Lincoln Mark Viii owners have reported 3 problems related to wiper (under the visibility category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The headlights are very dim and do not reflect enough light. After my mother could not see the road and ran off and had an accident I installed hid bulbs but still the same problem due to the housing giving very little reflection out to the road.
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.
I've had this gem since 2010, bought with 30,000 miles. . . Now has 104,000 miles. It was great until 2014. Where do I start? (1) no heat- broken blender door actuator. . . Manually set it to the warm setting for the winter behind glove box. (2) driver's door handle snapped last year(replaced for $100). . . And now this year the passenger side snapped. (3) doors are constantly "ajar", alternating from one side to the other. (4) ball joint is starting to wear badly, (5) driver's seat won't recline, (6) steering wheel won't move forward/backward anymore, (7) suspension is starting to go. . . Front end lowers to ground after shutting down engine. I'm sure there's more that I can't think of.
