You're welcome, Lumberbum. I'll escalate this to your regional customer service manager so they can assist. Since you're a new member, you may not have access to PMs yet. If that's the case, send an email to custserv@ford.com with your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, current mileage, and preferred servicing dealership. Since this email address isn't monitored, be sure to put my name ("Crystal") in the subject line and post here once you've sent it. That's how I'll know to go and look for your message.

Body Control Module gone bad?
I have a 2014 Lariat, ecoboost. I'm being told by the dealer it's a bad Body Control Module, and it will be over three weeks to get the part in, because it's on "National Backorder"...The dealer has already replaced the battery, and has now had the truck a week troubleshooting the issue (battery goes dead overnight or after sitting parked for over 8 - 10 hours). It sounds to me like they are Easter egging the problem, unless there is a MAJOR issue with these modules that Ford can't keep up with demand. Anyone else seeing this?

On Monday it will be 5 weeks since I brought my f150 in for what was diagnosed as bad body control module. The dealership has been accommodating but I am really disappointed in fords for not having parts available. Probably going with different brand next time unfortunately been a loyal ford family.

I emailed a week ago to "crystal" and haven't herd a thing. Trucks been in the shop for almost 6 weeks this is very disappointing. I can't pull my trailer or go to our Cabin to work. No one at the dealership or ford's seems to care or have any idea when my part will be in.

I promise that I'm not a bot.
