Two problems related to alternator/generator/regulator have been reported for the 1997 Ford Contour. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When making a left turn while driving in rainy weather or going through small puddle of water, the water splashes on the generator ,causing complete power loss. Vehicle was taken to dealership on September 20th, but the problem has not been corrected. Please provide any further information.
The wires to the a\c and the alternator have recently burned up. . Completly melted. . I am afraid that the car is going to catch fire. . Also if you could look at my warranty through auto nation you could see how many problems I have had with this car. . It's outragous. . If I did not have warranty I do not know what I would do. . I want to trade it in all though I have only had it for about a year in a half. . But I can't aford to keep fixing it. . . . Thank you c. J stafford.
