2005 Ford Freestar Electrical system Problems

Bad design and definitely bad for business..”

He ended up pushing my car with his into a nearby parking lot. After some investigation, I concluded it was the PCM. …”

“On christmas eve 2014 I got into my recently purchased 2005 Ford Freestar minivan to run a short errand. After starting my Freestar I put it in reverse but the vehicle would not move. I tried all the forward gears with the same result, the vehicle would not move. The engine RPM's would go up but no movement.
