1997 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"I love my car, but the paint job stinks!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clear coating was peeling badly around 40,000.
Hose busted at 60,000, had the car towed to the dealer.
When driving in mountains or in slow traffic at 10-35 mph, the front end is vibrating. Once over 40 mph the car seems to smooth out. It does not feel like cutting out, more like the front end or transmission?
Taking it to thw dealer for a check up.
General comments?
The 97 Thunderbird is a comfortable and smooth ride, no real problems, but is starting worry me now that it is getting close to the 100,000 mark.
I want to keep this car forever!
