My 2005 Mercury Montego has an instrument failure in which all warning lights stayed on. One light remained on after ignition was off. The backup lights stayed on while in drive presenting a significant safety hazard. For example, a car approaching from the rear, upon seeing faulty backup lights on may swerve to avoid. This situation would be even more likely to happen at night on a two lane road. Nhtsa previously closed the original investigation due to “no safety defect�. That reason was based on ford’s inaccurate statement to odi that the backup lights were not an issue. Ford later issued TSB 06-6-2 with revision 06-17-2 both advising dealers that backup lights problem was an issue. The defect was found to be a fault in the wiring of the instrument cluster per the latter TSB. Based on this, it is likely there are thousands or more vehicles which have had this problem and for which owners had to pay over $700 to correct due to no recall. Please re-open. (previously reported by this writer with less information).
