2000 Ford Contour SE review from North America
"Looks good, runs good, but not happy with the dash board"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My dash board is warped. I called Ford to see if there was a recall. I got nowhere. They said they did have many complaints about it.
The Ford dealer said it would cost me $1,000 to replace the dash. This is crazy, why would this not be a recall if they have had many complaints? Who ever heard of a dash being warped so bad that it is lifted from the window.
Can anyone help me. My email is mingybella@aol.com
Thank you.
General comments?
It handles great on the road.
Dash board has warped.
The wiper stem has pulled away from the knob.
