problem #3

F-150 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 86,000 miles
The digital odometer blanks out, or scrambles its display. The dealers service advisor says the soldered connections are "bad". the entire instrument cluster must be replaced. @ cost $600. Further inquiries find that hundreds of other F-150 owners have the same defect. Very distracting in traffic when it blanks out!
