NHTSA Complaint #10936240 — 2013 FORD FOCUS

THE FUSE THAT CONTROLS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT STAY IN. IT DOES NOT "BLOW" AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE NO SPEEDOMETER,HEAT OR GAS GAUGE,TURN SIGNALS, ECT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VALID SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THIS FUSE DOES NOT ALLOW THE CURRENT TO GET TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THEN THE MPG READOUT RETURNS TO 30.7 IN LIEU OF WHAT WAS BEING SHOWN AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. ANYTIME YOUR SIGNAL LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK THAT IS A RECALLABLE SITUATION. I BELIEV FOMOCO KNOWS ABOUT THIS. ALSO THE STICKER ON THE DOOR JAMB IN REGARDS TO TIRE PRESSURE READS 30 PSI. RIGHT NOW I HAVE 30 PSI IN MY TIRES AND THE "LOW TIRE" LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON.WHEN I CONTACTED MY DEALER HE SAID TO PUT 35 PSI IN EACH TIRE TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. IF THE TIRE MANUFACTURERS WANTED MORE THAN 30PSI IN THEIR TIRES THEN WHY DOES THE DOOR STICKER NOT SAY SO AND ALSO THE TIRE BOOKLET.
