I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR CAME ON SO I ASSUMED THAT I NEEDED TO INFLATE THE TIRES. FORTUNATELY I MADE IT HOME AND AFTER INSPECTING THE TIRES CAME TO FIND THAT MY REAR AXLE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY BROKEN APART. YOU CAN ALMOST COMPLETELY SEE THROUGH THE AXLE AND THERE IS RUST AROUND THE BREAK. THE TIRES WERE LEANING INWARD TOWARD THE WHEEL WELL. I HAD TO HAVE A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK TOW IT TO OUR MECHANIC. FORD TOLD US THAT THIS IS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE HOWEVER I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE.  FORD HAS TOLD US THAT IT WILL COST $497 FOR A NEW AXLE. OUR MECHANIC CALLED AROUND LOOKING FOR A USED PART AT JUNKYARDS AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SELLING A LOT OF THESE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND AN OLD PART WOULD RUN $400. SO OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT FORD IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A RECALL HAS NOT OCCURRED. I REALLY HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO TAKE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS POSSIBLY CAUSING DEATH FOR THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT.  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2001","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"WINDSTAR","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
