Power Train · reported Jun 4, 2007
I replaced the transmission in my 2001 ford contour in august, 2006. It is now june, 2007 and the transmission needs replacing again!!! I have heard from several people with contours that this is a common problem with that particular make/model. They have all gotten rid of theirs because of this major problem.

Dashboard is separating from the structure and lifting upwards. This is causing an obstruction of the driver's view through the windshield. This may be caused by heat moisture.
