Consumer Description

FORD HAS RECEIVED THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING FAULTY SPEEDOMETERS IN ESCORTS, WINDSTARS, TAURUSES, AND THUNDERBIRDS FOR THE 1994-1996 MODEL YEARS. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITION, ESPECIALLY FOR OLDER DRIVERS WHO HAVE POOR DEPTH PERCEPTION AND WHO RELY HEAVILY ON THEIR SPEEDOMETERS TO JUDGE THEIR SPEED IN TRAFFIC. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND I AM DISTURBED BY FORD'S SEEMINGLY UNSYMPATHETIC ATTITUDE TOWARD THIS PROBLEM.*AK
