Consumer Description

PCM (POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE) HAS GOTTEN WET AND CAUSES CAR TO NOT DRIVE. LOSE POWER. NOT START. LUNGE, LURCH FORWARD. WON'T ENGAGE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I HAVE REPLACED PCM 6 TIMES. BROKE DOWN 5 TIMES. HAD VAN TOWED 5 TIMES. LEFT VAN AT REPAIR SHOP FOR MONTHS AT A TIME TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. FINALLY MOVED THE PCM TO THE INSIDE OF VAN SO THAT IT WON'T BE EFFECTED BY WATER. FORD HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM DESPITE A TSB BEING ISSUED. FURTHERMORE, I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT FORD WILL NOT REVIEW MY RECEIPTS FOR THE TRANSMISSION UNTIL LETTERS GO OUT. TOTAL STONEWALLING BY FORD. *TR
