2002 Mercury Sable lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My left headlamp housing has water on the inside of the protective housing around the headlamp and parking lamp. The moisture is increased to the point where nighttime lighting has been adversely diminished. There are no cracks, stone chips, or other visible evidence of damage to the exterior of the protective cover to the light housing. The moisture was first noticeable in may 2005. The vehicle has 30,000 miles and I have owned it since new. I can supply photographs of the defective housing if needed. The diminished nighttime visibility from the headlight is compromising operational safety. The vehicle VIN number is: [xxx]. *nm updated 07/19/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
While driving 70 MPH in cruise control the vehicle stalled without warning. The dealership was notified and installed a new brake light switch. *nm
While driving at any speed intermittently headlights malfunctioned without any notice. Also, on several occasions, when the dimmer switch was used the headlights failed.
