NHTSA Complaint #10363932 — 2004 FORD FREESTAR

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE VAN STARTED TO JERK AND CUT OUT. STALLING ON OCCASION. WE HAD THE COIL PACK REPLACED AND THIS REPAIR LASTED FOR 1 WEEK THEN IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. WHEN IT IS DRY OUTSIDE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON BUT THE VAN DRIVES FINE. AS SOON AS IT STARTS TO RAIN OR WE HIT ANY MOISTURE OR MUD PUDDLE THE VAN STARTS JERKING AGAIN AND SOMETIMES BACK FIRES OR EVEN STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND HAS TO BE RESTARTED. WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT ALOT OF 2004 FREESTAR OWNERS ARE HAVING THAT THE PCM OR COMPUTER GETS WET AND CAUSES THIS PROBLEM DUE TO A FLAW IN THE DESIGN. *TR
