Description of the problem | This is a huge issue that needs to be resolved a. S. A. P. I have seen and talked to many owners with this dangerous issue i have no clue how fast i am going the instrumental cluster tells me 30 mph but im flying by cars on the freeway , but its not just the mph, the hole cluster is erratic the needles are pointed left past the red zone some are pointed all the way right and some aren't even working . Ford is going to have a law suit in its hands very soon if this is not resolved with a recall for all 2005 mustangs. I went to the dealer and they said that the problem was the instrumental cluster. And that it was not covered by warranty he said it would be around $600. 00 . I told him that there was no way i was going to pay 600. 00 dollars for something that was done by ford and not me. I guess the only way they will take this issue seriously is if someone get hurt or killed. Its sad but true. |
