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.

I will never buy another ford vehicle ever again!!!!!! I own a 2005 ford five hundred there was a recall in 2012 on the throttle body, a ford dealer supposably cleaned the throttle body, well now its not driveable. We have since talked to several ford dealers including ford motor company , they all said it was our responsibility to fix the problem. I do not think it should be my responsibility to pay for this since the part was recalled !!! The car could stall at anytime while driving putting myself and my family at risk, I don't think much of this automobile company for not standing behind there product, I will never recommend a ford vehicle to friends,family or even my worst enemy never never again!!!!
