Description of the problem | The speedometer jumps erractically whenever the speed exceeds 40mph or a bump is encountered on the road. Based on the dangerous condition that this failure causes i do not understand why a recall has not been instituted to address this very serious defect. Based on the number of complaints registered on this site alone it is evident that this is not an isolated incident. I have contacted the ford/mercury people to no avail, i trust that this agency can rectify this matter before the speedometer failures result in unnecessary injuries or deaths. *ak |
