So it just happened to me and I wanted to get a showing of who else has fallen victim to this engineering flaw.
please let me know what your end results were as well. i.e. I got a new engine and Ford picked up the bill. OR I traded the contour in as is and got a different vehicle.
By the way, if any of you that have had the problem could email
tmauger@ford.com and give him your VIN# and your case history of the problem that would help get it noticed. He works at SVT and seems to want to help get our problems heard.
Thanks
