The body control module failed on a main road at night. My inside lights and dash lights emergency flasher along with the outside lights shut off. The car behind me had to swerve around me to keep from hitting me. My vehicle was not seen by the other drivers and was almost hit several times. Luckily I coasted to a light and made a sweeping turn onto a wider shoulder area of the road. It was towed to a shop but they were not able to do anything with the vehicle do I had it towed to a Ford dealership. It was almost 30 days before I got my vehicle back. Apparently there is a shortage of body control modules. I received no warning lights at all. Everything inside the vehicle flashed and then the car and electrical just shut off. Prior to that incident I had not had any other issues with the vehicle. The drivers side seat module had to be replaced as well.it cost $1005.38 for the body control module to be replaced and $786 for the seat module to be replaced.
