Consumer Description

I WENT TO RUN AN ERRAND & THE VAN SEEMED TO BE HANDLING STRANGELY. IT FELT LIKE THE REAR WAS JUMPING/SHIFTING ON "NORMAL" PAVEMENT. I TURNED AROUND (ONLY .5 MILES FROM HOME) & FOUND THE REAR TIRES ON MY 2001 WINDSTAR "CAVED INWARDS". I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MAKE IT THE SHORT DISTANCE BACK TO MY HOME & LOOK UNDERNEATH TO SEE THAT THE REAR AXLE IS SPLIT THROUGH (NOT COMPLETELY, BUT BADLY). WE HAVE NOT YET HAD IT TOWED TO GET AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. *TR
