Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WOULD BEHAVE ERRATICALLY AND THEN COMPLETELY STOP WORKING FOR 10-30 SECONDS, AFTER THIS THE WRENCH AND SEAT BELT LIGHT STAY ON. THEN THEY RESET AND ALL GAUGES WORK NORMALLY AND THEN THIS REOCCURS. DURING THESE OCCURRENCES THE ENGINE WOULD ACT SLUGGISHLY AND THERE WOULD BE SLOWER ACCELERATION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3+ MONTHS AND TODAY THE GAUGES HAVE ALL STOPPED WORKING, THE SAME 2 ICONS ARE LITE AND NOW THE REVERSE LIGHTS STAY ON WHETHER THE CAR IS IN PARK, DRIVE, NEUTRAL OR REVERSE. THE TURN SIGNALS, LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALL WORK BUT DO NOT DISPLAY ON THE DASH. SEEN THE TSB'S FROM FORD, THE INVESTIGATION DONE BY NHTSA PE07058, THIS NEEDS TO BE RE-OPENED AND A RECALL PERFORMED BY FORD. *TR
