Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-75 IN TOLEDO OHIO AT 70 MPH WHEN MY REAR AXLE BROKE IN HALF ON MY 2001 FORD WINDSTAR MINIVAN. LOST CONTROL BUT WAS ABLE TO NOT HIT ANYONE OR ROLL OVER. I HAVE HAD NO HELP FROM FORD AND NOTHING BUT A RUN AROUND FROM THEM HELP!!! I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND NO TRANSPORTATION. MY ELDEST DAUGHTER HAS NO BUSING IN OUR COUNTY SO I HAVE TO TRANSPORT BOTH WAYS AND NO VEHICLE. NO WAY TO GET GROCERIES OR DR. APPTS. FORD PROMISED ME A RENTAL BUT 9 DAYS HAVE GONE BY AND NO HELP. WHAT DO I DO? THEY ARE TELLING ME IT WILL BE OVER THREE MONTHS BEFORE I CAN HAVE MY VAN REPAIRED. *TR
