1994 Ford Thunderbird LX review from North America
"I would love it more if Ford didn't make it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went three times. Twice under warranty. The last was my $$$.
I can't even count how many O2 sensors I had to buy.
The eternal check engine light has now been covered with tape so I don't have to see it anymore. No dealership has been able to tell me why it's on.
Power seat motors are weak.
General comments?
Overall, I love my T-bird. It has power, it's comfortable, it handles great and the ride is smooth. I just wish that FORD didn't make it. The experience I have had with Ford is horrible to say the least. The reocurring problem with the transmission has been a real hassle.
It now has 140k miles on it and still gets me around in style. And yup, the check engine light has been on for 75k miles. It's a mystery!!
