2004 Mercury Monterey Suspension Problems

“Thursday may 23 2019. Driving down the road and my van just cut off. I was able to restart the van and get into a parking lot. I sat for a bit and tried it again. It started. But I had no power to go forward or reverse the transmission was just gone. Absolutely no warning or anything like this had happened. No service engine light .. I was on a city street. I had just pulled forward from waiting for a red light.”

“I have a 2004 Mercury Monterey which I purchased from a dealership in november of 2004 when the van had approximately 7700 miles on it. I have maintained the van. Last night, my teenaged son was driving and the van began pulling hard to the right. My son was nearly home from his job and managed to pull the van into a parking space. The wheels are leaning heavily inward and one (18 month old) tire is buckling. It appears the front axel is breaking. The van is undrivable. I have never received a recall notice for this defect. …”

“Front bearing and hub assembly scraping and grinding noise required replacement after 58,000 miles. Could no longer trust extended use of vehicle for fear of catastrophic failure.”

Both side will not to take care of it and I have to replace new tires every year. What can I do?”
