Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2004 Ford Freestar

Different things are happening. My van idles at a higher rpm. My van doesnt want to crank on the first turn of the key. My van is possibly miss-firing. My front wiper motor has stopped. My alternator was replaced. Now my battery light comes on but then may go off. My car shuts off when idles, my battery light is on. Nothing but the engine cranked, but battery light is on. My battery was replaced with in 6 months before this. Sometimes the side doors decide to open when button is pushed and sometimes they do not. I have been told that the problem is with water getting into the pcm. Water should not be able to get into this area. There is not time frame as to how long this has been damaged, but it is a problem. It needs to be fixed. When researching the internet I find that this is almost everyone's answer to their problem, I feel that it is an issue that needs some attention from Ford to recognize again. Yes sometimes these problems can be due to something else but when all of the other items have been fixed or replaced and it continues then it is a problem.

Tl- the contact owns a 2004 Ford Freestar. The contact stated that the rear door latch was prematurely loosely connected and the contact had to adjust the latch to securely connect the latch due to the failure. The contact also indicated that the plastic piece on the rear seat lever fractured and the contact had to use the bottom latch as a temporary option to lift the seat up and down because of the failure with the seat lever plastic piece fracturing. The front passenger side window also failed to go up and down. The motor for the window regulator was replaced but the failure recurred and the window on the passengers side still would not go up and down. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and they provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000. Dyd.

Had the recall work done on the torque converter end of August beginning of September 2012, upon return of vehicle have had nothing but problems. Last Thursday April 4 the vehicle suddenly lost power while going through an intersection. Friday did the same thing 3 times in less than 20 minutes of driving. Replaced alternator, belt tensioner and belt. Mechanic asked what it did, then said it might be the torque converter. He checked power steering, and water pump they are fine. Not sure how a part less than year old could go bad. When my vehicle went in for recall was perfectly fine, since it's return is has been running horrible and nothing seems to really fix it.

Driving and battery light, abs and brake light all illuminated. No issues with braking. Replaced pcm in Nov 2011 for similar issue. Car at dealer for a week so far and indicate needs an alternator (maybe) and pcm. Multiple pcm issues reported on this make and model. Tsbs, etc. When is action going to be taken. Dealer indicates part is on back order from Ford. Please take some action this is in addition to a torque converter issue already under recall. The pcm controls everything and could have caused this car to fail and hurt someone.

It started with my driver side window working erratically. Simultaneously, the buttons on my radio quit working, although it randomly kept trying to reprogram "preset 2". Without warning, at 65mph on a busy road, I abruptly lost power and could not maintain speed or accelerate. I also experienced erratic rpm. Currently vehicle will chronically not start due to power failure, even though battery and alternator have been checked and are functioning properly. The sudden and unexpected loss of acceleration and erratic rpm is dangerous. I am unable to drive this vehicle because I fear for my safety.
