| Description of the problem | Vehicle lost power while driving. There was no power steering or power brakes and the engine stopped running. There was no warning before the power failure. Vehicle was able to be started up after power failure. The same evening, starting up the vehicle, the idle was rough and the power failed in about 1 minute. Vehicle was brought to a ford dealer the next morning and they could not replicate the problem and no engine codes were present. About 1 week later, after a rain storm, the power failed again while driving at 30 mph. It was possible to start the vehicle after the power failure. A ford dealer looked at the vehicle after the latest power failure and could not replicate the problem and there were no engine codes. In april 2010, i experienced a similar problem which was caused by water getting into the pcm. Within a month in 2010, the pcm was replaced twice. |
