Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 FORD WINDSTAR WITH 94,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE LATELY BEEN HEARING A LOUD BANGING SOUND WHENEVER I MAKE TURNS SO I BROUGHT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR AXLE IS NEARLY CRACKED IN HALF. I CAN SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, AFRAID THAT WHEN IT SPLITS, I'M GOING TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD THE $1000 PLUS IT'S GOING TO COST ME TO REPAIR IT, AND BETTER YET, MY OTHER CAR IS A 2003 FORD WINDSTAR. SO I'M ALSO AFRAID I'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS TWICE. *TR
