WHILE I WAS DRIVING, ALL THE DASHBOARD GAUGES QUIT WORKING AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT SO IT WAS A LITTLE CONCERNING SINCE I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING ON MY DASHBOARD AND THE SPEEDOMETER WASN'T WORKING. I WAS TOLD THE BODY CONTROL MODULE IS BAD AND AFTER LOOKING AT FORUMS, IT SEEMS THIS IS AN ISSUE AMONGST MANY FORD TRANSIT OWNERS. IT SEEMS UNSAFE THAT THAT CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL SINCE IT SEEMS SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE AN ISSUE AND LOOKS LIKE THERE ISN'T.
