Hah...Redhawk thanks for letting me know that maybe me or my maintenence sucks!
Look..my brother has a 95 Contour...Bought his a couple of months after me. He has a 5 speed I have an Auto Mystique LS..both are 6 cyl.
His water pump blew out while he was sitting at a light..just like many other here have had happen.
Many Automatic tranny drivers here have had the same problem as me as well as broken front stabilizers, range finders (tranny), broken springs, bad EGR sensors, and cars with multiple unforseen codes.
I have never had a car with so many problems.
So ya...these cars suck.
Thanks for your comments.
