1999 Ford Contour Exterior lighting Problems

“My 1999 Ford Contour has less than 50,000 miles on it. The dashboard is coming unglued and has warped significantly. I am concerned that my safety is jeopardized. In addition, the headlights are literally falling out, due to what I perceive to be structural failure. There is no sign of visible rust or decay. Again, my safety is at risk, as my visibility is minimized by the inaccuracy of the aiming of the headlights.”

“Headlights are clouding over, making it dimmer at night and harder to see the road ahead. I have tried to clean the plastic lens but nothing seems to work. I think this is a poor engineering solution when the car is only 6 years old.”

“Well I had the worst experience ever in my life since I bought this car. I had this car repaired so many time I cant start to name off dates. I do know less than 6 months after I bought this car I drove to the beach less than 30 minutes always and it cut off. It started back up, but cut off 4 time before I got home. Next day I had to take it to the dealer to repair it. Since I had this car it has been nothing but a burden. I had to replace the ball joint once before, and as I write this letter it is being done again for a 2nd time. My heat and air stop working. …”

“Dt: lenses of the headlights get water in them when it rains. When the mechanic opened found a lot water inside about a quart or more. Condensation has collected inside since she bought it. Internally, the tail light also blew.”

“When driving at night it is very difficult to see the road due to poor headlights. Consumer contacted the dealership. The condensation inside the head lights made it difficult for the head lamps to properly illuminate the roads surface.”
