Consumer Description

REAR AXLE IS CRACKED AFTER BRACKETS WERE PUT ON DUE TO RECALL. WE NOTICED THIS IS AN OLD CRACK AND SAW IT WHILE CHECKING FOR THE CAUSE OF A RATTLE NOISE. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE CRACK OCCURRED BUT THE RECALL BRACKETS WERE PUT ON SEVERAL YEARS AGO BY KELLER BROS. FORD LEBANON, PA. THEY REINSPECTED THE BRACKETS AND SAID THEY WERE PUT ON CORRECTLY. IF THAT'S THE CASE; WHY DID THE AXLE CRACK? WHY WON'T FORD PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED IF IT'S KNOWN TO HAVE A PROBLEM CRACKING?
