Description of the problem | Speedometer replaced @ 68,000 miles, failed again @ 82,220. At 30 mph speedo jumps to 85 mph, ford claims they do not have a speedometer problem, but your complaint data base shows otherwise. Ford refused to do anything about this unless i incur the total expense around $500. - this is a safety issue as you have no way to gauge your speed. I also have a 92 taurus with the same speedometer head, and that one has failed twice too. |
