Faults:

Replaced the Serpentine Belt at 30,000, cost about $70.00.

Transmission started leaking at 38,000, had the seal replaced, it cost about $50.00.

Replaced the brakes at 75,000, cost about $350.00.

General Comments:

This is a great car, I have had no problems other than normal wear and tear, but that can be expected.

I wish Ford would have continued to make this style T-Bird.

Faults:

Brake fluid cap leaked and was replaced under warranty around 5000 miles. Brake fluid caused light paint damage beneath container.

A/C leaked and all the coolant escaped at 300 miles.

General Comments:

I have modified this car with larger throttle body and MAFS. Added Superchips computer module. This car has the looks and performance I like, while fitting four adults with ease.

Faults:

This car was great.

I didn't have any problems with it until I turned it over on its top! The entire car was damaged. There wasn't any part of the body uncrushed. The frame was also bent. The engine was ruined.

General Comments:

The car ran great on the highway.

Faults:

I had to replace a heater hose at about 70,000 miles.

The tires and brakes have been changed several times, as with any car.

General Comments:

This car hasn't had any major problems while it has been in my possession.

The heater hose busted at about 70,000 miles, but that was caused by racing a 35th Edition Mustang, which I beat!

I had recently thought about selling my Thunderbird, but decided that I would keep it. The car has a lot of power already but I want just a little more power, so I'm currently in the process of adding performance parts, ground effects, and other accessories to give it that extra edge.

It's just an all around great car.

Faults:

Transmission slip, clunk, vibrations around 20,000 miles.

Locking knob on the clutch became hard to operate around 45,000 miles.

Constant banging when reducing speed and coming to a stop from significant speed.

Knob on the clutch became impossible to operate (to disengage from park) at 67,000.

Stereo sound not that great.

Head rests too low to be of any use.

General Comments:

Got the car "new" despite the existing 400 miles that I was told were due to the drive from one car dealer to another over the state border.

Nice car.

4.6 V8 a must, 3.8 is completely unable to pull the weight of this car.

Sport option great, traction control saved my life on the highway once when a jerk moved into my lane. But reliability is unacceptable. I had to sell it to a local car dealer store in a hurry before I was stranded at home unable to disengage from park.

Perfect car for someone who wants good looking and sporty AND mature at the same time, and who can live with the uncertainty of how long it will last.

Faults:

I've had NO problems with my T'Bird.

General Comments:

I still have the original brakes, battery, hoses, etc., only replaced fan belt twice due to wear, front struts and rear shocks. The best car I have ever owned. Absolutely no problems.

All highway miles, still 25-28 mpg and only on the second set of tires. Doesn't burn a drop of oil, no leaks and I drive it 80-85 mph on the Interstate everyday.
