    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. *tr

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…

I did some more research and found out the steppers in the cluster gauge have been known to go…
