Consumer Description
THE SPEEDOMETER ON THE CAR WAS REPLACED AT 50000 MILES BECAUSE IT JUMPED AROUND AND MADE A RATTLING NOISE. NOW THE REPLACEMENT SPEEDOMETER IS DOING THE SAME THING. THE SPEED AT WHICH THE PROBLEM STARTS IS NOW DOWN TO 40 MPH. THE NEEDLE JUMPS ALL OVER A RANGE OF ABOUT 15 MPH ABOVE AND BELOW THE ACTUAL SPEED, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW FAST I AM DRIVING. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OTHER TAURUS OWNERS AND LOOKED ON THE INTERNET, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED FOR REPAIRING THIS DANGEROUS (AND APPARENTLY COMMON) PROBLEM.
