| Description of the problem | 2005 ford freestar 3. 9l 130,000 mile. While driving down major state route with my 6 year old in the car my engine just stopped, lost power steering, brakes but was able to pull over on side of road. Had to wait two hours for a tow truck to come. After shop inspected, they found the pcm was full of water and had to be replaced. Due to the complete loss of power this could have caused a tragic accident if my son and i would not have been able to get off the road. |
