Consumer Description

GAUGES BOTTOM OUT OCCASIONALLY AND THE LIGHTS ON THE GAUGES WILL ALSO GO OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS. I GOOGLED THIS AND FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS AND ARTICLES WHERE OTHERS HAVE RUN INTO THIS. A DEFECT/SHORT IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER. TO DATE THOUGH THE NHTSA OR FORD HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING. DRIVING AT 50MPH AND AT NIGHT TIME HAS TO BE CONSIDERED A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. *TR
