I'm not sure if the Ford Escape is the same as the Mazda Tribute V6, (pretty sure it is), Duratec engine, but a r/f brake hose collapsed, The car went left hard at about 130 when braking hard, wrote itself off, and hospitalised me.
Had to be cut out of the thing,
Cops tried to do me for reckless driving, as there were no skid marks, (on a wet road).
3 years off work.face-red-droopy-eyes
All charges eventually dropped, and insurance paid out.
Mysteriously, they lost the wreck.
What a shitbox.
There are still bits of that vehicle over 50 metres in the bush - spotlights, my cellphone, documents, and unfortunately I don't remember the incident, but I often go looking for that phone.
12 mpg on a good day, but it WAS fast,.
Not the best car I ever owned, and I paid a shitload of money for it.
It hurt quite a lot, in all ways.
I still can't walk properly.
Never buy a car with a name that starts with "M".
