 2007 ford explorer sport trac. after being parked for a week, i attempted to start the vehicle and it would not respond. all other electrical equipment worked properly. diagnoses by the dealer determined that the instrument cluster had failed. if this had occurred while driving, it would have resulted in the vehicle engine failing. the consequences of this on a full freeway or other heavy traffic situation could be loss of control of the vehicle (no power steering) or stoppage in a traffic lane and exposure to a possible collision. there is no way to temporarily bypassing the failed system so that the vehicle could be moved to a safe location. *tr
