Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 FORD WINSTAR, THE REAR AXLE BEAM TWICE NOW FOR CRACKING/SPLITTING ,BOTH HAPPEND IN THE SAME SPOT,WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THAT? BAD METAL ! I REPLACE IT WITH A 96 REAR AXLE WHICH HAS SUPPORTS AND A SUPPORT BEAM UNDER THE AXLE, WISH WHEN I CHANGED IT THE FIRST TIME I CHANGED IT WITH THIS YEAR AXLE!! NEXT I JUST NOTICED THE OTHER DAY THAT THE SUB-FRAME (ENGINE CRADLE ) IS ROTTED OUT ON THE PASSANGER SIDE! WHEN GOING TO THE JUNK YARDS I HAVE NOTICED HIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY WOULDN'T FORD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? AFTER ALL THESE ARE FAMILY VANS THAT HAUL CHRILDREN 99% OF THE TIME! THESE THINGS COULD CAUSE DEATH VERY EASY! IF THEY FAIL ON A HWY GOD HELP THEM !!!
