Ford Thunderbird 2004 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10140599

FORD THUNDERBIRD 2004 car safety problem was reported on Oct 05, 2005.FORD THUNDERBIRD 2004, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . on august 19, 2004 i was parking my 2004 t-bird in the parking lot at work. my foot was on the brake. as i eased in, i realized i wanted to edge forward an inch or two so i slowly began to release my foot from the brake and without warning the car lurched forward hitting the curb and flew forward 4-5 feet while i was putting extreme pressure on the brake pedal. it finally stopped as the car actually hit the company signage. the front end was damaged to the tune of ------. not understanding how it happened, i chalked it up to human error, although i knew i had not touched the gas pedal. october 5, 2005. i am slowly pulling into my garage in the same 2004 t-bird. as i approach the curb and a 5 foot deep cement stoop, i need to edge in another 1 to 2 inches to clear the garage door. as i gingerly begin to release the pressure on my brake, the vehicle lurches forward hitting the curb and flying forward into an upright freezer in the garage on the stoop- 5 feet from where the car usually is parked. the force is so great that the freezer is t-boned and pushed into the finished wall of the garage, which in turn rearranges the cabinet in the powder room in the living quarters of my home. the counter top/sink combo is shattered. the event was most disturbing and frightening. the car was towed to the dealer service dept. of willowbrook ford in willowbrook, il. after examination and finding no mechanical defects it was transferred to the body shop where i was informed over the phone that nothing was found mechanically wrong and they couldn't reproduce the incident. the insurance had approved payment for body repairs and so it was fixed. the car has been returned to me completely repaired, but i am never going to drive it again. a t-bird enthusiast website www.thunderbirdnest.com also relates similar stories of horror. perhaps ford will do something once someone is maimed or killed. *jb .Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 16028 miles.

FORD THUNDERBIRD 2004 car safety problem was reported on Oct 27, 2014.FORD THUNDERBIRD 2004, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . as i was parking my car, it suddenly accelerated at a very high rate of speed. i was parking by a wooded area, and was propelled about 2 car lengths into the bushes in the woods (barely missing a tree) before i was able to stop the car. not certain if the car stopped because of my braking, or because the thick bushes would not permit the car to travel any further. i had the car towed to the ford dealership, but the service dept. has not been able to find the problem. i am absolutely certain this was not a "driver error" situation and am very concerned about continuing to drive this vehicle should this occur again and i hit someone or something less forgiving than the bushes in the woods .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 83000 miles.

Ford Thunderbird 2004 Reports


my 95 ford exploere engine surges when turn my air conditioner on

Ihave a 1994 ford probe which has started to idle very low and stalls at times. It is a 4 cyl. w/ air and a 5 speed. any ideas? I replaced the fuel filter, air flow meter and added HEAT to gas tank to dry and clean fuel system. I think my pcv valv

should a standard transmission truck start when it is in gear without the clucth engaged?

should a 2005 standard transmission ford ranger start when in gear without the clutch engaged?

96 Ford F250 Emergency brake lever gets caught on the auto adjustment spring, causing brakes to be permanently engaged, also allowing the parking break lever to rub against the hub, which can cut through over time.

try pushing the pedals button closer to you. you must have the pedal adjustment button to the left of the radio, looks like a foot, that brings the pedals more inward towards the driver. hope it helped. or look carefully if a wire has corroded. it

i would check ur multi switch on ur stearing colum

on the pedal

whats the sound

Just bought an '06 E-350 van. Left d'ship got on highway and noticed shimmy when I got to 60....same problem????

that happened to me last night! If you rock the car back and for while shifting then it should release the safety lock!

why does it take turning off the veh. while pulling in on the shifter arm, them starting it again while still holding it inwards ever so slightly??
