| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1998 ford contour svt, this is my third one. every one i purchase has the same problem, the wires in the wire harness for the computer and car crack and the coating just falls right off, which allows the wires to the computer to touch which shorts the computer and makes the car no longer start, it will crank but it will not start cause the computer in shorted and confused so there is no fuel and no spark going to the fuel rail or the coil pack. at this point the car needs a wire harness and a pcm and this all costs close to $3000 of which i do not have to fix it. my friend worked for general electric and he said he has seen this before at the factory when the coating is heated to high once it drys its only a matter of time before the coating cracks and flakes off. ford says they will not help me although its a consistent problem with these svt contours i am hoping this can help all us ford lovers. *nm |
