“While driving20 MPH consumer applied the brakes and pedal went to the floor. A loud streaking noise was heard from the front. Consumer lost control of the vehicle and collided with another vehicle. Both frontal air bags did not deploy. The driver sustained neck injuries. The driver was able to drive the vehicle home.”

“As to head gaskets, have had two sets of failures, at approx. 100k apart . . . . As to brakes, have had multiple replacements of rotors due to chronic warping . . . . As to transmission, have had to have purchase lifetime warranty transmission from aamco due to failures in 2-3 & 3-4 shifts.”

“Could smell antifreeze coming from the tail pipe shortly before the heaed gasket blew and engine began to run poorly and blow white smoke from the tailpipe. This repair was very costly and Ford has begun to compensate owners of other Ford models with the exact same engine, but no the Ford Thunderbird.t.”

“While pulling into a parking space at a sight incline postion, ABS motor engaged, causing front brakesto grabs and noise coming from under the hood. Consumer drove vehicle home, and the ABS motor remained on after turning vehicle off. Dealer was notified,and unwilling to assist, because vehicle was out of its warranty, and not coverwd under a manufacturer's recall. Provide any further information on this matter.”
