Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2003 ford taurus se, while driving on the freeway i tried to make a phone call home. at the time my phone could not connect, i re-tried the phone call my phone made a clicking sound, simultaneously my dash board blinked out and reset to all the wrong information. when i exited the freeway i pulled over and restarted my vehicle everything reset correctly. i contacted ford, they said it was a voltage spike. i then talked to a good friend in the research and development dept. at a competitor. he told me that certain types of cell phone signals will interfere with the electronic devices in some vehicles. i think that ford should take this a bit more seriously because if this is a problem that this model taurus has, it should be addressed. *jb
