NHTSA Complaint #10414992 — 2005 FORD FREESTAR

MY 2005 FORD FREESTAR HAS STOP DRIVING.IT STARTS BUT WHEN I SHIFT INTO GEARS THE CAR DOES NOTHING. IT WON'T DRIVE OR GO IN REVERSE. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID WATER GOT INTO THE PCM. AND WOULD COST ABOUT $1200 TO FIX.I HAVE NOTICE MANY OTHER 2005 FORD FREESTARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY HAVE REPAIRED THE PROBLEM OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE FORD WON'T PAY FOR THE PROBLEM.WE DIDN'T DESIGN THE VECHILE SO WHY IS IT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEM.I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS PULLING INTO MY HOUSE WHEN MY CAR CUT OFF.BUT MANY OTHER STORIES WITH THE SAME WATER ON THE PCM PROBLEM HAVE BEEN ON HIGHWAYS OR BUSY STREETS WHEN THEIR CAR DIES SO IS FORD WAITING FOR SOMEONE OR A GROUP OF PEOPLE TO DIE IN ORDER TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM AND TAKE RESPOSIBILITY AND REPAIR IT SO THE CONSUMER DON'T HAVE TO PAY WITH THIER MONEY OR THIER LIVES.I SWEAR HAD I KNOWN THAT FORD HAS IGNORED SERIOUS LIFETHREATING PROBLEM LIKE THE WATER ON THE PCM OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A VAN FROM FORD OR ANY VEHICLE FROM THEM. FORD CLEARLY STANDS FOR FOUND ON ROAD DEAD AND SOON ITS NOT GOING TO BE JUST THE VEHICLE BUT SOMEONE LIFE AS WELL IF THEY DRIVE A FORD.AND FORD DOESN'T GIVE A CRAP. *TR
