Description of the problem	Hi my name is [xxx]. I purchased this 2014 ford explorer from a certified ford garage mechanic this summer. The private party purchase was in june 2020 with 89,xxx miles. The seller showed me every repair, oil change, brakes etc. Were done in a ford garage. Ten thousand miles later the vehicle snapped a toe link lateral arm driving down a smooth highway 60mph! The vehicle swerved and my wife and 2 young kids were in danger.. The vehicle was towed, for the wheel was tipped in and not stable... Flat bed tow $100 out of pocket... Ford of hibbing dealer said the vehicle was not recalled and they wouldn't have time to repair for over a month.. They sold me the factory ford toe link that was the "fix" upgrade... With all the dealers and local auto shops way way behind and short handed i had the vehicle towed again for $100 out of pocket to my garage.. I went to tech school out of high school for auto mechanic and received a 2 year degree and previously was a auto mechanic for 10 plus years.. Anyways beyond that point i replaced the toe link in my shop and inspected other points.. After i replaced the link i was able to have the vehicle towed to a local tire and alignment shop in hibbing mn (iron range tire) which they than professionally aligned and tightened the rear suspension. 100 miles later happens again to my wife and kids down the highway!! Towed again $100! Currently at lundgren ford dealer eveleth mn. $2800 to replace and repair suspension components! Filed a ford case # [xxx]. Ford refused to cooperate or possibly pay for repair! The service dept manager said the vehicle was serviced regularly at that shop and said service records show the complete rear suspension was replaced in 2019!! 20,000 miles ago! And its already breaking again! Its unsafe for my wife and 4 & 6yr old boys! Please help! Im seriously not wasting time! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
