TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 FORD CONTOUR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD FAIL TO START DUE TO A MELTED WIRE IN THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ODOMETER FAILED TO PROVIDE THE ACCURATE READING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM A USED CAR DEALER ON 8/11/15. THE CAR HAS 58606 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES CAUSED BY A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS. WIRING HARNESS WAS UNDER THE OWNER NOTIFICATION AND NOT REPAIRED. FORD HAS NOT OFFERED ANY TYPE OF ASSISTANCE AND MECHANIC SAYS THE CAR IS A FIRE HAZARD AND HARNESS HAS TO BE REPLACED. CONTACTED FORD WHO SAID THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER ANY TYPE OF RECALL AND THEY NO LONGER MAKE THE PART.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 FORD CONTOUR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE TAILLIGHT AND FRONT PANEL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.
I PURCHASED A USED 1996 FORD CONTOUR FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND AFTER A FEW DAYS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT. A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT CAME BACK ON. AFTER FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS WAS BAD. THE INSULATION ON THE WIRES WAS FLAKING OFF AND IN ONE SPOT THE WIRE BUNDLE COVERING HAD MELTED. RESEARCH ON LINE SHOWED THAT FORD HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM (99M03) AND EXTENDED THE RECALL FOR 10 YEARS. IN AN ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH A DIFFERENT WIRING HARNESS HAS PROVED TO BE A LOOSING BATTLE I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THAT THEY NO LONGER BUILD THIS PART AND THAT THEY HAD NO PARTS IN STOCK THROUGHOUT THE USA. I TRIED SALVAGE YARDS AND THERE ARE NO GOOD PARTS OUT THERE. HOW CAN A USED CAR LOT SELL CARS WITHOUT LOOKING INTO SAFETY RECALLS ON THE VEHICLES. I HAVE NO RECOURSE BUT TO JUNK THE CAR AND TAKE A $3000 LOSS. IS THERE ANY HELP OUT THERE? *TR

I HAVE A FORD CONTOUR (1996 SPORT W/2.5 V6..NEARLY ALL OF THE WIRING UNDER THE HOOD EITHER HAS BROKEN OR NO INSULATION ON IT. SOME TIMES THE TEMPERATURE LIGHT COMES ON...TODAY THE ELECTRIC COOLING FAN SMOKED THEN BLEW A FUSE. I'VE NEVER SEEN WIRING LIKE THIS. I EXPECT BETTER FROM FORD THAN THIS..THIS CAR JUST TURNED OVER TO 72000 MILES....THIS CAR IS A TOTAL FIRE HAZARD.....I'VE OWNED FORD CARS AND TRUCKS ALL MY LIFE BUT IF NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS CAR IT WILL BE THE LAST FORD I BUY..THIS WIRING SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW. I WONDER IF THE SAFETY TEAM KNOWS ABOUT THIS. *TR

I PAID TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AGAIN TO GET A SECOND OPINION. WHILE DOING THIS I ALSO DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON THE UNDER WIRE HARNESS BUT THAT THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED AFTER 100,000 MILES AFTER SEEING HOW MANY RECALLS WHERE DONE ON MY CAR I REALIZED THAT WHAT GENES EVANS FORD TOLD ME WAS THAT IT WOULD COST ME $2500.00 TO FIX THE UNDER WIRE HARNESS PROBLEM. I OBTAINED A SECOND OPINION WHICH CONFIRMED THE WIRE HARNESS, ISSUE AND FORD BUILT THE CAR., AND GENE EVANS FORD KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE RECALLS! I WANT MY CAR FIXED! ON APRIL 28,2004 WHEN I WAS NOT SURE IF MY CAR HAD A PROBLEM I TOOK IT TO GENE EVANS FORD FOR A DIAGNOSTIC READING, THE ODOMETER READ 95904 AND ON MAY 3,2004 WHEN THE ODOMETER READ 96037, WHICH IS CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS WITH REGARD TO THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AS WELL AS THE UNDER WIRE HARNESS RECALL,99M03, WHICH IS 100,000 MILES OR TEN YEARS. IF THE AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN AT FORD SERVICE COULD NOT ELABORATE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THAT MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS . HOW WAS I TO KNOW? I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY CAR, TRUSTING FORD'S OPINION ON ANY CONCERNS I MAY HAVE HAD. THIS SITUATION HAS COST ME ENDLESS DISTRESS AS WELL AS FINANCIAL SETBACKS, FIXING PROBLEMS THAT NOW I SEE WHERE RELATED TO ONE RECALL OR ANOTHER . I HAVE BUT ONE CAR, PAY MY PREMIUMS ON TIME AND A CLEAN DRIVING RECORD. I FEEL THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE AND I AM MOST DISSATISFIED , WITH THE WAY GENE EVANS FORD HAS HANDLED THIS MATTER. I WANT MY CAR FIXED! OR IF NEED BE REPLACED, WITH FUNCTIONING NON-DEFECTIVE PARTS, SHOULD MY CAR GET FIXED I WANT ALL RECALLS ON MY CAR RESEARCHED AND FIXED SINCE THE UNDERWIRE HARNESS WAS NOT THE ONLY RECALL I FOUND ON MY CAR,AND I WANT IT ALL IN WRITING! THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CAREFUL CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER. MY CAR IS NOW COMPLETELY DEAD. WITH NO ATTEMPT AT GENE EVANS FORD OR DEARBORN MICHIGAN ADDRESSING MY CONCERNS.*JB
I BOUGHT A 1996 FORD CONTOUR FROM AND INDIVIDUAL IN JULY OF THIS YEAR. IT RAN WELL, FOR A FEW DAYS, AND THEN THE OD LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS SHIFTING INTO LOW. I KEPT MASHING THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFT ARM AND THE LIGHT WOULD GO OUT AND THEN COME BACK ON THIS WOULD GO ON FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THEN IT WOULD BE OK FOR SEVERAL DAYS, JUST TO START UP ALL OVER AGAIN. THEN I HAD THE OLD CHANGED IN NOVEMBER AND THE WOULD NOT STAY CRANKED FOR ME TO GET HOME. THE WIRES UNDER THE HOOD ARE ALL FLAKING OF THERE PLASTIC COVERING. I ASSUME THIS IS WHY IT WILL NOT STAYED CRANKED. I CAN NOT DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. *NM
THIS PROBLEM STARTED WAY BACK AT THE DATE BELOW AND I COULD NOT GET FORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM SO I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING BY ELECTRICAL TAPING THE EXPOSING WIRES. I WONDER WHY AMERCIAN MADE VEHICLES ARE LOOSING TO FOREIGN COMPANIES... SELF EXPLANATORY I THINK. NO PRIDE IN THE AMERICAN WORKER. JUST DO THE JOB AND MAKE LIVING. COMPLAINT IS FORD CONTOUR GL ENGINE WIRING HARNESSES SEVERELY DETERIORATING. I WORK WITH ELECTRICAL WIRING ON AIRCRAFT DAILY AND HAVE NEVER SEEN WIRING LIKE THIS. I'VE WORKED IN AREAS WHERE AIRCRAFT WIRING GO THROUGH SEVERE TEMPERATURE CHANGES, HIGH HUMIDITY, AND SEA SPRAY TO NAME A FEW. NO AIRCRAFT THAT I'VE WORKED ON HAS HAD WIRING LIKE THIS. TRANSPORTATION SUCH AS AIRCRAFT DON'T OR SHOULD SAY CANNOT HAVE WIRING LIKE THIS WHY CAN CARS? OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR CAR OWNERS AROUND THE COUNTRY, CAR FAILS FROM WIRING IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE OWNER AND POSSIBLE OTHER INNOCENT DRIVERS AROUND THEM? THIS INCIDENT I BELIEVE REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ACTION. AS I STATED I AM CURRENTLY USING ELECTRICAL TAPE TO ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE WIRES FROM TOUCHING AND CAUSING A FIRE OR DAMAGE TO OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS. CURRENTLY CHASING AIR CONDITIONING, ENGINE FAN, AND FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEMS WITH THIS WIRING. A VEHICLES WIRING SHOULD NEVER BECOME THIS BRITTLE. THIS GOES TO PROVE WHY FORD IS CLOSING PLANTS AND NISSAN AND TOYOTA ARE ON TOP OF THE AUTOMOTIVE SALES. THINK ABOUT IT FORD, TRYING TO GET BY WITH CHEAP STUFF AND SEE WHERE YOU ARE NOW, VERGE OF BANKRUPTCY. *JB
DT: 1996 FORD CONTOUR. THE CONTACT STATES THE WIRING HARNESS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED, AND THIS WAS HOW THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. RECALL 01V230000 WAS ISSUED, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THE CONTACT STATED IT WILL COST $1700 TO FIX IT. THIS PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AGO. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FIRE YET, BUT THIS COULD BE THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE RECALL.*AK UPDATED 11/16/2005. *NM
CONSUMER HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE 1996 FORD CONTOUR.*MR THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY RECALLS ON CONSUMER'S VEHICLE THAT SHE WASN'T AWARE OF BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER NEVER SENT NOTICES. SINCE THEN CONSUMER HAS BEEN PAYING FOR ENTIRE FULL PRICE AND IS ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT. HOWEVER, THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE IS THE GAS FUMES WHICH IS LEAKING THEREFORE LEAVING POISONOUS CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES COMING IN THROUGH THE HEATER VENTS. THESE HARSH CHEMICALS ARE DAMAGING TO THE LUNGS, BRAIN, RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AND ITS MAKING CONSUMER VERY TIRED AMONG OTHER SYMPTOMS. *TT
THE PROBLEM STARTED ON THE INCIDENT DATE, WIRE PROBLEM CAUSE THE ENTIRE FAN/AC/HEATER PANEL SO NO LONGER WORK, THE WIRE GOT SO HOT HOT IT MELTED OUR UNDER-DASH FUSE BOX, WE WENT FOR 9 MONTHS AND A BABY WITH NO A/C IN HOT AND NO HEAT IN THE COLD, HUSBAND(JOSH MURPHY) WENT TO JUNK YARD AFTER BEING TURNED AWAY BY DEALERSHIP AND GOT REPLACEMENT PARTS OFF AN IDENTICAL CAR. THAT WAS IN JUNE OF 2005. ON THAT DATE WE SAW THAT ALL OF THE WIRES UNDER THE HOOD WERE SEVERELY CRACKED AND DAMAGED AFTER ELTRCIAL TAPING A FEW OF THE EXPOSED WIRED THERE BECAME A SHORT THAT NOW CUASES A COMPUTER PROBLEM AND A LOSS OF POWER THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ANF PULL INTO TRAFFIC, OR JUST ANYTIME IT WANTS TO. THE OVER-DRIVE LIGHT COMES ON AND TRANSMISSION STARTS TO GET REALLY JERKY AND THE ODOMETER AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE PANAL STARTS TO MALFUNCTION, MOST OF THE TIME WE DONT EVEN KNOW HOW FAST WE ARE GOING OR HOW MANY MILES WE HAVE GONE. WE HAVE A 18 MONTH OLD AND A NEW BABY DUE IN JUST WEEKS AND I AM SCARED THAT ONE TIME WHEN I GO TO PULL OUT THE CAR JUST ISNT GOING TO GO AT ALL AND WE MIGHT GET HIT BY SOMEONE, O AND SOMETIMES IT JUST TURNS ITSELF OFF IN TRAFFIC TOO. THE DEAALERSHIP TELL ME THAT ALL OF THOSE WIRES WERE REPLACED IN 2000 BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE IT LONGER THAT 4 YEARS WITHOUT DEGENERATING AGAIN. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ALSO TELLS ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO JUST PAY FOR THE WORK AND BEING A NEW FAMILY WE CANNOT AFFORD SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS A RECALL ITEM AT ONE TIME. PLEASE THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS, I KNOW WE ARE NOT THE ONLY 96 FORD CONTOUR OWNERS WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM EITHER.
