| Description of the problem | 2006 ford freestar failed to move forward in gear while driving on busy road. This occurred two different times. Most recent instance saw me and my 4 year old daughter placed in peril. I have had transmission replaced only to find that problems may be the result of the pcm failing as a result of getting "wet" due to a faulty seal on the box that houses the pcm. Most recent incident nearly resulted in our nearly being rear ended by a semi tractor trailer at 50 mph. Fortunately, i had the presence of mind to shift to neutral, restart van and coast off road just ahead of truck. Van stalled and would not run. Had to leave at garage out of town and get a ride home for my and my 4 year old daughter. |
