Consumer Description

THE RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM PULLED LOOSE FROM THE SUBFRAME CROSSMEMBER DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST. THE LEADUP TO THE INCIDENT WAS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED. THE CONTROL ARM PULLED LOOSE AT 70 MPH AND CAUSED THE WINDSTAR TO VEER BACK AND FORTH USING 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO COME TO A STOP. LUCKY FOR ME WAS THAT THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN MY IMMEDIATE AREA AND NO OTHER CARS WERE INVOLVED. *TR
