What 1995 Ford Contour owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The mounts for the driver's seat are about to break off. I heard a loud "pop" while in mid corner, then the seat bean to lean hard. When these mounts completely break, I believe it may cause a serious accident. I know that this is a common problem in ford contours, please do something as these seats are not safe. How can ford expect someone to remain in control of their vehicle if the seat breaks off while they are driving?
Seatback broken six inches up from bottom on outside post.
