I had a 95 Contour and within the first three years, the engine mounts needed to be replaced two times. Then, one month after my warranty expired, the engine mounts needed to be replaced again. I made my plea to Ford headquarters to consider replacing the third set since it is unusual for any car to need engine mounts in the first three years. Ford turned down my request. Consequently, I'm back to buying foreign cars.
Bought a 1998 contour, 6 cylinder for my daughter in 2006. Replaced the starter, battery, front tires and driver's window motor in 3 years. Then this month, Sept 2009, I've had to spend about $1200 on electrical repairs of one kind or another. Plus the drivers windows won't roll down again. The computer also won't hold codes anymore so I can't get it inspected because there is no data stored for them to check. Basically these cars are a gamble and mine is starting to be a big loss.
