Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1999 FORD CONTOUR I BOUGHT IT AND 6 MONTHS LATER THE TIMING BELT WENT OUT THIS COST ME $800.00 OUT OF POCKET AFTER THE WARRANTY PAID THEIR PART. DROVE IT ANOTHER 3 MONTHS WHEN IT STALLED OUT AND STARTED SPUTTERING I REPLACED THE PLUGS, WIRES, IGNITION CONTROL BOX, AND FUEL FILTER AND FOUND A HOSE THAT HAD A HOLE IN IT FROM BEING MELTED AFTER REPLACING ALL OF THAT FOUND THE TRANSMISSION TO BE LEAKING AND NO WAY TO GET TO IT EASILY. STILL RAN CRAPPY TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT BROUGHT IT HOME AND IT WON'T RUN ANYMORE IT STILL DOES NOT RUN NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO HAD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK WHILE STILL PAYING ON THIS ONE AND CAN NOT USE IT ANYMORE. THIS IS MY SECOND FORD AND I WILL NOT EVER GET ANOTHER ONE. AND WITH ALL THIS GOING ON WHEN THE MECHANIC SHUT THE BACK PASSENGER THE GLASS SHATTERED AND IT WAS SHUT NORMALLY. ALSO THE RADIO HAS ISSUES. *TR
