My 98 Contour is garbage!!!

I baught my 98 Contour in November of 2002. 2 days after bringing it home from the dealership I was unable to reverse. I had it towed back and apparently it was some sort of computer chip that needed replacing. It was not covered by my warranty (go figure!) and they tried to charge me $800.00 which I refused to pay....I made a fuss to the owner and he finally agreed to replace it free of charge.
Since then, I have had the heat blow out on me several times in winter because the heater is somehow wired to the ABS brakes...so whenever I go into a slide and the ABS kicks in...there goes my heat.
I have had to get the spark plugs replaced over and over and over again....and the wires as well! This car is a pain in the A#$ in winter but always a great car in summer!!! weird...
Now.....rear struts are gone (since the other day when it was freezing cold) and we think that the Bosch spark plugs we had redone last month...one is gone again because it is hesitating yet again....
BOY THEY SAW ME COMING WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR!!!! UGH!!!!

Maybe....but how do I go about rectifying this? because I was never contacted about any of these recalls.
