Consumer Description

I OWN A 2003 FORD WINDSTAR VAN, FOR A COUPLE WEEKS I OCCASIONALLY HEARD A CREAKING NOISE WHEN I TURNED A SHARP CORNER. THEN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING, THANKFULLY NOT AT A VERY HIGH SPEED MY VAN STARTED TO GO ALL OVER THE ROAD EVERY TIME IT WENT OVER THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IN THE ROAD. IT FELT AS IF THE TIRES WERE GOING TO FALL OFF THE VAN. WHEN MY HUSBAND LOOKED UNDER THE VAN YOU COULD SEE THE BACK AXEL COMPLETELY BROKE IN HALF. WE TRAVEL A LONG DISTANCE EVERY FEW MONTHS TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO A CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, GOD WAS REALLY WATCHING OUT FOR MY FAMILY AND I, THAT THE AXEL DIDN'T GO WHILE WE WERE ON THOSE LONG STRETCHES OF HIGHWAY. *TR
