Contour

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
When driving at 70 mph the vehicle is shifting very hard. It downshifts from overdrive to second gear, and all the components on the dashboard start going out. Vehicle has been into repair shop six times and the dealer can't determine the cause of the problem. Also, when applying the brakes, the child in the child seat goes forward, and the harness strap left a red spot on the child.
