Consumer Description

FRONT WHEEL CRACKED THROUGH DIAMETER OF METAL, POSSIBLE SAFETY PROBLEM WITH STRESS FATIGUE DUE TO OVERHEATING OF FRONT BRAKES OR JUST PLAIN CHEAP METAL. HAVE ANOTHER WINDSTAR AT WORK AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 2 FRONT WHEELS DUE TO SIMILAR METAL FATIGUE CRACKS. THAT IS 3 OF 8 WHEELS CRACKED WITHIN 50,000 MILES. VERY UNUSUAL DON'T YOU THINK. CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO NO AVAIL. WHEELS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS SAFETY PROBLEM. WHEELS DID MAKE NOISE INDICATING PROBLEM BEFORE REPLACEMENT.
