ON THE FIRST, MY REAR AXLE BROKE IN 2008 AFTER I WENT OVER THE 100,000 MILE MARK. I'M JUST THANKFUL MY MECHANIC CAUGHT IT DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND IT DIDN'T SNAP WHEN I WAS DRIVING. FORD SAID IT WAS AN ANOMALY OR THAT I MUST'VE DONE IT TOWING OUR CAMPER AND DID NOTHING. MY SON WOUND UP TOTALING THE CAR LATER THAT YEAR AND WITH THE INSURANCE SETTLEMENT I FOUND THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL THAT I COULD AFFORD. THIS NEW 2000 WINDSTAR ONLY HAD 50,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE HAD IT FOR 14 MONTHS AND MY MECHANIC JUST FOUND THE SAME DEFECT. HE KEPT AN EYE ON THIS ONE BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME, THANK HEAVEN. THIS CAR WAS USED, BUT HAD A CLEAR CARFAX AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENTS IN EITHER CAR (WELL, UNTIL MY DOPEY SON WRECKED THE FIRST!) ... AXLE HOUSING CORRODED AND WORN IN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT, TO THE LEFT OF CENTER. AGAIN I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING AS LAST TIME. THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS FOR THIS, I'M PAST WARRANTY, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING, BLAH BLAH BLAH. I EVEN STOPPED BACK IN AT THE DEALER, WHERE I HAD GONE AFTER MY FIRST WINDSTAR'S AXLE SNAPPED (I ACTUALLY BROUGHT THEM THE AXLE THEN TO SHOW THEM THEN) AND POINTED IT OUT AGAIN, NOTING THAT THIS CAR HAD NO TRAILER HITCH, SO THEIR EXPLANATION FOR THE LAST ONE WAS SHOT OUT OF THE WATER. AS A MATTER OF FACT, MY MECHANIC SAID HE'S HAD A COUPLE IN BETWEEN MY TWO, AND THE GUY WHO DELIVERED THE PART TO HAVE THIS SECOND ONE FIXED SAID THIS WAS THE FOURTH HE'D DELIVERED THIS WEEK.  I EVEN STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND WAS CHATTING WITH A FRIEND ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THE ATTENDANT SAID THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER NEIGHBOR'S WINDSTAR. I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE DIDN'T BOTHER TO (OR DON'T KNOW HOW TO) REPORT IT, LIKE ME ON THE FIRST TIME, BECAUSE FORD SAID IT WASN'T HAPPENING ANYWHERE ELSE OR THAT IT WAS THEIR FAULT. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2000","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"WINDSTAR","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
