1993 Ford Thunderbird review from North America
"A money pit"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
What hasn't gone wrong with this car. I have replaced the engine. I have had to have the radiator replaced twice. I have replaced the heating coil. I have thrown a rod and had to replace the transmission. I go through tires in a year due to the poor alignment.
General comments?
I hate this car. I have spent in repairs three times what I paid for the car. But I have spent so much money on it, I can't get another car. DO NOT buy this car. The engine is bad. Ford would not recall it for the defect even though they recalled the 94, which has the exact same engine.
