Description of the problem	Every time it rained, my engine would shudder, shake, sometimes knock, the transmission would shift for no good reason, and i stalled out in traffic once. The vehicle became non-drivable when it rained (and only when it rained). I took the vehicle to my ford dealer (schults ford of harmarville, pa), where technician pat sand indicated that this is a known problem with ford freestars, and said a ford service bulletin indicates that because of a manufacturing problem (incorrect sealer application to the pcm and poor position of pcm in relation to windshield run-off) water leakage into the program control module causes it to issue random commands and errors. They followed the ford bulletin and by simply better sealing against moisture / blocking the water flow, resolved the problem. This is a safety issue and a known manufacturing defect.
