Instrument cluster failure. Caused all my lights (interior and exterior) to go out while I was driving in heavy traffic in the dark on an 8 lane interstate. Took the vehicle to an auto electric shop for diagnosis. Took to Ford dealer for repair. Have been waiting for almost 2 months for the replacement part (instrument cluster). Ford says it is on back order. Note: this is a safety hazard!.
The contact owns a 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. The contact stated that the instrument cluster was defective. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who confirmed that the instrument cluster failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but offered no assistance and referred her to NHTSA. The vehicle identification number was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 89,000 and the current mileage was 91,000.
2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. After being parked for a week, I attempted to start the vehicle and it would not respond. All other electrical equipment worked properly. Diagnoses by the dealer determined that the instrument cluster had failed. If this had occurred while driving, it would have resulted in the vehicle engine failing. The consequences of this on a full freeway or other heavy traffic situation could be loss of control of the vehicle (no power steering) or stoppage in a traffic lane and exposure to a possible collision. There is no way to temporarily bypassing the failed system so that the vehicle could be moved to a safe location.
