About 10 miles later, all dashboard indicator lights turned on and complete loss of all instruments (tachometer, speedometer, temperature, mileage, etc.) and a/c. Brought it into dealership two days later (earliest available time) and they claimed it was the result of a bad body control module (bcm) and replaced it under warranty. Two and half weeks later, vehicle did the same thing while on the highway. Brought it into same dealership and it was determined that it was a bad abs module and that was replaced under warranty.
