FORD CONTOUR 1998 car safety problem was reported on Apr 05, 1999.FORD CONTOUR 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . this is the second cd4e transmission we have had that failed at approximately the same mileage. the first was a 1995 mazda 626, serial# 11yvge22c6s5374843. in both cases the transmission had a complete failure due to an inadequate supply of transimission oil caused by the computer system's failure to maintain an adequate supply of transmission oil to the system. bothe ford and mazda were contacted by phone about the problems and both companies stated that they stand by their waranty and would not provide any assistance with repairs, due to the fact that the car's warranty had expired and we did not purchase any extended warranty. if just seems odd that two cars with the same transmission should, with approximately the same mileage, suddenly require a new transmission. i admit that i put more than the average miles on a car in a given year, however the miles are mainly highway/interstate miles at a cruising speed, generally with the cruise control on, a manner of driving that does not cause the transmission to have to shift as in stop and go traffic..Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FALP66L2TK.

FORD CONTOUR 1998 car safety problem was reported on Sept 02, 2000.FORD CONTOUR 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . recently my 1998 contour svt's anti-lock brakes have on several occasions locked up when applied causing the car to swerve. in some cases the brakes have remained locked and only released after being tapped and pressed several times after the car has been caused to come to a halt in traffic. available avenues of addressing this serious braking problem in the vehicle with ford motor company are exhausted. ford's standard policy requires the dealer's service facility to replicate the problem. the problem in this case is intermittent and dealer cannot replicate it. ford refuses to be involved or to discuss the problem beyond the clerical area that answers at customer relationship center. i purchased the above vehicle new from borgman ford in grandville, michigan in 1998. i currently reside in birmingham, michigan. the vehicle was taken to huntington ford in rochester hills on two occasions. in the first instance i paid to have the rear brake pads replaced and also a fee to have the car inspected for the lockup problem. the problem could not be replicated and no source was identified. after the latest incident huntington provided a "loaner" vehicle for two or three days, but was again unable to replicate or identify the source of the problem. internal ford procedures block efforts to bring the situation to the attention of a higher level of ford management. i have contacted ford through their customer relationship center, 800-392-3673--a higher level of authority is not available by calling this number. my father also called ford's headquarters, 313-322-3000, and asked for ceo jacques nasser. he was connected to mr. colin richard, executive contact manager, again no higher level of management is reachable. richard refused to send a written statement confirming ford's policy and their refusal to respond. my car was returned to me with this serious braking problem unresolved. thank you for your assistance. sincerely, daniel j. osterhart.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP68GXWK.

FORD CONTOUR 1998 car safety problem was reported on Apr 01, 2001.FORD CONTOUR 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT . i own a 1998 ford contour, vin #1fafp6636wk235046. about a month and a half ago, i was preparing to travel onto interstate 79 to go from meadville to erie, pennsylvania. less than a mile from my home on harmonsburg road, i heard a "pop" and my vehicle felt like it had a flat tire. i traveled about another quarter of a mile to a gas station and checked the tire. it appeared to be okay. as the vehicle was becoming hard to steer, i decided to return home. i put on my flashers and traveled at 25 mph back to my home, a straight one mile drive from the gas station. when i turned left into my driveway, i heard a grinding sound and my vehicle would no longer steer. as soon as i was off the road, i turned off the engine. the tire was flat, and the car leaned to the right-front. at a very low speed, the car seriously tipped toward the ground on the right front side. at a faster speed, it could easily have flipped several times. i was very shaken by this incident, and i have been uncomfortable driving this car since this first incident. my husband attempted to change the tire and found that the suspension coil spring had snapped and embedded itself into the tire. we called the aaa to have the car towed to lake view ford in conneaut lake..0 person(s) were injured.

FORD CONTOUR 1998 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2001.FORD CONTOUR 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . since the beginning of july, 2001 this car has experienced the same problem and has been in for dealer service 4 times for that problem. dealer stated the problem was first the camshaft sensor switch (which was replaced twice, i was told), then stated that the actual problem was the cam shaft itself. that was replaced the fourth time the vehicle was taken in for service. i was told the dealer contacted the manufacturer and a manufacturer's rep consulted on the fourth repair, which took 6 weeks to complete. the problem has not been corrected and occurs at various speeds/unpredictable times. it has happened often when turning into an intersection, but also when traveling at 60+ mph on busy freeways. i consider this a serious problem likely to result in injury if not fixed. i don't believe the dealer can fix the problem since they have attempted to four times without success. dealer has only charged for diagnostic test and has paid for rental car during two times when they had the car in for service. regardless, this is a safety issue that i feel ford motor company must address. after checking your database of consumer complaints, i found many entries that described the same type of problem. the contour is no longer being manufactured by ford, which to me indicates that they know this vehicle has serious engineering flaws. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FALP6532WK.

FORD CONTOUR 1998 car safety problem was reported on June 01, 2001.FORD CONTOUR 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with AIR BAGS . i had a active recall 99v24300 concerning air bag failure on my ford in early 2000 and took my automobile to the dealer that i purchased the vehicle to get the diagnostic component and sensor replaced in march 2000. when i took the car to be serviced the original parts were still in working order. i took the car in for service because i recieved the recall and i wanted to avoid future problems. my vehicle i used to transport clients as part of community based crisis team that worked with teens with severe mental health issues so i wanted to address the problem due to safety and potential liability issues. the replacement part worked for the first 15 months and then failed and i took it to several dealers in my home town to diagnose the problem. was told that it was a 500.00 dollar plus repair. i was also told that the original part had been replaced back in march 2000 and now the replacement had failed. when i first took it in to the dealer in did not realize that the part that was replaced was the same parts of the recall in early 2000. it is my believe that ford is responsible for this repair because the orginal part was in working order which would have been covered under the orginal warranty. obviously their our still some problems with this particular system. i also believe that it is a major safety issue and failure which ford needs to address immediately. if these issues are not addressed in a timely manner i will pursue possible legal options with ford. *ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FALP653XWK.

FORD CONTOUR 1998 car safety problem was reported on July 28, 2002.FORD CONTOUR 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . the heater went out in our car, so we decided to fix it at home. after taking out the bad part, we discovered it was melted. i decided to check the web to see if yet another recall had been issued. indeed it had. we don't remember being notified. i called the dealership to schedule a repair. they fixed it. one month later, our heater blower motor went out. we believe this is in direct correlation to the heater blower resistor that was melted. we ended up paying out of pocket to get a new heater blower motor, but not after trying to contact ford customer services. when we contacted them, we could not talk to a manager ( they would have to call us back when it was convenient for them). they called back three times. all three times we were out, when we called them back we were told that we would have to wait to be called back at fords convenience. after the third time they called and we weren't home, they said they couldn't be bothered with our complaint anymore. while we were at the dealership to pick up our car, we insisted someone from ford talk to us. they lied and said our complaint had nothing to do with the recall and they know this because they talked to the service manager. we know they lied because he was out all day, and we asked him if he talked to ford and he said no. the service manager did finally say that the part that was melted did contribute greatly to the demise of the heater blower motor, but that ford would not pay for it. he said other people had this same problem. i am not sure of the exact dates.*jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAFP66L0WK.

FORD CONTOUR 1998 car safety problem was reported on June 06, 2004.FORD CONTOUR 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . i noticed i had a flat tire. i took it off went to have it repaired,they told me it could not be repaired because the side wall had been puntured.i then had to replace the tire only to find out the new tire would not work, there was a loud clanking sound when you tried to move the car. i then put the spare (pony) on and tried to move the car the tire got hot and smoked.so we tried to take it back to the company we bought the tire from,in the process we had a blow out and had to have the car towed in. only to find out that the spring had broken ,punctured the tire on th inside sidewall and wrapped around the strutt and bent it..because of your defective springs.. we are forced to buy not only a new tire but a set of springs and new strutts. it is my understanding that ford products are known for this. that it happens on a daily basis. this is going to cost me five hundred and twenty five dollars at the very least.....why has the're been no recall on these springs????? this could have been a very disastrous situation had it happen as we were going down the interstate. i feel that some type of compensation is in order....my car is a ford contour a 1998 with only roughly 50,000 miles on it. the service work is being done by sears auto center because that is where we purchased the new tire. your prompt response and solution to this problem would encourage my continued faith in ford products, which has been somewhat shaken. respectfully your, rachel g miller. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 50600 miles.

Ford Contour 1998 Equipment Review #10086196

FORD CONTOUR 1998 car safety problem was reported on July 02, 2004.FORD CONTOUR 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with EQUIPMENT . there were no traumatic events such as crashes or injuries. my complaint is about an equipment failure due to a defect of which ford was aware. *ak the front coil springs of my 1998 ford contour broke early in july 2004. the car had 164000 miles on it. although they did not issue a recall, ford did issue an extended warranty on the front coil springs for 10 years, 150,000 miles. (this is documented in nhtsa campaign id number : 01i013000) this was issued on august 3, 2001. that is also the date for a recall for the installation of spring catcher brackets in case the springs broke. (nhtsa campaign id number : 01v255000) i had my vehicle in for the recall on 3/29/2002. i called the toll-free number provided by ford about this problem (1-866-436-7332) and also heard on a recorded message at that number that another make of ford car (taurus) is currently under a repair program for the same problem: corosion of the front coil springs. this recall program is for 1999-2001 taurs and sables started, according to the recording, in the first week of august 2004. this taurus-sable program offers free replacement of the coil spring for taurus and sable models for 10 years/150,000 miles or until july 31, 2005 if the vehicle is over the mileage requirement in the extended warranty. also during the recording at the toll free phone number, there is notification of a safety spring shield recall that will go into effect december 2004. i believe it is basically the same safety recall program offered for the same problem on my ford contour in 2001. it is my contention that the reason the taurus/sable was given a free repair offer until july 31 2005 regardless of mileage is because the taurus is one of ford's banner models. i believe that the offer of free repairs until july 31, 2005 was not made for the contour because the contour is a model that was discontinued some time ago. there are relatively few contours compared to the ford taurus and sable, which ford still sells. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 164000 miles.

FORD CONTOUR 1998 car safety problem was reported on July 19, 2004.FORD CONTOUR 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS . i own a 1998 ford contour covered by recalls 01s23-01m08 pertaining to front spring fracture and extending warranty to cover 10 years or 150,000 miles. the vehicle falls under the time and mileage requirements. i took the car to fred martin ford for noise in front end and they told me the problem was a broken spring. they failed to tell me that the parts were covered under the ford recall and instead told me the repair would cost me over $500.00. after waiting a week and being told there were no springs available for my model anywhere in the country, i started to investigate on my own and found out about the recall and also that there are over 460 vehicles waiting for these parts in the united states. i was told that it could be over a month before the springs are available. apparently, there is a dispute between ford and its spring supplier. ford customer assistance was no help and i am still waiting for the ford zone manager to get back to me. the dealership would not supply a loaner or rental vehicle while i am waiting for the parts. i have since pulled the vehicle out of fred martin ford, 4701 mahoning ave. youngstown, ohio 44515, and taken it to another dealer. i feel that ford is not living up to the terms of recall 01s23-01m08 and not repairing my vehicle promptly and free of charge. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 46000 miles.

Ford Contour 1998 Power Train Automatic Transmission Review #10143733

FORD CONTOUR 1998 car safety problem was reported on Nov 25, 2005.FORD CONTOUR 1998, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . transmission began to downshift (3->2) hard recently, and i brought it to an automatic transmission specialist who performed several tests and gave it a clean bill of health. ~5,000 mi later while gently slowing to turn left from a major street, it felt as though i had run over some walnut shells. as i began to ease open the throttle to complete the turn, the engine bogged and the car lurched, making some crunching sounds. i coasted to a stop on the side of the road, but the car would not move under its own power or by pushing by hand. local transmission shops have said the cd4e transmission is notorious for early failure, and that i was lucky to get 102,000 miles from it because many fail by 40,000 miles. they have quoted me repair prices ranging from $1500 to $3500. i am very grateful this failure did not happen while either on the freeway or on a curvy road, as an axle lockup like this would be very dangerous. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 102000 miles.
