| Description of the problem | Took van in to transmission repair shop because even though ford replaced the torque converter on the recall the transmission still slipped. When repair was completed we went and picked up our van on the way home it died and all the lights were going crazy. Shop towed back to their shop. They went through van and found the computer was saturated with water. We were told need a new computer and new wiring harness and this has been a known issue with ford with their computers getting wet. Now we are out 2600 and still don't have a car. If this is a known issue why isn't ford doing anything to fix the issue? |
