MY SON IN LAW INSPECTED IT FURTHER TO DISCOVER THAT THE REAR AXLE HAD BENT. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION WE DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON ALL FORD WINDSTAR MODELS BETWEEN 1998 AND 2003. WE NOTIFIED FORD AND THEY TOLD US THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN RECALLED AND REPAIRED IN 2011 AND THE REPAIR HAD A 12 MONTH WARRANTY. MY SON IN LAW CHECKED AND SURE ENOUGH THERE WERE REPAIR SLEEVES WRAPPED AROUND THE REAR AXLE AT BOTH ENDS. THIS REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM BECAUSE THE REAR AXLE HAD CRACKED RIGHT UNDER WHERE THE REPAIR SLEEVE WAS PLACED AND HAD BENT BAD, BAD ENOUGH THAT BOTH REAR TIRES WERE RUBBING THE INNER FENDERS AT THE TOP AND THE VAN WAS SITTING MUCH LOWER IN THE REAR END THAN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THANK GOD I HAD NOTICED THE PROBLEM BEFORE THE AXLE COMPLETELY CRACKED IN HALF THE REST OF THE WAY BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING ELSE HOLDING THE REAR WHEELS ONTO THE VEHICLE AND IF I WAS DRIVING THE WHEEL AND PART OF THE AXLE COULD HAVE FLOWN OFF TO WHO KNOWS WHERE AND POSSIBLY KILLED ME AND WHOEVER ELSE WAS IN THE VAN. I'VE HAD TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE REAR AXLE WITH ANOTHER PART FROM ANOTHER VAN WHICH IS ALSO DEFECTIVE AND WILL SOON HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. FORD TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PAST THE ORIGINAL \"FIX\" WHICH WAS WARRANTIED FOR ONLY 12 MONTHS. THE RECALL WAS NOT A GOOD FIX AND SEEMS TO HAVE ONLY BEEN A BAND AID TO KEEP CUSTOMERS QUIET UNTIL THE WARRANTY ON IT RUNS OUT. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND IN FACT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE, COINCIDENTALLY AROUND THE SAME TIME AS MY INCIDENT HAPPENED.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2000","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"WINDSTAR","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
