Mystique 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 42,000 miles
Both headlight lens assemblies have become cloudy/hazy, so the light emitted is greatly reduced, creating an unsafe driving condition. Replacement cost is $400 plus labor. I feel Ford should cover this, as the assemblies are obviously defective, and this is a safety issue.
