NHTSA Complaint #10716176 — 2004 FORD FREESTAR

DIFFERENT THINGS ARE HAPPENING. MY VAN IDLES AT A HIGHER RPM. MY VAN DOESNT WANT TO CRANK ON THE FIRST TURN OF THE KEY. MY VAN IS POSSIBLY MISS-FIRING. MY FRONT WIPER MOTOR HAS STOPPED. MY ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED. NOW MY BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON BUT THEN MAY GO OFF. MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN IDLES, MY BATTERY LIGHT IS ON. NOTHING BUT THE ENGINE CRANKED, BUT BATTERY LIGHT IS ON. MY BATTERY WAS REPLACED WITH IN 6 MONTHS BEFORE THIS. SOMETIMES THE SIDE DOORS DECIDE TO OPEN WHEN BUTTON IS PUSHED AND SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH WATER GETTING INTO THE PCM. WATER SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET INTO THIS AREA. THERE IS NOT TIME FRAME AS TO HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN DAMAGED, BUT IT IS A PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. WHEN RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I FIND THAT THIS IS ALMOST EVERYONE'S ANSWER TO THEIR PROBLEM, I FEEL THAT IT IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS SOME ATTENTION FROM FORD TO RECOGNIZE AGAIN. YES SOMETIMES THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE DUE TO SOMETHING ELSE BUT WHEN ALL OF THE OTHER ITEMS HAVE BEEN FIXED OR REPLACED AND IT CONTINUES THEN IT IS A PROBLEM.
