Consumer Description

DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON A TWO HOUR TRIP AND EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN BUT BRIEF LOSS OF ACCELERATION, SPEED IMMEDIATELY DROPPED BY 15 MPH, WHICH WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A SEVERE JERK. THE OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES DURING THE TRIP AT HIGH SPEEDS AND SUBSEQUENTLY CONTINUED TO OCCUR THE FOLLOWING DAYS DURING NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD DRIVING CONDITIONS (20 ? 40 MPH). I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER TO BE CHECKED OUT AS I THOUGHT THIS COULD BE RELATED TO THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED TORQUE CONVERTER OUTPUT SHAFT RECALL (RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11S25). THE DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE RELATED TO WATER INTRUSION INTO THE PCM HOUSING. UNFORTUNATELY THIS APPEARS TO BE COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD FREESTAR. *JS
