This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have contact yam's on several occassion concering this car running hot. There comment to me was to get it to the because it would cause them more money to pick it up.under the conditon the car was running I could not it has set up for several months. Thank you for your help.
This car has experienced small engine coolant leaks.when I received a notice (# 00M10) from the dealer concerning head gasket failure, I took my car to mathews Ford to check out this problem. I was told I did not have head gasket failure, but I do have a cracked front cover engine gasket. $870 to repair and Ford would not offer any financial assistance. I learned of Ford's owner notification #99B29 which offers financial consideration for owners of the 1996 Thunderbirds. When I asked the dealer about this he informed me my car was too old and age has caused the gasket to crack. I believe this is a major flaw in this engine, and Ford has known about this problem and offers no help. This engine andgasket are defective. A gasket shouldn't blow at 27000 miles. I am risking my safety by driving this known defective product.
