Consumer Description

THE DRIVELINE BROKER FROM IT'S HOLDING MOUNT WHILE DRIVING AND TANGLED UP THE FUEL LINE AND BRAKE LINES GOING TO THE REAR OF THE VAN. MAKING THE VAN LOSE POWER AND NOT BE ABLE TO BE DRIVEN ANYMORE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ALSO THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THE REAR FLEX JOINT WHICH THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS RECOGNIZED BUT ARE REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE TOTAL REPAIR. HOW IS THAT FAIR? IT IS FORD'S DESIGN FLAW THAT MADE THIS HAPPEN.
