First the speedometer stopped working or would hang up, then the fuel gauge stopped working and now all the gauges have stopped working.

I got in my car an started the engine. I then noticed my fuel gauge and speedometer were not working at all. I have always taken care of my Mustang an I think Ford should recall the cluster. There's been plenty of 2005 models with very same issue. Please recall the gauge cluster it's the right thing to do for a big name company like Ford.

Speedometer and RPM would jump around then it just stopped working then my temp gauge went all the way past H and its stuck there.

My speedometer was reading a lower speed than I was actually driving. It was confirmed with a speed radar sign. My speedometer gauge was off by 15 mph. I checked online and noticed there were many other owners with the same defect. I contacted Ford regarding the issue and they told me there wasn't any recall for my car. I did some more research and found out the steppers in the cluster gauge have been known to go bad.

The gauges on the 2005 Mustang are faulty. It affects all gauges but the speedometer being the most important. The speedometer may read higher or lower than the actual speed you're going. This makes it a definite safety issue if your car is going faster than you think it is. This should be a recall!!!

Recently purchased 2005 Ford Mustang and was told upon sale that there was a problem with the fuel gauge. I figured it would be easy enough to fix so wasn't really concerned. Now a week later I noticed the speedometer doesn't work as well. It sticks on 15 mph for periods of time or then will show at least 15 - 30 mph faster than I am actually going. I searched online for a fix and found thousands of threads of individuals with the exact same issue and even copies of letters sent to owner stating that there wasn't a recall because it's not a safety concern. I bought this car for my daughter. Running out of gas late at night because her fuel gauge is broken is a safety issue. Sure can she write down mileage every time she gets gas, yes. But after reading so many comments by so many people it seems as if this issue should be resolved by Ford. Seems to be isolated on the 2005 only. In addition not know your speed limit is also a safety concern and also a financial concern should you get pulled over having no idea how fast you are driving. Its seems as if the entire cluster of gauges are faulty and need to be addressed. Your response or help in getting Ford to rectify is greatly appreciated.

Speedometer not working correctly. Go anywhere from 20 to 80 mph over traveled speed. Even when sitting it sticks at 20-80 mph.

I was told that these items, the fuel gauge, tachometer parts of the instrument cluster are faulty in most 2005 Mustangs. There have been so many problems that Ford changed it for 2006 models. I was further informed that if enough owners complained that a recall would be activated. Hopefully I'll be hearing from you and or Ford Motor Company. Thank you.

I was driving home. The road was wet. Because of this, I relied on my speedometer to make sure I am going a bit slower than my speed limit. I did not noticed until I had to hit my brakes to avoid a stray dog. My car skidded; I was going faster than what the gauge was saying (which is lower than actual speed) since I had to stop abruptly, another car rear-ended me. Ever since then, the gauge is all over the place, below 0 above one hundred...this could have cost another life, if not mine.

Was driving the car and the gas gauge started acting weird. Stopped and filled up the car and after starting the car the gauge went all the way past 'E'. shortly after that the speedometer started sticking. I could be at a stop light and it would show I was going 20 mph. Usually turning the car off and back on would get the speedometer to go down. The higher the speed said the more you had to turn it off and on since it only went down a little at a time. Now the gauge is stuck at 80 mph and doesn't move at all. The tachometer is also messing up now. It will vary from being too low to being too high to being just right.

Gas gauge erratic. Then failed last August. Ford says must replace entire cluster at cost of $450-650 plus labor this seems to be a common problem on this model. Only 45000 miles on this car. Cost seems excessive. What is Ford doing to back this up? updated 06/10/13

The instrument cluster on my 2005 Ford Mustang has a shortage or is defective. Based on internet research and a discussion with an authorized Ford dealership and my long time auto mechanic, this is a part that should not fail at 73,000 miles. While Ford has not issued a recall, there is an obvious manufacture defect, as there have been numerous complaints and issues reported. When a gauge (fuel, temperature, battery, etc) fails on this vehicle, the entire instrument cluster must be replaced. This is a costly part and service fee (over $900) for something that should not be defective or have issues with a car of this age. When the instrument cluster signals an issue to the internal computer, the vehicle may go into a "fail safe mode" and the car will not operate. Ford needs to issue a recall for this part and replace it at no cost to the owner.

My speedometer does not work so I do not know how fast I am going. This is a problem with many 2005 Ford Mustangs. There should be a recall on the instrument cluster to fix this problem.

The speedometer constantly malfunctions, which makes it impossible to know what speed you are traveling. The speedometer will either stick at zero or be 10 to 15 mph off. This is common problem based on personal experience with many other 2005 Mustang V6 drivers. The problem requires the entire instrument panel to be replaced (~$500-800), and Ford continues to give us all the run-around. A simple search online also returns numerous postings about this problem. Not knowing the speed in which you are traveling is a very unsafe driving condition. Please look into this matter promptly and issue a recall. Thanks for your help on this matter.
