NHTSA Complaint #10404201 — 1999 FORD WINDSTAR

I BOUGHT A 1999 FORD WINDSTAR IN DELAWARE OHIO AT BYERS FORD AND ON THE FIRST DAY I GOT IT WHEN I WOULD PUT ON THE BREAKS THE VAN WOULD SHAKE SO BAD. AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON THEN GO OFF. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IS WAS JUST A SENSOR. I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL OF THE REAR AXLES BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2010 AND HAD THEM CHECKED AND THEY PUT SOME SPRAY ON THEM. I THEN GOT THE SECOND RECALL FOR THE FRONT SUBFRAME IN FEB OF 2011 AND WHEN I SET UP MY APT IT WAS NOT TILL MAY 25TH 2011 THAT I GOT IN. FOR 3 MONTHS I DEALT WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK LIGHT BEING ON, THE ABS LIGHT BEING ON A CLICKING NOISE UNDER MY STEERING WHEEL AND ON TOP OF THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY FAMILY AROUND IN IT. THE VAN SHAKES SO BAD THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE A MILKSHAKE WHEN YOU STOP. SOMETIMES I WOULD HAVE TO PRESS HARD ON THE BREAKS TO GET IT TO STOP. I TOLD THIS TO THE MAN AT BYERS FORD IN DELAWARE, OH AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS MY ROTORS WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THE RECALLS. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL ORDERS AND IT WOULD BE READY BY THE NEXT MORNING. 4 HOURS LATER I GET A CALL THAT MY VAN DID NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO PASSING INSPECTION. MY SUBFRAME IS ACTUALLY BROKE AND THAT IT LOOKED LIKE IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOR SOMETIME. WHY WAS THIS NOT NOTICED BEFORE SELLING THE VAN. AREN'T THEY SUPPOSED TO THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE VEHICLE BEFORE PUTTING IT OUT ON THE LOT? *TR
