Consumer Description

REQUEST TO RE-OPEN NHTSA DEFECT INVESTIGATION #PE07058. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL STOPPED WORKING WHILE STARTING, STOPING OR DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AND ON HIGHWAY. ALSO WHEN IT HAPPENS, NO TURN SIGNAL ALARM, NO AIR CONDITIONER, AND CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL NOT WORKING. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CHECK OUTSIDE LIGHTS. IT HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME, COMES AND GOES, LASTS ABOUT 2-10 SECONDS. A FEW OCCASOINS, IT TRIGGED AIR BAG, COOLENT WARNING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TO COME ON. CHECK ENGIEN LIGHT STAYED FOR A FEW DAYS. I THINK IT IS A DESIGN OR PRODUCTION DEFECT SINCE FORD KNEW IT BACK IN 2006 ACCORDING TO ITS TSB. I THINK IT'S DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHSPEED, AT NIGHT AND IN BAD WEATHER, YOU LOSE THE INFO OF SPEED AND AIR CONDITIONER AND DON'T KNOW IF TURN SIGNAL LIGHT IS ON.
