Just after leaving a 4 way stop, as I tried to round the curve the steering in our 2012 escape stopped working and I could not turn the steering wheel at all. I just kept going straight. Luckily, I slowed down with the brakes but the escape continued straight and went over the curb and down a 50+ ft embankment. Even with all of this impact, no airbags were deployed throughout the car anywhere! The steering wheel locking up was bad enough, but after the accident and the condition of the car and then no airbag deployment- that was way too much!
