Description of the problem	My son drove the freestar home the night of 3/20 and stated it was running a bit rough. The next morning my wife had a hard time starting the care to drive our daughter to school. Once she got the vehicle started and backed it out of the driveway the vehicle stalled in the middle of the street and was unable to restart. I had the vehicle towed to the ford dealer and was actually able to start the van but it now had no reverse. The dealer had the van for 12 days and replaced the pcm. We got the van back and the check engine light came on immediately. The dealer now states that the wiring and connectors to the pcm are all soaked and they need to be dried and cleaned. After doing some research it appears that this is a known issue with the freestar and that i was quite lucky as to the timing and location of the vehicle when it failed. I truly believe that this design flaw in this vehicle needs to be resolved by ford prior to anyone getting injured.
