I am not sure if I am using the correct website or correct form. I was involved in a very weird car accident. My Ford Escape suddenly run to the side (as I was driving on ice) is there any help to fix this?. I was driving north direction. The posted speed was 25 and mine was 20. This happened on north leland st in san pedro, CA 90731. Looks like a mechanical fault. I am not sure what was wrong. I have a police report. Thank you very much!.

3 Wheel problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2014

Going approx. 25 mph, slowing to a stop sign. Applied brakes and passenger tire made noise and u joint busted. Rim//tire was positioned incorrectly. Rust is visible. I need to know if this is related to Ford recall of Escape suvs due to rust that could cause the separation of the lower control arm from the subframe of the vehicle. The recall covers vehicles sold in states where high corrosion is likely to occur. My vehicle was purchased in bradley, IL. What do I do??.

4 Wheel problem

While driving, mainly on the interstate maintained speed of 70mph I feel the steering go very limp. It's been much like hydroplaning. Like there is air between my tires and the road. It lasts just a few seconds. I notice the steering column is rusted. The truck swerves in the lane and often going over line. The steering wheel is very loose when this happens.
