Description of the problem	I went through an automatic car wash around 315pm. The van was driving fine up to this point. Immediately after i left the carwash, the van started acting like it was going to stall out and the engine light was blinking. I've had one other situation like this with this van when we went away for a weekend and it rained a lot where we were staying. The van acted like it was going to stall but we had no idea why. I went online to see if anyone else had problems with their van that was attributed to water. I was shocked to see how many others have had the same thing happen. I also found an investigation that stated there is a defect and it's a safety concern but that they weren't going to issue any recalls at this time because there haven't been enough complaints. The diagnosis from the ford dealership is as follows-water has leaked into the pcm. They would need to clean that out and seal it so water can't leak into it anymore. Water has also leaked into my spark plugs and corroded them. They would need to replace the spark plugs and wiring. Water has also leaked into my fuel lines so they want to clean out my fuel line. All of this for over $700. 00. When i contacted ford motors because this happened due to a manufacturing defect, they told me that they can't help me because there aren't any recalls. I can't say i'm surprised by that since they haven't taken responsibility for this defect with others and don't sound like they ever will. I'm not paying ford to fix it because this isn't normal wear and tear and it's not caused by anything that i have done. I'm going to take my chances with the vehicle while i try to pursue this another way. I no longer feel safe in my van and will not be transporting my children in it until something is done about this issue.

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.
