2010 FORD EXPEDITION Structurebody Problems

FORD VEHICLE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 TO 50 MPH HITS PICKUP TRUCK BROADSIDE PUSHES TRUCK AT 45 DEGREE ANGLE ABOUT 25 FEET. DAMAGE TO FORD FRONT BUMPER, FENDER AND HOOD JUST OFF CENTER OF VEHICLE. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT!

2010 FORD EXPEDITION WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND. A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO THAT WAS ON THE NORTHBOUND SIDE, MADE A LEFT-HAND TURN IN FRONT OF THE EXPEDITION WITHOUT YIELDING RIGHT OF WAY TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE EXPEDITION WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH AND THE BRAKES LOCKED UP LEAVING SKID MARKS ON THE PAVEMENT. THERE WAS NO TIME TO REACT AS IT TOOK PLACE SO QUICKLY.

THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AS YOU LOOSE ALL VISIBILITY EVERY TIME YOU RUN THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER. HAVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON HIGH STILL TAKES 3-4 CYCLES TO CLEAR THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT IS DUMPED ON THE WINDSHIELD. SO YOU ARE DRIVING BLIND UNTIL YOU EXIT THE PUDDLE/WATER ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (WHICH CAN BE QUITE A DISTANCE WITH HEAVY RAINS AND WATER RUNNING DOWN THE SIDES OF THE ROAD).
