EXTERIOR LIGHTING

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.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

ford needs to investigate the durability of the front windshield on the 2014 model taurus. i own two 2014 taurus and within the first 6months of ownership, i have had to replace the windshields on both vehicles. both vehs were hit in the same spot opposite sides with a rock and a cracked formed from one side to other within 4hrs of the incident. each time we were traveling no more that 40/45 mph due to moderate traffic. both windshields costing me $600 out of pocket. i have owned other model ford vehicles(07 ford 500 and 1998 explorer) that have withstood plenty of rocks at the windshield and not one chip or crack
