Description of the problem	I was traveling on a busy road last sunday. My van completely shut down with no warning. I had no power steering or power brakes and was almost rear-ended. Thank god i managed to get to the side of the road. I started it again and it happened again three more times. I had it towed to jim's auto service and they think it could be related to water leakage onto the computer. I called ford to ask about this and they said that they knew nothing about this but i found information about this problem all over the internet. I asked them how could my mechanic know about this and they didn't?! They told me to take it to a ford dealership. I am 60 years old and babysit my grandchildren full time and i am afraid to drive them in this vehicle! I also do not have the money for major repairs. I hung up with ford feeling frustrated since this could have been a fatal situation if i had been on the highway with my granddaughter. *js
