Consumer Description

REAR AXLE BROKE UNDER BRACKET THAT WAS PUT ON BY FORD FOR THE AXLE RECALL. I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT WITH MY HUSBAND AND 4 KIDS IN THE VAN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LOAD NOISE AND THE TIRE WAS RUBBING THE WHEEL WELL. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, LOOKED UNDER THE REAR END AND COULD SEE THE BRAKE. HAD MY VAN TOWED TO MY HOUSE. CALLED FORD ON MONDAY MORNING AND TOWED VAN TO DEALERSHIP. $300 BETWEEN TOW BILL'S AND A FORD SERVICE CHARGE JUST TO HAVE FORD TELL ME THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX MY VAN AND MAKE THIS RIGHT.
