| While driving down the road i noticed the speedometer falling to 0 and back up to 70 mph and the odometer stopped working. i called the local ford dealership to inquire aboout a defect and they told me i would have to pay for it to be fixed. i checked other mechanics who told me it was very common for this to happen. if it is so common then why has there not been a recall on their defective equipment. | |||
