2002 Ford Excursion Suspension problems

As I was driving the transfer case and drive shaft dropped out of truck. Broken bolts and no warning.

2002 Ford windstar rear axle problem we were driving on 78e and were approximately 30 minutes before allentown. All of a sudden we heard a crack, smelled smoke, and heard metal scraping. The car started fishtailing and my husband virtually had no control of the car as the windstar repeatedly crossed 2 lanes and almost hit the middle barrier and then fishtailed toward the other side. Luckily there were no cars or trucks in front or in back of us and we were at a slight uphill. Finally, my husband was able to...

While driving my 2002 ford taurus I experienced the failure of both front coil springs which cut open like a can opener one front tires and damaged the other. I had to have both tires and springs replaced. If I was traveling more than 15 mph I fear I would not be here today.*Cn

I am an owner of a 2002 ford explorer 2wd. At the beginning of october the vehicle starting making a horrible noise. The loud noise was coming from the rear passenger wheel. Come to find out, this is a major wheel bearing issue. I have recently gotten online and discovered how many other people are also having the same issue. What can we do to get the ford company to be held responsible for this very dangerous defect in their product that you are supposed to trust not only your life but the lives of all your...

Rear coil spring on 2002 ford taurus broke and damaged the left rear tire. I researched online and found numerous complaints. This could have been a major accident.

Purchased a used 2002 explorer in 12/2005. In 2/2007, a grinding noise appeared when I would accelerate. Took it in the same day (i was on the expressway when it occurred). They told me the bearing was bad and that I needed about $1100 in parts and $600 in labor to replace, and that I was lucky that the wheel did not fall off. He stated that, "this is common on mountaineers and explorers," and that he has done similar work other times. He recommended that I replace the other bearings, because they were all going to go at some time. I feel there should have been a recall on this issue. *Jb

I purchased a 2002 ford taurus ses on july 31,2005. However I have been experiencing a loud sound when driving like the wheel is wobbling, and this causes the car to drift suddenly almost causing a accident. I've been also experiencing a burning smell coming from the vents in the vehicles when the heat was not in use. *Jb

We noticed a slight rubbing when vehicle was turning to right while on vacation. Within 2 days it became worse, the thumping and rubbing sound were very loud and felt in the car. We opted to leave the car. Luckily we did, as the repair shop informed us that the wheel bearing was completely cracked, and noted this is not common. We were told that had we attempted to drive home, the wheel would have fallen off on the highway, as it was extremely loose. This in turn damaged our back brakes, resulting in new rotors and pads, and the shop was unable to get the emergency brakes back on as they were rusted on the car. *Nm
