Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 FORD WINDSTAR SEL. IN OCTOBER OF 2009 MY VAN STARTED PULLING TO THE LEFT AND BECAME HARD TO CONTROL ON THE ROAD. WHEN I LOOKED AT MY VAN FROM THE BACK I COULD SEE MY BACK TIRES WERE BOWED OUTWARD. I TOOK MY VAN TO THE AUTO SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE BACK AXLE WAS CRACKED AND READY TO BUST. I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER CONSUMERS WITH 2002 WINDSTARS AND I THINK IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. I HAD A LARGE REPAIR BILL AND MY BRAND NEW BACK TIRES WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE BOWING OF THE TIRES AS A RESULT OF THE BUSTED AXLE. *TR
