NHTSA Complaint #10192699 — 2007 FORD FREESTYLE

2006 FORD FREESTYLE - WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO ELETRICAL PROBLEM. THE ISSUE: THE INSTRUMENTATION CLUSTER ON THE DASHBOARD IS NOT READABLE AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAY. THE INSTRUMENTS ARE SET BACK INTO THE DASH, THEY HAVE BLACK DIALS AND ARE NON-ILLUMINATED DURING THE DAY. WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH ACTUAL LIGHT ENTERS THE CAR TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER AND GUAGES; YOU CANNOT SEE THE GUAGES AT ALL IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. OF COURSE AT NIGHT THERE IS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ARE ILLUMINATED. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT; THE SPEED OR OTHER CONDITIONS NOT BEING CLEARLY VISIBLE COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN INCIDENT.
