Consumer Description

I WOULD LIKE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THE FORD 500, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS A DEFECT CAUSING ALL OF THE NEEDLES AND CONTROLS TO MALFUNCTION LEAVING THE DRIVER WITH NO SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE OR TEMPERATURE GAUGE, FORD IS AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO THE DEALERS, HOWEVER, WITH NO RECALL YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PANEL AND THIS MAY KEEP SOME PEOPLE FROM HAVING THEM REPLACED, I WAS CHARGED A $100 DEDUCTIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR AND IN ALL FAIRNESS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY A FORD RECALL SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!! *TR
