Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, MY 2001 FORD WINDSTAR BROKE DOWN AND WAS IMMOBILE. AFTER BEING TOWED AND INSPECTED BY A REPAIR SERVICE, THE CAUSE WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE FRONT SUBFRAME. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS FACING RIGHT WHILE ALL OTHERS WERE FORWARD FACING. THIS EASILY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR A CRASH IF OTHER VEHICLES HAD BEEN NEAR OR HAD THE VEHICLE BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEED. *TR
