Thunderbird 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

I bought my 1997 Thunderbird 4-15-2003 w/70000 miles, after reading all the complaints on this page I can only relate to 2 of them, the viberation in the transmission on upshift, and the front end shaking above 50 mph.but I'm so glad. I bought a 2 yr.extented warrenty, because it looks like I'm in for some problens. I can be contacted at tbird97@intergate.com

Repeated replacement of front disk pads and rotors, and failure to check back brakes which cost me $361 to have repaired. Also, constant leaks in the air conditioning system that they can't seem to fix.
