Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Ford and lincoln are insisting that we pay $675.,plus labor, to replace a headlight that went out. the 97 and 98 models of the car were recalled for the same thing and they were replaced and no cost the the comsumer. this is exactly the same lighting system and bulb, yet if we were to purchase it outright it would cost $75. the technicians say that the electrical connections will not mate. headlights are an essential and necessay component of an auto and if the cost is so high to replace it, than it should not go out. ford and lincoln are price scalping and shifting the cost of the recall on the 97 and 98 on to the owners of the 96's. please check this out for us, something is wrong with this picture. thank you, zak and marsha kachaturoff
