Consumer Description

ON DECEMBER 27TH, MY WIFE HAD HER FORD WINDSTAR LX RECALL ON THE REAR AXLE FIXED AT JIM KIEM FORD IN HILLIARD, OHIO. SHE ALSO WANTED FORD TO LOOK INTO A REALLY BAD NOISE THAT SHE WAS HEARING IN FRONT WHEN SHE WAS TURNING. IT WAS A LOUD BANGING NOISE. JIM KIEM FORD TOLD US THAT THE SOUND THAT WE HEARD WAS THE SUB-FRAME. THEY SAID THE SUB-FRAME WAS RUSTED AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY SAID THAT THE ENGINE MIGHT FALL OUT OF THE CAR! MY WIFE AND CHILDREN HAVE BEEN USING THIS VAN EVERYDAY. I HAVE READ MANY WINDSTAR OWNERS COMMENTS ONLINE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL? DO CHILDREN HAVE TO DIE! *TR
