I bought a used ford windstar about a year and a half ago. Found out it had a recall on it because the rear axle was braking on them. What was happening is they were rusting from the inside out. Their fix was a bracket to hold the axle in place. Then they had a Second recall on them to make sure the bracket was placed properly. It does not fix the problem, eventually the bracket also rusts out where the axle breaks because it rusts and corrodes from the inside out. It cost over $******* to fix yourself. Ford does not claim responsibility they say as long as the bracket was placed correctly it does not go under recall. If anyone else is having or has had this problem you can email the NHTSA at nhtsa.gov or call them *******236. I would hate to find out that someone else thinks their vehicle safe because they have the brackets only to find out that they have also rusted through and corroded causing an accident.
