| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We have a 2000 ford windstar sel limited. yesterday on 1/27/06 we were turning into a driveway when the tie rod broke. the tie rod gouged into the drive and then apparently forcefully flew up and bent the rack and pinion and link. it scared my family that was in the car at the time. the car became undriveable, and we had to have it towed to a repair shop. that was where we learned the extent of the damages. the cost of repairs at this time was estimated to be over $600. it did not seem that a tie rod should just break like this. we were fortunate that no one was injured, and that we were close to home when this happened. we will be without the vehicle for almost a week while it was being repaired. the police came to the scene as we ended up blocking traffic, but they did not make an official report. *ak |
