NHTSA Complaint #10346412 — 2000 FORD WINDSTAR

I HAVE A FORD WINDSTAR WITH 93,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND WAS SHOCKED WHEN THE VEHICLE TIRES WERE SLANTED ON AN ANGLE ON DAY! THIS WAS VERY ODD LOOKING, AS YOU CAN ONLY IMAGINE AND AFTER A REVIEW OF THE VEHICLE WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR AXLE HOUSING WAS CRACKED (AND RUSTED) RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, CLOSER TO ONE SIDE; LEAVING THE CARE NON-DRIVABLE DUE TO POSSIBLE BLOW-OUT OCCURRENCE. AFTER HAVING NO CHOICE BUT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND AFTER PUTTING OVER $600 DOLLARS INTO THE VEHICLE HAVE ONLY FOUND THAT OTHER FORD WINDSTARS ARE ALSO HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH NOT TO BE INVOLVED IN ANY TYPE OF MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, HOWEVER THIS WAS DAMAGING TO MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT! I WOULD STILL HOWEVER BUY FORD VEHICLES AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE MY CASE KNOWN IN THIS SITUATION. *TR
