Consumer Description

THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 1995 FORD ESCORT LX IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WHEN I GET TO 60-65 MPH, THE NEEDLE BEGINS TO JUMP ALL OVER THE PLACE AND A HIGH PITCHED NOISE COMES OUT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I HAVE EXAMINED YOUR COMPLAINT SITE AND NOTICED A NUMBER OF OTHER COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THESE SPEEDOMETERS. COULD YOU POSSIBLY LOOK BACK AT COMPLAINTS FROM 1993-1996 OWNERS OF FORD VEHICLES AND DETERMINE IF A RECALL IS WARRANTED? I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THIS CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, I DON'T ABUSE IT, AND IT ONLY HAS 51000 MILES ON IT BUT FORD WANTS TO CHARGE ME $700 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF MY SPEEDOMETER...WHICH I BELIEVE THIS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM NOT A PART PROBLEM. THANKS, DENNIS STILL. *AK
