| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The transmission on my ford contour went out after just 70,000 miles. of course it was after the warranty had ended. i did some research and found that other contours were experiencing the same problem. ford did not recall and i paid 3000 dollars for ford to replace it. along with the starter. also the battery for the car is an international battery which is for bmw's and "international" vehicles. ford is american yet made a car that needed an international battery. so a year and a half after the transmission was replaced sears has informed me that the transmission is leaking fluid and recommends i not drive the vehicle any more. while that happened the alternator went out on it. this car is junk and ford knows it!! yet they have done nothing about it!!! *nm |
