Consumer Description

I WAS STOPPED WAITING AT A RED LIGHT AT THE TOP OF A VERY STEEP HILL. THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN AND I LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND WENT TO PUSH THE GAS AND MY FORD ESCAPE LOST ALL POWER AND STALLED. THE BATTERY LIGHT AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON AS IT STALLED AND I STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE STEEP HILL. I HAD NO ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR AND I ALSO DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES, I TRIED TO SLAM THE BRAKES AS WE WERE ACCELERATING MORE QUICKLY DOWNHILL BUT I HAD NO CONTROL. IN A MATTER OF SECONDS MY SUV VEERED OFF THE ROAD AND HIT A BRAKE WALL AND AT THAT IMPACT MY ENTIRE VEHICLE FLIES OVER ONTO THE DRIVERS SIDE AND STOPPED. THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN ANY DOORS. A PASSING CAR STOPPED AND HELPED MY SON AND I OUT OF THE BACK HATCH. *TR
