NHTSA complaint: 2001 FORD ESCAPE — STEERING
I WAS IN A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT IN MY 2001 FORD ESCAPE WHILE DRIVING AT 25-30 MPH ON A PRIMARY ROAD IN CRESSKILL, NJ. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT AND I SAW THAT I WAS GOING TO HIT A PARKED VEHICLE. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT, WHILE BREAKING, BUT THE ESCAPE DID NOT TURN. I IMPACTED THE PARKED VEHICLE, FLIPPED, SKIDDED 64 FEET ON THE ROOF OF MY ESCAPE, AND WAS ABLE TO REMOVE MYSELF FROM THE CAR WHEN HE CAME TO REST. I HAVE INTERESTING PICTURES OF THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL ASSEMBLY AND STEERING LINKAGES.*AK
