Description of the problem	On wednesday, march 31, 2010 my wife went to leave the driveway with our 2005 ford freestar with my two sons. The minivan would start then die. Roadside assistance took it to the dealership. Dealership called and told me that the pcm had water and corrosion and needed to be replaced. Regardless of the current tsb for this issue they say it is not covered under the premium warranty that i purchased and that i must pay in full for this problem which is approximately $940. Thankfully this happened at home and not somewhere out on the road. This is an issue that ford is fully aware of and refuses to remedy so the owner is stuck holding the bill. This safety issue should be addressed by the nhsta board to force ford to fix this before someone gets killed.
