Unlikely to be the VSS in this case I would think.
First thing to check would be all earth points in the dashboard area. Remove them, clean and replace.
Even if this is not the solution, it will save time (and therefore money) to eliminate this if you eventually need to pay for help.
Let the group know how you get on.

This is a fairly common problem with Focus. I had mine replace by Ford under warranty, some chip behind the dash required replacing. Do a search of this group in google and you will see a few others have had this problem.

Had it not been under warranty, I wonder out of curiosity how much Ford would have charged you for the replacement of a complete dash panel, for the sake of an IC which probably cost nowhere near a fiver to produce?

You have a loose, or dirty, connection to the instrument pod, WBMG

If the pod does indeed needs to be replaced, try a salvage yard. Probably only a $5 item

Resolution - Connections to instrument cluster were checked and were OK. Took car to local garageman who isolated problem to instrument cluster. Exchange price for new cluster: [$318] + 1.5 hours labor to diagnose & replace cluster solved problem.
