Ford focuses on speedo problem

16 Apr 08 14:02

BBC consumer champion Watchdog is reporting that it has received dozens of complaints from owners of the Mk1 Ford Focus.

These complains claim that the speedo on the Focus freezes intermittently. Models manufactured in 2003 - some 130,000 cars - may be affected, reports the TV programme.

Ford has responded by saying it has heard from 120 drivers with similar faults and says it is working on a permanent repair. Dealers have charged drivers with faulty dashboards between £350-£550 to replace the unit.

Watchdog is urging viewers to contact the manufacturer if they have suffered faulty dashes.
