEING REFLECTED FROM THE TOP (AND THIS IS IMPORTANT IN THE DESIGN OF THE LIGHT ITSELF), THERE IS LESS LIGHT IN GENERAL DUE TO THE DARKENED SPOT! THE PROBLEM IS SO SEVERE THAT I BELIEVE, GIVEN ENOUGH TIME, THE ASSEMBLY ITSELF WILL ACTUALLY MELT AWAY. THERE IS SIMPLY NO WHERE FOR THE HEAT TO GO, EXCEPT UP. NOW COUPLE THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE FACT THAT THE PLASTIC CLEAR LENS TENDS TO NOT ONLY YELLOW WITH AGE (DUE TO CLEANING PROBLEMS AND ULTRAVIOLET EXPOSURE) BUT ALSO START TO HAVE HUNDREDS OF TINY STRESS CRACKS IN THE LENS ITSELF. THE YELLOW DIMS THE LIGHT AGAIN, AND THE TINY CRACKS DIFFUSE THE REMAINING LIGHT. THE RESULT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION OF LOW LIGHTING OF THE ROAD. ALL IN ALL, A PRETTY BAD SYSTEM FOR SOMETHING THAT CAME ON A $35,000-$45,000 CAR, DON'T YOU THINK? *TR

THIS CAR IS OK IF YOU DRIVE IT IN THE DAY LIGHT HOURS I TRY TO GET HOME BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN ON DOES NOT LIGHT THE ROAD AND THE PRICE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS OUTRAGEOUS THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED YOU CANT SEE AT NIGHT HAD THIS CAR FOR SEVERAL YEARS AS HAME I REFUSE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT IN THIS CAR. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD REGARDING RECALL #05S28, FOR THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH BACK IN AUGUST OF 2007. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER IN FORT COLLINS, CO AND THEY DID A SNIP AND TAPE. I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED A LETTER DATED FEBRUARY 2008 STATING THAT THE PARTS WERE IN FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP, SPRADLEY BARR, HAS SUPPOSEDLY PUT MY NAME ON A LIST TO BE CALLED WHEN THEY ARE READY TO REPAIR. I THINK IT HAS BEEN QUITE LONG ENOUGH TO WAIT FOR SUCH A PART. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE SO MANY LINCOLN MARK VIII'S OUT THERE THAT MINE CAN'T GET THE PART. *TR

1994 AND 1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII WITH CRUISE CONTROL RECALL. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISCONNECTED IN BOTH VEHICLES. HE STATES HE RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE YET WHEN REPAIRED CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK ON THE 94 LINCOLN MARK VIII. *KB THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE 94 LINCOLN NEEDED A NEW SERVO THAT WOULD COST $436.00 AND ALSO A NEW SWITCH AND WIRING. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED FINE BEFORE THE DEALER DISCONNECTED IT. *JB

THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED PREMATURELY CAUSING MULTIPLE NIGHT TIME ACCIDENTS, EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT NIGHT TIME VISIBILITY IS POOR AT BEST. *TR

Crash

94 MARK VIII - SO DIM POLICE STOPPED TO ADVISE! *TR

IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION SINCE PURCHASING MY 1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS MODEL FOR THE YEARS 1993 TO 1995 ARE OF POOR DESIGN AND ARE AN EXTREME HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE LOW BEAM REFLECTORS FAIL OVER A SHORT TIME CAUSING UP TO 90% LOSS OF CANDLE POWER RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNUSABLE AT NIGHT UNLESS USING THE HIGH BEAMS ALL THE TIME, CAUSING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR ONCOMING DRIVERS. I AM REQUESTING THE ASSISTANCE OF THE NHTSA IN THIS MATTER, AS IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURE HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR SOME TIME AND IS NOT WILLING TO RECONCILE. *TR

HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS REFLECTIVE SURFACE NO LONGER REFLECTIVE AND PLASTIC LENSES ON FRONT OF HOUSINGS HAVE BECOME FOGGY. LIGHT OUTPUT WITH LOW BEAMS IS HARDLY MORE NOTICEABLE THAN DRIVING WITH JUST PARKING LIGHTS. THIS MAKES FOR VERY POOR NIGHT VISIBILITY DUE TO SEVERE DEGRADATION OF OEM HEADLAMP SYSTEM AND THAT THIS MAKES NIGHT DRIVING DANGEROUS IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE WITH OUT SOME SORT OF AFTERMARKET LIGHTING SYSTEM OR OEM REPLACEMENTS WHICH WILL SOON FAIL AND CAUSE THE ISSUE ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN WORKMANSHIP AND/OR DESIGN FLAW AND FORD/LINCOLN/MERCURY NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITH THE 93-95 MARK VIII'S WITH HALOGEN BULBS SYSTEMS BEFORE ACCIDENTS ARE CAUSED, LIVES LOST AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS BEGIN. *CN

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 1994 LINCOLN MARK 8 ARE TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE IN QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE. THESE ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT THE WORST OEM LIGHTS EVER PRODUCED. THEY ARE DANGEROUS DUE TO THEIR TERRIBLE LIGHT OUTPUT AND DEFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION!! LINCOLN WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND DOES NOT PRODUCE REPLACEMENT PART FOR THIS CAR. THIS CAR HES BECOME UNDRIVEABLE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE CONSTRUCTION OF THE OEM LIGHT HOUSINGS! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! PLEASE TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION!! *TR

POOR NIGHT DRIVE ABILITY DUE TO POOR OEM DESIGN OF HEADLIGHT SYSTEM. LIGHTS GET FADED OVER TIME AND THE INTERIOR REFLECTOR MATERIAL BAKES OFF. CONVERT TO A NEWER HID SYSTEM IS A VERY VIABLE SOLUTION . *TR

HEADLIGHTS ARE "YELLOWED" AND LOW BEAMS ARE PRACTICALLY USELESS. *TR

HEADLIGHTS, MAKE DRIVING AT NIGHT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE AND I WON'T EVEN TRY WHEN ITS RAINING.IVE REPLACED THEM BUT THEY DULLOUT. *TR

HEAD LIGHTS ON MY 1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII ARE VERY DULL. THIS IS DO TO THE REFLECTIVE SHIELD PITTING. LINCOLN ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT FIX IT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY ON THIS PROBLEM. *NM

FAULTY HEADLIGHT LENSES THEY GET YELLOWED AND BURN FROM THE INSIDE WHICH MAKES VISIBILITY AT NIGHT VERY POOR. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON YOU CANT EVEN TELL THAT THEY ARE ON AND IT IS EVEN WORSE IN THE RAIN. *NM

HEADLIGHTS ON 94 LINCOLN MARK VIII, EXTREMELY POOR, CAN'T TELL LOW BEAMS FROM PARK LIGHTS... *JB

MY 1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII HEADLIGHTS HAVE SUFFERED EXTREME DIMMING DUE TO SOME DEFECT IN THE LENSES. THIS IS TYPICAL OF ALL MARK VIIIS. *JB

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON 1994 LINCOLN MK VIII ARE SO DIM THAT THE ROAD MARKING LINES CAN NOT BE SEEN DIRECTLY IN FROM OF THE CAR. I HAVE TO RUN WITH HIGH-BEAMS AT NIGHT IN ORDER TO SEE ANYTHING. *NM

I HAVE A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH MY LINCOLN MARK VIII. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BECOMING SEVERELY YELLOWED AND I CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT THE BRIGHTS ON. IT HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS CAUSED ME TO CEASE TRAVELING AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE STRAIN IT PUTS ON MY VISION. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS, THANKFULLY WITHOUT INJURY OR DAMAGE WHERE THE DULL HEADLAMPS ARE TO BLAME. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS BY PURCHASING EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT BULBS AND EVEN INSTALLING AFTERMARKET LAMPS BUT THE LENS IS TO BLAME, NOT THE BULB OR LAMP. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MATTER FOR FORD TO FIX. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE HAD IT EVER SINCE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE VERY POOR VISIBILITY, WHETHER THE LIGHTS ARE ON BRIGHT OR DIM. THE LENS COVER ON BOTH HEADLIGHTS ARE YELLOWED AND SCRATCHED. THE DEALER STATED THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE.

WHEN IM DRIVING MY 1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII AT NIGHT I CAN'T SEE WITH MY DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS. *NM

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII HEADLIGHTS ARE INHERENTLY DEFECTIVE. DETERIORATING TO THE POINT OF USELESSNESS. EVEN WHEN REPLACED WITH NEW FACTORY REPLACEMENTS THIS DETERIORATION PROCESS HAPPENS AGAIN. I FINALLY HAD TO REPLACE MINE WITH 1995 LINCOLN MARK VIII LSC HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE HID HEADLIGHTS THESE ARE OF DIFFERENT DESIGN AND ARE SUPERIOR TO THE STANDARD HEADLIGHT DESIGN. THESE HID HEADLIGHTS COST OVER 1200.00 DOLLARS TO PURCHASE. *JB

1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII. HEADLIGHTS ARE FAULTY AND UNSAFE FOR NIGHT DRIVING, AS THEY LOSE THEIR REFLECTIVE ABILITY AFTER A FEW YEARS. FORD WANTS $500.00 FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS ONLY. *JB

MY 1994 LINCOLN MARK VIII HEAD LAMPS ARE CLOUDING, AND I HAVE A HORRIBLE TIME WITH NIGHTTIME VISIBILITY DUE TO BARLEY ANY LIGHT COMING OUT OF MY HEADLAMPS. I WENT TO THE NEAREST LINCOLN DEALER AND THEY SAID TO BUY MCGUIGERS PLASTIC POLISH AND IT SHOULD TAKE THE CLOUDINESS OUT, BUT IT DIDN'T. SOMETIMES EVEN IN NORMAL CONDITIONS I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON TO BE ABLE TO SEE. *JB

THE HEADLIGHT ARE VERY BAD. ESPECIALLY DURING THE RAIN OR AT NIGHT. I THINK THAT ALL THE LINCOLN MARK VIII'S FROM 93 TO 95 SHOULD GET THE HID HEADLIGHTS THAT THE 96 HAS.*JB

HEADLIGHTS ARE INADEQUATE AND ARE VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. I CAN'T SEE WITH LOW BEAMS AND CAN BARELY SEE WITH HIGH BEAMS. *JB

DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS: AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS, THE HEAD LIGHTS ON MY LINCOLN MARK VIII BECAUSE VERY DULL LOOKING. YOU CAN HARDLY SEE ANY LIGHTS ONE DURING THE NIGHT. I CONSTANTLY DRIVE WITH MY BRIGHTS ON AND IT STILL HARD TO SEE. WHEN I HAVE MY REGULAR LIGHT ON, IT LIKE DRIVING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A CANDLE AS MY LIGHT. *NM

MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE TURNED GREY AND ARE INCREDIBLY UNSAFE! I OWN A 1994 MARK VIII, AND VIRTUALLY ALL THESE CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE RECALL THEM - THEY COST $300 APIECE! *NM
