What owners wrote
My 2005 freestar failed to maintain forward speed at 65 miles per hour when it bucked and bucked then stalled looked on line for answer? Yes PCM is water damaged trying to dry it out now hope it works sounds like ford is waiting for someone to get hurt.relocated the PCM and save alot for your company its just right to do TSB isn't doing it please and thank you
When driving down the road the van will suddenly lose all forward momentum and drift momentarily until it will just as suddenly resume forward momentum and continue like normal. When this happens, the rpms drop off like the vehicle is stalling or fuel starved (however it has no hesitation like its running out of gas) no warning lights come on and there is no pattern to when or how it happens.
