2 Driveshaft problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2001

I have had the rack and pinion replaced it has failed again. The front half shafts have been replaced they have failed again. I have paid for many four wheel alignments which won't hold. I've paid for new brakes and many tire and wheel balancning which also haven't helped. Carl gregory Ford doesn't know what is wrong with the front end of my car and refuse to do any other repairs until the engineer drives it. I've had one appointment with the engineer for which he didn't show up. The next appointment is July 29 who knows what run around I will get then. I have had an ongoing problem with the front end of my car for over 7 months and 10000 miles. The car will not hold an alignment, the front end pops,grinds, and cracks, and drives very loose. It does not handle the road well at all. It isn't safe for me, especially for my children not to mention any other vehicle on the road anywhere near me. The dpfe sensor has also been replaced, what is that? please help me to get my car safe to drive again. Thanks.
