When it's raining or wet snow outside the van starts to chug. this causes the vehicle to have loss of power and it becomes jerky. the engine light starts to flash. it only does this when it's wet outside- it happens on the freeway, dirt roads, paved in town roads.... i'm sure it is the electrical box under the hood getting wet from a manufacture overlook- i've read this was an issue and because it hasn't caused a death it's not something ford has to fix? i have children and i will not allow my family to be a loss because of a manufacture issue. ford should be paying for the fix.
My transmition turn my car off in the highest my engine light keeps going on
