| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 ford freestar that has been nothing but problems. Twice i lost power completely while driving. The first time it wouldn't start so i had it towed to the ford dealership. They said it started right back up and it was fine now. This was in november of 2008. In january 2009 it died on me again. I waited a few minutes and it started back up. I took it to a different dealer the second time. They said there was water in my power control module (pcm) and replaced it. I have not lost power since then. I am now having some problems starting the van. The van has been in the repair shop a minimum of 30 times in 2 1/2 years but it is never the same problem so the lemon law does not apply in my state. |
