The plastic headlight lenses on the headlights of my 1995 ford escort lx have become cloudy, yellowed and opaque. This cuts down noticeably on the ability of the headlights to illuminate the road at night, truly a safety hazard.

Since we bought this used program vehicle, we have had to replace the tires at least 4-5 times, the back top brake light numerous times (fuse) the brakes at least twice and when my son was hit during the winter the airbags did not deploy and he had back injuries his passenger had chest pains from the seat belts, we did replace the timing belt this year and than in july the engine stopped working and the mechanic (pride auto) stated that the engine was damaged this occured while driving appx. 25 hrs per mile. The dealership refused to help us stating that we got 99,000 miles out of it. We are voluntarily returning the vehicle, they are giving us a hard time about it.

The headlight lenses are yellowed and discollered. The amount of light from the headlights has been reduced by more than 50%. The vehicle is less than four years old, this should not happen on any vehicle. I contacted the dealer, ford motor and the ford motor customer service center. They said it was my problem to fix.

Electrical harness at rear lift gate failed, wires cracked and arcing together. Rear brake light would stay illuminated when parked or moving without brake pedal interaction. Possible safety hazard as rear brake lights would go out when brakes actually applied.
