"A nice deal especially the svt"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Well at first we have a problem with a real bad humming noise when it gets cold. I wish I knew what it is. No one can help me. I've asked the dealerships and none of them know anything. Dealerships and garages suck. The only ones that I can get to help me is the ones who have had this problem before. The humming noise is coming from the air intake. When I took the filter out it got twice as loud. I wish I knew what is was. If you can help me email me at Cobrafanatik22@aol.com thanks.

The doors also squeaked a lot when opened. I just have to keep greasing them up.

General comments?

Other than that this car is great.

I have a Mondeo and I have the same problem with the doors. Keep greasing them. It is a poor design.

Hah, well this is 4 yrs old and I doubt you have the car.

However, that humming noise is a common problem on the platform. It usually occurs on V6 models during the colder seasons. We have fixes for this issue which is quite cost effective i.e. 30 cents and just requires a copper plug and a drill.

Check out contour.org, it's a great site for enthusiasts. A great bunch of guys and gals.
