I bought a 1996 Ford Contour se in June of 2003. I have since replaced the water pump 4 times. I bought the car from a man who blew the engine becuase the water pump went and he let the car over heat. I have replaced it in oct. 2003,February 2004,June 2004,and Dec. 2004. It is really started to become a burden.

Horn has not worked properly. Vehicle has been taken to the dealer on 3 different occasions. Dealer has not been able to remedy the problem. Horn has been replaced by dealer, but problem still occurs.
Ongoing problem with horn unable to operate properly when needed. Been in / out of dealer shop on two occasions, and problem could not be resolved. Dealer refused to do anything more.
There is a short within the electrical system, causing the horn, brinker's and brake light's not to work. Also, all the rubber has fallen off the door panel, and the driver's side shoulder belt doesn't retract.
When the horn is in use it fails to work properly when pressed. Has taken vehicle to dealer for repairs, which were not done. Had contacted the dealer, again, and was informed that parts had to be ordered.
When driving at any speed the air bag light keeps coming on, and the the horn doesn't work. Also, the horn is very hard when trying to press it. Dealer repaired the horn, and the problem is back, and they can't determine the problem.
Horn is inoperable. The dealer has inspected the vehicle.
In order to use the horn excessive pressure has to be applied to make it work. Sometimes it does not work at all. Dealer has replaced the contacts and problem still exists.
