| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On the oct 6th 2003 i was driving the ford sport-trac and suffered a seizure. i then lost control of the truck and crashed into a wall of a home in the area. the truck caught fire and i was fortunate enough to have 2 people pull me from the truck before it exploded. the airbags in the truck did not deploy and i broke my back in 2 places. the doctor at the hospital told me that the breaks in my back and the bruises on my front side alligned with the steering wheel and that was the source of my injuries. no source of the fire was found and the truck melted at the scene. i am now injured for life because of this incident. i contacted ford at the time and they never contacted me back after they said they would. |
