Consumer Description

MY 2005 FORD FREESTYLE WITH 58,000 MILES SUDDENLY LOOSES ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATIONS AND THE ENGINE THEN DIES. RESTART IS POSSIBLE AND INSTRUMENTS THEN RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR BUT HAS HAPPENED AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS A COMMON FREESTYLE PROBLEM AND THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $700.00. WHY HAS THIS OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT BEEN SUBJECT TO A RECALL? *TR
