Ford Five Hundred warning lights comes on

Filed Dec 25, 2021 · Electrical, Lights · OK

when I’m The vehicle and the temperature reaches middle temp ,the car starts to beep and all the dashboard lights go completely out and the head lights and tail lights be blinking as if they are about to go off . Even when I have the heater or a/c on they turns off and I’m a afraid that if or when I’m on the highway all my lights will just stop working on the middle of the highway at night and no one will be able to see me. And that will cause a big wreck and maybe kill myself or worst someone else. I have looked my car up to see if it has a recall but none are given. I’m afraid for the safety of my fellow drivers on the at night . And I don’t know what to do about this problem.

Driving when the call RPM drop and ABS goes out car won't excelerate "failsafe engine mode " is what it says n my check engine light and ABS light and rench light on, had to pull over and shut off and turn back on. Cleaned the throttle body and reprogramed the computer and it continues to happen at random and will randomly excelerate on its own with rpms rising and yet I'm no where near gas pedal, I'm on brakes. As my instrument panel will malfunction and all gauges will go to zero and wiggle and all warning lights will be displayed them goes completely black, this has also been very unsafe of an issue because at night when this happens you can't see your spend or gas or anything. And the fail-safe mode also has almost cause me to have crashed as well as been crashed into over four dozen times. Seeing how I pay for it to be fixed and nothing can't seem to fix it ... It's very scary and I worry for my life each time I drive

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.

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.

I just bought my 2007 ford five hundred 3 weeks ago and I was driving and all of a sudden the RPM starting going up really high the throttle light(wrench) came on and my car started slowing down. I pulled over, just avoided getting smashed in the rear from a truck and my car stopped moving. I cut the car off then tried to crank it back up at first it didn't start then it cranked 2nd time but then the check engine light was on and stayed on. I took it to a mechanic he said something about a throttle code he said he wanted to give it a second chance. He reset the codes and all lights were off. Well, about 2 days later while driving to work the same thing happened which he said shouldn't happen anymore. I called he said something about ford having to order the part and fix the car. I went on several online forums and found that many other ford 500 hundred customers were/are having the same problem and when they tried to get it fixed it only re-appeared again later. Something is not right with this. This should be a recall.. Sincerely, very very unsatisfied first time ford customer.......

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 federal safety agency has not made ford issue a recall!
