1996 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"Fair bargain, should never been pulled from the Ford lineup"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems with engine until Ford recalled it for a gasket replacement, then the engine blew up but Ford replaced it.
It has always and still does make a growling noise while moving and turning the steering wheel in either direction. Can anyone help on this problem as the Ford dealer has no clue.
Paint really sucks too.
General comments?
Overall it has been a good car. Wife likes it and it is unusual for her to like anything but her mother!
