Consumer Description

2002 FORD WINDSTAR; THE REAR AXLE BROKE IN TWO WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH. BOTH TIRES TILTED OUT, AXLE CRACKED A LITTLE TO THE LEFT OF CENTER WHILE LOOKING AT IT FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VAN. I UNDERSTAND THIS HAS HAPPENED IN HUNDREDS OF WINDSTARS, AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE PEOPLE DIE, IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY. *TR
