My cluster panel went dead and there was a recall for it but the first owner got it fixed and ford wouldn’t do it for me. I couldn’t afford to get it fixed and so it stayed dead. My car eventually broke down on me while driving because I was unable to read the transmission fault warning (because the cluster panel doesn’t work). I just had to buy a whole new transmission and ford is still refusing to fix their failed recall. Had it been taken care of, I would have seen the warning and not drove my car until it broke down.

Whenever driving my car, it noticably takes longer than it should to shift causing my rpms to run higher than expected. For instance doing 35 I might be running at 2500-3000 rpms for about 15 to 20 seconds before shifting and causing my rpms to go down to around 1500.
