Description of the problem	The vehicle starts fine, but as soon as i get to about 20mph, the vehicle stalls. I have taken the vehicle to the ford dealership atleast four times. At first they said it was something in the transmission, then they said it was the torque converter, finally they decided it was the pcm getting wet. They said they sealed the pcm to keep it from getting wet, but all they did was caulk around the brackets that fastens the wiper cow on. Finally after getting tired of taking the van back to the dealership, i decided to pull everything apart myself. What i discovered was the pcm is located in a place that it shouldn't be. It is located on the passenger side of the firewall under the wiper cow. Water runs behind the wiper cow directly on the pcm. I have contacted the dealership about it, but all they say is, " we cant do anything about it because there is no recall". I looked online to see if other people are having problems, and to no surprise, there are literally hundreds of consumers with the exact same issues. I feel that this could potentially be unsafe to motorists, simply because the entire vehicle shuts down as you are driving. When the vehicle shuts down, there is no longer power steering or power brakes, which makes it difficult to safely control the vehicle. Please do what you can.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
