Due to the car seat braking I have several injuries and have been going to therapy daily. I had a 2010 Ford focus and changed it to the Ford Escape for security purposes and now this happens.

Due to the accident I have no car now and now why of getting anywhere and the wait will be prolonged due to the safety features that did not work on the car they have to investigate further.
