Speedometer does not accurately read vehicle speed. At times, speedometer will read in excess of 85 mph when vehicle is actually going much less than that. Dealer has admitted that many speedometers on vehicles of this year and model have the same problem. I have replaced mine twice (once under warranty and once out of pocket). The cost exceeds $350 for replacement. Inaccurate speed indication is a threat to public safety and Ford should address this issue.
