I have a 2003 Ford Taurus se, while driving on the freeway I tried to make a phone call home. At the time my phone could not connect, I re-tried the phone call my phone made a clicking sound, simultaneously my dash board blinked out and reset to all the wrong information. When I exited the freeway I pulled over and restarted my vehicle everything reset correctly. I contacted Ford, they said it was a voltage spike. I then talked to a good friend in the research and development dept. At a competitor. He told me that certain types of cell phone signals will interfere with the electronic devices in some vehicles. I think that Ford should take this a bit more seriously because if this is a problem that this model Taurus has, it should be addressed.
