| Description of the problem | I was leaving my residence in my 2004 freestar when it all of a sudden just cut off. It started right back up and shut off again, started back up drove about 100 yards shut off again. I drove it back to my house as i had barely gotten out of my drive. However to drive it back to the house i had to continually restart the vehicle. Next day got in it and it would not go in reverse and in neutral the engine idled up very high. I put it in drive it moved, put it back in reverse nothing repeated this action, heard a loud click and van went in reverse. After a few minutes it seemed to change gears sitting in the drive. I haven't driven it any where, scared to. Also we just purchased this van used 10 days ago. Dealer said bring it in has a 30 day warranty. Did i mention it rained sunday and i didn't attempt to drive it until wednesday and all this started. Read on this sight about all the pcm problems after rain. *jb |
