The first time i took my new vehicle out at night i struggled seeing the road even with the fog lights on. When you look out over the hood there is a black line at hood height and the light appears above the black line. So there is not much light hitting the road. When making a turn the headlights do not follow the road on the turn as they appear off in the distance and not down on the road. You virtually cannot see…

This has happened several times and it can be kind of scary especially…

The headlights on this explorer were designed so that if you are on a dark road you can't see more than 3 feet in front of you and nothing on the sides. It's like driving in the dark. I took it to the dealer and they said it was a design flaw. I think this is very dangerous, and scary, especially since i live in colorado. I left with them not being able to do anything about it. I went on line and it looks like this…

I purchased this vehicle about a month ago. Driving home, 2 1/2 hours away from where i purchased it, the sun was hitting my front windshield. I noticed tremendous amounts of tiny shiny particles all over the windshield. It was very distracting and hazardous!!! I checked the following day and the entire windows have the same thing. I was told by the dealership that it's normal. I have had 3 other ford vehicles in…
