| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The front springs are defective and break thus collaspsing the struts and making the vehicle hard to handle. the plastic intake manifild coolant channel walls are to thin and tend to blow-out. finally, the backlit rear reflector tends to burnout to ofter for a integrated part. the vehicle will not pass inspection because the reflector is an integrated part of the tail light assembly. the cost of replacement is prohibitive so the reflctor remains burned out on many of the other t-birds i see on the road causing a problem with the vehicle's visibility. the ilumenator in the reflector should be servicable. *ak |
