This is a big, big, deal related to dangerous safety issue. reference bulletin:ford tsb 6-14-10, issued july 24, 2006 (supersedes ford tsb 5-23-7 issued november 28, 2005) my car suddenly lost control surging and unable to shift and no reverse gear. have had off and on problems for the past year resulting in about $2000 of service to figure out why car acting up, surging, inability to shift, at times no forward or reverse gear. one time drove 25 mph to get home 20 miles and police stopped me because suspicious driving. i told him i was have transmission problems. transmission as it turns out is perfect. pcm is malfunctioning intermittently because of engineering problem of pcm shorting out.towed to ford dealer and said needed $2-5000 transmission. towed home and suddenly started working. investigated this bulletin that the ford dealer was not familiar with and they accepted my information describing the bulletin to them. why has this problem not risen to the recall status given the extreme danger on the highway driving and loosing all control of the car causing a very dangerous perilous situation to me my family and others on the road?
Water dripped from the wiper blade cowl into the pcm, causing the vehicle to start, drive briefly, and then shut off while moving, causing loss of control of electrical components of the vehicle while driving on the highway. steering became difficult. if this had happened at high speeds or with a lot of traffic around, it could have been extremely dangerous or deadly. the mechanic says this is a problem he sees with ford windstar vehicles. the mechanic stated the pcm was literally under water when he received the vehicle, despite the cause being a fairly typical rain storm, and drying out the pcm did not help, as the damage had already been done. this is a safety issue that, after searching online and speaking with mechanics, appears to be common. ford needs to fix this issue before a vehicle loses control at high speeds.
The indiana alpr tracking system causes electrical malfunctions including the abs brake system and various other unknown malfunctions. the abs module has failed on the subject vehicle and the alpr attacks continue. these alpr attacks are initiated by electrical apparatus on top of telephne poles and on police cars. these attacks can be heard by sudden unexpected loud thumping on my dashboard which could cause an accident in addition to the abs brake system failure. these attacks occur both in motion and when stationary. the thumping is expecially surprising in traffic and could easily cause an accident. plus, i do not have abs protection on slick roads
Everytime i stop at either a stoplight or stop sign it stalls out. the battery light comes on and then goes back off. i am able to restart it back up and continue it on. i have had the electrical computer fixed and had a full tune up done and it still stalls out.
My van has a problem with water, that is when it rains the vehicle starts having problems with several components. (ie engine misfire, transmission fails to shift properly, door looks refuse to operate properly, among other weird things) this happens every time it rains. the problem as i have being able to trace it, is that the water that comes off the front windshield and into the plastic that covers the cowl area ( where the wipers are) drips on to the main electric wire harness connection that comes from the inside of the car and connects to the engine bay wire harness. as the wire harness connector gets wet, the vehicle starts acting up. i took the van to my mechanic but he was unable to find a problem, it was dry. i took the vehicle to a ford dealer and, to my surprise, they knew about the problem but told me i had to pay the repair because its covered on a technical service bulletin (tsb 06-14-10) but its not a recall. how can this not be a recall when the van is going along well and as soon as it starts ...

We own a 2005 ford freestar. the sliding door lock failed on passenger side and could not be unlocked electronically or manually. the local ford mechanic stated that the cost to repair was $600+ for parts & $300 for labor to fix. approximate failure mileage was 126,000.
