Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE AT NIGHT AND MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INFORMATION DISPLAY WITH SYSTEM WARNINGS AND ODOMETER DISPLAY STARTED BLINKING COLORS, THEN BLACK AND WHITE, AND ON AND OFF. IT HAS GONE BLACK SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN IT SEEM TO WORK FINE FOR A SHORT TIME, AND THEN IT WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN START AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ON STREETS, HIGHWAYS, DAY AND NIGHT. THIS STARTED 3 WEEKS AGO. MY ODOMETER IS AROUND 50,000. I CHECKED ON LINE FOR RECALLS AND HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER 2013 OWNERS FINDING THE SAME THING THAT I DID, THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE 2014 MODELS (RECALL (15C03 - REPROGRAM INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) ISSUED AGAINST 2014 FORD ESCAPE FOR THE SAME ISSUE) BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 2013 MODELS. PLEASE HELP.
