Headlights problems of the 2001 Ford Escape

The contact owns a 2001 Ford Escape. The contact stated that the plastic cable connector above the headlight began to melt. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact also mentioned that the part was previously replaced. The failure was persistent. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 200,000.

In my 2001 Ford Escape XLT both front headlights have lost their seals, at separate times without any damange to the vehicle having occurred, and water enter the light compartment, difusing the headlight and necessitating about $300 in replacement costs, each. I just find it very strange that both lights have had the same problem and it is an unusual problem to begin with. The driver side headlight went around June 2004 and the passenger side one just broke.

While traveling on the highway the headlight will come on and off intermittently. The dealership is aware of the problem. The low beam fails intermittently and is unpredictable.
