Failure Date: 07/22/2005

To whom it may concern! my 1997 Ford Thunderbird is not listed why? I have a lot of problems with the smog stuff every year I pay a lot of money. When temperatures are hot outside over 90 the engine light comes on and says service engine, or when I go up a long hill and my car overheats the engine light comes on and says service engine and it is always about an oxygen sensor or other smog related items that always cost $300 to $650 I am going b broke being on a fixed income. Ford can't fix my front end vibration I had all alignments done wheel balancing 4 times nothing helps. My steering wheel vibrates also. Please help! manfred gauer .

Request for reimbursement for replacement of the intake manifold. The consumer was told that the manifold would only be replaced upon failure. The vehicle had been losing antifreeze. Each time the vehicle was taken to the dealer, he was told that everything was fine. The manifold finally failed and was out of warranty. The dealer would not honor the open recall. The check engine light was intermittent due to a bad sensor.
