FORD THUNDERBIRD 2005 car safety problem was reported on Feb 17, 2006.FORD THUNDERBIRD 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW . while driving to work at approx. 65 mph, my drivers side, side airbag deployed. thankfully i didn't lose control of my vehicle. i pulled to the side of the road and exited my vehicle. i checked my car, although i knew i didn't hit anything or run over anything. there were no signs of impact and nothing in the road behind me. i took my vehicle to the dealership where i bought it. they said they'd never seen anything like it. that was 2/17/06. today, on 2/20/06 they told me they would not repair it as i have 40,000 miles on my car and that the deployment was caused by my running over something in the road. apparently that's what the computer code told them. there was absolutely no reason for that air bag to deploy. i believe they just don't want to admit responsibility for a malfunction. i could have been seriously injured at that speed. it knocked my over towards the passenger side of the car. my insurance company is now taking care of the claim and the airbag and seat will be repaired at their and my cost. the thing that upsets me is, that airbag shouldn't have deployed from running over something. they couldn't even tell by looking under the car that i ran over something, only what the computer code told them. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 41000 miles.

FORD THUNDERBIRD 2005 car safety problem was reported on Sept 06, 2006.FORD THUNDERBIRD 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with AIR BAGS . on september 6, 2006 while traveling on an 8-lane highway at a speed of approximately 70 mph the drivers side airbag on my 2005 ford thunderbird deployed with a very loud noise and considerable force. there was no impact or accident involved with this incident. the air bag simply deployed for no apparent reason. fortunately, the vehicle was able to be controlled and pulled off the highway safely. the car was then taken to darling ford in bangor maine on september 11, 2005 where it was inspected and found to have no signs of any recent impact either on the exterior or the underbody. the vehicle was purchased new on february 14th 2005 and has gone approximately 16,000 miles. this is well within the warranty period for this vehicle. the dealer told us the car would likely have to be inspected by ford personnel to determine the cause and to authorize any repairs. the dealer later contacted us on september 18th who told him that ford had decided not to cover any costs associated with this incident even though there were no signs of any impact. this decision was made without any further inspection of the vehicle. this incident was clearly a fault of the airbag system, and since we cannot find any exclusion of the ford warranty regarding the airbag system we are seeking authorization for repairs to this vehicle. it is very fortunate no one was seriously injured due to the faulty operation of this device. further, the dealer tells us that the deployment of the side air bag now disables all of the air bags leaving the driver and any passengers in a very vulnerable situation. *jb .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 16000 miles.

FORD THUNDERBIRD 2005 car safety problem was reported on Aug 11, 2010.FORD THUNDERBIRD 2005, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . my 2005 ford thunderbird for no apparent reason just looses power and the wrench icon come on. i was driving on the freeway and this happened and i barely made it to the side of the road. this happened to me in 2007 and i took it in to a ford dealership and they could not find anything wrong. now it is happening again and i almost got in to a serious accident at high speed. i did a search and found that this is has happened enough that ford extended the warranty for the coil on plug. when i called my dealership and explained the problem they told me that the cop is not the problem but to bring it in. in my search i found that several people with this same problem were told that the cop was not the problem only to spend over $1500 on an electronic throttle control and that did not fix it. when they went back the problem was then discovered to be the cop. this is dangerous and should be a recall. at the very least the service people at ford should be aware of this potential life threatening problem. from what i have found it has been a problem since the 2002 thunderbird. my ford dealer should have been aware of this when i brought the car in under full warranty in 2007 before i had another incident that could have caused a very serious accident. this was very scary and it alarms me that it is not being taken seriously enough. *tr.Mileage was 39896 miles.
