2000 Ford Taurus headlights failed. The headlight seals failed which allowed moisture to form on the inside surface of the lens. This reduces the amount of light given off by 10-25%.
2000 Ford Taurus. Driving at night, headlights and all running-park lights failed. Parked car and idled while trying different headlight switch positions. After about 15 minutes, lighting resumed normal operation. Dealer (of course) could find no problems nor cause of the failure. Factory customer support was contacted, and have yet to receive call-back.
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 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.
There is a recall on this component however my car isn't covered. I would like reimbursement since I was required to replace the entire switch assembly and not just the knob.
