Christmas lights in the dash board
That's how the the morning started. My X5 turn on like always and as i started to drive, the dash board lighted up like a christmas tree. Got the Service engine soon, DSC, ABS, Brake (red), and the transmission failsafe mode. all those warnings at once. any ideas on why all the lights at once?
