Consumer Description

MY SUSPENSION BROKE ON MY 1999 FORD WINDSTAR LEAVING ME WITH NO STEERING. I RAN OFF THE ROAD AND THANKFULLY WENT INTO A FIELD. VERY SCARY. THIS IS A 1400. REPAIR. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS FOR OTHERS AS WELL. I AM JUST WONDERING WHY THIS PART WAS NEVER A RECALL? APPARENTLY REAR AXLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. THE FORD COMPANY DID TELL ME THIS MAY BE A FUTURE RECALL BUT IS NOT AS OF YET. I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE OR WHAT BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER. *TR
