Many recalls. Minor, but required loss of the car one day per recall.
Tires wore out after 7,000 miles. No dealer help. Firestone no help.
Condensate in headlamp assembly. Warranty replacement after two trips.
Flimsy cupholder broke. $95 for replacement.
Repeated false coolant light - Made repairs, but with no resolution.
Transmission speed sensor failed at 52,000 miles. At dealer for two days without it being looked at yet (yes, I'm angry).
My wife's car.
Dealer service is slow, not good, and with poor communications.
I really like the way the car handles. Too bad Ford service is so poor.
I'll never buy another one.
I have so much problem with the Ford Contour. I own a 1998 Ford Contour and a lot of things went wrong with it. First it was a noise coming from the left front tire assembly, which I had fixed and cost me a bundle. Then the engine light came on and had that fixed and a week or two later it came back on. Next there was a noise coming from the engine bay area when I turn on the air-conditioner, which I had it fixed. Then the water pump and the radiator sensor went out on me. After that the I had to replace the two front rotors because they were too thin and worn. Now my transmission just went out on me and my speed sensor don't work. I want to let everyone know of all the problems I've had with this car within a 1 to 2 year span. I don't think I'll ever buy anything Ford anymore. I should have stuck to Japanese cars which last a lot longer then them Fords.
Phou.
