| After all the problems that i have experienced with my ford thunderbird, i now refuse to purchase another ford car and i would never recommend a ford vehicle to anyone. between the power window failures, transmission failure, air compressor failure, batter failure, fuel pump failure, throttle failure, etc... i could keep going on how much trouble it has put me through and waste of money that this car has cost me. i am completely dissatisfied. i wanted to purchase an american made vehicle for certain aspects of knowing i am helping out the us(job wise), but my views have since changed. besides the fact that i refuse to buy another ford car, i realize that quality and safety are not ford's strength and may leave to purchase a foreign car to which i may find some happiness. it has gotten to the point where the car is in the shop ever other week. if it's not one problem, it is another. i am truly fed up. and by the way, i know for a fact that i am not the only person with these problems. i know others, who through bad experiences also refuse to buy ford vehicles. *ak | |||
