NHTSA complaint: 2007 FORD FUSION — UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 11-30-19 DUE TO MY BRAKES NOT ALLOWING ME TO STOP IN TIME AND HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR WAS STOPPED IN THE ROAD, WAITING TO TURN, AND I TRIED TO STOP BUT I COULDN'T IN TIME. IT CAUSED ENOUGH COSMETIC (ONLY) DAMAGE TO MY CAR THAT MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS FILING IT AS A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO THE COST OF REPAIRS COMPARED TO THE VALUE OF MY CAR. I WILL PROBABLY BE FORCED TO KEEP IT THOUGH SINCE I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR, SINCE I'M ON A FIXED INCOME. MY DAUGHTER IS HELPING ME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO KEEP IT, TO GET A SALVAGE TITLE AND THEN APPLY FOR A REBUILT TITLE. I JUST WANTED TO REPORT THIS IN CASE MY CAR WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE FORD BRAKE RECALL.
