Produced from 1995 to 2000, the Ford Contour--a compact four-door sedan--has a host of problems with its model-year entries. Among its main problematic components is its transmission.
Main Transmission Problem
The most common problem with the Ford Contour's transmission is the failure of the flex plate on the four-speed automatic transmission. Such a defect may prevent the car from starting, and it mostly affects the 1998, 1999 and 2000 model year Contours.
Other Transmission Problems
Other transmission problems with the Ford Contour transmission--reported by owners on various websites--include faulty manual lever position sensors, transmission leaks, and transmission noise on the five-speed manual gearboxes due to gear clash.
Cost
As of September 2010, the cost to repair a Ford Contour flex plate was estimated at $110 for parts. An additional $650 was needed for labor.
