A stalled suburban in the #1 lane at a traffic signal became visible when the van directly ahead of me swerved at the last moment. I hit the brakes but hit the suv and totaled my escort. The driver's air bag failed to deploy and the seatbelt caused a broken sternum, cracked ribs. Also had right arm broken in 3 places while bracing for impact. Passenger side airbag did deploy, although there was no passenger.

The plastic cover on the seat-back release handle ( passenger side) of my 1998 ford escort zx2 has become broken and will pop off when the seat back is released. As a result, on tuesday, december 20th, i severely lacerated my finger on the sharp metal lever inside the plastic cover while releasing the seat back. This is a very unsafe condition.

I have a '1998 ford zx2. It's really making squeaking sound since around 2 years ago, i am sure that this is not an usual squeaking sound you imagine. I had my car inspected at ford dealership and other car repair center. Before inspection, every mechanician guaranteed he could fix it. But after looking at my car, they just wondering why, and they gave up, and i just should paid. I tried to replace all kinds of belts and compressa(?), but i just wasted my money about $2,000 for that. And there's still loud sound of problem. When i reported at ford customer service about my car, they e-mail me that they would contact within 3 business day, but they didn't.he ford is so "irresponsible". I think i did every thing i can.everybody on the road is laughing at me and my car, while i am driving.i should sell my car now, but who can buy this kind of bad ford car?please tell me what should i do.thanks.
