Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2007 Ford Five Hundred

Instrument cluster flashes then goes black while driving. Interior exterior and gauge lights go bright and dim and go out altogether while driving. Car dies while moving. Batteries only last 1 year from being drained. No alternator issue per 3 different mechanics.

Dash panel light go on and off while driving, reverse lights come on and car wants to stall. Put new battery in and had alternator replaced still having problem. Can not drive car because of safety risks. Been doing this for a month and still doing it even after repairs done by mechanic.

While driving down the street at midnight the car warning lights started to come on (abs, battery, traction control, and finally the factory stereo/gps unit) one by one. Then followed by the dashboard illumination going out which means I now had no taillights. Then finally lost all acceleration and the car just stopped. Luckily, I was able to illegally park the car blocking a driveway and fire hydrant. Had I been on the highway I may have had a completely different ending. A week after the mechanic replaced the alternator the electrical system shut down again only I got no lights on, it just died. After having the car for a week my mechanic replaced a faulty ground and the battery. The car still doesn't work properly. He has no idea why.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Five Hundred. The contact stated that the alternator was using most of the vehicle power and causing the battery to fail. The contact had to purchase two batteries in a one month period as a result of the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that they could not repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 85,000.

This is not the first time I have complained nor am I the only one having this issue. I bought the car back in 2010 and informed the car lot of flickering lights well now its gone as far as my whole dash lights flicker and when they come back they do not come back correctly all the time. My gas gauge doesn't register properly. This happens when I run the ac. When I had it checked I was told that it had something do with battery. The alternator is pulling too much power when ac is on. Well if I am not the only one having this issue I don't understand why this is not getting a better settling besides OH I think it is this or I think it is that. I have searched youtube and there are a lot of ppl having this issue. A whole lot of ppl. I am going to go have my battery checked again and take back to car lot again and hope to have a solution. This is getting really ridiculous and bad. I can run my ac for may 10 minutes without this happening and once I do the car doesn't wanna run properly after. Please look into this and reach out to other owners and see if they are having same issues. Maybe they don't know how ot reach you like I did.
