Traveling about 35-40 mph. The left rear lower control arm broke in half. As a result of this failure the car jerked hard to the left than back to the right and then rolled over on to the drivers side and rested there with the side curtain air bags deployed. I have contacted the local dealer. The dealer backed off this immediately and said to contact Ford directly. I contacted Ford via the corperate web site 4 times with no responce. I also returned to the local dealer for guidance they gave me the phone number of the district manager. I called and left a message. I have yet to get a responce. I have pictures if desired.
