problem #1

Sep 072007

Contour 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles
For several years vehicle made a bang when going over a speed bump just assumed it was bumper on suspension. Today I looked under vehicle found that the gas tank strap has completely rusted away and from the looks of it has been gone for a long time. The bang might have been the tank. Vehicle has been garaged with 61K.
