Front Suspension problems of the 2005 Ford Escape

While driving home on a clear, sunny day, my Ford Escape pulled to the left, crossing the center line, crashing into a semi-truck twice, hitting two additional cars and flipped onto its side. I had to be cut out of my vehicle and was airlifted to a trauma center. I sustained a concussion, broken ribs and bruising all of my body. Luckily, no one was killed, but my car was completely destroyed. The car had been pulling to the left on occasion, but on those occasions I was able to correct it quickly.

The contact stated while driving vehicle pulled to the left. It felt as if the contact constantly was making a left hand turn. This problem was intermittent. The vehicle was inspected by the service dealer three times. It was determined thhat the alignment was within the manufacturer's specifications. The service dealer completed diagnostic testing and test drove the vehicle but was unable to duplicate the problem. He contacted the manufacturer. They said their engineers were aware there was a problem, and were working to find a solution. No repairs have been made. Update 1/4/2006 -.

The front suspension of my 2005 Ford Escape has a tendency to nose dive as the brakes are applied and also have excessive play in the steering. There is also a persistent rattle of the front suspension that Ford says is common to all Ford Escapes and thus far has not fixed.

Bought a 2005 Ford Escape limited 11,312 miles ago. Have had the car into the dealer six times because it keeps pulling to the left (into oncoming traffic). They have aligned, over aligned and replaced the tires. To this day, it still pulls to the left. Since it pulls to the left, a "head-on collison" is bound to happen. The Ford dealer, mac haik, doesn't seem to care or has no interest in fixing this potental dangerous situation.
