This has happened several times. While driving, the dashboard goes completely black. No gauges, no radio, no turn signals, no power steering, sometimes the wipers will work, no heat, no defrost. As suddenly as it went away everything comes back and the power steering causes the steering wheel to jerk in your hand. I-??ve called Ford Customer Relations twice and they are not concerned that that is a safety issue. However, all the gauges went out last night and now won-??t come back. I have video of the incident happening while driving but your website won-??t allow me to upload it.

Contacted dealer sales with attached photo. States all the cars are like this. This is a movable starring column just behind brake bad. A lose shoe string can be caught in here disable steering. The floor mat was rubbing against this and my wife though the steering was the issue. It really is. A simple inexpensive cover is needed
