NHTSA Complaint #11482631 — 2010 FORD FLEX

Rear suspension toe-link failure on left side. Incident occurred without any notice at speed of approximately 30-35 MPH on highway after pulling away from having stopped for traffic light at intersection. Vehicle swerved uncontrollably to right at approximately 45 degrees, then began slow drift to left during which I was finally able to regain control by applying throttle pressure and torque to front wheels to pull it forward. This fortunately occurred on a multi-lane roadway with no other traffic to either side of vehicle. No insurance claim has been filed as vehicle was otherwise undamaged during this event, but it was towed to Vogler Ford, Carbondale, IL, where it remains in their service lot. It is available for inspection. I do not know if they have discussed this situation with any Ford Motor Co. personnel.
