Some Ford Contour owners report experiencing sudden loss of power while driving, which can be concerning and potentially dangerous. Common causes include bad spark plugs, which can lead to power loss, and failing fuel pumps, which represent a more serious issue. Additionally, electrical problems involving the battery, alternator, or overall electrical system may also result in power loss. Malfunctioning engine sensors or components can disrupt engine performance and lead to similar issues, as can a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor. Owners are advised to address these issues promptly by consulting a professional mechanic to diagnose and repair the underlying causes, ensuring safety on the road and preventing further damage.
