Body Control Module
Greetings,
I own a 2014 F-150 XLT 3.5 L 6 cyl Twin. Saturday afternoon I tried to start the truck once and it didn't start like it normally does. It started on the second try, but the A/C didn't work and I got a "Starting System Fault" warning on my screen. When I shut the truck off, it would not start at all. All the lights and gauges worked, just no start. Had to tow it to Ford Dealer, where the service department had already closed for the day (of course). Today it was determined by the service department that the Body Control Module had malfunctioned. I was told that the tech tapped on the control module and the truck started. Now waiting two days for a replacement part to come in. Luckily, I'm just under 36K miles and three years.
Is this a common occurrence? If so, I'm dropping this vehicle like a hot potato. I can't afford to be stranded again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Apparently they have had trouble with particular body control modules but not yours.
Ford recalls 433K vehicles amid body control module issues
I would not panic over it unless they can't get it fixed.
