Description of the problem	I am currently dealing with an issue that i find many posts and complaints about on my 2005 ford freestar. I was driving around a corner and the car just shut down completely. I got the car pulled over safely thankfully because i had my three children in the vehicle with me at the time. I can start the car and put it into drive and reverse. The car goes into gear but when i hit the accelerator pedal it has no power. The engine revs and rpms go up but no movement. The transaxle light is flashing and the check engine light is now on as well. From all of the research i find this is a problem with the pcm getting wet. It was raining today with around an inch of rain today alone. There was no warning when this happened. The van was running just fine and then it just shut down and started malfunctioning. This is a widely known problem. There are complaints about this all over the internet. Why is ford able to get away with this even after the service bulletin about it years ago. Does somebody have to die before you will step in and make ford do something about this? This is the second major problem i have had with ford vehicles. Now i know why my father used to call them "freaking old rebuilt dodge" ford is a terrible company that makes crap vehicles and does not stand behind them when serious safety issues arise. They sure can take the tax payer money when they need help though. What a joke!!!! For once please step in and make this right before somebody does get killed. There are many worse stories out there than mine!
