2010 FORD ESCAPE Wheels Problems

FRAME ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IS RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING WHEEL TO BE DETACHED FROM FRAME AND ALSO CONTROL ARM. TOLD NOT TO DRIVE CAR AT ALL UNTIL FRAME IS FIXED. SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE IS KEPT IN A GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE BRAKES BEGIN TO MAKE LOUD NOISES THEN IT WILL SLOW DOWN AS I'M TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THEN IT WILL PICK BACKUP WITH SPEED. AFTER WHICH I BEGAN TO NOTICE A BURNING SMELL AS IF THE TIRES ARE BURNING..

MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE ISNT BUT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALL OF WHEEL BEARING BEING INCORRECTLY SIZED AND POWER STEERING FAILURE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAVING THEM CHECKED ASAP. BECAUSE OF THE INCORRECT SIZING AND THE POWER STEERING FAILING DRIVING WITH THEM WILL END UP COSTING YOU A LOT OF MONEY AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON HIGHWAY. WHEEL BEARINGS INCORRECTLY SIZED WILL LOCK UP ON YOU WHILE DRIVING RANDOMLY.

IN ADDITION, DESPITE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, MY CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, WHICH WAS DIFFICULT TO DO SINCE MY CAR WAS STRUGGLING TO MOVE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET THE CAR TO RESTART. IT STRUGGLED AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT, BUT AFTER APPROXIMATELY TEN SECONDS, IT STARTED UP. NOW, IN ADDITION TO THE "WRENCH" LIGHT, MY ESCAPE ALSO HAD...
