1995 Ford Thunderbird LX from North America - Comments

All interior electronics stopped functioning 3 months into owning it. Transmission went out the same time.

6 months later, 1999: Ignition switch replaced - locked down in the off position - had to have it dragged screeching across the parking lot onto the flatbed for repair.

Interior electronics stopped functioning.

2001: Ignition switch stuck to cranked position - have sent it back for repair.

Interior electronics stopped functioning - have sent back for repair.

Turn signals work sometimes and sometimes not (dealer can find no explanation).

Transmission appears to be going bad again.

This car was the greenest lemon I have ever seen!

A pocketbook's worst nightmare.

Ford - Found On Road Dead - at least this Ford is more dead than alive.

I have owned my 1995 Thunderbird for a year now and the only complaint I have with the car is the headlight covers are changing colors.

In the car there isn't the best transmission, but you have to make sure you annually change the fluid.

I bought the car off the owner and he had no problems at all. He kept up with all the tune ups and changed all the fluids as it says in the owner's manual.

I don't think it's the car, not to be rude, but I think you are mistreating the car and that is why it is giving you problems.

I have a 1995 Ford T-bird, and I love it. Every tree has a bad lemon.

I have owned my '95 4.6 V8 for five years now. I have replaced the brakes at least 5 times. The bolt that holds the caliper the the car fell off while I was driving. When you get to 40 and 50 miles an hour the car shakes and does not want to shift. I have replaced thermostats', O2 sensors, Vacuum tubes and now my transmission is leaking.

I have owned my FORD Thunderbird LX 6 cyl for 3 years. The mileage is currently 107,000. This car has been babied and maintained meticulously. Unfortunately, here is what has gone wrong since I have owned it along with the associated repair bills. 1) Water pump $506 2) Head Gasket $1375 3) Motor Mounts $600 4) Alternator $300 3) Solenoid $200 4) Tensioner Pulley $175 5) Defective Sensor causing high idle $175 6) Shocks and Struts $575 7) Brake Rotors due to warping (front) $300 x 2 8) Oil Pump $400. Total in 3 years $4906. I paid $4500 and thought I was getting a steal because the car LOOKS great. Total to own $9406. My advice. STAY AWAY FROM FORD CARS! I have a Ford E-350 VAN with 224,000 miles and it runs better that the Thundebird. Obviously FORD can make good vehicles if they want to. They just CHOOSE not to. My mechanic warned me about this car (although he is making a killing on it) and now I know why. When will FORD learn?

I was giving a 1995 Ford Thunderbird LX... The problem I have is that my speedometer chooses when it wants to work... I am not sure if I need a new cable cord or something else... Please Help... Cass...
