Description of the problem	Water getting into pcm causing transmission to stop shifting , engine stalling and fast idle. Had ford tsb 06-14-10 done but still have same problem when it rains. I tried to tell ford and they just don't care. This a very serious problem they have and they are ignoring it ! I have four kids and this van is totally unsafe to drive i've had to pull over on the side of the road several times. I've had it towed three times for the same problem . The dealer has tried to fix it three times and replaced the pcm once and we still have the same problem. I have seen many complaints on the internet for the same problem. All you have to do is punch in the tsb 06-14-10 and you will see the problems that ford is having with this issue. I still owe $8,400 on this van and i can't sell it and i am afraid to drive it especially with my children in the van. If this is not a safety concern then i don't know what is!
