I have researched online and a lot of people with my same car are having the same problem. While driving my whole dash board goes out . I can no longer see how fast I'm going. Everything goes to 0 the gas goes to e and my reverse lights stay on until the dash board comes back up. If and when it comes back on my check engine light will be on. This has been happening every since I purchased the car 3years ago on and off.
Similar issue as in pe07058. Instrument cluster fails for extended periods. In this time I have no instrumentation available, speed, rpm, fuel, etc. Multiple warning lights illuminate, including airbag. All interior lighting dims significantly. Reverse lights illuminate even while in park, or driving forward.
This is the second time the dash cluster has failed in my Ford Five Hundred. It was replaced the first time. While under the part warranty of 12mo/12k miles, the cluster failed again. I took it to the dealer and they pulled the identical codes as the first time they replaced the cluster, but would not replace it this time because none of the indicator lamps where on at the time they looked at it. Now the wrench, traction control, check engine are lit, and the display reads check engine, check transmission, and transmission data error. These are the same as the last time when it was replaced. The car will not accelerate properly, and this time after parking the car it would not restart. I came back in about 20min. And the car started. I took it to the dealer, now out of the part warranty and now they immediately want to replace the cluster. Seems Ford just wanted me to pay for the repair, again.
Dash gauges, lights, inoperable. Stuck in various positions. Turn signals are inoperable and reverse lights are on in the drive position. Reverse warning indicators beep when in traffic at stop lights or when other vehicles get close to rear of vehicle. Air bag inoperable warning light is on all the time. Existting research by NHTSA indicates exterior lighting working on previuos complaints. Internet research indicates turn signals and reverse lights do not operate when cluster fails. Possible air bag failure coupled with inoperable turn signals and increased risk of accident as well as reverse lights on in drive are major safety concerns.
At first our 2005 Ford Five Hundred had issues with instrument cluster failures (blacking out and needles zeroing etc. But now rear back up lights come on going down the highway because of this electrical problem. I believe this has to be considered a safety issue and should warrant a recall . Thank you.
Instrument cluster failure. All gauges drop to zero. Multiple dash warning lights come on them go back off leaving the check engine light on. Turn signal lights will not operate. Problem is intermittent. The reverse lights come on when the car is not in reverse. Problem started this morning 9/20/2010 I can not believe that the NHTSA has not made Ford issue a recall!.
We are having a problem with the instrument cluster of our 2005 Ford Five Hundred. All the lights on the dashboard go out. All the gauges drop down to zero. Sometimes this lasts for a second. Sometimes it will go out for hours. This is dangerous because you do not have a speedometer reading.
