1999 FORD CONTOUR Complaints

DASHBOARD ON 1999 FORD CONTOUR HAS BUCKLED AND THERE WAS A CUSTOMER SATISIFACTION RECALL FOR THE WORK AND WAS NEVER TOLD THERE WAS AN EXPIRATION AND I WANT TO HAVE IT FIXED AND FORD WILL NOT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE VIEW IS BLOCKED.*AK

SINCE I TOOK THE OWNERSHIP OF MY 99 FORD CONTOUR SVT, IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. I WANT TO KEEP THIS SHORT, SO I WILL BREIFLY TELL YOU OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED. IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED. FOG LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT, TWICE. CV AXIS BOOT HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO FLAWED MANUFACTURING. ABS SYSTEM FAILURE, REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WENT OUT. ITS ON ITS 3RD FUEL PUMP. VERY TOUGH STARTS WHEN ITS COLD, STOCK ALARM MALUFUCTION, RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT, LEFT FRONT SPEAKER WENT OUT, DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE MALUFUCTION, THE DASH CAME UP FROM THE WINDSHIELD BACK ABOUT 6". HONESTLY THERE IS MORE, I AM TRYING TO PULL ALL THIS FROM MEMORY. TO CONCLUDE I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I WILL NEVER OWN A FORD AGAIN. EVER.

LOW COOLANT LIGHT HAS CAME ON , COOLANT OK SECERAL MONTHS AGO. NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON. HOW CAN I GET THE FUSE BOX CHECKED WITHOUT COSTING ALOT. ONLY HAVE 64645 MILES ON CAR. CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS PROBLEMS ALREADY.

MY 1999 FORD CONTOUR CLEAR PAINT IS BUBBLE UP. I HAVE A RED CAR. I WANT TO KNOW IF IT'S BEEN IN A WREACK COULD THAT BE THE REASON OR IT'S JUST BAD PAINT. I BOUGHT MY CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2000.

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND DASHBOARD WARPED ON A 1999 FORD CONTOUR.*MR THE DEALER WAS SUPPOSE TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AGAIN BUT THEY REFUSED TO AND THE CONSUMER NEEDS REPAIRS BECAUSE IT'S DEFECTIVE. *CB *JB

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN REAR ENDED. MY CAR WAS PUSHED INTO INTERSECTION. DAMAGE TO CAR WAS BUMPER, HAD TO REPLACE MUD GUARDS AND ATTACHING HARDWARE. CONTACTED FORD ABOUT MY CONCERN THEY SAID THAT THE FORCE PROBABLY WASN'T GREAT ENOUGH. EVERYONE I SPOKE WITH ASKED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND WERE SUPRISED WHEN THEY DIDN'T DEPLOY AS THE FORCE WAS GREATER THAN 20 MILES AN HOUR. *AK

THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED ABOUT A DASHBOARD PROBLEM WHICH AFFECTED THE USE OF THE DEFROSTER. THERE WAS NO AIR MOVEMENT.*AK

PRODUCT DEFECT, LOSS OF REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS DUE TO WATER LEAK FROM LENSES WHICH CAUSED A SHORT CIRCUIT.*MR (NAR) *CB *JB

IN SUMMER, 2003, THE DASHBOARD WARPED WHICH CAUSED THE DEFROSTER GRILL TO SEPARATE AND RESULTED IN POOR VISIBILITY AT THE LOWER PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD. *NLM

THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS WARPED. THIS ALLOWED BIG PIECES OF PLASTIC TO FLY THROUGH. SOME OF THE PLASTIC PIECES WERE SHARP AND CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE OCCUPANTS. THE DASHBOARD WARPING IS DUE TO THE SUNRAYS AND HEATER BLOWER. *NLM
