The instrument panel in my 05 Mustang has completely failed. In 2008, the gauges would become erratic at times. (tach, speedometer, etc) this has become more problematic over the last couple of years usually only occuring in colder weather. At this point, the gauges have completely failed. Case in point: during the summer of 2011 the car "actually" overheated due to a cracked thermostat housing and the gauge never displayed the issue before the failure. We were fortunate to have picked up on the issue (while driving the car at highway speed) before a fire or other unfortunate event occured. . . . Or before the car was permanently damaged. When I've consulted with the local Ford dealer ship, (cookeville, TN) they act as if this the instrument panel failure is something new. This issue is posted on every major Mustang forum or support site. Heck, there are even businesses on the "web" that advertise their ability to replace the "stepper motors" that control the gauge functions. Apparently the stepper motors that Ford opted to use in their instrument panels are the cause of the issue. Furthermore I receive customer complaint updates via the carfax web portal monthly. Each update contains dozens of new reports with this problem. So. . . . . The excuse that Ford doesn't know anything about this issue. . . . . Doesn't hold water. If Ford wants to offshore its components to 3rd world countries for cheaper labor and parts. . . . . Fine. The least they could do is stand behind their products when / if they fail. After all, they should have extra $$$ in the coffers from the savings of offshoring their components. Any help you fellas could provide in pressuring Ford to step up and take care of their problem would be greatly appreciated.
