FORD CONTOUR 1996 car safety problem was reported on Mar 18, 1999.FORD CONTOUR 1996, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER . THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS NOT FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THUS, THE SEATBACK ROCKS SLIGHTLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE DURING CORNERING, AND FROM FRONT TO BACK DURING ACCELERATION AND BRAKING. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON, AND CANNOT BE CURED. SPECIFICALLY, THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT CERTAIN 'RIVETS' OR METAL FLANGES IN THE SEAT TRACK STRETCH OVER TIME AND CAUSE THE LOOSE FEELING OF THE SEAT BACK. REPLACING THE SEAT RAILS DOES NO GOOD, AS THE NEW PARTS ARE OF THE SAME DESIGN, AND EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO FAIL LIKE THE OEM PARTS. THIS MALFUNCTION OF THE SEAT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. HAVING THE SEATBACK DISLODGED DURING NORMAL DRIVING COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHAT'S WORSE WOULD BE A SEATBACK FAILURE DURING AN ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY ALLOWING ME TO BE EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. MY ONLY RECOURSE IN THIS MATTER IS TO PURCHASE AFTERMARKET SEATS OF HIGHER QUALITY. SEATS FROM A MANUFACTURER SUCH AS RECARO OR CORBEAU COME WITH A SUBSTATIAL WARRANTY, AND ARE SURE TO BE MORE DURABLE AND SAFE THAN THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. IN SUM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SAFETY-ORIENTED RECALL OF ALL FORD PRODUCTS THAT HAVE THIS SEATBACK MALFUNCTION. SPECIFICALLY, I WOULD LIKE FORD TO REDESIGN A MORE DURABLE, SAFE SEAT MECHANISM AND RETROFIT ALL EXISTING CARS. AN ADDITIONAL NOTE - I AM A MEMBER OF THE FORD CONTOUR ENTHUSIASTS GROUP, AS WELL AS A FORD CONTOUR MAILING LIST RECIPIENT. OF THE 505 PEOPLE ON THE MAILING LIST, MANY HAVE HAD THE SAME SEATBACK FAILURES. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTACT THE CONTOUR ENTHUSIASTS GROUP AT WWW.CONTOUR.ORG FOR MORE OWNER TESTIMONIALS. THANK YOU, TOM DISALVO. *AK (TDISALVO@STUDENTS.WISC.EDU).0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FALP67LXTK.

AC SWITCH AND BLOWER SPEED NOT WORKING PROPERLY. MECHANIC SAID: "FOUND BURNT BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR, HI BLOWER MOTOR RESISTANCE AFFECTED CIRCUIT. MELTER RESISTOR AND HARNESS." LATER MECHANIC ALSO SAID IT NEED A NEW AC DASH SWITCH AND WIRING HARNESS. A TOTAL COST OF ABOUT $600.00. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A HIGH RESISTANCE CAUSES INCREASED CURRENT AND THUS BURN UP THE RESISTOR AND WIRING. I BELIEVE THAT THE RESISTOR HAD A SHORT AND THE EXCESSIVE CURRENT BURNED UP THE RESISTOR AND THE WIRING. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE BLOWER IS DAMAGED OR NOT. THIS FAULTY RESISTOR IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS FIRE UNDER THE DASH. THEREFORE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPAIR THE DAMAGE. THE MANUFACTURER'S REPRESENTATIVE SAYS THAT THE CAR IS FOUR MONTHS OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND EVEN THOUGH IT HAD ONLY 27,000 + MILES, THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT REPAIR THE DAMAGE.

FORD CONTOUR 1996 car safety problem was reported on Dec 23, 1998.FORD CONTOUR 1996, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH . THE FIRST NOTICABLE SYMPTOM WAS THAT MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS WENT OUT. I THEN LEARNED THAT, ALTHOUGH MY HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, AND EMEMGENCY FLASHERS STILL FUNCTIONED, MY RUNNING LIGHTS WERE ALSO OUT. UPON TAKING THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY HEADLIGHT SWITCH HAD SHORTED AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR WIRING HARNESS. TO ADD FURTHER INSULT TO INJURY, I HAD TO PURCHASE AN ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT I WISHED TO HAVE THE DAMAGE HARNESS REPAIRED OR REPLACED BECAUSE THE NEEDED PARTS COULD NOT BE OBTAINED SEPARATELY. THIS HAS ALL BEEN REPORTED TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY ARE LOOKING INTO THE MATTER. I HAVE ONLY REPORTED MY CASE TO THE NHTSA AFTER FINDING A LISTING IN YOUR ONLINE INVESTIGATIONS DATABASE FOR ACTION NUMBER PE98063 AND THOUGHT THAT MY STORY MAY PERTAIN TO THIS INVESTIGATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION..Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3FALP6536TM. FORD CONTOUR 1996 problem was reported in BALTIMORE, MD. Original Owner. Vehicle was purchased on 19960501.

FORD CONTOUR 1996 car safety problem was reported on July 24, 2000.FORD CONTOUR 1996, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD . WHAT EXACTLY ARE THEY RECALLING ON THE 1996-1998 FORD CONTOUR? IS IT THE WHOLE CAR OR JUST THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM? IS THAT CONSIDERED THE WIRING HARNESS? THE REASON WE'RE SO INTERESTED IS BECAUSE WE'VE HAD MANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH OUR 1996 FORD CONTOUR. WE SENT OUR CAR TO THE FORD OF OCALA,FL FOR THE WIRING HARNESS RECALL, AND THEY GAVE US A VERY HARD TIME ABOUT FIXING IT. THEY WERE TRYING TO GET US TO REPLACE PARTS THAT WEREN'T EVEN BAD, AT THE COST OF $400.00 FOR ONE PART. BUT THEN THEY SAID THERE WAS A WHOLE LIST OF THINGS THAT WERE WRONG WITH IT, AND AFTER THEY FIXED EACH OF THESE PARTS, IF OUR CAR STILL DIDN'T START, THEN THEY'D GET TO FIXING THE WIRING HARNESS. WE HAD 2 MECHANICS CHECK THESE PARTS AND THEY WEREN'T BAD AT ALL. IT TOOK THEM 2 AND A HALF WEEKS BEFORE THEY GAVE US OUR CAR BACK.THEN WHEN WE GOT IT BACK, WE HAD TO TAKE IT TO OUR REGULAR MECHANIC WHO SAID THEY WIRED IT WRONG, AND LEFT THE WIRING TO THE AIR-CONDITIONING AND THE ALTERNATOR UNDONE. THAT WAS 2 MONTHS AGO, AND WE JUST HAD TO REPLACE OUR ALTERNATOR. THE MECHANIC THAT FIXED THE ALTERNATOR SAID THEY DID A LOUSY JOB, BECAUSE HALF THE WIRING WASN'T EVEN DONE RIGHT. THERE IS WIRING IN OUR CAR THAT IS BARE, AND HE SAID IT COULD CAUSE OUR CAR TO CATCH ON FIRE. ALSO, THE WIRING LEADING TO THE ALTERNATOR IS BARE, WHICH HE SAID MOST LIKELY SHORTED OUT THE ALTERNATOR. SO NOW WE NEED TO HAVE THE WIRING REDONE, AND ALL OF THIS HAS COST US HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. THIS CAR IS THE WORST CAR EVER MADE, WE'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT FROM THE DAY WE GOTIT! WE HAD THE AIR FIXED, AND AFTER THEY DID THE RECALL, THE AIR NO LONGER WORKED ANYMORE. ALSO, AFTER THEY WORKED ON THE RECALL, THERE ARE MANY WIRES THAT ARE STILL CRACKED AND BRITTLE, AND LEFT BARE. THE WIRING TO THE BATTERY IS COMPLETELY BARE, ALSO, AND WE'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY 3 TIMES SINCE WE'VE HAD THE CAR. THE SEATBELT LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING WHERE IT IS SO TIGHT I CAN'T MOVE AT ALL.WE'RE AFRAID IT WILL CATCH FIRE! ALSO MORE PROBLEMS!.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FALP66L0TK.

FORD CONTOUR 1996 Safety Review #736263

FORD CONTOUR 1996 car safety problem was reported on Nov 10, 2000.FORD CONTOUR 1996, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . ON THE MORNING OF 11/10/2000, I JUST COMPLETED ENTERING THE SOUTHBOUND DALLAS TOLLWAY FROM LEGACY DR. IN PLANO, TX. UPON REACHING CRUISING SPEED, MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RACE AT FULL THROTTLE. FORTUNATELY, TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. IN ADDITION TO REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES GENTLY TO FIND THERE WAS NO POWER ASSIST. I WAS ABLE TO GET MY FOOT UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO INSURE THAT IT WAS NOT STUCK TO THE FLOOR. WITH BOTH FEET AND GREAT EFFORT I WAS ABLE TO APPLY ENOUGH BRAKING FORCE TO SAFELY MANUEVER THE AUTOMATED TOLL GATE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RACE UNCONTROLLABLY AND I EXITED AT THE WEST PARKER ROAD EXIT IN PLANO. THE ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT I ENCOUNTERED WAS TO SLIP THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL GEAR. AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE WAS SCREAMING, SO I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE ON GREEN AND IT STARTED UP AT FULL THROTTLE. UPON PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO 'DRIVE', THE TIRES LOST TRACTION AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SPEED ALONG IN A "RUNAWAY" FASHION. I HAD TO PASS THROUGH ANOTHER TRAFFIC LIGHT AND INTERSECTION (WITH THE SAME MANUEVER AS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED) BEFORE I REACHED A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT (PARKWOOD CENTER, PLANO, TX). AT THIS POINT I TELEPHONED AAA FOR A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK, I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND EACH TIME THE ENGINE RACED AT FULL THROTTLE. THE DEALER EVALUATED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A FAULTY RESONATER ASSEMBLY FOR THE ENGINE AIR INTAKE (ALLEGEDLY A WORN OUT GASKET, WHICH REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE WHOLE UNIT). I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT FORD ENGINEERS WOULD PERMIT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PRODUCT WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE SUCH A SERIOUS AND LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION.

FORD CONTOUR 1996 Safety Review #739992

FORD CONTOUR 1996 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 2000.FORD CONTOUR 1996, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION . 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 BULLETINS ON THE NHTSA INDICATE THE SAME PROBLEMS (STALLING/DYING OUT) ARE HAPPENING IN OTHER CONTOURS. NOW, THE FORD SERVICE CTR. IS TELLING ME THAT I NEED A DUCT AND RESONATOR ASSEMBY (PART # F-6RZ-9B659-CA) TO CORRECT THE NOISE AND STALLING OUT PROBLEMS THAT I WAS TOLD THE MAF SENSOR WOULD CORRECT. EVIDENTLY, THE ENTIRE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM HAS A REAL PROBLEM IN THIS CONTOUR. PLEASE REVIEW AND DO A RECALL. *AK.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3FALP65L3TM.

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 SO IT WOULD HAVE TO FALL WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING MY CAR FIXED AT A DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIP BUT MY COST IS STILL OVER $1,100.00. PLESAE HELP ME. CESAR GARCIA CALL ME ANY TIME AT 408-674-9315 TO LET ME KNOW YOU HAVE RECEIVED MY LETTER.

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 CONTOUR 1996 car safety problem was reported on Jan 09, 2002.FORD CONTOUR 1996, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS . THE WINDOW REGULATORS ON THE FORD CONTOUR ARE DEFECTIVE. THE MATERIALS USED ARE BEND, CRACK, AND BREAK CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO EITHER FALL INTO THE DOOR, OR TO BECOME STUCK WHEN BEING ROLLED UP OR DOWN. I HAVE REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR REGULATOR 16 MONTHS AGO THINKING THIS WAS A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE BUT NOW FIND THE PASSENGER SIDE ONE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER HAS ADMITTED THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL PARTS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IN MY POSITION AND ON INSPECTION IT IS CLEAR TO SEE THAT THE MANUFACTURING OF THE MATERIAL IS FAULTY, UNDER EXTREME STRESS WHICH COULD LEAD TO THE COLLAPSE OF THE ASSEMBLY. THIS OF COURSE WOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN IF THE WINDOW WOULD COLLAPSE INTO THE DOOR FRAME WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3FALP6531TM.
