Ford Contour 2000 Air Bags Side/windowFord Contour 2000 Air Bags Side/window Review #10082675 FORD CONTOUR 2000 car safety problem was reported on July 26, 2004.FORD CONTOUR 2000, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW . the vinyl covering on the dashboard is peeling away from the underlying structure. it has, over a period of about 5 months, peeled back far enough that it obstructs the view out of the windshield. the windshield defrost vent trim no longer fits into place. the defroster no longer works properly, as the vinyl now obstructs the air flow. the vinyl is also in such a position as to potentially impede the functon of the passenger-side airbag. ford has issued a couple of 'campaigns', as they call it, but both have expired. my dash was not warped during the period of the campaign, and so was not replaced at that time. since the extended warranty does not cover the dash, ford will not cover the full cost of the replacement (~$1200). the dash on a 3.5 year car should not warp so badly it looks like a pringles chip. this is a design flaw with potential safety concerns, and should be subject to a recall.*ak.Mileage was 38000 miles.

Ford Contour 2000 Visibility Defroster/defogger SystemFord Contour 2000 Visibility Defroster/defogger System Review #10121413 FORD CONTOUR 2000 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2002.FORD CONTOUR 2000, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM . the dashboard panel on my 2000 ford contour is warped and blocking the front windshield defroster vents. this in turn causes poor visibility, especially during rainy or snow. i notice this problem in september 2002 shortly after i bought the car used, from the on-base aafes exchange car dealership at the us army base in mainz-kastel, germany. apparently, what the car dealer had done before i bought the car was to push the front windshield defroster vents down into the molded dashboard panel, so that molded dashboard panel did not look warped. after a couple weeks, i notice that front windshield defroster vents were separating from the molded dashboard panel, so i push the front windshield defroster vents down into the molded dashboard panel, and it stayed down for a week and then the vent would pop-up. i have since given up pushing, the front windshield defroster vents down into the molded dashboard panel. in may 2005, i took the vehicle in to the ford dealership in mainz, germany that handles us spec ford's, to see what could be done to repair the problem. the dealership told me that the dashboard was defective and that there was as customer notification program for this, but it has since expired. on may 19, 2005, i contact the ford by phone (1-800-392-3673) and was informed that under the customer notification # 01b78, ford repaired instrument panel warp age. this notification was issued on june 10, 2002 and expired on august 31, 2002 for the 2000 ford contour car that i owned. since the notification had since expired, i was not eligible to have this problem repaired and paid for by ford. by ford issuing customer notification # 01b78, they have acknowledged, that this problem is a known defect and should repair it at no cost to the vehicle owner, regardless of when the customer notification period expired. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 21000 miles.

Ford Contour 2000 Reports
my 95 ford exploere engine surges when turn my air conditioner on Ihave a 1994 ford probe which has started to idle very low and stalls at times. It is a 4 cyl. w/ air and a 5 speed. any ideas? I replaced the fuel filter, air flow meter and added HEAT to gas tank to dry and clean fuel system. I think my pcv valv should a standard transmission truck start when it is in gear without the clucth engaged? should a 2005 standard transmission ford ranger start when in gear without the clutch engaged? 96 Ford F250 Emergency brake lever gets caught on the auto adjustment spring, causing brakes to be permanently engaged, also allowing the parking break lever to rub against the hub, which can cut through over time. try pushing the pedals button closer to you. you must have the pedal adjustment button to the left of the radio, looks like a foot, that brings the pedals more inward towards the driver. hope it helped. or look carefully if a wire has corroded. it i would check ur multi switch on ur stearing colum on the pedal whats the sound Just bought an '06 E-350 van. Left d'ship got on highway and noticed shimmy when I got to 60....same problem???? that happened to me last night! If you rock the car back and for while shifting then it should release the safety lock! why does it take turning off the veh. while pulling in on the shifter arm, them starting it again while still holding it inwards ever so slightly??
