1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" THE ELECTRONIC, ALL DIGITAL DASHBOARD WENT COMPLETELY BLACK FOR ABOUT 25 SECONDS WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, IN TRAFFIC AT NIGHT, 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? WHEN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT BLANK, I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE ANY INFORMATION THAT IS NORMALLY DISPLAYED, SUCH AS SPEED, AMOUNT OF FUEL, ETC. NOTHING. THIS GLITCH TOOK MY ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE INTERSTATE AND TRAFFIC. IT FRIGHTENED ME TERRIBLY. I COULD HAVE EASILY HAD AN ACCIDENT AS I TRIED TO FIGUE OUT THE ISSUE IN THE DARK. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? THE IS UNKNOWN TO ME. HOWEVER, IF YOU SIMPLY GOOGLE, "DASHBOARD GOES BLANK IN FORD 2018 MUSTANG', YOU WILL FIND MANY, MANY OTHER MUSTANG OWNERS STATING INCIDENTS OF THE EXACT SAME BLACK OUT HAPPENING TO THEIR INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN DRIVING THEIR CARS. FROM WHAT I READ, THIS ISSUE IS NOT LIMITED TO THE 2018 MODEL YEAR OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO FORD, YET THEY SEEM UNWILLING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? THIS QUESTION IS UNKNOWN TO ME 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" NO. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE IN TRAFFIC, AT NIGHT, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SIMPLY WENT BLACK. IT IS TOTALLY DIGITAL, SO I HAD NO ACCESS TO ANY INFORMATION REGARDING MY SPEED, AMOUNT OF GASOLINE REMAINING IN THE VEHICLE, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS CUSTOMARILY DISPLAYED BY A VEHICLE'S INSTRUMENT PANEL. i PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, USED, ON JANUARY 22, 2022. PLEASE MAKE FORD RECALL ALLMUSTANGS, REGARDLESS OF MODEL YEAR, WITH THIS KNOW ISSUE BEFORE SOME IS KILLED!
