Consumer Description

THE REAR AXLE TUBE ON MY 2002 FORD WINDSTAR CRACKED YESTERDAY AND COST ME ALMOST $400 TO REPAIR. I AM A FORD CERTIFIED REPAIR TECHNICIAN AND I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME CONCERN ON SO MANY WINDSTARS THAT I FEEL THAT IT WARRANTS INVESTIGATION FOR A POSSIBLE SAFETY RECALL. THE AXLE TUBES ALWAYS SPLIT CLOSE TO THE LEFT SIDE AND NOT ALONG ANY SEAMS OR WELDS. THIS IS A STRUCTURAL DEFECT AND A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE AXLE BREAKS COMPLETELY IT WILL CAUSE COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE CONSIDER INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER. *TR
