Consumer Description

I DRIVE A 2001 FORD WINDSTAR AND WAS RELIEVED TO FIND OUT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE REAR AXLE FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB SINCE MAY 2010 THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON THE SAME DAY I DROVE THE CAR OFF THE LOT AND I HAVE REPLACED FOUR REAR TIRES SINCE. NOT UNTIL I HAD MY MECHANIC COME AND LIFT THE VEHICLE UP TO SEE WHY I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE COMING TO WORK ONE MORNING DID I REALIZE THE SEVERITY OF THE MATTER ONLY AFTER MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT THE DAY BEFORE TO RUN ERRANDS. SCARY HOW THE LIFE OF MY CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN LOST BECAUSE OF SUCH NEGLIGENCE. THE VAN NOW SITS AT MY JOB AND IS UNDRIVEABLE, AND I FOUND OUT THE STATE I LIVE IN IS NOT UNDER THIS RECALL. WHAT EXACTLY WILL IT TAKE TO REALIZE THE WINDSTAR IS A HAZARD. I WILL FIGHT TO GET THIS STATE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST, DO WHAT I NEED TO DO, TALK TO WHOM EVER WILL LISTEN. *TR
