I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE EVERYONE ELSE IS WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETER, TACH, FUEL GAGE. IT WAS WORKING FINE, THE WEATHER WARMED UP AND IT WOULD WORK SOMETIMES. THEN IT JUST STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE I HAVE NO WAY OF TELLING HOW FAST I'M GOING. I COULD UNDERSTAND THIS HAPPENING IF I HAD 100,000 MILES ON IT, BUT AS OF YESTERDAY, 4/26/2021 IT JUST HIT 39,034. WITH EVERYONE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE, HOW IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL. I HAD TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT COST OF $875. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND A DANGEROUS ONE.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF WORK ONTO A BUSY STREET WHEN CAR WENT INTO IDLE MODE BECAUSE OF THE THROTTLE BODY DRIVE BY WIRE SYSTEM.THERE WAS NO INDICATION ANYTHING WAS WRONG OR ABOUT TO GO WRONG. GOD WAS REALLY LOOKING OUT FOR ME ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY BECAUSE THE CARS THAT WERE ON THIS BUSY ROAD WASN'T IN A HURRY LIKE THEY NORMALLY ARE AND I AVOIDED A (T-BONE)COLLISION. IT REALLY SCARED ME AND I HAVEN'T DROVE THE CAR ANYMORE AND IT'S FOR SALE. I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE REPORTED AND I WILL TELL WHOEVER BUYS THE CAR WHAT HAPPENED UPFRONT. I'M NOT WILLING TO RISK IT DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I SWITCHED THE KEY OFF AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND DROVE IT 40 MILES HOME WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS AND IT WILL NEVER BE DRIVEN BY ME AGAIN.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING SINCE LAST AUGUST TO GET THE RECALL DONE ON BOTH MY FRONT AIRBAGS.FIRST THE DEALER(CHARLES GABUS FORD IN DESMOINES IOWA)PROMISED ME A LOANER CAR FOR THE DAY MY CAR WOULD BE IN THE SHOP,ONLY TO TRAVEL THERE 40 MILES AND THEN THEY SAY THEY HAD NONE AVAILABLE.THEN I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CO. RECALL DEPARTMENT JUST TO TRY TO GET MY NAME OFF OF THEIR RECALL MAILING LIST DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T REALLY TAKE THIS RECALL SERIOUSLY.AFTER REQUESTING TO TALK TO A SUPERVISOR BECAUSE I WAS GETTING NOWHERE WITH THIS WOMAN ,SHE SIMPLY HUNG UP ON ME.
