NHTSA Complaint #10523870 — 2000 FORD WINDSTAR

I WAS DRIVING AT 65MPH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND MY REAR AXLE GAVE OUT CAUSING MY TIRE TO TILT IN AND RUB AGAINST THE AXLE ALMOST CAUSING A FIRE. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY REPLACED IT ONCE AND WON'T REPLACE IT AGAIN. WHEN FIRST AXLE WAS REPLACE WITH A FAULTY AXLE FROM A WINDSTAR IN A JUNK YARD BEFORE THE RECALL EVER CAME OUT I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED AND WAS REIMBURSED BY FORD. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY CAN'T REPLACE IT AGAIN. THEY NEVER FELT THE NEED TO INSPECT THE VAN WHEN THE RECALL CAME OUT. *TR
