The instrument panel goes blank. No way to tell how fast you are driving and no way to see warning lights. Ford has now had the car for over two months now with no solution.

I visited the [XXX] in Greensboro, NC on [XXX], was inside the Y for around five minutes, and when I came out and got back to my car, the car would not start, the battery was completely dead. I called USAA Road Service, they came and said I had a very discharged battery. They helped me get the car started, and I got home OK. I do not know what caused the battery to fail. After the battery failed, It was inspected on July 9, 2024 by Green Ford in Greensboro, and then replaced by the Ford dealer. My safety was at risk because the dealer said the faulty battery probably was responsible for an accelerator problem I am experiencing (detailed in NHTSA complaint number 11619861) and a brake failure which I experienced (detailed in NHTSA complaint number 11619933). The Ford dealer that said the battery was defective, and as I said, replaced it (under the car's warranty). There was no warning that the battery would fail, and I do not know why it failed, and had no reason to believe it would fail. If the Ford dealer kept the failed battery, and still has it, it should be available for inspection upon request.

In the morning when I start the car, I have a blank digital instrumentation screen. No way to tell how fast you are driving or how much gas you have and no warning lights. Sometimes it will take over an hour to come back on. Took it to a Ford dealership and they said they could not duplicate the problem, but a service bulletin was out on is problem was out on this to make sure software was up to date. My car is up to date, and I was told Ford was working on the problem if that did not correct it with a time frame of October 2025. I think this is a real safety concern how do they expect me to drive a car with no warning display or knowing how fast I'm driving for a whole year.

The main display on vehicle providing speed, gas level, mileage and all gauges and vehicle information and notifications has gone completely black. Screen has not been able to turn back on after troubleshooting with Ford. Dealerships have been booked up for a week or two in a 2 state radius and ford has denied to provide a loner vehicle so I am stuck driving without knowing how much gas or how fast I-??m going

I am dealing with ford on two brand new mustangs. That are both failing electrically and they claim they have fixed yet haven-??t and still exhibiting gross safety concerns. This is simply large scale negligence. Both Mustangs screens have and are randomly blacking out creating massive safety concern when no guages or functions are present. I-??ve contacted them and a. Insider has given me a document showing that they know and have no answers. And for this. Is gross negligence. I demand replacements. Both problems have cause financial damages. And also psychological trauma due to prior car wreck where dash blacked out. This is a known issue And I demand answers.

While driving, my digital gauge cluster screen will completely go to black, and then it will fade out. This is during normal operation. The gauge cluster does not do any restart animations, so it is as if the screen loses power for a few seconds, or something causes it to stop being displayed.

Cold weather. Warmed up the car for 10 minutes. all defoger for rear glass and winshield were used. There is accessive condenced water all over inside front and back window. started driving and used the wiper to clean the windshield and found out water is on the inside made the visability hard.
