Consumer Description

THE DIGITAL INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL SUDDENLY GO OUT, CAUSING THE FORD 500 2005 TO LOSE ALL READ OUTS, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL DASH LIGHTS WILL GO OUT, AND IF AT NIGHT, THE LIGHT PANELS AND LIGHTS AS WELL. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY FORD IN A BULLETIN THAT THEY HAVE SENT TO ITS DEALERS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION, NOT TO MENTION A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT FORD HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A BIG SELLING CAR THE FIRST YEAR IT WAS MADE IN 2005 AND BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE TO FIX. *TT
