Dashboard Failed Problems of Ford Five Hundred

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.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford Five Hundred. The contact stated that the gauges failed to function and often fluctuated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the instrument cluster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000. . . . Updated 11-18-13.

Two problems: 1. Car surges sporadically (I. E. When pulling into parking space with foot on brake, car surges as if pressing the accelerator). 2. While driving all lights on dash go out, speedometer and tachometer go to zero. I had the throttle body replaced once (several months later, Ford reimbursed me for the cost under customer satisfaction program 12n03. This solved the problem for several months. The problem is now re-occurring. Ford has indicated that they will not repair the car again. This seems to be a safety issue.

Dash cluster malfunction for all gauges. At the time of malfunction, reverse lamps turn on. If malfunction occurs at night, dash illumination also shuts down. Gauges zero out, top out then flutter at zero. Have noticed airbag lamp on occasionally.

While driving, the instrument cluster bottoms out on the speedometer, tach, and all other warnings - backup lights come on and the instrument panel lights go out. . Sometimes it will come back on by pretty quickly, other times it will be that way for a week or more. This is very dangerous and from research I've done is happening to many people. Why has there not been a recall to fix the problem? there is a TSB 06-17-9 dated 9/4/2006 but no remedy by Ford. Also after having the transmission fluid changed at the recommended mileage the transmission then started slipping and had to eventually be replaced.

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.

I was driving my 2006 Ford 500, going about 58 mph on the highway when everything on the dash went out -- speedometer went to zero; gas to empty, etc. , and the brake light came on. I was frightened that I would not have control of the car. Now, by researching on the internet, I find this is fairly common. My dealer quoted me about $700 for parts & labor to fix it, yet many of the anecdotal accounts on the internet say it never occurred again. This seems to be a defect the companies are aware of, it presents a safety risk, and it should be recalled.

While driving my 2006 Ford Five Hundred the cluster of instruments on the dashboard fail and return to their off position. Dashboard goes blank, reverse lights come on and air conditioning turns off. This last approximatley 15 seconds and then everything returns to normal. . Extremely dangerous driving at night with this failure and no turn signals. Obviously Ford is aware of this problem and could care less until someone gets killed. Will never purchase Ford 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.

Instrument cluster failure. All gauges drop to zero. Multiple dash warning lights come on, dashboard lights go black, turn signal lights will not operate. Problem is intermittent. Problem began 8/3/07. Off and on since. Dealer can not find problem.
