Description of the problem	I have 2004 mercury monterey. About 2 years ago my transmission failed at 67k and had to replace out of my pocket. Now there started another big issue in this car. Lately i park the van outside in the driveway. This happened several occasions since it started (especially in rainy days). I could start the car, but can not shift the vehicle into either forward or reverse. All kind of warning lights popup in this situation. Sometimes vehicle move few yards and then stall. Sometimes radio does not work. Then all of sudden when the day is sunny, van drives perfectly normal with no issues. This is extremely frustrated, i thought i purchased a good vehicle from the ford, but not anymore!! I consulted my local mechanic and he thinks somehow computer get wet and that cause the problem. Some days it drives 10-20 miles in highway and the problem start again with a sudden power loss. This is extremely dangerous in driving with south florida traffic. How come rain water seep into the computer? This is no doubt that this issue must be due to poor design by the car manufacturer. Nhtsa should investigate this seriously since vehicle owners do not have any resolution due to bad design issue.
