| Description of the problem | Pcm (power train control module) has gotten wet and causes car to not drive. Lose power. Not start. Lunge, lurch forward. Won't engage in drive or reverse. I have replaced pcm 6 times. Broke down 5 times. Had van towed 5 times. Left van at repair shop for months at a time to diagnose problem. Finally moved the pcm to the inside of van so that it won't be effected by water. Ford has refused to acknowledge problem despite a tsb being issued. Furthermore, i replaced the transmission and a recall has been issued but ford will not review my receipts for the transmission until letters go out. Total stonewalling by ford. |
