Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 FORD WINDSTAR & WAS DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD WHEN AN ANIMAL RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME, I SWERVED TO MISS IT AND BANG...!!! I NEARLY LOST CONTROL BECAUSE THE REAR END STARTED BOUNCING AROUND. I PULLED OVER AT A BUDDIES HOUSE & FOUND THE REAR AXLE BROKEN. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER & THERE WERE 2 OTHER BROKEN WINDSTARS THERE AHEAD OF MINE & I HAD TO PAY FOR THE TOW!!! THE FORD DEALER RENTED ME A VEHICLE FOR $30 PER DAY BUT THEY WONT PICK UP THE TAX WHICH IS $2.67/DAY. FORD SAYS IT MAY BE FEBRUARY BEFORE IT'S FIXED SO THAT'S $80/MONTH IT'S GONNA COST ME FOR FORDS CRAP VAN!!!! I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE COULD BE LEGAL ACTION TAKEN AGAINST FORD FOR FULL COMPENSATION INCLUDING THE TAXES ON THE RENTAL, HAD I NOT BEEN A GOOD DRIVER, I MAY HAVE ROLLED THE VAN. THIS COULD COST ME $300 PLUS AND I'M NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT THIS. *TR
