Contour

  • Manual transmission
  • miles
The car is a 1999 Ford Contour. I had my 4 year old daughter buckled in the rear seat. We were driving when she reached over and thought she was pulling for the window. She grabbed for the door handle instead, and to my surprise opened it. The door flew open, ,she was buckled in and not one was hurt..just upset. I check the chikd door locks....and to my surprise the label is backwards. It points in the lock direction, but this is the open direction. I looked at a friends Contour, all the labels are incorrect!!!!!
