| 1997 | FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER | I AM TRYING TO FIND ANY INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO AUTOMOBILES THAT HAVE DUAL/ALTERATIVE FUEL SYSTEMS. MY VEHICLE HAS A PROPANE TANK IN THE TRUNK OF THE CAR, AND RUNS ON EITHER GASOLINE OR PROPANE BY FLIPPING A SWITCH LOCATED ON THE DASHBOARD. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD CONTINUAL PROBLEMS - CUTTING OFF WHILE IDILING. NONE OF THE LOCAL FORD DEALERS WILL WORK ON THE AUTO BECUASE THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO ONE TRAINED ON THESE TYPE OF FUEL SYSTEMS, AND HAVE NO INFORMATION ON FORD HAVING EVER MANUFACTURED A VEHICLE WITH THESE TYPE ENGINE OR FUEL SYSTEM.*AK |
| 1999 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS | 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. *AK |
