problem #2

Feb 012010

Contour ES 4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 115,000 miles

My car has quit working/died on a two lane only bridge; a busy highway; my driveway and a shopping parking lot, among others. The resulting fix after many tows involved fuses being changed, but I cannot rely on a car that blows a fuse if you use the heater and radio at the same time, or wind down the window while driving. Totally frustrating. My car was fine for 5-6 years, until they finally got the check engine light to stay off. It hasn't been the same since. And I have really awesome mechanics.
