Consumer Description

2000 FORD WINDSTAR LX 95,000 MILES. REAR AXLE IS CRACKED. RIGHT REAR SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH WHERE IT MOUNTS TO THE FRAME. BOTH PARTS ARE READY TO FAIL AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY OR DEATH. PLEASE RECALL THE WINDSTAR FOR THE RUSTED SUBFRAMES BEFORE PEOPLE START GETTING HURT. IT IS A REAL PROBLEM AND YOU WILL RECEIVE MANY MORE COMPLAINTS. THAT NONSENSE FORD IS SPOUTING ABOUT RUST IS NORMAL ON VEHICLES OF THIS AGE IS NOT GOING TO FLY. BODY RUST IS NORMAL IN THE "SALT BELT", FRAMES AND AXLES RUSTING TO THE POINT OF BREAKING IS NOT. I BOUGHT A WINDSTAR FOR IT'S FIVE STAR CRASH RATING. I THOUGHT IT WOULD KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE! *TR
