NHTSA Complaint #10896826 — 2015 FORD ESCAPE

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THIS MORNING WHEN THE REAR SPRING BROKE ON MY 2015 FORD ESCAPE. I THOUGHT THAT MY TIRE BLEW OUT AT FIRST. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY AND WHEN A SHERIFF DROVE UP BESIDE ME TO ASK IF I WAS OK, I TOLD HIM YES, I THINK MY TIRE MAY HAVE BLOWN OUT AND THAT'S WHEN HE INFORMED ME THAT IT WASN'T THE TIRE, THAT THE SPRING ON THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE WAS SITTING ON THE GROUND.
