STRUCTURE
I CONTACTED FORD TO FIND OUT RECALL INFORMATION ON THE 1999 FORD CONTOUR WHICH DASHBOARD WAS CURLING UP AND FORWARD. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS VOLUNTARY RECALL EXPIRED IN 2002, AND THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THEREFORE , IT WILL NOT BE FIXED, AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY. I WISH TO STATE THAT IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY PROBLEM AS IT IS CURLING UP AND FORWARD IN THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN IT CURLS UP IT CAUSES OBSTRUCTION TO THE DRIVER'S VIEW. PLEASE IF YOU WOULD LIKE I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE PICTURES. THIS CAR WAS BECOMING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME, AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE OR SELL IT. TO FIX IT WOULD BE MORE THAN THE CAR WAS WORTH. THEREFORE, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY I WILL BE OUT OF A VEHICLE. *AK
