Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH ( THE SPEED LIMIT IS 75) I WANTED TO PASS A TRUCK WHEN THE STEERING GOT REALLY TIGHT, AT THAT SPEED THEIR IS NO TIME FOR PLAN B. I CLIPPED THE BACK LEFT OF THE TRUCK WITH MY RIGHT FRONT, WHICH PUT ME IN A SPIN AND THE CAR ROLLED A COUPLE TIMES. WHICH RESULTED IN A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS RUSHED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND HAD ALL KINDS OF TESTS AND RELEASED THE NEXT DAY. MY INSURANCE CO DOES NOT BELIEVE ME BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. I READ MANY ARTICLES ABOUT FORD HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PRIOR YEARS OF THERE ELECTRONIC STEERING. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND IF IT WAS NOT FOR FORD SEATBELT AND AIRBAG SYSTEM I WOULD NOT BE HERE TO WRITE THIS ARTICLE.
