Contour 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles
The dash board on my 1999 Contour has curled back and the vent mechanism has come out. Now, the defroster is obstructed and does not defrost my windshield properly. My windshield has now cracked. The dealer said this was the subject of a recall, but the recall is now "expired".other problems with the car: The radio speakers have failed. The driver's side were replace under my warranty, but now that I am out of the warranty, the passenger side speakers are shot; the dome light does not turn on when I open the driver's door but it does when the other doors are opened; my blower motor stopped working and I had to have it replaced, and it now smells like it is burning when I use it.

Vehicle was parked, and one of the doors was opened while talking for approximately 15 minutes. Courtesy light fell down due to fixture overheating and burning off the fastener. Dealer notified, and informed consumer to bring vehicle in. Please feel free to provide further details.
