Consumer Description

HI..ON JANUARY 25,2010 ,I WAS DRIVING MY 2000 FORD WINDSTAR WHEN I RECEIVED A FLAT TIRE ON MY RIGHT REAR WHEEL. AAA CAME OUT TO REPAIR FLAT AND WHEN THE TECH WAS FINISHED HE SHOWED ME THE CAUSE OF THE FLAT. THE REAR AXLE WAS RUSTED AND BROKEN, CAUSING THE WHEELS TO TOW INWARD AND MAKE THE TIRE RUB ON THE CAR BODY, CAUSING A BLOW OUT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, KELLY FORD ,OF MELBOURNE ,FLORIDA. I REQUESTED A RECALL CHECK AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO INFORMATION ON THIS FAILURE AT THIS TIME. THE REAR AXLE AND THE TIRE WERE REPLACED BY THE FORD DEALER ON JANUARY 28, 2010. MY REPAIR BILL WAS $1030. DOLLARS.. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE NOW INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE THIS WILL HELP.. *TR
