NHTSA Complaint #10482039 — 2006 FORD FREESTAR

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JAN. 06, STARTER WENT 11 MONTHS LATER. VAN HAS NEVER STARTED UP CORRECTLY. IT DOESN'T RUN SMOOTHLY. RUNS ROUGH WHEN IT RAINS. FOUND INFO ONLINE REGARDING WATER LEAKING INTO THE PCM WHICH CAN CREATE MISFIRES, SHIFT LATE, ENGINE CAN RUN ROUGH. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO ECHELON FORD SEVERAL TIMES. THEY STILL WON'T ADMIT TO IT BEING A PROBLEM. COULDN'T FIND A CODE. HOWEVER, NOW THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND A CODE. FORD ARE NOT BACKING UP THERE PRODUCT! THERE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE VEHICLES AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE! I HAVE 1 YEAR LEFT TO PAY, AND CAN'T AFFORD TO MAKE REPAIRS THAT FORD SHOULD BE FIXING SINCE IT STARTED WHEN I HAD THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY...WHY WILL FORD NOT DO SOMETHING..? I HAVE A WIFE WHO DRIVES IT WITH 4 KIDS. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR, AN ACCIDENT...? WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN TO GET THEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON THERE VEHICLES. FORD IS SAYING IT'S MISS FIRING IN CYLINDER 3. PROBABLY BECAUSE OF ALL THE WATER THAT HAS EFFECTED THE PCM, AND THE IGNITION COIL PACK & IGNITION WIRES NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, WHY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED IN A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE... IS THAT GETTING WET TOO...? I AM EXTREMELY TIRED OF DEALING WITH THIS VAN. IT'S NOT FAIR TO HAVE A COMPANY NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT. I HAVE HAD IT! *TR
