Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD CRACK NOISE AND SEEN SMOKE IN REAR VIEW MIRROR. WHEN I GOT OUT TIRE WAS TILTED COMPLETELY IN THE REAR. COME TO FIND OUT MY REAR AXEL COMPLETELY CRACKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING! CALLED FORD THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS FIXED IN 2011 AND THERE WAS ANOTHER RECALL FIXED IN 2013. SINCE IT WAS ALREADY " FIXED" THEY WILL NOT COVER THE WORK. I NOW HAVE TO PAY 600 TO GET THIS FIXED OUT OF POCKET AND THERE IS NO REASON THE AXEL SHOULD HAVE BROKE IN HALF LIKE IT DID! VERY UPSETTING TO KNOW I COULD'VE HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THIS COULD HAVE DEFINITELY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT !! I KNOW THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED CORRECTLY IN THE FIRST PLACE IT WAS JUST A BANDAID FOR FORD! *TR
