NHTSA Complaint #10749315 — 2000 FORD WINDSTAR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES START DANCING BACK AND FORTH, THEN THE TACK GAUGE MAXED OUT AND STUCK UNDER THE SHIFT INDICATOR. I WENT TO A FORD DEALER IN FORT WAYNE IN. AND THEY REMOVED THE CLUSTER AND BROKE OFF PART OF THE TACK NEEDLE SO IT CAN'T BECOME STUCK AGAIN. STILL TO THIS DAY (A YEAR LATER) THE GAUGES START DANCING AND SOMETIMES FREEZE IN A POSITION. ONCE IT SHOWED I WAS DOING 80 MPH WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. SOME DAYS THEY WORK THEN OTHER TIMES THEY DONT. I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD WINDSTARS. LOOK UP DANCING GAUGES WINDSTAR ON YOU-TUBE AND SEE ALL THE ISSUES PEOPLE SHOW. IF THIS IS SUCH A BIG ISSUE WHY ISNT SOMETHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT? RESPECTFULLY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).? *JB
