Consumer Description

AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL ON OUR FORD WINDSTAR SUDDENLY CRACKED AS SHE WAS BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY THIS MORNING. WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT (WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS) AND WERE TOLD THEY HAD NEVER SEEN A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE AND THAT IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THE WHEEL IS DEFECTIVE PERHAPS FROM METAL FATIGUE, BUT IN ANY EVENT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURED AND OWNERS OF THIS YEAR MODEL SHOULD BE NOTIFIED AND THE WHEELS CHECKED. I ALSO THINK THAT FORD OR THE DEALERSHIP HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF THIS DEFECTIVE WHEEL.
