Instrument panel turns off on and on during driving. No ability to see speed, acceleration, engine heat, fuel, or any lights at all (unable to see warning lights like engine light or airbag or tire pressure and not even able to use blinkers or high lights). Problem occurs during driving (will even turn off and on many times within same driving session) but will also happen while car is sitting just with ignition on. Took to dealer and they couldnt find the problem, told me to (and I quote) “continue driving until it gets worse” so they could find the problem later on. Romano Ford in Fayetteville NY told us to continue using the vehicle while the instrument panels contiously turns off and on, disregarding the safety issues of not being able to monitor anything while driving (speed, heat, fuel, warnings, blinkers or anything!). When we scanned the vehicle for DTCs it comes up as the instrument panel is losing connection to every single module in the vehicle, and they for some reason do not see this as dangerous.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, GOING NORMAL SPEEDS, PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GET AROUND A SEMI AND MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL SNAPPED. THE PLASTIC ARM THAT ATTACHES IT TO THE INNER PART IS ALL PLASTIC AND THE VAN IS ONLY 3 YRS OLD AND ONLY 70K MILES. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE BUT NOW MY VEHICLE IS STRANDED WITH NO WAY TO GET IT HOME. *DT *BF *JB
