| Build Years/Makes/Models: | 1998 FORD CONTOUR |
| Occurances: | |
| Reference Number: | 10030828 |
| Summary: | SUFFERED A WATER PUMP FAILURE. THE PLASTIC/BAKELITE IMPELLER SHATTERED CATASTROPHICALLY, RESULTING IN PARTS STREWN THROUGHOUT COOLANT SYSTEM. TOTAL REPAIR COST: $470. SINCE PART WAS REPLACED AT AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE, FORD WILL NOT REPORT THE FAULTY PART. PERHAPS PROPYLENE GLYCOL, THE PRINCIPLE CHEMICAL FOUND IN COOLANT, CAUSES THE PLASTIC PART TO BECOME BRITTLE AND SHATTER, BUT NO ONE AT FORD WILL LISTEN TO THAT. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOUND ON WEB REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. TIME FOR A RECALL - THE TORONTO FIELD OFFICE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.*AK |
