One problem related to headlights has been reported for the 1998 Ford Escort. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The headlamp covers are awful and dangerous. They are so cloudy they make visibility almost nil in many circumstances (esp foggy nights). I feel the material they are made of is sub par, causing the problem and there should be a recall on them.
