NHTSA Complaint #708204 — 1999 FORD EXPEDITION

I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHEN A DRIVER RAN A RED LIGHT AND COLLIDED WITH THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER PANEL AT BUMPER LEVEL. THE IMPACT OF THE COLLISION CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO SPIN AROUND FACING NORTH AND THE VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER ON ITS ROOF. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE DAMAGE AT THE POINT OF IMPACT WAS NOT SO SEVERE THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE FLIPPED ONTO ITS ROOF. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. HOWEVER, I WILL NOTE THAT MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN A CHILD SAFETY SEAT IN THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AND I WAS ALSO WEARING A SEAT BELT. MY DAUGHTER DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURIES AND I SUSTAINED SOME NECK AND BACK SPRAIN. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE ROLLOVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WHICH COLLIDED WITH MY EXPEDITION WAS A SMALL 1989 DODGE (OMNI ?) HATCHBACK. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF THIS VEHICLE HAS A PROPENSITY TO ROLLOVER SINCE I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE AND AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN. *AK
