Consumer Description

NOTIFIED BY FORD MOTOR CO. ABOUT A VOLUNTEER RECALL FOR THE INSPECTION AND REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR AXLE FOR MY 2003 FORD WINDSTAR. DEALER FOUND NO CRACKS AND APPLIED ANTICORROSIVE MATERIAL AND REINFORCMENT BRACKETS. I BELIEVE THAT IT'S POOR DESIGN IS THE SOLE REASON FOR IT'S FAILURE AND THIS "TEMP" FIX IS ONLY PUTTING OF THE INEVITABLE. FORD SHOULD BE MANDATING THAT ALL WINDSTAR'S AFFECTED ON THE ROAD SHOULD HAVE AN AXLE REPLACEMENT FREE OF CHARGE. *LN
