1996 Ford Contour complaints

WOULD BE DRIVING WHEN ALL LIGHTS IN VEHICLE WOULD GO OUT, AND THEN VEHICLE WOULD STALL. ALTERNATOR FAILED TO CHARGE BATTERY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, HAD BATTERY REPLACED FOR 4TH TIME IN 3 YEARS.*AK

IN OCTOBER 1999 I HAD MY HEATER FAN FIXED BECAUSE OF A RECALL. WITHIN 12 MONTHS IT BROKE AGAIN AND THE COMPANY FIXED AGAIN ON 8/30/00. IN DECEMBER IT BROKE AGAIN WHICH IS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. I CALLED BRUNSWICK FORD AND THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED BECAUSE FORD MOTOR WOULDN'T COVER ONLY ONCE TO FIX THE ITEM. I CALLED FORD MOTOR AND COMPLAINED BECAUSE IT KEEPS BREAKING AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS FIXED AND DIDN'T CARE THAT IT HAD BROKEN 2 TIMES AND LESS TIME BETWEEN EACH. THEY SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OLDER AND SO MANY MILES THAT THAT PROBABLY WAS WHY IT KEPT BREAKING. I WAS VERY FRUSTRATED AND FELT THERE WAS NO WHERE TO TURN. ONCE THE RECALL IS FIXED IS THERE A TIME LIMIT OR MILEAGE LIMIT THAT SHOULD PERTAIN?

THIS ENGINE SITUATION WAS INTRACTABLE BECAUSE THE FORD BULLETIN ADVISES THAT HEAD GASKET REMOVAL WARRANTS REPLACEMENT, THEREFORE EVEN FORD TECHNICIANS HAVE TO ?!@#$% FOOT AROUND TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM IS ELSEWHERE RATHER THAN GOING RIGHT TO THE SOURCE. I BORROWED $10,000 TO FINISH SCHOOL THIS YEAR AND MUCH OF THAT MONEY WAS SPENT ON THIS CAR. IT DESTROYED MY ACADEMIC YEAR AND I BARELY GRADUATED THANKS TO THIS MAJOR HEADACHE. THE WAS ONLY AT 49,000 MILES WHEN IT FINALLY WENT CAPUT. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS DISASSEMBLED IT WAS TOTALLY WARPED AND BLOWN. I BOUGHT A FORD REBUILT ENGINE BECAUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD THE EXTRA $700 FOR A JASPER REBUILT ENGINE... SEE THEY REBUILD THE SAME ENGINE AND MAKE A 7 YEAR 100,000 WARRANTY ON THE REBUILT ENGINE BECAUSE THEY USE A GRAPHITE HEAD GASKET AND MAKE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT FORD DOESN'T MAKE. FORD NOT ONLY SELLS THEIR WEAKER REBUILT ENGINES BUT ONLY PUT A 1 YEAR 12,000 MILE WARRANTY ON IT. WELL, I'M BROKE AND IT'S TOTALLY FORD'S FAULT.*AK

WHEN THE WATER PUMP FAILED TH HEAD GASKET ALSO FAILED . AND POSSIBLY A CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD.*AK

I GOT THIS CAR IN APRIL 96. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY LOSES POWER WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL. IT LOCKS UP THE STEERING AND BRAKES. IT HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS AND IN VARYING TEMPERATURES. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE MOST RECENT EPISODE WAS JAN 14, 2001. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TOW THE CAR, OTHER TIMES IT WILL START BACK UP. THIS LAST TIME IT STARTED BACK UP AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES. FORTUNATELY, OTHER DRIVERS HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION, AND I HAVEN'T BEEN KILLED. THIS CAR HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALWAYS ON...DEALER CANNOT FIND PROBLEM, BUT CHARGES $110 TO DIAGNOSE IT EACH TIME!....THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CABLE BROKE IN 2000. AGAIN, FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND NO CARS NAILED ME. THE PAINT ON THIS CAR IS BEGINNING TO PEEL/CRACK EVEN THOUGH IT IS GARAGE KEPT. I HAVE HAD TO PUT 3 SETS OF BRAKES ON THIS CAR...HAVE ALSO HAD THE DASH AND TAIL LIGHTS GO OUT (WHICH THEY DID FIX) ALSO THE AC KNOB BROKE (WHICH THEY FIXED) I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR ALL KNOWN RECALLS. FORD HAS NEVER RESPONDED TO MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE COMPLETE POWER LOSS I KEEP EXPERIENCING AND THE DEALER JUST SUGGESTS TOTALLY USELESS REPAIRS THAT COST ALOT AND DO NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

MY FORD CONTOUR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT AND DYING ON ME WHILE MOVING ALONG IN TRAFFIC, AT STOP SIGNS, AND WHILE STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. THE LOUD FOG HORN SOUND USUALLY BEGINS WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN TO STOP OR WHILE I AM STOPPED, BUT IT HAS BEGUN EVEN WHEN I AM AT FULL DRIVE SPEED OF APPROX. 35 MILES PER HOUR. THE STALLING OUT AND DYING SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE ARE VERY COLD. THE CAR ALSO TENDS TO REV ITSELF (UP TO 1500 RPMS) WHEN I'M STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, ETC. AFTER I HAD THE MAF SENSOR REPLACED THE FIRST TIME, BACK IN JAN. 2000, THE CAR CONTINUED TO REV ITSELF AND TRIED TO STALL OUT. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE AUTO SERVICE CTR. AND WAS TOLD THEY NEEDED TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER AND THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEMS. WHILE THE CAR DID NOT REV ITSELF AT STOP OR IDLE, AS MUCH AS BEFORE, IT DID STILL CONTINUE TO REV AT A FULL STOP. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN ROARING LIKE A FOG HORN AND COMPLETLY STALLED OUT AND DIED ON ME WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT STOP SIGNS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, IN PARKING GARAGES IN LONG LINES OF TRAFFIC, AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS. I RECENTLY TOOK THE VEH. BACK TO THE SERVICE CTR. AND WAS TOLD IT WAS AGAIN THE MAF SENSOR AND THAT A REPLACEMENT WOULD INDEED FIX THE PROBLEMS. THE CAR IS STILL ROARING AND STALLING/DYING ON ME WHEN I'M OUT IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I CERTAINLY CONSIDER IT A SAFETY HAZARD. I FINALLY WENT TO THE NHTSA WEBSITE AFTER THE 2ND MAF SENSOR (01/01) DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. SERVICE

WITHOUT WARNING ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON CAUSING VEHICLE TO START TO KNOCK AND MAKE ALOT OF NOISE. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER TO BE CHECKED FOR EXCESSIVE USE OF OIL.*AK

MY 1996 FORD CONTOUR'S (W/V6 2.5L DURATEC MOTOR) ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON AROUND JAN 2 OF 2001. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AT THE CLOSEST FORD DEALERSHIP IN MODESTO, CA. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT WAS ON FRIDAY JAN 05, 2001, LATER ON THAT WEEK. ONCE I TOOK IT IN, THEY HAD DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING MY (3) CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND MY THROTTLE BODY. THE SERVICE ADVISOR THEN TOLD ME THAT HE HAD TO CHECK WITH FORD BECAUSE HE BELIEVED THAT THE WORK WAS COVERED UNDER A FORD RECALL 97E61. THE NEXT DAY HE RESPONDED TO ME AND TOLD ME THAT FORD HAD SAID THAT IT WASN'T COVERED AND THAT MY BILL WOULD BE $1,300.00. I THEN ASKED HIM WHY IT WASN'T COVERED AND HE TOLD ME BECAUSE MY VIN# DOESN'T SHOW IT. HE THEN ASKED ME TO TAKE IT UP WITH FORD THE ACTUALL COMPANY. SO I'VE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON IT MYSELF AND HAVE COME UP WITH A LITTLE BIT OF INFO. FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS TOLD ME THAT THE REASON MY CAR IS NOT COVERED IS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE 97E61 CRITERIA FOR RECALL. SO I ASKED WHAT ACTUALL PART DOES NOT FALL UNDEER THE CRITERIA. THEY ASKED ME TO TAKE IT UP WITH NHTSA AND THEY CAN GIVE ME THAT INFO. WHAT I HAVE FOUND IS THAT CARS THAT WERE BUILT AT 2 FORD PLANTS, CAUTLIN, AND KANSAS CITY PLANTS ARE THE ONES THAT ARE AFFECTED. WELL MY CAR WAS BUILT AT THE KANSAS CITY PLANT. THE OTHER CRITERIA I KNOW ABOUT IS IF THE CAR WAS BUILT WITHIN MARCH OF 95 THRU MARCH OF 96. WELL MY CAR WAS FIRST SOLD IN FEB. 96 AND IT'S A 96 MODEL S
