Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This was a continuous complaining that the intrument panel illumination during the daylightwas not bright enough. this got worse when a highway such as in arizona or californiawas designated a safety section and reqiuired that the headlights must be on. then the panel was impossible to see. thiswas dangerous as it took attention away from the road many times. the dealer stated that was the way itwas built, but cannot lincoln come up with a retrofit fix? their engineers should take a ride in a late model honda accord to see what the panel should look like in the daylight.*ak
