The headlight covers have lost their protective coating which restricts over half of the light visibility driving in dark conditions or at night. Took to a dealer and service manager said this was an issue with these vehicles for about 3 years before the type of plastic was changed on them. Consumer has not had this replaced.

Headlights night vision is very poor on high beam, and low beam is poor ly constructed. Consumer can't tell the difference between high and low beam.

Light from headlights is not bright enough and does not provide enough light on the road. Problem was reported to manufacturer. Ford settlement dispute board stated that problem will have to be resolved. Ford has said that they don't intend to do anything to fix the problem.
