I have been the only owner of this vehicle have not had a super lot of problems with it. Me and my children were driving on rt.128 in Peabody and heard a noise smoke filled the car got out and realized the rear axle beam had broke in half.Thank God i was not going too fast me and my family could of been killed not that ford cares. I have been dealing with the dealership Portsmouth Ford for over 2 weeks sent them pictures and everything they say they contacted Ford and they basically told me to blow smoke out of my butt because they will not help. It will take for someone to be killed before they will recall it which is so sad but true it is all about the money.I am not looking for a new car just for them to fix it.I have been a loyal person with fords trucks and van and thunderbirds but i will not ever buy another ford or any one in my family not that they care.This problem never even gave me a warning it was driving fine then boom imagine doing 70 miles with cars behind you bad thought. This is the car i transport children in they could care less maybe if it was a ford representative car with their kids in it it would be a different story then again they probably drive a better make then the ones they sell they are too smart to drive a piece of crap FORD.I think what i should do is tow it to the front of the dealership but bright lights on it and signs to tell everyone going in there what happen and to think twice about buying a piece of crap FORD. They would love that wouldn't they that might help business it sounds really good i might do that. I have reported this to the NTSB and any one else this has happen to should do the same.I am going to call Hank Phillipi Ryan on the TV she is a Boston newscaster how loves this kind of stuff about company's screwing people i will write back to let you know how i make out.Good luck to everyone else who buys a FORD product
