In April 2025 as i was driving my vehicle I noticed my digital dashboard completely blacked out for a few minutes then reappeared. at the time i wasn't sure if an update was happening or not. The issue resurfaced late June but was worst. I took the vehicle to my ford dealership in (Courtesy Ford of Conyers,Georgia). They kept the vehicle for a few weeks and replaced the dash. However, the fix was short lived and in I received the back in Aug 2025. With three days of receipt of the vehicle the same problem was still present although the dash had been replaced. Current shop time is approx 30 days. I'm looking at processing this under the GA lemon law.

I am concerned about a serious safety recall affecting the vehicle. To date, the manufacturer has not taken corrective action, which has placed an undue amount of stress on me. I respectfully request prompt steps to resolve this issue.
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 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.

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.
