Consumer Description

I KNOW A LOT OF OTHER OWNER OF THE SAME CAR ENCOUNTERED THE EXACTLY SAME VCT PROBLEM (CODE P1381), AND IT COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO BE FIXED. IF ANYONE TAKE TIME READ THE CONTOUR OWNER'S PROBLEM FORUM LOCATED ON THE WEB (WWW.CONTOUR.ORG), HE FINDS TONS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEM OF THIS CAR. IT'S DEFINITELY OUTRAGOUS IN THE SENSE OF STATISTICS. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT OF THIS CAR IS WAY ABOVE THE WILDEST IMAGINE ON THE FREQUENCY THAT IT COULD EVER HAPPED TO ANY EXISTING MODEL OF CAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AT LEAST IN THE SENSE OF A NATIONAL RECALL. CEL, THE BIGGEST NIGHTMARE OF FORD CONTOUR! ANYONE WHO MADE THIS CAR SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH IT.*AK
