Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
