Water leaks down the hood thru the cowl. Vans pcm had to be replaced. There is a TSB on this. Poor design of hood allows water to leak into cowl and into the pcm. Had pcm replaced at $500 plus. This van is a nightmare.
My Ford Freestar has speratic issues, I have noticed that this issue only happens when it rains. I have taken it to mechanic and they are not able to locate the problem. I have been doing research online and notice that there is a lot of complaints about this issue and nothing is being done about it. We get the pcm replaced and then because of the defect it gets wet again. When will this issue be resolved?.
The contact owns a 2007 Ford Freestar. The contact was driving in reverse at approximately 5 mph into a parking space with the brake pedal engaged when the vehicle began to lunge unexpectedly. The failure occurred sporadically while driving at low speed. The vehicle recently stalled with the illumination of the engine warning indicator. The vehicle restarted and resumed as normal. The contact notified the dealer and they recommended the vehicle be diagnosed to determine the cause of failure. The contact planned to take the vehicle for diagnosis. The manufacturer was not made aware of the defect. There was an open investigation related to the failure under NHTSA action number pe10033 (vehicle speed control; power train: automatic transmission: control module/tcm,). The failure mileage was 90,000.
I have noticed that this issue only occures when it rains. I have take it to several mechanic and they where not able to pin point th issue since it does not happen regularly. While doing some research on the interent I have noticed that this is a common thing among Ford free star. I plan to take my vechile to a mechanic with the information regarding pcm issue, if this a common defect I hope there will be a recall. This is afamily vechile I drive my children in it everyday and this is a potental hazard if my van was to die on the intersate.
