NHTSA Complaint #10360166 — 2003 FORD WINDSTAR

I HAVE A 2003 FORD WINDSTAR WITH 94,000 ON IT. BOUGHT IT SECOND OWNER WITH 18,000 MILES ONLY ON IT AND A 75,000 MILE WARRANTY. MY ENTIRE FRAME IS RUSTING FROM THE DOOR PANELS TO THE UNDER FRAME, SUPPORTS. HECK I HAVE A HOLE THAT DEVELOPED THE SIZE OF MY FIST IN THE SIDE FRAME NEAR THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IN THE REAR. MY HITCH WONT EVEN HOLD CAUSE THE METAL JUST BENDS INWARDS. THERE ARE CARS ON THE ROAD WITH 150,000 THAT DO NOT HAVE THE RUST MY CAR DOES. WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE CHEAP METAL THEY USED DURING THIS PROCESS. NOW I HAVE TO BUY A NEW CAR THAT I CANNOT AFFORD AT THIS TIME. I WAS HOPING TO KEEP MY CAR FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE MORE YEARS BUT NOW I CANNOT, ITS DANGEROUS. THEY EVEN TOLD ME MY REAR AXLE IS BENDING. I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR CAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER AND IF I DIE SO BE IT I GUESS CAUSE I GUESS ITS ALL ABOUT BUSINESS AS USUAL. NOTHING PERSONAL BUT I AM PUTTING MY BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS AND FORDS HANDS. I CANNOT DRIVE AND LOSE MY JOB. IF IT HAPPENS IT HAPPENS WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE. MY SISTER ALSO HAS A WINDSTAR THAT COLLAPSED THIS WEEKEND UPON MAKING A TURN THANKFULLY AT 25 MILE PER HOUR. I DRIVE 70 AT TIMES WHERE PERMISSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY CONCERNS AND MY DISTINCT RUDENESS. I AM JUST FED UP WITH HOLDING THE BAG FOR BIG BUSINESS. I PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR. FIRST OWNERS PAID 26,000 I PAID 19,000 USED ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. HAD IT ONLY FIVE YEARS. HECK I HAD MY DODGE FOR TEN. PLEASE PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE I OR SOMEONE ELSE DIES. *TR
