Description of the problem	Coil and plug failure in traffic - my car experienced intermittent stalling in traffic and misfiring on the highway. Luckily, i was able to start the ford car and move me and the ford car out of harms way. Ford recognizes the issue with the 2003 and in may of 2008 ford covered the 2004 and 2005 thunderbirds but is ignoring the 2002. I had two of the eight coil on plug assembles replaced and i am concerned that any one of the next six will again fail on the road.
