JUDGING FROM THE COMPLAINTS I'VE SEEN HERE (SIMILAR REPORTS POSTED BY DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN SUSPENSION, REAR SUSPENSION AND REAR SUSPENSION AXLE ASSEMBLY COMPONENT CATEGORIES) I'VE GOT PLENTY OF COMPANY ... LOOKS LIKE THE PROBLEM EXISTS ON 2001 WINDSTARS AS WELL , I DIDN'T LOOK ANY FURTHER, BUT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THEY HIT THE 10 YEAR OR 100,000 MILE MARK. I'M FILING TWO SEPARATE COMPLAINTS FOR THE TWO CARS (FIRST CAR, FORD GUY INSISTED I DID IT!). THIS IS THE FIRST. DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE MY  MECHANIC SPOTTED THE REAR AXLE HOUSING HAD CORRODED AND SPLIT RIGHT IN HALF TO THE LEFT OF ITS CENTER. I CALLED FORD MAIN OFFICE, THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS  HAPPENING BEFORE AND BECAUSE I WAS BEYOND WARRANTY, THEY COULD DO NOTHING, YADDA YADDA YADDA. I WENT TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE  DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 2000 AND HE SAID I MUST HAVE DONE IT BECAUSE WE TOWED A POP-UP CAMPER (ABOUT A HALF DOZEN TIMES IN THE NEARLY 9 YEARS I OWNED THE CAR). WE PAID OUR PRIVATE MECHANIC TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE, BUT SINCE HAS SEEN OTHERS COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE SAME SPOT. I HAVE PHOTOS OF BOTH OF MY CARS SHOWING HOW THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN THE SAME SPOT. THIS FIRST CAR HAD JUST UNDER 110,000 MILES ON IT. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2000","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"WINDSTAR","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
