I think something should be done to correct the clouding of headlight lens - it is definitely a hazard and very dangerous. . . There shouldn't have to be any incidents before this is looked into. . . . . Lets do it before there are injuries!!.

4 Visibility problem of the 1999 Ford Contour

Failure Date: 06/01/2005

There was a recall on the 1999 Ford Contour lx , for the dashboard peels back. I never recieved a notice we had moved from pennsylvania to georgia. I contacted Ford and they said they could not honor their recall notice. I would have to come up with 700. 00 -850. 00 dollars to get it fixed. I would also have to incur payments for a rental, while my car is being worked on. Please help.

5 Visibility problem of the 2000 Ford Contour

Failure Date: 02/16/2004

The dashboard has separated and causing visibility problems as well as problems with the venting system. The defroster air flow is diverted and essentially useless. I am concerned that the air bags could not deploy if needed. I also did not get the recall, found out about it too late. Local dealer said call Ford. Customer service suggested I get it repaired since it is a safety issue but that they would provide no help at this time. She said reports like these are what get the engineers to consider recalls---when?.

6 Visibility problem of the 2000 Ford Contour

Failure Date: 05/14/2003

Dashboard began slowly warping over a year. It got to the point where visibility ahead was compromised, and the defroster vents were no longer functioning. Dealer would not cover a replacement, so I had the work done at a local body shop at my full cost. So far, the replacement dash is ok.
