Speedodometer does not register correct speed when vehicle is driven beyond 40 mph. Speedodomter becomes erratic. The consumer had transmission repaired, radiator and motor mounts replaced.

The speedometer on my Taurus jumps aroun once I hit about 50 mph. This is a safety hazard because I have no way of knowing how fast I am travelling down the freeway. Ford should fix this problem without cost to the owner of the vehicle because the speedometer has a defective part which has failed for many more people than I. I found numerous complaints of this problem while searching the internet.

Odometer is not reading speed correctly. At the begining of the problem it would only occur at around 60-70mph, but currently it happens at any speed.

Faulty speedometer head caused speedometer to produce a rattling sound and the needle would bounce and jump making it difficult to determine the speed while driving, two years passed and the problem reoccured but the consumer would have to repair at own expense. Nlm

Speedometer will act erractic when going over 40 mph. Needle will make scratching noise and jump all over, consumer cannot determine speed.

- Highland Park, NJ, USA

While driving speedometer will start flopping up numbers off right side and then back down to fifty again when hitting rough spots. Consumer feels this is distracting because he doesn't know how fast he is going sometimes.

The hand on the odometer does not work properly, consumer feels the dealer should replace this part because it is a safety defect.

Speedometer has been repaired twice. Same problem keeps reoccurring. Needle goes back & forth, and consumer can't tell how they're going. Both times it has been replaced, but no remedy has been found.

The original speedometer began to fluctuate wildly at high speeds and was replaced, with about 21000 miles on the replacement speedometer it began to fail again. Nlm

The speedometer randomly makes noises during which time the needle approaches 90 mph regardless of the travelling speed. I believe this is due a short-circuit inside the dashboard. I also believe this is a fire hazard. Most importantly, I believe that this condition is due to a manufacturing defect which has been overlooked either due to negligence or due to poor quality control.

- North Potomac, MD, USA

Speedometer has failed twice. Replaced at 35,000 miles under warranty. Second failure not honored by dealer. At speeds above 40-45 speedometer needle swings wildly making it impossible to judge speed accurately. This problem seems to be a common thread with 1995 Taurus owners. Perhaps we have a recall situation here!

Speedometer jumps, . needle bounces between 0 and 85. This usually starts around 50 mph. I also don't feel it is accurate at other speeds. This is already a tsb NHTSA item #SB051008 and #SB051230. I have talked with (3) other 1995 Taurus owners, and they have the same problem. I took it to a local Ford dealer, they told me it was not the sensor, or the cable but a gear in the speedo, I that I would have to purchase a new speedo for $700. I feel that this is known safety defect. I have a new 16 year old driver that cannot judge his speed. This a defect and not a maintainance item. Please respond as to how I can get this fixed at no cost.
