Consumer Description

MY 2005 MERCURY VAN DIED WITHOUT WARNING AND AFTER TAKING IT IN FOR REPAIR, WAS INFORMED IT WAS THE PCM MODULE OR COMPUTER THAT FAILED DUE TO MOISTURE. THE COST OF REPAIRS IS $962 AND THE MODULE DESIGN IS DEFECTIVE ALLOWING MOISTURE TO CAUSE THE PART TO FAIL. THE PART IS MOUNTED IN THE FRONT COWL AND NOT PROTECTED NOR SEALED FROM WEATHER. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL AND MANY HORRIFIC SAFETY INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED WITH THE VAN'S FAILURE. FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT!
