What owners wrote
I was driving my 2000 windstar on the skuykill expressway on monday, july 19, 2010 at 12:33 pm on my way to an appointment. About a quarter mile befor the gilph mills exit heading east, I was in the passing lane traveling about 55-60 MPH, when there was a load "pop" from the rear of my van. I immediately lost controll of the van and it slid across the highway . I first hit the embankment off the shoulder, was thrown back into the highway as the van slide on the drivers side and then flipped upside down.
Drove vehicle to destination and when we arrived the axle snapped in half on the 2000 ford windstar. Vehicle just turned 100,000 mi when rear axle snapped. Towed to repair facility, waiting for repair estimate.
