“My icp in my Mustang will randomly blank out while driving. This has happened while braking and driving down the highway. The car stays running, but I have no information. Since it is a digital screen I lose my speedometer, tachometer and everything else on the icp. It will boot back up after 10 seconds and work properly.”
NHTSA complaint #11301150, filed 2020-01, 10,000 miles“Instrument cluster is blank upon start-up. This vehicle should be included in the NHTSA campaign number 19v076000. At vehicle start-up, the instrument panel cluster assembly sometimes misfunctions and shows a blank display. This has happened 3 times since I have owned my car for only 1 month. I brought it in for service on 6/4/19 and walker Ford supposedly updated the instrument panel cluster software to fix this problem but it happened again and on 6/18 upon starting the car, the instrument panel was blank. The vehicle was stationary in my garage. …”
NHTSA complaint #11221100, filed 2019-06, 600 miles“Electronic dash panel goes blank. Vehicle only has 1800 miles . It has happened several times. Seems to be only at night after stopping on an errand and then getting back in and restarting. Have had in a Ford dealership and they stated they can't find anything wrong. There was a safety recall on this problem for mustangs manufactured ip to 1/19. Mine was built in 4/19.”
NHTSA complaint #11364549, filed 2020-10, 1,850 miles“Car would not turn over. When I pushed the brake down to push the start button the brakes made a weird noise and it said brake system failed across dash. All the lights came on and would try to start over but would not. The brakes locked up and then the car completely died due to the head light started flashing and couldn't turn them off. The car would not lock or unlock. Could not pop open the hood or trunk.”
