The headlights are very limited during night driving. there is a very defined line between projected light and surrounding darkness. when traveling up or down even the slightest slope, the lights point down into the road directly ahead, giving no view or reaction time of possible obstacles, people, animals or stalled/parked cars. there is no peripheral lighting towards the front quarter so when a turn onto an intersecting roadway or driveway is necessary, it is completely dark and any objects, people or animals cannot be seen. this is the most dangerous night-driving i have ever done in any auto/truck. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford taurus. the contact stated that the headlights failed to illuminate properly in the dark and in the rain without warning. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (mcgrath ford, 4001 1st ave se, cedar rapids, ia, 52402), but they were unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 13344376. the manufacturer stated that there was no recall, and recommended the contact to take the vehicle to another dealer for a second opinion. the failure mileage was unknown. *ln vehicle purchase date should be on or before incident date updated 8/2/18*jb
Night driving is unsafe due to the nonexistence of peripheral lighting. when stopped at a stop sign attempting a turn it is completely dark, and only lit when the car has completed the turn. we cannot drive the car after dark due to this extremely dangerous condition. *tr
It would seem someone would look into the plastic head lights on all models of cars. after a few years the head light covers get covered with something that seems to dim the head lights by 50%. this is an ongoing problem that may be causing night time accidents. *tr
