3 Turn Signal Flasher Unit problem of the 1998 Ford Contour

Failure Date: 02/28/2002

I know a couple of people who have had experienced the same problems with their Contours as I have. I bought this car through a private party and took out an extended warranty through my credit union. The transmission was covered but the signals and the shifter lever was not costing me hundreds of dollars. How many complaints does it take until the manufacturer is forced to recall the parts. I read the comments on the transmissions and it is amazing that everyone is experiencing the same thing, it goes out without warning.

6 Turn Signal Flasher Unit problem of the 1997 Ford Contour

Failure Date: 07/05/1997

Since this car was new I have replaced the rear signal bulbs 3 times myself before bringing the car in for service. Since then I have had this car at the dealer no less than 5 times in the last 3 years for signal lights. They have replcaced the bulbs 5 times mostly drivers side. Replaced defective bulb sockets and poor wiring(loose connections). I was told that the bulbs on both rear signals were replaced the last time at the dealer. I also noticed heat damage on some of the sockets. I really don't think everything is ok.
