Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches E. Great Lakes Dealer probs... Any good ones around?

Ok my lovely 99 SE is "mooseing" all of a sudden after Crisman Linc/Merc did a 30,000 tune up and fixed the oil pan that penzoil stripped. Well on top of that the thing is running like @$$! revs bounce all over while cold and the TH is Insane all of a sudden. I know cars go wacky in the cold but this is nuts. The car sudders (the drivetrain shakes) when the secondaries hit in 1st and 2nd gear. In all gears leting off the gas and getting back on it does a similar thing.

Anywho's... If someone has a good dealer in the Rochester/southfield area I'd love to take it to them. Oh and is Crisman giving me the run around? They also say the rear bumper saging is from it getting hit not the faulty design.

TIA,
Ray

Unless every SVT out there was hit before they were bought then I don't think it's because of that. I think that's BS. I've never had any problems with Dean Sellers on 15 mile between Crooks and Coolidge. We've been taking cars there for years, and nothing too big to complain about. My car does the same as yours with the shuddering. When I'm in lower RPM's it does it, and then when i go to push the gas pedal, whether it be a little bit or push it hard, it studders some more before it goes normal.

RyeLou,

Thanks for responding... So you think I can get dean to fix it under warranty? (I can't spell I know) I did some more poking around and it seems that the engine mount and tranny mounts might be gone... I'm use to Jeeps (86 CJ7 w/258) but with a 12" crow bar I can shift the whole engine with just resting my hand on it. Now in a jeep that means its toast.. but what about our cars? I couldn't lift the car but any one know where the tranny mount sits? Is it accessable? or will I need a shop to swap it out for me? And one last thing.. I know we have poly inserts for the engine mounts but I havn't found any poly tranny mounts. Do they exist?


Thanks,
Ray

Hey Ray. Tomorrow morning I have to go to Dean Sellers to pick up my friend before we go to school. I'll ask them if the motor moutns are covered under the warrenty and if they'd fix them on your car. I'll let you know a.s.a.p.

And....

Thanks though,
Ray
