My 2005 Ford 500 some times the dash quits working radio heat that stuff is fine but the dash it's self rpm speedometor gas gauge all the dash quits and when that happens the airbag light comes on because when the dash quits so does the airbags that is a saftey and should be a recall.

While driving airbag light came on several times and then made 1 bong. Ford dealer said I have a bad control module and part is not covered. If this is a safety item should it be covered? should this module be recalled?.

Instrument cluster intermittently went dark and/or gauges went to zero/off positions, we pulled over to see if exterior lights worked and all did, as well as blinkers and flashers, but we noted that reverse lights were now on. It has recurred a few times, its most noticeable after dark as dash lights go black. Only light on dash was the airbag light. I went online & found info on a technical service bulletin "TSB 06-17-9 09/04/06 - intermittent instrument cluster", it does not appear to be a recall item so assuming any repairs are entirely owner cost ?.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford Five Hundred. The air bag indicator light remained illuminated. In March 2007 the vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnostic, but the results showed no air bag failure. The vehicle had been at the dealer since March 27, 2007, and they were still unable to duplicate the failure. The contact called the dealer on April 23, 2007, and was informed that a part had been ordered. The dealer did not mention that the failure was common with the Ford Five Hundreds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on three occasions , and dealer determined that the air bag indicator light did indeed remain illuminated. The current mileage is 23,445, and failure mileage was 23,261.
