Mark VIII 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles
The contact owns a 1997 Lincoln Mark viii. The contact stated that the blinder door was inoperative which will not allow heat to come from the defroster.. the failure has been occurring for four years, but was never repaired because the part is made out of plastic. The contact is hoping that the manufacturer changes the part to metal. Due to the blinder door not working, the defroster fails to work properly. The current and failure mileages were 92,000.

Mark VIII 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 76,000 miles
The contact owns a 1997 Lincoln Mark viii. The contact stated that the blender door is made out of plastic and breaks, which causes the heater and the defroster to fail. As a consequence, her visibility is significantly reduced during cold weather conditions. She took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that she would have to replace the blender door at an expense exceeding $1,000. The vehicle has not been repaired. The manufacturer stated that the company utilizes the same plastic piece. The failure mileage was 76,000 and current mileage was 91,000. Updated 11/12/08 updated 11/13/08.
