1995 Mercury Sable complaints

SEVERELY MELTED WIRING CONNECTORS AT RELAY AND IN FUEL TANK AT TOP OF SENDER/FUEL PUMP!!!!

WHEN SPEEDOMETER GETS UP TO 45 MPH NEEDLE FLOPS TO 50/60/ 70, AND GOES UP AND DOWN. DRIVER CAN'T TELL HOW FAST SHE IS GOING.*AK

THE COOLING FAN CAUSED A FIRE. *SLC

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL 98V323000 CONCERNING SUBFRAME CORROSION THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED TWO YEARS AGO, AND CONSUMER COMPLAINED THAT IT TOOK TWO YEARS TO GET LETTER.*AK *SLC

CONSUMER STATED THAT NIGHT THAT VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IT WAS LEFT AT DEALER TO GET TIRES REPLACED. BUT, NEXT DAY WHEN VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE PICKED UP CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT VEHICLE WAS SHIPPED TO SOUTH CAROLINA. WHEN VEHICLE WAS RETURNED CONSUMER TURNED VEHICLE ON, AND HEATER MALFUNCTIONED. AFTER THAT CAR JUST TURNED OFF.*AK

SPEEDOMETER FAILED AT 67500, NEEDLE FLUCTUATES WILDLY AND UNUSABLE AS AN INDICATOR. RESEARCH OF YOUR DATABASE INDICATES UNUSALLY LARGE NUMBER OF IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS. FORD ISSUED AN ADVISORY TO DEALERS (ARTICLE 97-12-5) ON 6/9/97 REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER. REQUEST NHTSA INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION AND SEEK A RECALL DUE TO THE DEFECT OF THE SAME ITEM AFFECTING A LARGE GROUP OF VEHICLES RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY. YOUR DATABASE INDICATES THAT THE MAJORITY OF OWNERS HAVE HAD MULTIPLE SPEEDOMETER FAILURES AND FORD IS UNWILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSTALLING WHAT MAY BE INFERIOR COMPONENTS AND THEREBY CREATING ADDITIONAL UNREASONABLE SAFETY RISKS. THERE APPEARS TO BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AFFECTING A LARGE NUMBER OF SABLE/TAURUS VEHICLES AND FORD IS AWARE OF IT. PERHAPS FORD MAY BE RECEPTIVE TO ENTERTAIN A REQUEST FOR A RECALL BEFORE THIS DEFECT THE BECOMES MAGNITUDE OF AN EXPLORER ROLL-OVER TYPE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP!*AK

CONSUMER SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T GIVE CORRECT READING. READING INDICATES VEHICLE IS GOING MUCH FASTER. DEALER'S SAFETY INSPECTION OF VEHICLE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. AFTER WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS DONE WIRING HARNESS WAS MOVED TOO CLOSE TO EXHAUST SYSTEM. VEHICLE ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE & STARTEDD SMOKING SEVERELY. WIRES ON EXHAUST WALL MELTED. DEALER SAID WIRES WERE MOVED BACKED TO WHERE THEY BELONGED & IT WOULD BE FINE.*AK

THIS DEFECT CAUSED NO PARKING LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, SIDE MARKERS OR DASH LIGHTS. DEALER SAID THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON! ONE BECOMES A SITTING DUCK IN THE DARK WITH NO LIGHTS IN THE SIDES OR REAR OF VEHICLE. PLEASE MAKE FORD RECALL AND CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT.*AK

PREVIOUSLY REPORTED FAILURE OF TIMING CHAIN FRONT COVER GASKET IN 3/2000. WE PAID TO REPLACE FAILED GASKET AT FORD DEALER, FORD REFUSED TO GIVE ANY RELIEF. NOW 7 MONTHS LATER ENTIRE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED - SHOP INDICATED FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY LEAKAGE FROM TIMING CHAIN FRONT COVER GASKET, CAUSING CRANKCASE BEARING FAILURE. IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD - IT WAS WELL KNOWN TO SHOP. FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND PAY FOR REPAIRS.*AK

INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WOULD STALL UNEXPECTEDLY WHICH MAY CAUSE A CRASH. NEVER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

VEHICLE WILL STALL WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, AND ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WILL COME ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN ENGINE IS HOT.ONCE ENGINE COOLS DOWN VEHICLE WILL RESTART. *AK THE VEHICLE STALL SEVEN TIMES WHILE TRAVELING. *YH

THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 9 TIMES WITH SAME PROBLEM AND IS NOW PARKED, WILL NOT RUN.*AK

APPEARS TO BE OVERFLOW OF TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM DIPSTICK. *AK

SPEEDOMETER STARTED SWINGING WILDLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35 MPH. REPLACED AT 30000 MILES. PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN WITH REPLACED PART AND PERSISTS.

EVERY TIME THE DOORS CLOSE OR DOME LIGHT IS SWITCHED OFF THE DOORS LOCK, DOORS LOCK WHEN VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND NOBODY IN THE VEHICLE

TRANSMISSION WILL DISENGAGE LEAVING NO PROPULSION (FWD OR REVERSE). SIMILAR TO MANY OTHER TSB'S I'VE SEEN, WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY RESULT IN SERIOUS INCIDENTS. FORD CLEARLY KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND MY 12/99 LETTER TO THEM WAS NOT ANSWERED. THIS IS AS SERIOUS A DEFECT AS ONE CAN HAVE, AND WHEN IT OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY IT IS SCARY.

VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED. *AK

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES WILL NOT GO OFF AND AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY

ENGINE DEVELOPED A SEVERE NOISE. OIL WAS CHANGED ON REGULAR BASIS AT GARAGE. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR SERVICE. TRANSMISSION FAILED ON THE WAY TO WORK. *AK

I HAD BEEN NOTICING A STRANGE BURNING SMELL IN THE CAR FOR SOME TIME - BUT COULDN'T PLACE ITS SOURCE. I FOUND THE SMELL GETTING STRONGER OVER TIME, AND STRONGER WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. THEN I NOTICED THAT THE DASH AREA SURROUNDING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WAS WARM TO THE TOUCH. I PULLED OFF THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH KNOB, AND THE SWITCH SHAFT WAS BURNING - TOO HOT TO TOUCH. I OBTAINED A NEW HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND PROCEEDED TO DISSAEMBLE THE DASH. I FOUND THE BACK END (PLASTIC CONNECTOR RECEPTABLE BODY) OF THE SWITCH TOTALLY MELTED, AND SOME OF THE WIRES HAD THEIR INSULATION MELTED CLEAR OFF, DOWN TO BARE COPPER. LUCKILY NONE OF THE WIRES WERE TOUCHING IN THE BARE AREAS. THE MALE END OF THE HARNESS (THAT PLUGS INTO THE SWITCH) WAS MELTED INTO THE SWITCH BODY. I HAD TO BUY A NEW REPLACEMENT CONNECTOR, SPLICE IT IN AND MAKE UP SOME NEW WIRES, AND THEN INSTALL THE NEW SWITCH. THE AUTO PARTS STORES SAY THAT ALTHOUGH FORD DOESN'T HAVE THE CONNECTOR + PIGTAIL ASSEMBLY AVAILABLE AS A DEALER ITEM, IT IS AN AFTERMARKET ITEM SINCE "THEY BURN UP SO OFTEN." HAD I NOT INTERVENED WHEN I DID, I COULD HAVE HAD A SEVERE IN-DASH FIRE, PLUS LOST MY LIGHTS AT NIGHT. MY LIGHTS NEVER STOPPED WORKING, ALTHOUGH THE BURNING SMELL WAS EVIDENT. MERCURY CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE ADVISED NO PRIOR REPORTS OF THIS TYPE.*AK

MY FIRST SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STARTED SWING BETWEEN 45 AND 85 AT CONSTANT REAL SPEED, WHENEVER I DROVE AROUND 60 MPH REAL SPEED. AT THAT TIME MY CAR HAD 29,000 MILES IN AUG 1997. I CHANGED MY SPEEDOMETER FROM FORD DEALER UNDER FORD WARRANTY. I HAD EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEMS AT 46,000 MILES IN NOV 1998 WITH MY SECOND SPEEDOMETER. I CHANGED SPEEDOMETER AGAIN FROM FORD DEALER. I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AT 61,000 MILES IN JUN 2000 WITH MY THIRD SPEEDOMETER. I THINK 95 SABLE HAS SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETER. IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS, SINCE I CANNOT FIGURE OUT MY SPEED, IF I RUN FASTER THAN 50 MILES. I'M HAVING EXACTLY THE SAME SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS APPROX EVERY ONE AND HALF YEARS (ABOUT 16,000 MILES) AFTER THE FIRST SPEEDOMETER. FORD DEALER ASKED $ 600 TO INSTALL ANOTHER NEW SPEEDOMETER, SINCE THE PART WARRANTY IS ONE YEAR. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DRIVE WITHOUT KNOWING MY SPEED ON HIGHWAYS. THEN I HAVE TO SPEND $600 EVERY ONE AND HALF YEARS TO MAINTAIN SPEEDOMETER. I THINK FORD SHOULD DO SOMETHING FOR MY SPEEDOMETER, SINCE SPEEDOMETER IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT INSTRUMENT ON HIGHWAYS. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

SPEEDOMETER IS INACCURATE WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE BOUNCES AT HIGH SPEEDS 45 OR HIGHER. WILL GO UP TO 85 AND BACK DOWN TO 45. AT LOWER SPEEDS READING IS NOT ACCURATE. YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF YOUR ACTUAL SPEED. SPEEDO HEAD WAS REPLACED 07/98 AT 49,760 MILES SPEEDOMETER FAILED AGAIN 06/2000 AT 70,165 FIRST REPLACMENT AT MY EXPENSE WAS $382.88. SECOND REPLACEMENT IS $600 AGAIN AT MY EXPENSE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY DID NOT WARRENTY EITHER REPAIR. THIS IS A REAL SAFTEY HAZARD IN NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED YOU ARE TRAVELING IN SCHOOL ZONES, WORK ZONES ETC.. PROBLEMS OCCUR WITH OR WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED.

I HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH TWICE SINCE I OWNED THE CAR (2 YEARS). THE SWITCH OVERHEATS AND ACTUALLY BURNS/CHARS THE METAL CONTACTS AND MELTS THE PLUG. IT GETS VERY HOT TO TOUCH AND THE HEADLIGHT AND/OR PARKING LIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF AND TURN ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE TAURUS/SABLE AND THEY HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. IT COST ME $125 EACH TIME TO REPLACE IT (PARTS AND LABOR), BUT I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE POSSIBLE FIRE THAT COULD OCCUR. *AK

DRIVERS SIDE WIDOW POPS OUT WHILE CLOSING THE DOOR. ALSO THE DEALER INSTALLED A SPEEDOMETER TWO YEARS AGO IN MAY OF 1998 FOR $400.00 COST TO US WHICH WAS'NT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFTY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO US. THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED AGAIN IN DECEMBER OF 1999. NOW THE DEALER IS ASKING FOR ANOTHER $500.00 (PRE-PAID) TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I FIND THIS TO BE EXCESSIVE. WHAT CAN WE DO NOW? *AK

WHEN VEHICLE REACHES 45MPH SPEEDOMETER OSCILATES. DRIVER IS NOT ABLE TO TELL HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS GOING. THE DEALER, NORTH GATE LINCOLN IN TAMPA, FL, REFUSES TO REPAIR VEHICLE. *AK

SPEEDOMETER DEFECTIVE, TWO TIMES IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. *AK

WIRE TO STARTED CORRODED, DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THERE IS A REPAIR KIT

RECAL 98V323 000/SUBFRAME CORROSION: SUBFRAME DETACHED FROM BODY MOUNT, CAUSES LOSS OF STEERING. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL VEHICLE LOST POWER. IT FELT LIKE CARRYING A LOAD. DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT IT WAS THE ENGINE HEAD GASKET. *AK

THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPS ERRACTICALLY WHENEVER THE SPEED EXCEEDS 40MPH OR A BUMP IS ENCOUNTERED ON THE ROAD. BASED ON THE DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT THIS FAILURE CAUSES I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN INSTITUTED TO ADDRESS THIS VERY SERIOUS DEFECT. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGISTERED ON THIS SITE ALONE IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD/MERCURY PEOPLE TO NO AVAIL, I TRUST THAT THIS AGENCY CAN RECTIFY THIS MATTER BEFORE THE SPEEDOMETER FAILURES RESULT IN UNNECESSARY INJURIES OR DEATHS. *AK

I BOUGHT MY 1995 SABLE IN JULY 97 WITH 30,000 MILES AND A FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY. AT 31,667 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER DIAL WOULD BUZZ AND THE NEEDLE SWING BACK AND FORTH, NOT READING PROPER SPEED. I CONTACTED A FORD DEALER, COLUMBIA FORD IN COLUMBIA, CT AND THEY REPLACED THE SPEEDOMETER HEAD IN DASH, STATING THAT FORD KNOWS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER HEADS LAST ABOUT 30,000 MILES THEN THEY DEFECT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT FORD SENT OUT A TSB ON THE SPEEDO HEADS AND THAT NHTSA ALSO HAD REPORTS ON THE DEFECT. NOW AT 64,000 MILES THE SPEEDO HEAD AGAIN DEFECTED, BUZZING AND READING IMPROPER SPEED, VERY FRIGHTNING. I CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THE ISSUE AND AFTER A WEEK OF TRYING TO GET THEM ON THE PHONE I FINALLY DID. THE SERVICE REP AT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE I TALKED TO, DORTHIA AT EXTENSION 2703, SAID IN SO MANY WORDS THAT I AM UP THE CREEK. I THEN ASKED TO TALK TO HER SUPERVISOR, NICHOL KINGS, SHE WOULD NOT LET ME, PUT ME ON HOLD, THEN CAME BACK AND NOW AFTER I TRIED TO RESOLVE THE MATTER SHE SAID IN A FIRM VOICE, "THE MATTER IS NOW CLOSED". FORD FLAT OUT REFUSED TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, KNOWING WELL THAT THE DEFECT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THS COST OF REPLACING THE SPEEDO HEAD IS ABOUT $500. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE SPEEDO EVERY 30,000 MILES, AND IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY WIFE USES THE CAR ALSO. I BELIEVE IT IS VERY PATHETIC THAT A CONSUMER HAS TO BE SHAFTED LIKE THIS BUYING A CAR IN GOOD FAITH, THEN BEING TOLD TOO BAD FOR YOU. FORD KNEW ABOUT THIS SAFETY DEFECT ALL ALON

THE SPEEDOMETER UNIT REQUIRED TWO REPLACEMENTS, HOWEVER STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, FLUCTUATES OVER 55 MPH. *MJS

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT PROBLEMS OCCUR WITH THIS PLATE NUT. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT BAD WITH ONLY 39,000 MILES ON MY CAR! *AK

DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS PART WOULD GO WITH ONLY 39,130 MILES ON IT. COULD THE SUBFRAME REAR PLATE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS MATTER???? . *AK

CONSTANT NOISE IN REAR WHEELS. *AK

I REALIZE THAT FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE HEAD GASKET. I ALSO BELIEVE THEY SHOULD EXTEND THEIR WARRANTY TO COVER THE TIMING COVER GASKET AS WELL. I CALLED A NUMBER OF DEALERS. THE OVERALL IMPRESSION I GOT WAS THAT THEY ARE SEEING MORE AND MORE 3.8 LITER ENGINES WITH LEAKING TIMING COVER GASKETS. WHICH COMES FIRST? THE BLOWN HEAD GASKET OR THE FAILED TIMING COVER GASKET. ALSO THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMS TO LAST 12000-15000 MILES. IT TOOK THE DEALER 6 MONTHS TO GET THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE LAST ONE THAT WENT BAD. *AK

SINCE I HAVE PURCAHSED THE CAR (IT WAS THE SHOWCASE CAR) EVERY SUMMER AS THE WEATHER GETS HOT THE CAR WITHOUT ANY WARNING WILL CUT OFF. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND ON SEVERAL OCASSIONS (TWO OF WHICH THEY KEEP THE CAR FOR A WEEK) THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM SO, THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP ME AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I DON'T KNOW IF IT"S RELATED TO THE AIR CONDITION OR THIS GASKET PROBLEM THAT I JUST BECAME AWARE OF FROM ANOTHER CAR DEALER. ALL I KNOW IS THEAT THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN THE OUTSIDE ENVIRONMENT IS FAIRLY WARM . IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND LUCILY I AM A CITY DRIVER AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT OR BEEN KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE CAR IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED. OTHERWISE I HAVE TO GET RID OF IT. ALL I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS THAT IT CAN"T BE FIXED UNLESS IT CAN BE DUPLICATED AT THE SHOP AND TO COME BACK NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS, BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS ONCE THE CAR STOPS IT MAY START RIGHT UP AGAIN IN 10 MINS. OR ONE HOUR.NR

PLASTIC SPEEDOMETER GEAR BROKE. NLM

TEMPERATURE GOES UP AND ENGINE CHECK LIGHT COMES ON. CONSUMER IT NOT ABLE TO DRIVE CAR. CONSUMER FEELS CAR MAY BURN UP. *AK

TIMING CHAIN FRONT COVER GASKET AND TRANSMISSION PAN SIDE COVER GASKET HAVE BOTH FAILED PREMATURELY. *ET

WHEN VEHICLE REACHES 45 MPH OR ABOVE SPEEDOMETER STARTS TO FLUCTUATE, BOUNCING BACK AND FORWARD, NOT READING THE CORRECT MILEAGE. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY. *AK *ML

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

SPEEDOMETER REPLACED @ 68,000 MILES, FAILED AGAIN @ 82,220. AT 30 MPH SPEEDO JUMPS TO 85 MPH, FORD CLAIMS THEY DO NOT HAVE A SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM, BUT YOUR COMPLAINT DATA BASE SHOWS OTHERWISE. FORD REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS UNLESS I INCUR THE TOTAL EXPENSE AROUND $500. - THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU HAVE NO WAY TO GAUGE YOUR SPEED. I ALSO HAVE A 92 TAURUS WITH THE SAME SPEEDOMETER HEAD, AND THAT ONE HAS FAILED TWICE TOO.

FAULTY CYLINDER HEAD GASKET RESULTED IN OVERHEATING AND DAMAGE TO OTHER ENDINE COMPONENTS (WATER PUMP, RADIATOR). *MJS

CYLINDER HEAD GASKET LEAKS DUE TO FAULTY MACHINING OF CYLINDER HEAD. RESULTS IN OVERHEATING, ENGINE FAILURE OR FIRE. I HAD THE WATER PUMP AND RADIATOR REPLACED BEFORE A GOODYEAR TIRE CENTER IN CINCINNATI KNEW EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THE OVERHEATING CONDITION. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRING 3.8L FORD TAURUS AND SABLE OVERHEAT CONDITIONS FOR 1994/95 MODELS. THEY FIX AT LEAST ONE A WEEK AND HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR AWHILE. THEY STATE THAT THE CYLINDER HEADS ARE NOT PROPERLY MACHINED WHICH CAUSES THE HEAD GASKET FAILURE. MY TOTAL BILL WAS $1,178.41. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT GOODYEAR TIRE CENTER, 6289 GLENWAY AVE., CINCINNATI, OH 45211, (513) 661-1510. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DIRECT RECALL DUE TO THE NUMBER OF FAULTY MACHINED CYLINDER HEADS. THANK-YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. *AK

APRIL '96 SPEEDOMETER FAILED, WARRANTY REPLACED. JAN'00 FAILED AGAIN ON 5 YR OLD CAR W/42,000 MILES. CONTACTED DEALER/DETROIT MANY TIMES. DEALER HAS TO KEEP CAR 2 DAYS WILL NOT PROVIDE LOANER. CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. NEEDLE FLUCTUATES, DO NOT KNOW SPEED I AM DRIVING. A CAR WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE & ONLY 5 YRS OLD SHOULD NOT NEED 3 SPEEDOMETERS. *AK

SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATES WILDLY UPON ACCELERATION AND WHILE CRUISING. *AK

CONSUMERS SPEEDOMETER HEAD FAILED AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARREANTY, FAILED AGAIN AND DEALER REFUSE TO REPLACE BECAUSE SPEEDOMETER HEAD WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. NLM

SPEEDOMETER JUMPS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FIRST OCCURRED IN 1998 AT 20,000 MILES. PART WAS REPLACED, PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED AT 30,000 MILES AND DEALER STATES THAT COSTUMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FULL COST OF REPAIR. *AK
