Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER IN 1998 MUSTANG STOPPED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL SOMETIMES GAUGE SPEED INCORRECTLY, AND TELL I AM GOING ABOUT 85 MPH WHEN I AM DOING ANYWHERE FROM 15-30 MPH. THEN IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN STAY ON 0 MPH. SOMETIMES TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT RESETS IT, OTHER TIMES IT DOES NOT. I WOULD SAY THAT THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK ACCURATELY ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT LEAD UP TO THIS HAPPENING, IT JUST STARTED ONE DAY. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IF IT IS GOING TO WORK WHEN I TURN IT ON OR NOT. SOMETIMES IT WILL GET STUCK ON 0 MPH FOR DAYS, AND THE ONLY TIME IT WILL RESET ITSELF IS WHEN I GET ON A HIGHWAY AND DO ABOUT 65 MPH. SO FAR, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *JB
