problem #2

Contour

  • miles
This vehicle was purchase new and had only 47,000 mile when the intake manifold gasket failed. These components are not moving parts and should last the life of the engine unless installed incorrectly or poorly designed.

problem #1

Jan 011998

Contour

  • miles
Twice the transmission failed on the freeway and had to be completely replaced even though the car was 1 and 3 months old. The dealer was extremely rude and I promise I will never purchase another Ford again and neither will anybody that has heard my story.
