NHTSA Complaint #10440557 — 2004 FORD FREESTAR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH AND MY VAN STARTING CUTTING OUT REALLY BAD AND DIED. I WAS A MILE FROM ANYWHERE I GOT IT TO A SAFE PLACE EVENTUALLY AND THEN COULD NO LONGER START THE VAN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER ALREADY ONCE. IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY SO I KNOW IT IS THE COMPUTER BECAUSE THE MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE COMPUTER 3 MONTHS AGO SAID THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 FORD FREESTAR. EVERY TIME IT RAINS I HAVE TROUBLE WITH MY CAR. IT WAS RAINING LAST NIGHT SO I KNOW WATER HAS ONCE AGAIN GOTTEN INTO MY COMPUTER. WHEN IS THERE EVER GOING TO BE A RECALL ON THIS. I AM A SINGLE MOM OF 4 KIDS AND FEEL LIKE FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS VEHICLE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO JUST GO OUT AND BUY A NEW VEHICLE BECAUSE FORD MESSED UP. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OR BROKE DOWN FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS OF THIS TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUES. *TR
