1999 Ford Contour Sport review from North America
"Comfortable, but has some defects"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The top of the dash has warped severely and the face of the dash has all, but fallen off.
After parking the vehicle one evening, the dome lights and door buzzer would not go off. The door buzzer tends to come on while you are driving.
The fuel pump, which is located in the fuel tank, had gone out and when the mechanic was replacing it, discovered all the insulation on the wiring to the pump was burned off.
General comments?
I enjoy the ride and handling of this car.
However, now I am afraid to drive it.
I seem to get no assistance from the dealer.
