Consumer Description

MY 2002 FORD WINDSTAR'S REAR AXLE HAS CRACKED! WHILE I WAS DRIVING WE HEARD A HORRIBLE SOUND. WE GET OUT AND LOOK TO SEE THAT MY REAR TIRES WE BOWED IN. I HAD MY COUSIN WHO IS A MECHANIC TO COME OVER AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY REAR AXLE HAS CRACKED AND HE HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT! I'VE HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED TWICE ALREADY AND I HAVE TO PAY $450.00 FOR THE PART AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR. THE JOB IS A 7-8 HOUR PROJECT! I'M FURIOUS! I'VE OWNED THIS VAN FOR 3 MONTHS! I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WORK THIS ENTIRE WEEK BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM! I CAME HOME THE DAY THAT IT HAPPENED AND LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM AND APPARENTLY ITS A COMMON KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS! I GUESS FORD IS GOING TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM! *TR
