“Too many times to count 25 30 even more. When driving my 2005 Mercury Montego the complete dash cluster lost all functions and read outs, always at speeds above 30mph. A few times 9 or so the car would buck a few times. I had the harness connector checked and no problems found. This condition prevents me from using the vehicle as needed, to driver a few times a year from connecticut to north carolina and back to visit ailing family members. No other reasonable transportation available. We will pro ally never buy a ford product again due to safety concerns. …”
