Consumer Description

SPEEDOMETER HEAD HAS FAILED AGAIN ON THIS CAR. THE ORIGINAL HEAD FAILED AND WAS REPLACED BY FORD UNDER WARRANTY. THE HEAD THAT WAS INSTALLED HAS NOW FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE ORIGINAL, THE ORIGINAL PART FAILED AT 29,000 MILES AND THE REPLACEMENT ONE HAS NOW FAILED AT 27,000 MILES. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLES WAVERS AND FLOATS ALL OVER THE DIAL. SOMETIMES IT JUST PEGS AT 85 MPH WHEN THE ACTUAL SPEED IS 30 MPH OR LESS. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM TRAVELING. FORD WANTS FIVE HUNDRED PLUS DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS AGAIN. CALLS TO THE LOCAL DEALER HAVE REVEALED THAT THERE ARE OTHER TAURUS OWNERS WHO HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS SPEEDOMETER HEADS AND THEY COMMENTED THAT EVEN IF IT IS CHANGED THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WON'T FAIL AGAIN...IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE FOR FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO EXPECT AN OWNER TO PAY FOR THIS SAFETY RELATED REPAIR WHEN THEY ARE SUPPLYING DEFECTIVE PARTS!
