Escape 4-cyl

  • 21,000 miles
My vehicle was driving East on wildcat, turning North on lang road in portland, tx. My daughter was driving and had a yellow blinking arrow. The car traveling West on wildcat had a yellow solid light. When my daughter went to turn the other car appeared to speed up and hit her front on at a about 35 mph speed. The airbags did not deploy nor did the seatbelt lock in place. My daughter hit her head on the steering wheel and was taken to the er. She is ok, other than a few scraps and bruises, however I have a major concern that the car I am driving and she is driving is not safe. The vehicle is currently at the dealership waiting on repairs. I have contact Ford Motor Company to report and their legal department should be getting back with me. There is quite a bit of damage to the vehicle and needs roughly 6,500 in repairs. This needs to be addressed. Please call me to explain what I can do.
